I love the rain. When you live in a place that only gets rain half the year, blue skies and endless sunshine get boring. Everything gets covered with grime because there is dew in the mornings to make it stick with no rain to wash it off. All the wild areas turn brown and tan except for the trees.

The rain washes everything clean. When the rainy season is going on, everything is so lush and green!

The rain makes me dance with my hands and face turned toward the sky. I love the feel of the drops splashing onto my skin and the soft wet grass tickling my bare feet. I love listening to thunder and watching nature's fireworks. Thunderstorms bring out the primal me, huddled in my cave with my mate, isolated from the world by the wild storm. The power in a thunderstorm is a reminder of the power in the universe, both terrible and soothing at the same time. The ocean has the same effect for me.

I know when I hand my troubles off to the universe I have no worries. The universe's strength to handle them is so much greater than my own.

Domain name registration

Everything comes due at once. The first week of June I have to renew my website domain name. They're not cheap. It's $35 for one year. I know I've seen much cheaper prices elsewhere.

Anyone know of reputable sites with cheaper registration?

Google is my friend

Thanks for the advice! My old domain contract expires June 11th, so I'm within the window to transfer it to the new company.

I've got it done! Well, I have it started. http://www.aplus.net has a web hosting package better and cheaper than my earthlink hosting and by paying a year in advance, I get my domain registration free!

Instead of paying $35.00 for registration for a year and $19.95 per month for 2,000MB of disk space, I'm now paying $9.95 per month and get 2GB of disk space. The bandwidth is the same, I think. They're also including the setup in the deal.

If you want to go with them and call my agent, I'll get a free month added to my contract for each referral. Call Jed S at 1-877-275-8763 ext 6649, toll-free.


The best part? They use the same web design tool earthlink does so I can just upload the html files and pictures to make it all work. YAY!
