It’s a very hectic day, here in the CatBox. Yesterday I had a visit from my new Providence Hospice Chaplain. I was thoroughly impressed with her. I found her a totally authentic Christian and consider myself blessed to have her. If you are so moved, please join me in a prayer of thanksgiving. On the down side I was unable to Replicate this morning. Wish me success on that. Have a fine weekend!

It’s a very tired day here in the CatBox. I learned that I am getting my Trump* Virus vaccine on Monday morning, and I’m looking forward to that. I think it’s great that this facility arranged this service for me so efficiently! I will appreciate your prayers that I have no ill effects. In the meantime I’ll be tired and busy. TGIF!

It’s a very tired day, here in the CatBox. WWWendy came yesterday morning and gave me a shower. Then she put a new topper on my bed and changed the sheets. My new Hospice Nurse came. I like her much better than the one I had before I moved. Last night I had to Republicate so bad that I finally did. It was so much that it took the poor staff aide over an hour to clean the throne when I was finally done. I hope I can regulate better from now on. I’m wishing you a happy Thursday. Prayers please and Prayers back to you!

It’s a very painful day here in the CatBox. I been trying to Republicate without success. What I did produce was bloody. I now have a suppository up my butt and am am hoping for results. I hope I do better soon. The staff here are great, considering that I am such a crappy patient. WWWendy may visit me later. Success at last. I’m drenched in sweat and the throne is full.

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.
