On the Side

thought you should know...

  • Now, I'm no neat freak but I do feel strongly about proper hygiene. So this morning while having a lively banter with my coworkers it was brought up that one of them spotted Cynthia Nixon (Miranda from Sex and the City) at Tequila Sunrise (corner of Steinway and Northern Blvd. Read on...
  • My darlings, I have to apologize for the silence here yesterday. We were too busy having tickle fights and drinking banana daiquiris. And I think we fell into a non-leap year worm hole, bending the fabric of space an time. Not to worry, all is well at GS Central. Now, Read on...

Meme My Mother Found My Website*

20040616 old womanHi mom. Yes, I know you're out there reading this. Even after I expressly told you it was OFF LIMITS!

Until yesterday I was blissfully writing without self-censoring, knowing that most people reading didn't know me personally. But mom sleuthed, searched, questioned witnesses, she beat them into submission and it finally paid off and she had my url. When I saw the IP address of her work in the stats yesterday I immediately sent out the following email:

Dear Mother,
Are you happy now?
signed,
Currently having phone number changed.

I know you think I'm being harsh. But I had another blog and I told my mom about it, so she started her own blog and blog stalked mine. Every day, ten times a day and hundreds and hundreds of page views. Click, click, clicking away.

I love you mom (hugs and kisses!).

She started commenting on every single post and would call me and harass me if she didn't like my post topic. She would act very sly about it, "So, you bought new underwear the other day, I see." "Why didn't you tell me you were going on a date, I have to find out from the internet!!" "Oh Meme, you really come off as pathetic sometimes, you ought to try sounding a little more happy then men might find you interesting."

Did I mention how much I love my mom!

Then when I started this one I nearly abandoned the old one, posting every once in a while to throw her a bone. But she knew I was up to something so I told her, "yes, I have a new blog but you can't read it." She asked nearly every day and I continued to say 'No' emphatically.

And, my mom is one of the smartest prettiest women I know.

So, what does she do, she goes against my wishes and opens Pandora's Box. Shame on you! Tsk, tsk. I shall remain true to my word and not self-censor, so Mom - you might want to grow a thick skin.

I ♥ my Mom!

*If anyone can show me how to restrict an IP from accessing my site, please for the love of all that is good and unholy (and if I'm ever to post any pictures of a sexy nature again), please show me how to do it!!

    • Personally, I want your mom to comment on here. She’s HILARIOUS. Make her the fourth member of Girlspoke. Give her a weekly column.

      Please?

    • You’re lucky. I keep asking my mom if she’s read my new blog, and she always stammers and claims that she’s been “really busy” lately.

    • I think Pauly is on to something here…

    • To restrict an IP… (I’m assuming you know a tiny bit about PHP and that this is a site made in PHP)

      Replace 192.168.1.2 with the IP address to block.

      Heh, this could become a mother-daughter thing! Mom makes IP address dynamic, you block her, she uses a proxy, you block that…

    • My mom said she doesn’t like my blog photo. She just got the link a few days ago and had to tell me that… I wonder what she’ll make of my post called “it gives good head.” I hope you will not censor meme!

    • The best thing about having your mother read your blog is that you don’t have to call her on the phone as much.

    • Wonderful post Meme, I like the undertone here. Your mom should be proud of you. No?

    • Hi,
      create a txt document. and write this without quote

      “deny from 231.97.168.45″

      Of course, put the good ip adress. save as htaccess.txt

      Upload in the main directory of your site. And Rename it to .htaccess

      Done

      php solution are not a good way, took time to comput for nothing. Use the power of htaccess.

    • Hi,
      I landed up here from 9rules website…anyways…to block the ip..

      add these lines into the .htaccess file present in the root directory of your site…

      order allow,deny
      deny from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
      allow from all

      replace xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx with the IP you want to block :)

    • Cracker! Given some of the things I’ve said on my website, I’d be much more worried about my mother-in-law finding it!

      Thankfully, she can barely work out how to switch her computer on! Unless she’s secretly hiding her skills and has been following me around the internet…..yikes!

    • I was scared at first when my brother “accidentally” told my parents about my site, but now it’s kind of nice to have them along. Once you get past the weird taboo of swearing and talking about embarrassing topics in front of her, I’ll bet it will all be okay. And if not? BAN HER! :-)

    • Man. My mom found out about my website a while ago, and I have to hear her pointed comments all the time. Like about the fact that I have a small section of the site devoted to *ahem* nude galleries. And the fact that I curse too much. And, more or less, everything on it. But I’ve never censored myself. Fuck it, I say. Since when are mothers supposed to approve of the things their children do?

    • So many times I’ve tried to explain to my mother what a blog was and what the point of me having one was. She will randomly show my page to her friends but is not able to explain what it is. Anyway, funny post.

    • I’m glad my mom isn’t so web-savvy. Heck, she’s barely even computer-savvy, so I don’t have to worry about her when it comes to my blog. The thing is, I know for a fact that my older sister reads it and so do a few former teachers, so I still have to censor things a bit.

      But it’s always nice to throw caution to the wind every now and then regardless of who’s reading…

    • OH MY GOD. My worst nightmare. I blogged about this recently as Pink Lemonade Diva’s mom told her she wanted to talk about her blog content on a trip home . . . my hair literally stood on end when I read that. Hope you are surviving it . . .

      Posted by kris # 2 years, 9 months ago
    • that was funny :) ,

      It wasn’t so bad, at least she likes your blog. But…it is really disturbing to know your parents…well…they know.
