Unstoppable Woman Dina Moor Stopped

I have made a few websites for a few people over the years. The Unstoppable Woman website is one of those websites.

The Unstoppable Woman was Dina Moor. Over her long career, as a model, Dina lived in many locations, including Vancouver, B.C. and Seattle.

But Dallas was where Dina's roots were and it is in Texas I met Dina Moor.

Of all the people for whom I've made a website, Dina Moor was my favorite to work with. The Unstoppable Woman website is fairly simple. During the week I uploaded my initial version of her website Dina would send me PDF screen caps with circles around items she wanted changed, plus a lot of notes.

Dina knowing what she wanted and being able to so well articulate it is what made her fun to work with. Working with Dina Moor was the total opposite experience to one I was having at the same time with an Elderly Geezer in Tacoma who was totally non-tech savvy and unable to articulate what he wanted, just that he did not like what he saw.

Last March I heard from Dina's sister when Dina's web hosting annual payment to me came back to her. Dina's email was not working at the time and she'd lost my phone number. I called, we chatted. Dina Moor was very amusing to talk to. I remember the re-mailed check arrived the day before I flew to Phoenix last year. I don't think I deposited it til I returned.

Then in mid-April I got a desperate call from Dina. Her Unstoppable Woman website was down. It took me a few minutes to figure out what had happened. Dina had forgotten to renew her domain. I called the place where she registered the domain and got it back up, telling Dina she could pay me for renewing the domain when I billed for the next year's web hosting.

I sent the aforementioned bill for next year's web hosting to Dina several weeks ago. It came back with a Return to Sender Undeliverable type message. I then emailed the bill to Dina's email address. That also bounced back as undeliverable.

I began to be concerned.

I then called Dina and the phone just rang and rang, with no answer, and without going to voice mail.

Then this morning I emailed Dina's sister, who had emailed me last year, to tell her I was concerned about Dina.

Dina's sister quickly replied, letting me now I had reason to be concerned, that Dina had become ill last Fall and passed away in late November.

Last year when Dina's website went down due to the domain not being renewed we talked a long time, at various times, over several days.

Dina was excited about a possible new modeling job. And a couple new Unstoppable Woman books, one based in Northern California with the other in the Austin, Texas zone, if I remember right.

I remember telling Dina to get the books to me when they're ready and I'd put them on the website. I recollect also talking about adding a monthly "What's Up With Dina" type thing to the website. Dina was going to call me back about that, but never did, with me sort of forgetting that Dina was going to call me back.

So, I'm feeling a bit melancholy this afternoon.

And thinking.

Ask not for whom the bell tolls....

Martin Luther King Day With Blue Sky At Village Creek Thinking About An Unstoppable Woman, A Hotpepper & A Grammar Challenged Queen

You are looking at an impoundment of part of Village Creek, at least I think it is part of Village Creek, although the main branch of the creek is to the left of the water in the picture. This impoundment may have something to do with the system that puts water in to the cool canals of Interlochen.

But. What is really important about this picture is something else that is shows.

Can you see it?

Blue sky has returned to my zone of North Texas.

And it is almost 60 degrees.

I really was starting to suffer my first bout of SAD of this winter. If I remember correctly I had several bouts of Seasonally Affected Disorder last winter.

I never was a SAD sufferer when I lived in Western Washington. A place with way more SAD type days than North Texas has. I guess I had developed a tolerance for drippy, gray days when I was a Washingtonian and Texas has caused me to lose my immunity.

Texas has caused me to lose so many things.

I heard from my favorite Unstoppable Woman today. The Unstoppable Woman is just about my favorite person I ever worked with to make a website. So many people do not communicate well. The Unstoppable Woman knew exactly what she wanted and was able to explain exactly what she wanted. It made it all so easy.

My other favorite Unstoppable Woman, Elsie Hotpepper, well, it goes without saying you really can not stop the Hotpepper. Even if you are foolish enough to try. Anyway, Elsie is safely back from her long weekend of tropical island saloon hopping.

And then there is the Queen of Wink. Near as I can tell her Wink Realm is growing evermore chaotic. I am not even certain that the Queen is still the Queen and has not been replaced by a King, who is now keeping the former Queen prisoner in the Wink Tower.

I got the oddest message from the Queen of Wink this morning, going on about her grammar errors, which the Queen called grammatical errors, as she complained, out of nowhere, about me being a Grammar Bully. I don't even know what a Grammar Bully is, let alone how to be one. And then, in her message complaining about me being a Grammar Bully, the Queen made at least one rather bad grammar error. I'd point it out, but I don't want to be a bully.

So, there you go, my exciting Martin Luther King Day. So far.

Unstoppable Woman™ Mentoring Conference

There is this Unstoppable Woman in Dallas named Dina Moor. I made her an Unstoppable Woman website a year or two ago.

For the past few months the Unstoppable Woman has been preparing to hold a meeting in Plano this coming November 3 called the "Unstoppable Woman™ Mentoring Conference."

Unstoppable Women from all over North Texas will be there, including an appearance by Laura Bush. And an astronaut. I don't know if the astronaut is an Unstoppable Woman or not.

Okay. I'm done with my shameless Unstoppable Woman plug now.

Unstoppable Woman

I'll be talking to an Unstoppable Woman named Dina Moor today. She's organizing an Unstoppable Women Conference to be held in Plano in November. Plano is a northern suburb of Dallas. Near where Southfork Ranch is where J.R. Ewing used to pretend to live, along with his Unstoppable Woman wife, Sue Ellen.

Laura Bush will be at the Unstoppable Women Conference, either in person or via video.

So, why am I talking to this Unstoppable Woman? Well, last year I made a website for her, so she could promote her books and other Unstoppable Women. Apparently I'm going to be adding new stuff to the website to promote the upcoming Unstoppable Women Conference. The details have been confusing via email, hence the in person Unstoppable Woman contact today.

I've known a few Unstoppable Women. I've also known a few I wish I could stop.
