I was so proud of myself for about 5 minutes. I narrowed down the malware to 21 pages on the boards and closed that area down.
I resubmitted the site to Google.
Then, I messed up. I thought I’d check out the database but I had to change the password to do that. Unfortunately, the host company didn’t ask for the old password first so I changed it…and the boards can’t connect to it anymore at all.
I sent a request to tech support and I hope he has the original password.
At least the malware message may be gone tomorrow…
Sorry about that!
“This site has literally saved my sanity and restored by sense of well-being while in the throes of perimenopause. I can’t imagine life without it as I log in everyday for a dose of comfort from these amazing women.
…
Dearest was an incredible woman and a pioneer in extending global help and support to millions of women.
Without her, many of us would be alone, afraid and left to face menopause without a clue as to how to get through it. May she rest in peace.”

Long ago my daughter asked me who is Alice in regards to power-surge, I explained Alice in terms of rock and roll stars (something she could relate to at that time..)
I said..well…Alice is like Mick Jagger of The Rolling Stones, everyone loves Mick.
I told that story to Alice on the telephone and we laughed and laughed, since then, when talking to Alice on the phone or chat etc..I’d call her Mick. We both got a kick out of her nickname..Mick.
Daughter then said “You mean, you get to talk to her on the phone, and she chats with you”???,
I said “yep” and she said OMIGOD (she was a teen then..) that is really like talking to the STAR and I said..”sure is”
I told daughter of “Micks” passing and she said “Oh Mom, I now realize (she’s almost 27 now) how much her website and friendship meant to you and how much it helped..”……..
Please leave your happy memories and condolences in the comments section.
Thanks!
Part of this I wrote already on the About Page:
This site is a labor of love.
My best friend and “sister”, Alice aka Dearest, was the founder of Power Surge – first on America Online, then as a free-standing site for over 20 years. We were best friends for about 18 of those years, talking about every other day for 2-3 hours at a time.
The day of Alice’s funeral, we had a beautiful butterfly just waiting outside the door when I took our dog out.
I have never seen a butterfly like this – no one here in Virginia has seen anything like this either and I never saw it again. It just sat there on the flower pot and “posed” for this picture. I like to think it was Alice saying goodbye to me.
It’s several weeks later and I’ve been given Power Surge. I don’t know if I’ll be able to keep it going or not. Certainly, it will never be as special a place as it was with Alice at the helm.
I look around the house and see things that remind me of Alice. Gifts, print outs, silly stuff, memories, the entire AOL message boards on floppy disks…
Alice, I love you and will miss you always…
