everyone has been either screaming about or laughing about the blog posting NSFW pics normally sold for bling including myself.
Today I decided to poke around and wondered why they were not using the sites rules of TOS to get the posts deleted as that particular forum had obviously broken the rules of TOS by giving links to profiles. I even went so far as to get it posted in JDs blog (I feel dirty) so they could try that route. Then I suddenly realized I was an idiot and the REAL problem was right before my eyes and I missed it.
this is the TOS from that site
3) No posting of personal information: This includes last names (initial only), phone numbers, addresses, etc. This also includes social networking links. First name/last initial is fine. Also, do not post or ask for age, school, or grade.
8) No trading: This includes exchange of IM/email information to do so. You either share on the board or you don't. Additionally, no selective sharing: either post on the board or don't.
When uploading images, please make sure your filenames don't contain last names.
do not post age ???? grade ???? school ?????
while everyone was screaming or laughing about what grown adults choose to do and should have known what could happen we all missed this site cleary invites and welcomes under age postings as long as the poster does not identify it as such
Time to stop giving a shit about grown women making a choice in taking and posting pics and not liking the out come and give a shit about that !
report report report people
this is an example of one of the girls they are posting on other pages of this site ( I wont post any of the other ones they have )

A sampling of my day
Customer: is that your black car there ?
Me: no it is not
Customer: we drove by and saw a place to park up front turned around in the grocery store parking lot and when we came back that black car was parked there ... they took our spot I think that is rude my husband does not walk so good.
Me: blank stare
***********
Customer: it has been so long since I have been here ...EVERYTHING has changed
Me: no things are the same I have not changed anything recently
Customer : oh no no no EVERYTHING has changed it is under new ownership
Me: uhmmm I am the owner and I am not new
Customer: no it is new owners
Me: blank stare
****************
Customer: how much is the Medium Gouda
Me: we have it on a good special right now ... 2.29 100 grams
Customer : If I buy a half wheel I get 10 % off still ?
Me: Normally yes but not when it is on special .... you save $10.00 a kilo with this special it is a great price
Customer : but I always get 10% off if I buy half a wheel
Me: if cheese is at the regular price yes you do but not when it is on special
Customer : but I want my 10%
Me: *picks up half a wheel of cheese* this piece is regularly $79.00 with 10% off you would pay $71.00 with the special price it will be $55.00 ... if you got 10% off you would be paying more.
Customer: I always get 10% off when I buy half a wheel ...did you stop that ??
Me: *gritting my teeth* no I still do 10% off regular priced cheese if you buy half a wheel I can do that for you but then you dont get the special price and will pay more
Customer: I want my 10%
yes ... yes I did sell it to her for the $71.00 .. and I damn well enjoyed every minute of ringing it in and I thank her for the bottle of wine I am going to pick up on my way home

I love me Mudder beyond words... but sometimes I could cheerfully give her a smack. She has this thing that nothing is good enough unless I am there. She drives my Sisters fucking insane blathering on about me and trying to force them to treat me like I am gods special gift that needs extra attention. My Sister was in town and when I saw her for the first time I felt a definite chill. When I was leaving she walked me out and I asked her what was up. She said I am sorry I was just so sick to death of hearing about you I was tired of your face before I saw it.
Mom had a FABULOUS 10 days with her. I saw them 5 times in those 10 days. Last week my phone went down for a few hours and I got 4 text messages from Bettty telling me to call Mom before she had heart failure and she had to hear one more fucking time of how worried Mom was bc I did not answer my phone. IT DRIVES ME NUTS !
Betty left on Wed ...Thursday I phoned Mom and asked how how her day was. I get in a small depressed voice this conversation
Mudder: "ohhhhh you know ... its soo sooo sooooo quiet"
Me: well is that not nice after a super busy 10 days ?
Mudder: well.... I have not talked to anyone all day and I have nothing going on coming up its very quiet and lonely
Me: (gritting my teeth bc I know she is working on having me drop everything and running over) Mom you have a whole community with in 4 min walking distance phone Missus Bischop or Ellen for coffee
Mudder: Ya maybe I will do that
Me: (changing the topic) it was a glorious sunny day today did you go for a walk?
Mudder: well no Corrie came for coffee in the morning then I did some housework
me: WHAT ????? you just said you have not talked to anyone ALL day
Mudder: ya well it was a VERY short visit
me: (gritting teeth harder) well I will see what is happening Friday I might have to do the night close but if not I will pick you up for dinner
Mudder: oh ... that would be nice but I am going to spend the night as Missus Kienickers and Sat does not work Tracy and Raymond are coming over with the boys to take me out for dinner
Me : MOTHER !!! you just said you had NOTHING going on for days now I find out you are having a sleep over and being taken out my your grandkids
Mudder: well ... ya ..... but it is still awful quiet here
this crap is never going to stop she will continue to do this ... do I pretend I dont notice and carry on or give her hell when she does it
ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I made a new friend today!!
Was helping a customer today with three little kids. The first one I noticed she was holding a tiny little girl with huge hair and bigger eyes. I chuckled and said something to her in baby talk and she slowly smiled at me. Her Mom ( I at first did not get it ) made a HUGE deal about her smiling. Just as I was thinking ok ok lady your kid smiled big whoop I hear a little voice from other side of the counter say " thats my baby sister" I leaned over the counter and looked down and there was this little elfine mischevious face belonging to a tiny little boy with the most WONDERFUL slow smile I have ever seen and he had a mohawk ( my ice cold heart melted on the spot ). He was also sporting a hell of a blackened eye. I made a big OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO face and said
"what happened did your big sister beat you up ????"
He giggled and shook his head no
"ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh I know your baby sister beat you up"
he giggled louder and said nooooooooooooooo
his Mom said well what happened ?? he grinned up at me and told me he poked his eye
WELL ... that was not very very smart
fits of giggles all over
I ended up talking to Mom for a bit turns out he did poke his own eye and do that to himself ... on purpose. Her three children are adopted and all born drug addicted. He was damaged by this so much he has nerve damage to the point he feels no pain nothing ever has no concept of what it means to hurt himself no warning system nothing to go off to stop him or teach him. This little guy will run into a wall and not think oh shit I am never doing THAT again because he feels nothing. He has shattered collar bones had full blown infections jumped of high things and jabs himself in the eye repeatedly when frustrated because he does not feel pain and does not get what stop it you are going to hurt yourself means. He does not touch a hot stove and learn to never do it again. The baby has nerve damage as well though how bad they are not sure of yet and she hardly ever reacts to simple interaction as of yet (thus the big deal that she smiled) The older little girl has coke bottom type glasses and will need heart surgery in the new year.
These three kids were amazing and though they were given a crap start and chance in life thanks to 2 people who wanted to be Mom and Dad are given a chance and all the hope in the world that life wont turn out the way it started
Just wanted to share my moment
Viber app
it always free long distance calls and texts from smart phone to smart phone.... thought some of you long distant friends might like it
its pretty cool
waits for PF to get cited
A Christian school society dropped off a flyer attempting to get local businesses in the area to sponsor their charity golf event. Not really something that is blog worthy you might think.... do not worry fellow fubarians it is .. it really really is
The flyer reads as follows
HAVE YOUR OWN HOLE !
Hole sponsorships are available for $200.00 you can buy your own hole for the day. We will be happy to have a sign made up with your name on it so everyone in the event will know whos hole they are playing!
OR YOU CAN HAVE A FOURSOME!!
You can also sponsor the event by having a foursome! What a great oppurtunity to play with others !
I shit you not
so should I buy my own hole or tell them my hole is really not worth $200.00 as it has been over played already

Just Dream...: No but I hear yours is plastered all over the internet as skanky
To Just Dream...: could you people at least put effort into insulting people and at least use something solid rather than making up some bullshit that has no basis ...gosh at least I use pic evidence for my horrible behaviour

To Just Dream...: LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoo ya thats my biggest goal in life your funny
