FORBIDDEN ON AOL
What? Forbidden? Me? What the frick do you mean I'm forbidden? Thats MY blog, I'm already signed on to AOL, how can I be fricken forbidden? Good golly, I pay you abso-fricken-lutely NOTHING for your lousy service and I expect to get my money's worth!
Forbidden my butt!

Edit 03/08/07: Apparently my screenshot of the forbidden error message is also forbidden and can no longer be accessed through AOL You've Got Pictures and therefore no longer appears on this entry. Can you say 'Blogger Gate'?

I AM NOT WORTHY
Okay, I suffered a momentary lapse of weakness and I clicked on the banner ad just to see what it was all about, and look what popped up. I AM NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THIS OFFER! Isn't that a hoot in the tooter!

IRONIC ISN'T IT?
spam...
Have you noticed the amount of spam that is getting through AOL now that they've gotten into the spam business? The message boards and journals are full of it. And, funny thing is, yesterday when I reset my daughter's password, the official notification from AOL was sent to the spam folder in her mailbox by... AOL's spam filters!

MY BLOG, MY THOUGHTS, AOL'S ADS
Last week AOL decided to add ads to all of its Hometown Journals and homepages. All of the creatively designed webpages are now littered with spam. Inspiration journals, personal accounts of hardship and tragedy, homeschooling blogs, baby's first year, cat and dog blogs... none were exempt from the tacky invasion. I complained to HelpLive to get the spam removed but it seems that AOL's spam guard is set up to protect us from all spam... except for AOL's spam. I guess they want to be the only spammers in the neighborhood. Heck, journal guidelines even state that we cannot advertise on our journals if it does not pertain to AOL journals. I've been trying to figure out where Bank of America and Quiznos fit in to the journaling community. That AOL ad made sence. It was the AOL Spam edition.
So anyhow, until AOL either removes the ads, or offers an acceptable solution for this issue, this journal will display its new and inproved title (anti-spam edition, of course!)

ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP DRIVE
Membership Drive
I was just noticing that I haven't conducted a membership drive for Bloggers Anonymous since we started this support group just over a year ago. So, if you see that you are not listed in the membership column and you aren't afraid to admit that yes, you ARE addicted to blogging, leave your name and url here and I will add you to the roll.
Dornbrau,

JUST ANOTHER .COM DAY.
Wake up... grudgingly, (but then I remember the computer and I bounce out of bed.)
Do my 'duties' in the bathroom, (quickly because the computer calls to me)
Turn on the computer (this is a manuvere that can be completed in the dark thanks to a cyber-magnetic homing device in the tip of my right index finger)
Pour a cup of coffee while waiting for Windows xp to load. (too bad the computer doesn't load as fast as the coffee brews).
Log on to AOL.
Experience a feeling of peace and well being.
Read e-mails from children who must forward any requests for funding or mediation. This is the preferred method of communication since volume can be controlled and screen names can be ignored or deleted if need be.
Read emails from spouse and wonder why he is fwd'ing a link to getajob.com. Can't he see, I'm too busy to get a job!
Check my horoscope so I know how I'm expected to behave today.
Check lotto numbers to see if I'm a multi-millionaire yet.
Realize that I am NOT a multi-millionaire yet. Delete shopping cart at Macy's.
Search for German bbq recipe to use for supper.
Accept the risk of 7 years bad luck for deleting another Little Tommy chain letter.
Consider ordering from the spammed penile enlarger catalog and switching them with spouse's One A Day vitamins just to see if it really works.
Log off as spouse's car turns up the driveway and turn on dishwasher to simulate work in progress.
Intercept spouse on landing with beer and a promise to bring supper down while he relaxes on sofa infront of the TV.
Rush upstairs and toss some frozen hotdogs into a pot on the stove.
Log back on to AOL.
