I don’t want to spend money to find work and that is the only thing I find. I want to work from home so I have time for my other interests. Read the rest of this entry →
Anyone on here getting ripped for the $99 per month fee to work on twitter The Better Business Bureau said such blogs tend to be phony, featuring photos of checks that have been used “countless times” on similar suspect sites and adoring testimonials in closed comment sections.
I am interested in creating a political website, where I can express my views and create a forum where others can comment and a dialogue can take place. I want it to be more than just a regular blog. I know about google ad sense, which helps you sell space on your site for advertising. Does anyone have any information not only on how to get started, but also good ways to promote the site itself. Thank you Read the rest of this entry →
Secrets that appear and are justified as privacy boundaries. My marriage will turn 15 years old in March and I have always (even during rough periods) considered it solid. But it’s changing and not for the better I’m afraid. I’m not sure what to expect from this posting, I’ve read others expressing similar issues and found the person reaching out was attacked as often as supported. So please, unless you have been in an unfaithful relationship or think you are now, please keep your inexperienced opinions to yourself. Three months ago I introduce Facebook to our home, it was part of a marketing assignment at work and once on, I saw how much fun catching up could be. My wife set up her page and quickly she began receiving requests. Finding old friends, chatting, Mafia Wars, and such became a part of our life at home. We each sat at a computer (back to back) in our living room each evening and gave each other snippets of our individual conversations. If you have played these online games you know how time consuming and additive they can become. Often my wife would ask me to check up on her game for her if I was to come home for lunch and I would. One morning after getting the kids ready for school and making breakfast, I saw my wife running late. I knew that she would want to peek in on thing (her games) before leaving for the day so I sat down to open it for her. I couldn’t get in. When I expressed my confusion and ask if something had happened to the account, she said had changed the password. By the end of the day she had routed her email from Facebook to her private work account. That night (about 3am) she deleted the “deleted” files in our email account and emptied the recycle bin. I work in computer science; I do the system maintenance, at work and at home. This was an attempt to hide something. My wife & I share a common history of previous cheating spouses. That’s the reason that we “lived together” for five years prior to our marriage. So in these twenty years together, I had never encountered this wall. I’m not some control freak; my wife has her master’s degree and has always worked for big name companies, she has her on cell phone (two of them in fact), her on bank accounts, and her own friends (mostly male). When I sat down to talk to my wife about my concerns (that’s putting it mildly, I’m in panic mode and having flashbacks to my first marriage), but in the quiet setting of our bedroom away from the children I attempted to express my feelings about this. Well the conversation didn’t go as well as I would have liked. My wife is what I call emotionally lateral; she can associate feeling in one situation with experiences in the past and tends to blend them or draw conclusions based on that connection. After a discussion full of “red herrings”, the basis questions I ask, “what did I do & why did you do this?” remained unanswered. I’m ashamed to admit what I did next, but I wasn’t going to sit by and have secrets and deception destroy our life together. I suddenly didn’t trust her. She was still holding back and very defensive. She held to her decision of locking me out of that new part of her life. So, (don’t tell Google) I doctored her facebook account. In fact, I changed her password, stopping her from continuing whatever she was up to. Given that she is not that good at remembering passwords and her work’s email system would filter correspondence from facebook, I was pretty sure I was safely in control of the account. There it was. In her in box messages form old friends (high school), many talking about how attractive she still was. She teased, but never openly invited any escalation of a relationship. One recalled a missed opportunity he had with her and she responded that he should have acted on it. Of course this is after I read how his wife had passed away. Another male friend was now a truck driver and was going to be in the area. They exchanged phone numbers and he wanted her to meet him at a truck stop. While facebook saves the emails, the chat conversations vanish like vapor. I would have to do some serious dissecting to find those in the temp files. It would have taken days so I didn’t bother. I went online to take a peek at her cell phone usage (again, I’m not proud of these things, but I was batting 500), sure enough calls to this guy and others. I could see from the timestamps of the cell phone and those of the inbox that she didn’t meet up with this guy, instead called him when he came to town. I at least felt better about that. Lot’s of fringe behavior, but no smoking gun. Was this enough to feel she needed all that privacy? No, we’ve had years together and guys from time to time seek her favors. What caused her to withdrawal this time? I watched the account for the next few days to see if these guys or any others might “come knocking”. Nothing. I was starting to feel like I had overacted. After a few days of not having access, of course she didn’t tell me she couldn’t get in, she a Read the rest of this entry →
