Hi I just embedded my first ,well, embed. Its Amber McArthur who I have admired for a long time.She is speaking on Net Neutrality.Thats the ability to put or get anything on the net without the worry of interference from others. Amber is speaking about problems in Canada but she could be speaking about problems here in the US also. I noticed that the embed is tucked in close to the lower half of my screen so I cannot really see it. Only half of it I should say.I guess I need a bigger screen to see it.I will try other computers that I have access to to check them out.Later ger
After about a week of checking I have attempted to notice who is still posting and who is not.My feeling is that any poster who got into the girls forum ruckus has been blacklisted. If I see any of these posters still posting on depreps I will be very upset.I continue to look at the rules for dismissal I for the life of me I cannot see anything that could cause a blacklisting of my ID. I intend to get in touch with rivals.com to discuss the situation with depreps very soon.Later on this subject.
Last week I found out that I have been banned from my favorite site,depreps. Its a local Delaware high school sports site.The administration can ban any poster form the site at any time but I was shocked to get banned. The site has rules and regulations but nearly everyone on the site occasionally breaks the rules now and then. The bad thing is that I have no idea what rule I broke to get banned and I was not warned that anymore such rule breaking would get me banned.Even the most blatant rule breakers get warned on depreps. Depreps was set up for posters to support high school sports in Delaware and state their opinions about high school sports in Delaware. Needless to say this can lead to many hotly contested threads which is good for Delaware sports.My feeling is that depreps give people from Delaware a voice which is something that was lacking in our state. This voice has been slowly eroded by the administrators and posters on the site.One of the forums,girls sports,has been ruined,mostly because the administrators allowed posters that I called "cheerleaders" to remain on the site. These "cheerleaders" rarely posted news and positive posts on the site but saw everything that their school did was good and everything that other schools did was bad.Needless to say other school fans took offense to these postings and responded to them.Iwanted to post about girls sports,mostly basketball,but I defended my school and its fans whenever I saw that it was being spat upon verbally by these "cheerleaders".Another forum on the site has been run like an iron fist and has been turned into a bulletin board with no opinion allowed. Basically its been neutered. Oviously one depreps manager likes it that way and occasionally he put his iron boot down on other posters in other forums.I assume that his influence resulted in my being banned from the site.Another thing is the amazing sensitivity to complaints on the site.A complainer is someone who reacts to the lack of the sites overall lack of sophistication and inability to do things most sites take for granted. Rivals wants it simple and depreps complies. I had been desinated a "complainer' by the site administrator because I had the audacity to point out that the site was behind the times in letting posters do things that most sites allow them to do without problem.Its almost impossible to add a signature or photo to your posts on depreps. Later about this one.
I just saw "The Transformers" rental from Netflix.
The problem that I had with the film is that the action is sooooofast and furious that it is not easy in the final battle
to tell what is a good guy.It just moves to fast.
Yo!
There is a battle going on between these guys...
fate was sealed with me when the guy who owns Grottinos( the stepped on) picked the sign that you see that looks very familar with the big guys sign. You know green and white and red.Now the little guy says that he does not have the money to change the sign or the name but he somehow had the money to have a sign created that looks like the
Grotto Pizza sign. Isn't that interesting.
My feeling is that the little guy knew exactly what he was doing when he thought up the name Grottino.My feeling is that the little guy tried to fool people into entering his shop thinking that they were entering a small version of Grottos.
Think that I am wrong?

Things started bad Sunday night with the news the the company I work for bought Bear Sterns. Employees in the banking business probably face more layoff notices and threats then anyone that I know of.An additional 14,000 employees added to our company will not help things for the lowly credit card employees that I work with who are probably the lowest paid bank people that their are.With the company pushing electronic payments and the current new customers more computer savvy we seem to be in the the sights of company slashers.
With the new credit crisis ballooning( I say "new" because bankers seem to cause new problems every ten years or so) Monday started with my fear of seeing 401ks being wiped out left and right.We seem to be holding on however.
Tuesday has started well on the Market with a 200 point lift off.

I am trying to paint it but you have to find a place to paint the model were the fumes of the paint will not sicken people,like me.More later...
Yes EXTREME MAKEOVER the TV series on ABC has been visiting my town of Wilmington Delaware.
EM which is hosted by this man...
Ty was seen yesterday at the site and everyone yelled according to our paper.
I have no trouble with EM but I did have trouble learning that the city wanted to change the
name of the street(without asking anyone,I guess.)from Clayton ST. to the name of the the kid who will benefit from this makeover.
Thats about one hundred or more years of history changed because of a mayors decision.
Wow. THATS A LOT OF EXPENSE BOY! I met with my doctor and he suggested that I remove the tire I carry as soon as possible. That means not eating a lot and walking a lot and sacrificing a lot.
LET THE SACRIFICING BEGIN!
Lent begins today.I am going to be giving up soda(tough)donuts(one muffo only).These donuts are killing me.Also I will walk once a day(tough)
Well yesterday we in Delaware had a primary.Democrats and Republicans use Delaware tax dollars to pick their canidates for president! Some party. Its like we pay for the Moose lodge electing their head moose.
My biggest Lenten hope is to lose a great deal of weight. Right now its up to 260 pounds.WOW that is to much and man it hurts.Everything hurts!

Welcome Its 2008! Wow.
MY biggest resolution is to lose da weight.Right now I am about 250 or more.
Well i am having the same problems, like everybody. Looking forward to changing things.
At work things look bad with the credit crunch and more and more people sending in their payments on the internet.
Looks like we are going to go.Nothing real yet but I am sure our shift is going.Hopefully they will keep the good people
and shift them to the second shift.
