Well, I couldn't resist. Anything to avoid doing the accounting.
* www.tammy.com redirects one to an erotica site. My husband is quite
entertained by this.
* www.tamra.com goes to a (rather broken) site for the Tamra Group of
Companies.
* www.bruce.com goes to a very strange (and broken) site for some
programmer named bruce who does web pages.
* www.hart.com goes to "Vern's SIRDS Gallery". (I can't even begin to
explain this one.)
* www.heathershaw.com isn't taken yet. (Yeah, I've thought about it. But
do I really want to find *more* relatives? The ones I have are bad enough.)
* www.beryl.com (my mom) gives me a 404 page.
* www.ned.com (dad) doesn't seem to be taken
* www.fitzwillie.com (cat #1) doesn't seem to be taken
* www.calistoga.com (cat #2) is taken by a B&B
* www.jennifer.com (Bruce's sister) goes to a site advertising Jennifer's
singing and dancing talent....she's in "the most recognized show in
Branson, Missouri." Folks, I think we have a winnah!
That's enough relatives for now...after the excitement of Jennifer.com I
just wouldn't want to find out that the rest of my relatives are all duds
as domain names.
