OkieLegacy's Database Locks Up

All I can say right now is.... "Aaaaaargh" and "Thanks to those who helped get OkieLegacy's database unlocked!"

I am so sorry this OkieLegacy newsletter is so late reaching you this week. We do have an excuse, though.

Saturday evening we were almost done with publishing this week's newsletter... WHEN... for some strange reason our database locked up on me when I was just about to publish, send it out to everyone. YES! ... Everything was not running smoothly this Saturday, BUT... we did gain an hour early Sunday morning when we turned back our clocks!

Anyway, as I was saying our newsletter database locked up on us about an hour before midnight. I couldn't get into the database to refine, publish this week's newsletter on time, because this error message came up that tried to tell me, "It had gone to bed and so should you!" The darn database locked up!

So.... after midnight and feddling with the database, I went to bed, also!

Sunday I sent out for troubleshooting help to my server and friends, while I continued trying to unlock my database. Nothing would budge!

So.... I found some old movies on the telly and curled up with my pugs and watched old black & white movies that were before my time.

Monday morning came and I tried again! Lo and behold! It was working again! Now I am sitting here with my hot tea -- rushing to get this LATE OkieLegacy Ezine out to everyone. I want to thank everyone for being patient with us during this lock-out time with our Ezine database.

NOW... As we continue into November 2007 and 5 days have passed us by this week, we anxiously await, counting the next 11 days as Oklahoma gears up for its "Centennial Celebration" to celebrate their proclamation of Statehood -- making it the 46th State of the United States.

Yes! In eleven days, 100 years will have passed as some lobbyists worked for and others against statehood for the merger of Oklahoma and Indian Territory into one State. Prohibitionist and women's suffragettes were trying to get their own rights added, attached to the statehood proclamation.

Checkout the rest of the OkieLegacy newsletter & Mailbag section for interesting tidbits of Oklahoma history.
