The wardrobe and the white tree has fallen..

So this is what happened.

In May 2010 I received a notice that it was time to renew my domain name, thewardrobeandthewhitetree.com.

I went to my Google accounts and renewed it...or so I thought.

Then yesterday Summer text me telling me that she couldn't get to my blog, I tried, and it went to Godaddy.com.

SO I was up until 1am trying to fix it and all day today.

Bottom line, I didn't renew like I thought, OR somehow all record of the renewal is now gone from my google check out page.

Yes, it still shows that I own thewardrobeandthewhitetree.com on my google apps, but Go daddy has no record of me ever owning it.

Worst yet is, someone else now owns thewardrobeandthewhitetree.com. It's a multi faith hodge-podge with something to do with inter-faith jewelry.

So, what to do?

Stay with thewardrobeandthewhitetree.blogspot.com like I have always had? But then there's the issue of how long that is, lots of typing...also there's the NEW wardrobe and the white tree out there, should I distance myself from the scammer?

Change it to Fingernaildroppings.com like Dean suggested? That will be my books title...might be good for that when it comes out?

Change it to caroleturner.net? boring but short and easy to type...but kinda narcissistic I think...ugh!!

I am just sad. I have been blogging since 7/2005 at thewardrobeandthewhitetree.com This is me, the title represents so much, I am truly grieving the loss of it's specialness, it's uniqueness. It's ME.

But it may just be time to move on.

For now you can visit me here at http://thewardrobeandthewhitetree.blogspot.com

I have no idea what the next step is...

I am so sorry that happened. How frustrating. Okay, here are my thoughts on your site name: you likely have more than one book in you and you certainly have more than one art form in you, etc. So making your site fingernaildroppings.com might be good for now, but what happens when you are on book 3? I would do something more universal so maybe go ahead and purchase caroleturner.net now so that you have it but keep doing blogspot for now since it so resonates wit you at this time. When it quit resonating, go to caroleturner.net- not because it's narcissistic but because it is the home of your thoughts, your ideas, your art, your creativity, your story.

Gay Adoption

Image
This week our Louisiana state senate was presented legislation that would allow both partners in a homosexual relationship to be named as a parent in an adoption of a child . pro-family and political Christian organizations were at the capital "fighting for traditional families" And they won, the law expansion was not approved. I'm all for free speech, fighting for what you believe in, so they have a right to speak out if they feel so led. I don't know every person that was at the capital fighting against this law expansion, but I do know many of them, and of the ones I know, NONE of them have ever adopted. I would hope they had at least funded an adoption, are part of a mentoring program for children in foster care or something that helps orphans, but I don't know if that's the case either. I do believe from over 25 years of being a part of many pro-life, pro-family political action groups, that most of the people who are in these groups have no adopted

But Did You Die?

Image
Funny how life smacks you in the face with yourself. And it will smack you in the face with everything else. Both good and bad and at the same time too often. This last year I've said to myself more times than I can count, "But did you die? No? So shut the hell up. Buck up! Grow a damn vagina Carole! No one else is going to do it, you have to!" And somehow I make it through another day. The great benefit of being raised by a single mother and watching my sister live her life, balls to the wall is I KNOW I can rise to the occasion simply because I'm alive. I am in pain everyday in my heart and in my body. I have Frozen Shoulder. My entire left arm hurts all day every day pretty much. I'm in physical therapy which helps. Motrin helps. I have to take it before bed and get up and take it during the night.  I'm left handed and it is of course my left arm. Washing my hair is difficult. I can't reach back to my bra strap with my left hand. The joy o

The Womb, Being a Woman and Baby Loss

Image
 Chrissy Teigen and John Legend lost their baby last week and the hateful, pro pre-born baby crowd came out in full anti-Christ form to attack a grieving family. The adrenaline rush from the hate filled comment section on their social media will be their reward, I won't give them any more attention. No, in this post I'm going to talk about womb issues, empathize with a grieving family and share my story. From the time I was twelve until I had a hysterectomy at age forty I dealt with excruciating pain at the beginning of my periods most months due to Endometriosis. It also caused me trouble getting pregnant and caused me to have a horrific pregnancy. My doctor said he was surprised I got pregnant at all. After we had Evangeline I wanted to have more kids so we tried mild fertility pills which made the Endometriosis worse. There was one point during the treatment when my period was late so I took a pregnancy test and it was positive. I was so excited. All the pain and fertility t
