A few weeks ago, I tried to have a photo approved. It was me and my 18 month old granddaughter. The photo was rejected... twice because it didn't comply with the rules. I was allowed to post it on a 2nd album, but not the primary album. Why so strict was my thought.
For more than two months someone blogging their 'manly skills' had a blog with profanity, nude photos of himself and solicited their service (including sexual pleasures) despite some complaints from the others who blog here. How strange... why was this offensive blog here for so long?
I scanned the 'terms of use' and believe this persons blog was clearly in violation.. Again, why did it remain online for such a long time?
I'm listed on a few dating sites and they each have their own rules. Maybe, it's something I missed.

我是肥胖，丑陋，穷，白色的头发
我的牙齿是腐烂的。 我失业。
我无家可归，我依赖政府帮助。
计算机吗？ 我在图书馆借计算机。
我是一位美国公民。
我在这里正寻找一位中国妻子。
她一定美丽。 活泼。
你想要与我结婚吗？
请送一条消息。
我等待你的答复！
谢谢你。

I don't like to blog politics, but this is too important to miss.
It appears in a clean sweep 'never been done before' in the history of America, Republican candidate, Mitt Romney has taken 100% of every poll taken today. Due to this accomplishment, he will be sworn in as 45th President of the United States of America on Monday morning in a ceremony beginning 7am, well in advance of the upcoming November election and the swearing in ceremony in January. Why waste taxpayers money holding an election?
Current President Barack Obama, his wife Michelle and their & pets have been notified by Secret Service to pack their bags as 'checkout' time is 11am.
Congratulations Mitt on an unprecedented job... we knew you could do it!
In the mean time, Barack has been on the phone to a few friends locating a place for him to say. Some inside sources reveal they have found an abandoned factory once owned by Bain that will serve as a "shack-up" until he can arrange some public housing on the outskirts of Chicago.

JENNY... eight six seven five three-o-nine

Jenny, refers to the 1982 hit song from the San Francisco, California, rock band Tommy Tutone
"Jenny", peaked at #4 on the Billboard pop charts. 867-5309 became so popular that people in the United States (to this day) dial this telephone number and ask for "Jenny" as a prank.
Triva: A common misconception is that Tommy Tutone is the name of the lead singer; it is the name of the band. The lead singer's name is Tommy Heath. The name of the band developed from the original name "Tommy and the Tu-tones" to merely Tommy Tutone.
LYRICS
867-5309/Jenny - Tommy Tutone
Jenny Jenny who can I turn to
You give me something I can hold on to
I know you'll think I'm like the others before
Who saw your name and number on the wall
Jenny I've got your number
I need to make you mine
Jenny don't change your number
Eight six seven five three oh nine
Eight six seven five three oh nine
Eight six seven five three oh nine
Eight six seven five three oh nine
Jenny Jenny you're the girl for me
You don't know me but you make me so happy
I tried to call you before but I lost my nerve
I tried my imagination but I was disturbed
Jenny I've got your number
I need to make you mine
Jenny don't change your number
Eight six seven five three oh nine
Eight six seven five three oh nine
Eight six seven five three oh nine
Eight six seven five three oh nine
I got it (I got it) I got it
I got your number on the wall
I got it (I got it) I got it
For a good time, for a good time call
Jenny I've got your number
I need to make you mine
Jenny I've called your number
Eight six seven five three oh nine
Eight six seven five three oh nine
Eight six seven five three oh nine
Eight six seven five three oh nine
Jenny Jenny who can I turn to
(Eight six seven five three oh nine)
For the price of a dime I can always turn to you
(Eight six seven five three oh nine)
Eight six seven five three oh nine
Eight six seven five three oh nine
five three oh nine...
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

It must be my imagination... about two weeks ago, member profile photos were replaced with pink silhouettes with a question mark. You had to buy a gold or silver membership to see the photo. We standard members were blocked to read messages too.
I guess it had such an enormous negative impact on the website that the original format had returned.
Tonight, when I logged on, I checked to see who was looking at my profile only to find... the member names are missing!!
I checked it twice and pinched my arm just to see if I was dreaming.
I LOVE this place... new surprises weekly.
Let's see how this one plays out!

Typing in all Capitals - WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING??

Please be informed that typing in all caps is the equivalent to shouting.
It's great to use capital letters to STRESS A POINT.
After that, YOU CANNOT EMPHASIZE SOMETHING IF YOU ARE ALREADY SHOUTING...
SO WHAT'S NEXT?
SHOUTING IN BOLD LETTERS ?
 Some people need to exercise better internet etiquette...

Late night at the office again. I finished drawings for my kitchen installers as planned. Last minute as they say. They need this for the morning.
Looking at the calendar I realized it's 10-11-12 and we won't see this date again.
It will be midnight when I get home. 1am when I get to bed and 6am when I get up Friday... 5 hours sleep you say?
Yes, it was 3 hours sleep last night.
Weekend work planned... not much choice.

Summer or Winter?

A man comes home and tells his girlfriend that he just won the lottery.
She starts jumping up and down with excitement and soon the two of them are jumping up and down shouting "lottery, lottery, lottery, lottery...!"
He tells her "hurry up honey, pack your bags, you're goin' on a trip..."
Still chanting lottery, lottery, lottery, she runs into the bedroom, opens the closet door and starts throwing clothes on the bed. Suddenly she stops, runs back to the living room where her boyfriend has just opened a beer.. and she says "Do I pack for Winter or Summer?"
Without the slightest bit of hesitation he replies "What do I care? Just as long as you and your belongings are gone before nightfall"
(yes, this is a joke)

Blocking my BETAs...
|

High blood pressure (hypertension) is a silent killer... so they say. Sometimes, it's symptoms are undetected. You could feel great and have hypertension. I know. Some days my pressure is very high and I have no idea until I check it.
BETA blockers are a type of hypertension medicine. Oh... you have hypertension? There are many factors that can cause high blood pressure. Heredity, lifestyle, diet, exercise, weight all have an effect on a persons blood pressure.
From experience, doctors will tell you the contributing factors, then prescribe medicine to lower blood pressure. Sometimes... more than one medicine is required.
There are a whole range of hypertension medicines available and... they don't all work the same. I know of 2 different families of hypertension medicines. BETA blockers and Calcium Channel Blockers. Sometimes lower doses of two different families is better than a large dose of one.
Supplemental medicines are often required to help with hypertension medicines. For example, some can regulate heart rate allowing the heart to slow down, some increase urination and that helps rid the body of sodium... Water retainage is also a factor in blood pressure.
On the weekends, especially If I'm working in the yard, I'll cut back on blood pressure medicine as the exercise and reduced stress lowers my pressure without medicine. That said... if I were a fitness instructor, I'd probably do away with hypertension medicine entirely.
Something to consider.
Thanks for reading my blog.

Gimmicks: turning normal product into bigger profit...

Palmolive concentrated dish washing liquid (soap) has been on the market since I was a . Maybe you remember Madge, the manicurist who offered advice to her customers to soften their hands from roughness doing dishes.
"Mild? you're soaking in it" and the customer would (fearfully) pull her hand from the soaking dish while Madge tapped their hand offering assurance the product was good. What a marketing psychology!
Oh... the millions of women who fell for that tactic.
OK, a bottle of Palmolive is around $3 - $4 nowadays depending on the size, store or promotion going on because some offer 25% more product free. That's what it cost, that's what it sells for. You make lots of product, sell it for a price and the story ends.
Dial soap has a product with a foaming pump dispenser 7.5 ounce bottle for about the same price as a big bottle of Palmolive. A friend of mine tried it. When the Dial soap ran out, I filled it with Palmolive. But... it didn't work at first. Palmolive is concentrated. Dial foaming soap isn't. Ohhh.... this is not new to me. The kitchen soap pumps cannot work with concentrated liquid soap. You have to dilute the soap for them to work properly.
I've got this worked down to a science now... You only need 1 ounce of Palmolive soap and 6.5 ounces of tap water to fill the dial pump bottle and achieve the same kind of foaming soap. That's costing me roughly 20 cents per refill and 2 minutes of my time. I've got plenty of pump bottles now as my friend doesn't want to be bothered refilling pump bottles of soap. I have one in the lavatory and one in each vanity at work. The company I'm working for bought concentrated antibacterial hand soap that has a strong chemical scent. I dislike it and supply my own. My coworkers seem to like my soap more than what's supplied by management.
I've been doing this for 2 or 3 years now... is it worth it? Of course it is.
The thought goes through my head that Dial has a really good money making gimmick. I'm sure you have to factor in the cost of the pump bottle. Home Depot sells 20 ounce spray bottles for $1 so the cost cannot be so great that it's not money making.
I feel so guilty for exposing this scheme...
