Pinterest

Pinterest is a social media outlet site that allows its users to "pin" photos and other such media to their board or pinboard if you will. Subjects there can run the gamut of just about anything from birthdays to weddings to just life itself.
The site can also be used to express business ideas or your businesses themselves, for example, triangle direct.
Triangle Direct is a marketing company, a company I use frequently and trust completely. They have been in business since 2006 and serve mostly small to enterprie beginning businesses through a variety of services like helping businesses get a better search rating and getting bloggers like myself to talk about these businesses.
Pinterest can be better than Facebook or Twitter in the sense that most of the things you see there are in photo form. Photos are a much nicer form of getting someones attention in a short time than words will ever be.
Go and check out the Pinterest site and see if perhaps they can help you share your business ideas. Or they may simply allow you to share your photos and imagination and ideas to the whole world.

Boring

As much as I love the game site and my job there as Site Admin along with my co-Admin there is just something boring about watching the chat lobby when it doesn't move.
Last night the site went down several times. It had had several "hiccups" over the past 24 hours so it wasn't that big of a shock. A hiccup is when the lobby or the games freeze and, five minutes or less later, the server catches up with itself and all is well again.
Last night it hiccupped and then a short while later it stopped again. We waited for five minutes or so and no site. I had to call the Support person and wake her up a task I dread.
After a while the tech guys were in there working away and they got it running again but a short while later it crashed again so the tech guys had to reboot all the servers again. Ugh, another call to wake up the Support person. Poor woman, hard to get a good nights rest that way.
I will be happy as can be the day the owner gets some new servers and things stay up 24/7. In the meantime i enjoy myself there and just get bored when I must look at a screen of non-moving chat.

Vicerex

Many years ago I was having some difficulties in my love life and went to see a doctor about it. She advised me to try some testosterone builders for a few weeks to see if they would help me somehow. I did try them but unfortunately they did not solve the problem. I had enough testosterone in my system but i did have some nerve damage somewhere that hormones could not help.
Back in those days men rarely ever discussed any sexual problems with anyone including their doctors. these days men's problems are all over the place from internet ads to television commercials. And I have to say that it is a good thing. No one should be that embarrassed with any medical problems that they don't wish to talk about it to a doctor.
One of the many products on the market these days for men is vicerex. Vicerex is a testosterone boosting sexual enhancement product that can help many males have a better sex life.
If you are thinking that your love life could use a boost then you should check out Vicerex and see if it is for you. Then, please, take the information and discuss it with your doctor. No need to be ashamed of it! Your doctor can advise you as to what it is, how it works and what, if any, precautions you need to take because every body is different.
Get some boost to your love life, give Vicerex a try.

Way Out

This post has been deleted. I was blowing off steam and nothing more. I feel much better now and do not want to risk anyone seeing the rantings that shouldn't see it :)

Side Effects

I have often written in this blog about dieting, diet pills and other weight loss topics. People are overweight in enormous numbers these days and losing weight is a popular subject both online and off.
But, what if you worry about such things as side effects? Are the diet pills you take good for you or not? How about the side effects of calorie burner 643?
Calorie burner 643 is a popular weight loss pill that contains three ingredients, one of which is caffeine. Caffeine for some people is not good, it can give them the jitters or cause them to lose sleep.
Other than the caffeine side effects the pills do not seem to have any major drawbacks or side effects connected to them. Customers say that the pills work and they work well.
Calorie Burner 643 claims that these three ingredients in their formula will actually have you eating 365 fewer calories everyday while burning 278 more calories every day too! We all know that the best way to lose weight is to consume less and burn more so these pills offer you a great way to start to shed some of those unwanted pounds.
Like any pills though before you buy them and use them you should always consult your doctor. He can tell you for certain if these pills will help you lose weight or cause you anything you do not wish to have like sleepless nights.

Sleeping In

The site went down briefly this morning while I was sound asleep. My lovely wife was beside me, sleeping in for a change. Her cell phone, normally in the bedroom charging was in the kitchen. When people tried to call us to let us know that the site was down, neither of us heard the cell phone go off. Oops!
Fortunately they were able to find a Support person who called a Tech person and site was restored to normal within a short time.
Amazing timing there lol I was sound asleep and my co-admin was out fishing and had no cell service. Oops.

Scam

Anyone that has read this blog more than a few times knows that I do a lot of PTC sites every day. Making my fortune one penny at a time lol Can't grumble about them too much, they are time consuming it's true but they are profitable in the long run.
Unfortunately one of the sites I do is no longer a viable option for me. It's a site called two dollar clicks and it pays, according to them, two dollars for every 30 second ad that you watch or read. Sounds good, yes? Too good to be true.
I have been using the site quite some time now and had made the minimum cash out requirement of one thousand dollars and I requested said payout.
I now am on the second go around and have "earned" another 840 dollars but still no payout from the first thousand. Not good.
So, looks like I can scratch that place off my daily list. If you see an ad for this site I strongly suggest you laugh at it and move on. Do not sign up for it unless you simply enjoy wasting your time as you will not get paid :(

Competition

My wife and I play the same games online. She likes it when she is better at them than I am although she often has said in the past "Not that we are competing or anything". This makes her happy as can be and it really doesn't bug me that much.
These days we are playing a game on Facebook called Castleville and although she has been playing it much longer than I have she is complaining a little that I am ahead of her. I just laugh and say "Not that we're competing or anything".
She has played the game a lot longer than I have and is way ahead of me in some parts and I am way ahead of her in some parts so i think of it as we are somewhat even. She does not think that way at all *chuckle*
Today she even told me, sweetly, that the best thing I could do at this point in time is to take a couple of days off from the game! Oh, my! I do believe she wants to win!

Spinal Surgery

I suffer from some serious back pain. Not just occasionally but every single day of my life. Some days no matter how I sit or lay or move there is just no escape. Often I have considered spinal surgery as some sort of solution although I am not positive that it could help all of the things wrong with my back it would be a blessing if it took away any of the pains.
If you are like me, or like many other people, aches and pains are the norm rather than the exception. If you have back pains because of your work then you know that you need to solve those pains so that you can continue to work and provide for yourself and your family.
If you, or someone you know, suffers from back pains then you owe it to yourselves to check out this website and see what minimally invasive surgery can do to alleviate your problems.

Bully!

This is what a player called me today. Not just once, but twice!
The player sent in a ticket to Support claiming that I am nothing more than a bully to him because he beat me. I should not represent the site because I am this terrible bully and I made his rank go way down.
He also went to my profile page and left me a comment saying essentially the same thing. it is my fault that his rank went down.
I wish I had control over the players ranks as my own rank stinks. If I could change the ranks, surely I would improve my own lol
I get quite a chuckle out of the players at times, more so when they give me more credit than I am due.

Buying Time

As I said in an earlier blog post, Winter is out and Spring is in. Warm weather is here to stay for a few months so there is no need to worry that much about being cold in bed. But, this is the best time of the year to think about electric blankets.
Why, you ask? If the weather is getting warmer why think about an electric blanket? Because now is the time to buy them, while they have gone down in price. Just the same as the Winter is a great time to buy summer fans and things, Spring is a great time to buy something that you will need next winter like a nice electric blanket that will keep you warm and cozy on those blistery cold Winter nights.
Don't be left out in the cold next Winter, go and check out all the great blankets that are on sale right now!

Simple As Pie

One of the Mods came to me with a problem. A friend could not log into the game area because the software said he was already there and he cannot log in from two different places at one time.
I let him turn in a Support ticket because he needs the practice more than anything else.
His friend unplugged everything, the computer and his modem and waited a few minutes. then he came back online and logged in without any problem at all.
Usually this occurs because one has been logged in on a laptop then decide to switch to a desktop PC or vice-versa. This confuses the software I guess but it isn't that big a problem.
It just made me laugh :)

It Is Spring

Spring finally has arrived here in the California desert. Weather is much nicer, although windy now as usual. Today got very warm sitting here in my kitchen by the window. I am happy to see it arrive.
The problem with Spring is that my wife suffers some serious allergies and the winds blowing the pollens around will not help her at all, poor woman.
Only bad part of Spring for me is that it gets very warm sitting here then it cools off really quickly. I don't know whether to take my shirt off or leave it on lol
No complaints from me though, Winter has never been a friend of mine. Never! Glad it is gone for another year.

Laminate

You ever notice how often when you look at pictures of fancy homes just how many have wooden floors? Then you wonder how hard it is to keep those floors in good shape? You wouldn't mind having wood floors either but, you know, you have children, pets, your house is lived in, it isn't a showcase home. No problem!
With a laminate floor you too can have that fancy home floor and still keep the kids, the pets, the spouse. And these laminated floors are much easier to keep up than the traditional wooden floors but they look just as beautiful.
Tell me, is this real wood or laminate?



Looks like wood, doesn't it? But it is a laminated floor! And, as you can see, the child can play on it.
Make your house look like you won the lottery, get yourself a laminated floor for your home.

Addictive

I know i should be doing other tasks, like updating this blog more often, but i find myself unable to tear myself away from the addiction of Castleville.
Castleville is a Facebook game. You build your own kingdom and explore regions that surround where you started.
In order to accomplish this kingdom building you have to do a variety of quests for various characters, some that are always in your kingdom, some that come and go. Doing these quests is fun, often challenging, but very time consuming.
Castleville reminds me of potato chips, you cannot just eat one potato chip and you cannot just do one quest.
The only blessing is that Castleville is not as addictive as the games that "gamers" play. I still do manage to go to bed and go to sleep at night.

Looking For Work

Emergency

My Co-Admin posted the other day in the Mods only chat that we were going to have an emergency meeting next Sunday afternoon/evening. Since then two of the Mods have come to me in private asking if they are in trouble. Too funny.
We do need a Mod meeting to get some things straightened out. Mostly the issue of respect.
Since the two of us took over for the retired Admin some of the Mods have not paid us our just dues and that has to stop. We are in charge, not them. The players need to get that message as well, too often they send private messages to a Mod that should be directed to the Admins. The sad part there is that the Mod getting the message isn't forwarding it to us, they are trying to take care of the problem themselves which is not their job.
Hard to be an Admin without the respect that the job requires.

Disaster

The longer I live the more people seem determined to be forever tied to electronic devices like their computers. I for one seem lost when mine doesn't work properly.
But sometimes I think we carry these love affairs too far. We live in a computerized fairy tale where nothing bad will ever happen and, when something bad does occur, we are lost and confused.
A few days ago the game servers crashed and they crashed in a major disaster. All of the data for the month of February was completely wiped out. The tech crew worked several days trying every trick in the book but to no avail. Nothing they could do to bring things back.
Why is this a major disaster? All of the players that joined the site in February were wiped out, as if they had never joined.
All of the freeDs that were won by players were wiped back to January 31. Some of those players had won an enormous amount of freeDs and, as can be imagined, were not happy campers at all.
The back up system was in place, as was a back up system for the back up system. No one could conceive of a situation where both of these back up systems would fail at the exact same time.
Yes, we believe that nothing bad will ever happen to our computer systems. Imagine if this had happened at your ban and not a game site!
