Maggie's blog: "General and Specific Rants!"

Have you noticed lately that when a friend leaves Fubar, all signs of their former presence here is erased - almost as if they never existed!! Not only is their profile gone, gone, gone - so is any comment they have every made on your profile, on your pics, bloody hell, even on your blogs!!! PMs that they sent you ARE GONE!!!! WTF!!!! Why is this necessary? This is a bit like shades of Big Brother again - they are no longer here, so they no longer exist! Yeah, I'm pissed! I think this erasure of people from our lives is utter bull shit!! If I didn't have the pics of my past life companions in a specific pic file, the Fubar powers that be would probably try to erase them, as well. Don't even think about it, guys!!!!! Am I the only one that has noticed this sacrilege??

Not really a rant, just a question that keeps coming to mind!! Usually daily, around here! Why, when my birthday is June 3rd, does my age change on an almost daily basis, back and forth, between 59 and 60 years of age!!! I AM 59 YEARS OF AGE!!!!BLOODY HELL!!!! Don't make me age any faster than I am. I won't be 60 until June; don't list me as 60, and don't tell me to turn my birthday back a little bit!!!! Someone in Support told me a while ago to turn my birthday back to something earlier! WTF!!!! So, to all those as confused as I am becoming, I AM 59 YEARS OF AGE UNTIL JUNE 3RD!!! Deal with it!!!!!

This is as public a forum as I'm going to get, I guess! Let it be known that it will be a cold day in Hell when I get a webcam and do anything of a private nature for cam viewing! I may get a cam at some point. But there are damned few people I'd fire that sucker up for! And even fewer that I would even THINK about doing any private showings for, thank you very much!! As I continue to tell these guys, I prefer my encounters up close and personal! It loses something in the translation, something important, to me at any rate! Get over it! Please!

Wasn't sure where to put this exactly! It is kind of a rant, I guess. We'll see! Not exactly a meltdown either, lol! My crying for the day is over!! Dear grandson Tim, who you will recall got into a little trouble regarding being in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong stuff in his pocket, is on his blessed way to the Juvenile Detention Center in beautiful downtown LaCrosse, accompanied by two large members of Monroe County Sheriffs Department!! Yes, he had been subpoenaed to testify against the fellow whose house was raided. Seems good old Tim tried to say he lied about where he got the goods and quickly got himself into more hot water! To make this short, my tough guy refused to tell the judge, under oath mind you, who he got the goods from. Absolutely, resolutely refused to tell! Can we say "Contempt of Court"?????? He will now sit in JDC until Monday when court reconvenes. He says he will now tell the judge who he got the "herb" from - we'll see! The judge was pretty pissy over Tim making a stand and acting the tough guy. Wasn't too tough when I started crying - he proceeded to cry, too! I remember what a tough little shit he was at about age 3. He drove me nuts!! I was stuck with having to call his mother, who proceeded to cry over the phone! She can at least visit him this afternoon during visiting hours. Big brother Damian is fit to be tied - he's working at the moment. Called the high school to let them know Tim will be missing for a day or two or more, depending on what he tells the judge on Monday! Lucky my hair is already gray!! I couldn't listen to him giving his testimony!! It was just too much like having to listen to his Mom give testimony when she was 11. I won't even tell you about that mess, except to say it involved a 19 year old guy and she got that a**hole off the hook!! I was livid!! Enough of this stuff!! It is cold but beautiful in Western Wisconsin today! Will get colder, or so I am told! At least I can lose myself for awhile at CT!! I feel like running away from home again - I hate that feeling. Hope everyone is having a wonderful day! Much love and warm hugs to all. Blessings for one and all!

I'll tell you now: most of my rants will be about my evil nemesis, the computer! This kind of technology is not my area of expertise. Any problem becomes HUGE to me. OK! I'm not always the most logical person. I'm an empath and an intuitive! Yes, I'm a medical-type person; and your point is? I still interpret energy flow and feelings, first and foremost. Any feelings with this computer, other than the anger and frustration it generates in me?! The problem today is: too many media players on profiles!! I can't even get into some profiles because my computer vapor locks and I see a Media Player:Error displayed. Now, what! I know blessed little about computers - I'm a relative newbie - so what do I do! I need to get into this person's profile, they want to be a member of my Family, can't do it without getting into their profile! I could just blow this individual off, but I don't do that sort of thing. That's not me. Only the truly obnoxious will get that response from me! Talked to my favorite computer nerd, who informs me, yep, too much media for my computer. Great!! It has been suggested to me that I upload the update for my Media Player. No problem, I will do it ......later, please! To make a long story longer, my new Family member and I are PMing back and forth. No prob! I love all the bells and whistles on the profiles, makes it a great adventure to check out other profiles. But this is making my gray hair grayer by the minute! Please think before you load 1000 videos on your profile. I'd love it, but my computer has a stroke! I think I'm done!!
