Not getting your family domain email?

Some of you with vater.us forwarders going to hotmail.com accounts may have come to the conclusion that you aren't receiving mail sent to your vater.us address. This is because hotmail.com is pretty lame, but it's easy to fix this problem.

THE CAUSE:
hotmail.com receives a message for you@hotmail.com, but it is addressed to you@vater.us. Hotmail thinks it is junk mail, and so it puts it in the junk mail folder. Look in your Junk E-Mail folder and you should see the missing messages. However, Hotmail deletes mail in Junk E-Mail after 5 days, so you'll only be able to find the most recent 5-days worth.

THE SOLUTION:
Basically you need to tell Hotmail that it is OK to deliver your vater.us email to you. The way I've found to do this is to add your vater.us email address as a mailing list in the Junk E-Mail Protection options. Mailing lists behave the same way, in that they deliver mail to you but are addressed differently.

So from your Hotmail Inbox, click on "Options" in the upper-right, then on "Junk E-Mail Protection", and finally on "Mailing Lists". In the text field on the left, type in your you@vater.us email address (e.g. don@vater.us), and the click on the "Add >>" button. Going forward, mail should be delivered to your inbox.

You'll still have to sift through your Junk E-Mail folder though.

Hope this helps!

The Big Freeze Out - A personal message to a sad blogger

Brother Chris is bored with us ex-Vater's already. I encourage you all to raise your thumb to your noses and give him the nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah he deserves. Chris, if you cannot stomach reading about our mundane lives then don't check our blogs. Duh!!! Back to killing brain cells with you!!!!

Liam's Discovery

Mom took me to a new place today. I liked playing in the automatic door... in, out, in, out, in, out, in, out, in, out... somehow it always saw me coming. Of course, Mom dragged me away from the fun. Later I'll poop up the back of my outfit. That'll show her. Heh heh heh.

Sad times

A note to all women: It is not advisable to take your children to your annual gynecological exam

If anyone has questions just ask Catherine. (Liam was too busy trying to break out of the examination room)

Pumpkin Bending

Thanks to Jane for the help with the ears and pupils. I've submitted this to the Avatar Pumpkin Carving Comptetition, hopefully I can win some delicious fanart.

Fall Day at the Park

Since we're way behind in uploading new photos to our gallery, I thought I'd upload this photo that I snapped with my camera phone. Everyone at Citizen Park in September.

Hallo!

For now, entertain yourself with the Name Voyager! Donald was much more popular in the 1930s. :p
