Already? It’s just 6am yet Jesse’s already out on the ATV? I hope he doesn’t come down and wake Tom up like he almost did yesterday since he’s obviously never going to get “please call first” and stop popping in on us at random.

He brought down the weedeater yesterday right as he was getting up and he spent 5 hours weeding the entire clearing down here on up the driveway to where it forks. Today he’ll be picking up the saw and seeing if Jesse wants it. If not we’ll list it on Craigslist. I didn’t realize the damn thing weighed 65 pounds!

Yesterday when I was out there I killed a HUGE beetle. If it weren’t for its oblong shape and its 6 legs I’d have thought it was a tarantula. It was huge, jet black and totally creepy looking. The spray took forever just to slow it down. We’ve also got centipedes in the house again which are also huge and creepy. It’s that time of year when we usually bomb, but can God’s little poor-ass bums He just loves so much afford bombs right now? I’m not sure about that one.

Our internet connection is so bad I can’t stay online more than a few minutes at a time and just trying to get this journal entry posted is going to be a real challenge. It may take several tries. I’m not going to be able to renew my sweeps subscription as long as our provider continues to refuse to help us, and God knows how we’ll work MT. I’m not even sure I want to keep journaling online, but due to the shitty connection, I probably won’t post as often. Maybe I’ll make weekly updates instead.

So now I’m being ignored by Irene? I never heard back from her so that’s why I’m wondering if maybe she and Nane had a little discussion about me. Oh well, whatever. I just wonder why I’m still on her friend list if she doesn’t want to speak to me.

Later…

Just minutes after posting my last entry this morning, my blog was disabled. I received an email saying there’d been a security breach using my credentials and to reply to the email if I wanted the blog back and they would give me instructions on how to go about it, though I don’t see why they didn’t just reset PWs.

But then when I went to log in it said I was a “removed user” and that I’d violated the TOS – WTF??? Maybe this is a standard message that appears to everyone who’s been shut down for whatever reason.

I replied to the email and contacted them on-site as well but have yet to hear back from them. I have a feeling I’m not going to either, and again I wonder if past enemies have anything to do with it. Tom and Mitch suggested it could be my book link since so many links contain viruses, but that was a long time ago that I posted that. If it wasn’t hacked and I really did violate the TOS, why not just tell me to remove a link they had a problem with and just consider it a warning?

While it’s no biggie it does kind of make me feel like a kid again if it’s true that they banned me. I may never know, though, what really happened. I do know that quite a few others have either been banned or found they too, were one day unable to log into their MyOpera accounts.

I also got a message about some site being hacked where I entered some sweeps. What is it with all these security breaches lately? I no longer use the PW I used on the hacked site and don’t care if any old accounts with that PW get hacked because I have no sensitive info on them and don’t use them anymore anyway.

Back to my blog; well, if there’s anything funny about it it’s the thought of the troll logging in to find it gone, LOL. HitsLink is still tracking anyone who tries to access that page, too. She doesn’t view it dozens of times like she used to. She’s in twice about 3-4 days a week. Kim was laughing over the thought of it too, though now she’s going to hound her and Alison for my whereabouts. She’ll find it eventually, though. She always does. I don’t know if she has the link to my old journal but at least there I won’t have to know it if she’s sticking her nose into it at all.

The first thing I did was direct my followers and the people I’m closest to to my old journal. I did it in private so the troll can have fun wondering about me at least for a while if she doesn’t know where that journal is at. If I decide to blog elsewhere or in additional places, I’ll leave links on that site and maybe let people decide for themselves where to follow me if I decide to write in multiple places.

Later…

For now, the only place I’m going to blog will be my-diary until I decide what to do.

My parents not only sent an anniversary card but enclosed 50 bucks as well! How generous! This will really help, too.

Jesse, who was bulldozing the firebreak up at his place, and who now has the rest of the month’s rent we owed him, said he’d look at the saw later or tomorrow. Probably tomorrow. I guess he wants to talk to someone first and find out more about it before he decides if he wants it. If not it will go on Craigslist.
