This is me at a really nice restaurant in London (The Wosely) listening to Lori Vallow’s absurd sentencing statement and then @PrettyLiesAlibi podcast. Well done, Gigi! Love your comprehensive coverage and your insights. Even during a very nice dinner with my husband whilst away.

Part of the success of The Sopranos had to be the respect they had for each other


Calling all quilters and artists! I’m facilitating an online art auction to benefit horse rescue— specifically minis at a rescue that is based in Nor Cal. They need the help! If you want to participate (or bid), all of the info is here: craftingalifellc.com/angelsforminis…


I was interviewed by the BBC News for the @Rackspace email debacle and ransomware. Thank you @BBCNews for shedding light on this! bbc.co.uk/news/business-…


The latest re: @Rackspace ransomware debacle. Still no communication from them re: our data & stock down nearly 20% over past 5 days. Expected to lose $30 million in annual revenue. Good—they have proven to be an irresponsible tech company. #RackspaceDown stocks.apple.com/ADiX_RGzCQQeLR…


How does @Rackspace tech company get away with horrid communication for days on end & keeping us all in the dark re: the fate of our data?! #RackspaceOutage @CNBCtech @NBCNews @nbcbayarea @WSJ @FoxNews @ABC @CBSNews

UPDATE: Since becoming aware of suspicious activity in our Hosted Exchange environment on 12/2, we’ve determined that the isolated disruption is the result of ransomware and our security team is working with a lead cyber defense firm to investigate. Status:bit.ly/3ui4CGk



About time some news outlets are starting to cover this. Scandal indeed! They also also promised updates every 12 hours and that too has not been honored. @Rackspace #RackspaceDown

And here we go @Rackspace stock has plummeted nearly 10% today b/c of the outage and horrid communication to all of their customers. Going on day 4+ of outage which is killing companies right now who can’t even grab their DNS info. @ABC @CNN @NBCNews @CNBCtech @FoxNews @MSNBC


How long does it take a media source to cover the outrageous situation with @rackspace? Prediction: tomorrow their stock (RXT) will plummet. This situation is affecting businesses worldwide, and we’ve lost a lot of $ bc of them. Next up: class action lawsuit. #RackspaceOutage


Hey @Rackspace two VERY SIMPLE questions to answer while all of us spend $ migrating our accounts on our own dollar due to your epic failure 1) Is all of our data compromised? 2) During this failure will we ever see the emails sent to us from our clients over the past few days?


This is atrocious @Rackspace ! Nearing day 3 of the major outage, security breach and NO idea if we’ve all been hacked!!! @NBCNews @nbcbayarea @abc @cbs @msnbc @CNBCtech @FoxNews

Can’t believe the @Rackspace outage isn’t trending on Twitter! This is a major event affecting many big and small businesses! #RackspaceOutage #RackspaceDown #rackspace #RackspaceBadCustomerService



For @Rackspace clients who got no help & their work around failed w/ Exchange, here’s what I did:set up google workspace,reroute your site DNS to google, then re-set your users/ emails. Export old email so when you delete your Rackspace account you’ll still have them.


My business has been shut down for 24 hours: busiest time for me all yr.Thx @Rackspace.No transparency, poor communication why our emails/cloud shut down, w/ concern our data &emails have been hacked. I hope you get exposed for the 1000s of companies you have hurt. @ScottMcGrew


What gives @Rackspace ? @CNN @MSNBC @nbc @nbcbayarea someone should cover this… the lack of transparency has 1000s of businesses everywhere concerned for the worst outcome and has essentially shut us down/ losing $$ all day.

My husband Patrick and I just launched our podcast, “Too Old to Fake It.” Title says it all! It can be found on Apple Podcasts and would love suggestions, comments, and guests.

I love how the people dismissing Matthew McConaughey as a “celebrity” fawn over the man who presided over Celebrity Apprentice and hail Ted Nugent as, well, a celebrity.


My final blog entry for 2021… wishing everyone a fabulous and healthy 2022! Cheers to you… pokeybolton.com/a-recap-of-my-…


Like many, I’ve had a hard couple of years, but after some time alone, I found the perfect person for me & I have friends who supported me when I finally found my perfect match. If you are alone this holiday, don’t give up hope. This is my favorite spread in my wedding album.
