It’s a very sore and tired day here in the CatBox. I took as shower and and had all the medical attention I needed to my legs and back. I’m especially proud to announce that, once again, I Republicated all by myself. However, it wasn’t just a Republican. I’m sure I trapped at least three Senators in that pot. I did not get BBMMM, but I may have gotten a Congressional Committee too! Today, I plan a lazy day, and God knows I need one. Please join me, and have a blessed Sunday!

It’s a busy time and the beginning of a new month here in the CatBox. Yesterday I slept most of the early part of the day. WWWendy stopped by, and I found that she had already done most of my EOM paperwork. This morning I woke up and tried to Republicate all by myself with no suppository or any other external help. Would you believe that there was actually a Republican in the bowl!??! I slammed the lid down fast so it couldn’t get away, but I think congratulations are in order. Have a wonder weekend!

It’s a sweaty day hear in the CatBox. Yesterday, after I finally Republicated, I spent most of the day either sleeping or sweating. WWWendy us planning to visit later this afternoon, and I have a pants-load of end-of-the-month paperwork to finish. I hope it works out. Please be patient with any glitches.

It’s a butt plugged morning here in the CatBox. They finally fixed my toilet. After a suppository, I finally Republicated a turd worthy of Ted Cruz and Bill Barf*! It really was that vile, but thanks to your prayerful supplications, it’s gone. Yesterday WWWendy came and gave me a shower and she plans to visit tomorrow

It’s a very tired day, here in the CatBox. My adverse reaction to the Trump** virus vaccine is over and I’m glad for that. Staff here did not have the tool they needed to replace my toilet seat, so I have to wait a day for a comfortable place to Republicate. Happy Hump Day!

It’s been a sickly day here in the CatBox. My Trump** Virus vaccine was about two hours late, and I had an adverse reaction, but not until twelve hours later. The nausea was quite severe when it came, and it took an anti nausea med to control it then. Now U feel the need to poop but cannot posh the Republicans out of my butt. I seem to be over the nausea.

It’s a busy day here in the CatBox. Yesterday I rested well, but today I have my Trump* – Virus vaccine at around 10:00 AM. WWWendy will be working at my old place this morning and coming to visit me sometime this afternoon. The first time they gave the Moderna vaccine here, nobody had bad side effects, but prayers have never hurt, so prayers-up, please. I Hope this posts. I messed this up.

It’s a hectic day here in the CatBox. After spending the last hour sitting on the throne and waiting for the last turd to exit my butt was my my limit, I filled the throne with Republicans, thanks and hugs to all.

PHP is a programming language used to build websites. We have it at all through our hosting partner, BlueHost. In order to update it, we have to go through Bluehost. During his life, TomCat was the only one who had access to our account there. I (JD) am now the only one. I have been to BlueHost and investigated updating our PHP to 8.3 or even to 8.1. I found instructions to do so - in fact, I found two conflicting sets of instructions. I went through one set of the steps and got the message that Our site could not handle 8.3, but that it had successfully updated to 8.1. I then went back here to see what it looked like. But I couldn't get in - either as an administrator or as a reader. It was just gone. I had to reach BlueHost by phone. It was determined that Politics Plus is in fact not compatible with any version of PHP newer than the one we have. BlueHost therefore uninstalled it for me, and the site came back to normal. Of course, like everyone else, I care about security. But I also am aware that TomCat elected to use different providers for several of the services that BlueHost provides, for instance backups. We are backed up daily - but not by BlueHost. However, out PHP is through Bluehost. I feel that if they are not worried about the older version, I am not going to worry about it. I believe that our security here is all or mostly through WordFence, whom I trust.
