Concern

I just want to send my sympathy to all of you people that from what I've been reading are suffering from some extreme temperatures and snowstorms, that apparently are not quite usual.

Hope you may not suffer too much due to such freakish weather.

A white Christmas is nice but "whiteout" for Christmas is not. So big s and for all of you my friends

Happy Holidays!!

festivities

POP-UP Ads from dA !!!

Is it necessary to rub the selling prices and all the other fabulous goods we can buy?

Is anybody going to buy anything if you just don't have the necessary amount to spend no matter how much they rebate the prices.?

I hate those pop-ups, they are just like those Porno sticky sh*t sometimes you get when going to some unsafe site. Used to happen at my office, some guys would use my PC to "browse around" until I told them to stop that sh*t and use their own PCs

As if the above were not enough, after almost 5 hours working and putting together information in the Journal the bloody Maintenance System set in and had to delete the Journal, fortunately knowing the kind of sh*t that dA shoves now and then I had saved most of what I'd done.

Other Contests and Features

I am using a Special Edition # of my Journal to feature the winners of contests I offer as prizes.

Please excuse

I don't like to bother my friends with so many updates, but there are two things I wanted to draw your attention to -for those who read my journals that is .

One is that I am again swamped with messages and deviations, I am barely managing to cope with the favs and messages, but have too many Journals to look at and that will just be impossible. So for now I will not be able to look at them all. Will instead visit the pages of my friends like many of you do.

I know that there's no obligation, but it is for me. When I add someone to my friends list I am committed to be considerate and watch their work and read what they have to say or browse their features.

"Do unto others like you want done to you " or words to that effect . Can't ignore that "imperative" in my programming

The other is to add a special Help Request, this time for `photonig Check the links I give below.

Some other sad request from a friend of *Valedhelven Well ... cough cough, there were complications with PayPal, and that has been sorted, however, there is still a need to collect 100 U$S to round up the total needed. Thank you to all who followed the link to help

Sorry though that I couldn't update my Journal earlier, but had some bloody RL problems and slow workings of my ISP or dA or Both !! which made updating like working in molasses

UPDATE that slow response of dA seems to have been fixed ... so far

They got their Sh*t together !!

Well this is something I promised to do when I posted my Anti Official Entity Rant (ANSES(*)Argentina).

As I mention in the heading they got their Sh*t together and finally after several months of pestering some officials, mainly by an incredibly marvelous and efficient Bank Supervisor (Binaria Seguros de Retiro at the Head Office in Buenos Aires, the Insurance Company where I had deposited my Retirement Insurance money. ) I got my monthly payment updated (as well as quite a few other victims of ANSES.)
The next battle will be to ask for the accumulated difference since March 2009 through September 2009. But so far I am satisfied and I am sure that if they updated the monthly income is a direct recognition of their being at fault. I suppose, but then The Law is not particularly known for being logical.

(*) ANSeS stands for "Administración Nacional de la Seguridad Social" or National Administration of (the) Social Security.

Other Contests and Features

I am using a Special Edition # of my Journal to feature the winners of contests I offer as prizes.

In them I also announce some of the current Contests I am interested in participating and other Contests related info.

There is something very interesting and positive I want to share with all here.

As some of you -my friends- know, I won `jenepooh's Christmas in July Contest.

There were many very nice prizes, amongst them a shirt, and I was worried because sometimes things "get lost" in customs, or they ask some outrageous importation fees or taxes. That I am in no position to afford.

Anyway ^PurpelBlur (the donor of that prize) was a dear and helped me immensely to change it, and instead of a shirt I asked for two prints of some of my works, to present to my daughters.

The prints have already arrived and are fabulous, the quality of the print that is. The art ... well I made them, so what can be expected ... they are great !!

So ^PurpelBlur I greatly appreciate all your help and patience with all my questions.
