So, no one in my household could sign onto AOL this morning.

I didn't see this as my problem and was TRYING to get some sleep, until my mom came in, the phone to her ear as she was talking to AOL member services, and said that our account had been suspended for spamming, specifically, that 663 emails had been sent from "Tavie".

"WHAT?"

"It said you sent 663 emails, which is spamming, so they suspended the accounts."

"THE HELL I DID!!!!!!!!" (I hope the AOL rep heard that, too.)

Then my poor, misinformed mother told me that they were sending us instructions how to run virus protection and change all our passwords, and that I wouldn't be able to keep the screen name.

"WHAAAAAT?!?!?" I screamed. "They can't do that! I've had this screenname for eight years!"

Turns out my mom doesn't know the difference between a "screen name" and a "password". (I've also had the PASSWORD for eight years, but that's small matter.) So that was a nice scare for me.

(And yes, I'm lazy and copied that directly from the email I sent my friends. {g})
