I can sit calmly and peacefully anywhere and simply think my thoughts except the bathroom and then I find I need to be occupied with something else. I can’t just sit and do my business and think peaceful thoughts and apparently Bill can’t either because he has to have his motorcycle books to look at and I have my poker game. I have a small stool near the throne that holds our bathroom necessities.
I’m sure many people occupy themselves in different ways. I was at a Realtors office that I knew and had to use their bathroom and I was astonished to see telephones installed in there right next to the toilet. That is where I would have to draw the line, I can not be trying to rid my body of toxins and talk to someone on the phone at the same time although I have heard many women in the stalls next to me talking on their cell phones.
That’s like an invasion of privacy for me, it’s bad enough when your in a public bathroom with a bunch of stalls and women. I must be weird because I can not poop in public nor in anyone’s house I have to wait till I get home for that part, but I can’t hold my water that long so I’m forced to use public bathrooms from time to time. I have a heck of a time when we go on trips unless we stay in a motel because I’ll go a week without pooping.
I know people actually can poop in public because I hear them grunting and breaking wind and stinking the whole place up, now that’s just rude. What’s even more rude is if they are just finishing up when I stop in to pee and leave before I can get out of there and someone else comes in and thinks I was that horrible smelly person. That’s just downright embarrassing, then you have them pointing you out to their mate all over the store.
I know people do that because Bill bless his heart points out those smelly men to me, like I really care. He’s also like me he can’t go in public, but it doesn’t seem to bother most men they go no matter where they are. They also don’t seem to have any problem or remorse when they break wind either, they actually think it’s funny and then they try to blame it on the woman. Everyone knows that a woman will pass out from trying to hold it in, so don’t even go there.
I once worked with a girl in Tennessee that had me and everyone cracking up. Every living soul burps from both ends, but this girl swore up and down that she had never done either. I try to believe what people tell me, but that was a little over the top. I know I’m weird and even when I’m in the bathroom at home I have to have the door shut and know that Bill is out of hearing distance before I am comfortable enough to do what I went in there for.
Why in the world would I want someone to read this? Because I’m curious to know if there are other people out there like me, nosey and personal aren’t I? This post actually falls under my last post “Thanks For Reading My Drivel.”
Why in the world do I have this blog and why would I want someone to read my drivel = “talking nonsense and senselessly at times.” Sometimes I might have a word of wisdom, but not usually so maybe I am heading down that senile path and actually think I can write.
I know I can’t write and my poetry sucks even worse so why am I here and using Entrecard for traffic for this blog? I can’t really answer that unless I just want to torture people and see if they will read my drivel and respond and surprisingly many have, which I do thank-you for.
I have 2 other blogs which I’m not posting for right now because my world kind of closed in on me for awhile so for right now I’m just trying to get back to my normal with this one which isn’t to say would be the world’s normal, just the way I know and see it.
I am not a very ambitious person for the one commenter on my last post and I don’t do mailing lists. I wouldn’t know what to do with a list and I would certainly hate to push promotions down someones throat all the time, people get so tired of that and end up opting out.
I really don’t expect anyone to take any action and do anything here other than maybe take the time and scan a post and if they have something to add to please do so. I don’t always respond to a comment because usually they don’t require one unless they specifically ask a question.
I am a Cosmetologist by profession and I have a beauty blog, but I have gotten so behind in answering the comments about reciprocity because they keep asking the same things over and over instead of searching for an answer they may have been given already on the site, it gets boring.
This blog is basically to unwind and do and say what I please when I feel like it and do and say whatever I want without hurting anyone’s feelings of course, but you can’t please everyone. My opinions aren’t really hardcore unless it has to do with spirituality and I’ve been known to change my mind easily if something else makes better sense to me.
That doesn’t mean I am wishy washy, it simply means I can see when I’ve made a wrong choice because I try to look at the whole picture and I’m not so stubborn that I can’t see when I’m wrong and I will apologise if I’ve wronged someone. I really appreciate all the nice people I have met online and I really thank-you for reading my drivel.
I like so many others looking to draw more visitors to their blog signed up for Adgitize. I have been with them for 3 months and 2 of those I have been an advertiser at 14 dollars a month. I think after this month I will have to re-think the whole thing. I think I appreciate the traffic I get from Entrecard for free because I’ve met so many really nice people through them and most of those are the ones using Adgitize now to get more visitors, but are you or is it the same?
Although many people say that they have made lots of money through Adgitize I certainly have not. After 3 months I’m not even up to 10 dollars and that includes extra points for writing my posts, I have never been great at marketing, but I do try sometimes, but I’m not great at selling things. The only thing I was ever able to sell without opening my mouth was booze when I tended bar too bad everything isn’t that easy.
I keep reading about how great Adgitize is, but I haven’t decided that for myself yet. Half the time it doesn’t even work. I guess some people are just better at pushing a program, but even if someone signs up under you the pay out is only a one time 5 dollar finder fee then 1 dollar a month as long as they remain an advertiser. I have noticed that some people that had it on their blog have now removed it. Have any of you that use it had problems?
Update: I just read this on the Adgitize site:
“It seems that our database server is down currently. We’re doing everything in our power to move it along, unfortunately we don’t have much power over these things. We were assured it will be back up soon, admittedly we were hoping it would be up by now. Once everything is back up all current advertisers will receive a one week extension on their ad to make up for the lost time. Thank you for your continued patience and I am sincerely sorry for the inconvenience!”
At first I had thought they didn’t like my post above because I was questioning the validity of the program, but then I saw they were down on everyone’s blog and then I didn’t feel so bad. At first I thought they had deleted me because I couldn’t log in. I had read on the Entrecard forum that someone had written a post and was censored and had their ad removed, which I thought was bad since they had been approved for their content beforehand…. Okay enough from me…Goodnight!
This was a very frustrating morning with my web host. My sites and blogs have been down for 4 hours and I just spoke with live chat support for Bluehost and the final reply was:
Mike [8:16:57 AM]: Welcome to our real-time support area
jude [8:16:57 AM]: It’s been 4 hours now, how much longer?
[8:17:44 AM]: Any idea when this issue will be resolved?
Mike [8:18:09 AM]: We had a cooling outage for a little while and deeply apologize for the inconvenience as we had to shut some servers down to protect our hardware and your data. Our repairman was able to find the parts we need and we’re told by the admins that the cooling is now back on. After that we’d just be waiting for the servers to come up after the room has cooled off enough to turn them back on safely.
We appreciate your continued patience. I apologize that we are too swamped for me to speak to you individually at this time. Once things calm down we’ll resume normal support service. I’ve only seen this happen once in my many years here and no it should not continue to be a problem.
Finally back up….I have had down time with them before, but nothing of this magnitude and from Mike’s reply apparently he’s only seen this once before. At any rate I would like to apologize to those bloggers that were unable to reach my blog and I certainly hope there will be no other outages. I know these problems happen from time to time, but 4 hours is ridiculous. Have a great day, I have to go check on Shadow he’s very restless today.
