• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Dave & Teddy's Most Excellent Adventures 2012

Prayers are with you. Glad you let us all know you and Teddy are okay. We are all family and you have lots of people that care!
 
So you have solved the issue of lift at high speed? Excellent! We don't want any UFOs reported as carrying away spiked Pomeranians! :yikes:
 
I don't understand why this is so difficult for me now

I've started at least 5 different posts in the past couple of days, but just like now, my mind goes blank soon after starting, so I kind of struggle thru til I finally get too frustrated & just delete the entire thing. Its very frustrating and I'm not sure whats going on to cause me to be like this. In the past, it would all just flow out of me, but now its totally different somehow. Anyone else experience this? Is this what happens when a person turns 40, first the body starts to go then the mind???:yikes:
 
We are pulling for you here in NY to get out of this funk my friend. :thumbup:
 
Call it writers block, call it your gut knowing you dont need to say what you wrote, call it just being withdrawn a little. We all experience life differently, and the events in our lives change us in ways we sometimes do not see. As a quote from a movie I love (Push), "...the future is always changing, sometimes in the largest of ways from the smallest events."

I am glad to see you "talking" again, and seeing you out with Teddy. Even if we never get the rest of the story, if you never elaborate in a huge manner, or anything for that matter. Just glad your having fun and being happy. Trust me bro, I have been some bad places in the past 3 years, dark alleys and on the verge of things that are WAY bad. Yesterday is the past, tomorrow is a dream and very uncertain, but today, today is a gift and that is why they call it the present.

Rock out with your... nevermind, anyway, have some fun, and remember, I hope the rest of this week is some of what you wish for, some of what you hope it isnt, and mostly all that you need.
 
You're Back!

Welcome back my spyder friend and spyder Teddy! In my darkest days, I always remember what my Father had told me many years ago. "Never look back, always look forward", sometimes the past can hurt you. Works for me on many occasions.
 
Alright Teddy's back

And you too Dave. Glad your back. Don't worry about the wording, it will come back in time. You had a very tough couple of weeks and your body and mind need to heal. Give it some time. Just thankful to see you out on your or rather Teddy's spyder. That is the best therapy you can get.

Well said zrc -

So glad to to hear from you Dave. All great writers have dry spells. Take it one day at a time, just give us a few crumbs, we will wait patiently for the presents you give to us.
 
Hey Dave, I was at our local dog park last night and I saw Teddy's double. I was saying to my husband that the dog looked like Teddy and the owner said his name is Teddy. She had just adopted him and named him Teddy because she said when she researched names for Poms Teddy was the most popular. Who knew!
 
I had no clue

Wow, to think, researching dog names, huh:shocked::roflblack: My research was to just watch his personality for a couple of days, he was just so cute & fuzzy and when I looked at this pic I snapped of us, he just reminded me of a fuzzy little Teddy bear, hence the name:rolleyes:

What a great picture!!
 
I think I'm starting to understand myself a little better

This writers block or whatever you want to call it I'm starting to think will not cure itself without intervention. And the only intervention I can see helping is a good old fashioned road-trip :yes:


That, in itself, is my problem. We haven't been on any long distance road-trips since we delivered Skiddy to her new home at Threefeets in Salem MO & thats been a while.............. too long.

And the fact that we were both sad from missing SpyderFest but was looking forward to at least making the Owners Event to be able to not only enjoy the road-trip itself, but also to meet up with so many of YOU ALL:thumbup:

But I think the final straw (so to speak) was when I was reading Lamonts Post about how great the Owners Event was and that he thought it was one of the :firstplace:Best road-trips of his life:firstplace: and I think me just reading that post, well, that instantly found a foot-hold for regret in my psyche.

I've come to realize, after that very instant of reading that, my ability to allow my emotions and our Adventures to "FLOW" and share here with ALL OF YOU was compromised. Don't misunderstand, this ISN'T Lamonts fault at all, he was only sharing with all of us that couldn't make it how great of a time he had. I just think, with all our anticipation to go, and then having to cancel at the very hour we were about to leave, then having someone that we greatly respect tell us just how great it was for him, well, yeah, recipe for regret and regret is something I don't know how to manage well, besides trying to plan the best one can to not allow it to happen again.:shocked: Realizing the problem is half the battle, right?
