PSA: AOL Instant Messenger will be discontinued. For those who haven't heard and didn't get the email notice, AIM ( AOL Instant Messenger ) is being canned and dropped as of December 15, 2017. AOHell is getting rid of it completely. Per their email:
"We see that you've used AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) in the past, so we wanted to let you know that AIM will be discontinued and will no longer work as of December 15, 2017.
Before December 15, you can continue to use the service. After December 15, you will no longer have access to AIM and your data will be deleted. If you use an @ aim . com email address, your email account will not be affected and you will still be able to send and receive email as usual."
So basically everyone who kept it connected via linked accounts so they could keep in touch with friends via an instant messaging service might want to reach out and update contacts before you lose them. I had a feeling it would happen with recent changes they made, trying to force people to use and pay for the service."We see that you've used AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) in the past, so we wanted to let you know that AIM will be discontinued and will no longer work as of December 15, 2017.
Before December 15, you can continue to use the service. After December 15, you will no longer have access to AIM and your data will be deleted. If you use an @ aim . com email address, your email account will not be affected and you will still be able to send and receive email as usual."

You can see AOL ( now Oath )'s FAQ about it here:
For those of us who have used AIM since 1997 and before ( when still with AOHell as an ISP ), this really, really sucks. So much for nostalgia and maintaining old connections. Thanks for screwing us all over Oath. I highly doubt you will develop anything more iconic or life changing than the original AIM platform has been.

UPDATE 1 :
Quick update on my mom. She was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer. As far as they can tell, it has not spread anywhere else. She is on heavy chemo and radiation to shrink it so they can do surgery to remove it. Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers and your support. Mom and I and the rest of our family greatly appreciate it. Will keep updating as she goes through treatment.
===================
I have some bad news. I just found out today my mom was diagnosed with colon cancer. She has to go next week for more testing. Hopefully it has not spread anywhere else. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.

Broken Greenhouse
Apologies for not much posting, but on top of having to deal with painful emergency oral surgery and recovery over the holidays, and other general downers like not being able to eat much without blending it because hardly any teeth left ( new dieting strategy? lolz ), my greenhouse was totally destroyed early this morning due do unexpected severe wind storm. It was already damaged from a wind storm that happened while I was laid up from the oral surgery, and not having had the chance to fully repair that damage and some tension loss in the guy ropes. The wind brought in by this front had 50mph sustained gusts all day that just obliterated the
