First, I had to take deep breaths.

(DEEP BREATH, DEEP BREATH)

Then I had to talk to myself and calm myself down.

"You can handle this. FR has been down before."

(SWEATING PROFUSELY)

You aren't addicted. You can stop FReeping anytime you want."

(DEEP BREATH, STILL SWEATING)

"Oh, it's finally back? The DNS issue has been solved?"

(ON MY KNEES, TEARS OF JOY)

"An atheist's prayers have been answered. Thank Science! Thank you, Science!"

(The above is an obscure "South Park" reference.)

"I'm back to normal. My hands aren't clammy. The sun is shining through the rain showers. Yes. YES!!! IT'S BACK!!!!"

First my Yahoo was misbehaving, then AOL was being very sluggish, then I tried to get into FR 5 times to wait out the issues at Yahoo and AOL, AND IT WASN’T EVEN THERE!!

So I decided to see if Google was working and I found the link below were over a dozen people said yes there is a real problem with FR. People from Maryland to California and in between.
