As
expected, our internet connection was shut off by Arlynda’s former
employer. This happened at around 4:30
p.m. CST the Thursday before last (November 29, 2012). What was not expected was that it would take
over a week to get back online.
Oh,
do I ever have some “stuff” to “share” with you-all about [Mediacom] when I am
more willing to be somewhat civil about it.
No, my Editor will not let me publish what I have now. Sigh.
While
checking on our bank account online yesterday, I discovered something that came
as quite a shock to me. For there was a
deposit from [Google Adsense] for $100.18!
Yeah,
they finally sent a pay-out. It took
almost six years, but there it was.
No,
I do not have any Google Adsense ads on here. For I figured
that it might be more trouble than it would be worth trying to share the possible
revenue with all of the contributing authors, who would be as entitled to a
share of the sex cents per click as I would be.
I
have had it on [AsTheCrackerheadCrumbles] since the very beginning, but with my
total earnings being stuck at a little over $80.00 for the past three years or
so, I had pretty much given up all hope of ever actually receiving a dime from
the Google Adsense program. For they
won’t send anything until the total reaches at least $100.00. Yeah, didn’t Google’s motto used to be, Be Not Evil?
Okay,
I suppose that really isn’t fair. For
the blogging platform is provided free of charge, and so is the opportunity to
make some money from advertising, which is something many people like me would
most likely never have on account of not attracting enough attention. After all, why would an advertiser pay to develop
and place an ad on someplace that it may never be seen by very many people at
all?
Anyway, my wife and I are very grateful for any help we may we may receive, and we are most certainly not discounting
our Heavenly Father’s hand in this—be assured.
Nonetheless, I want more.
(LOL?) (Please?)
Today
may finally be the day when my wife, Arlynda, loses her job as a claims
processor for [United Healthcare]. Be
assured that it has been a long time possibly coming. In fact, she has been on “final warning”
status several times since last January on account of her own steadily
declining health condition, but the company kept allowing her
(naturally-speaking, of course) to move to a different team that was assigned a
different task in the process, which would start the clock all over again. So, regardless of just how much the powers
that be at the company are truly aware of the part that they have been playing
in our Heavenly Father’s plans for us, they certainly cannot be held in any
disdain over expecting their employees to perform at a certain level.
Anyway,
United Healthcare has been paying for our internet connection since they let
her start working from home, and with the service actually being in their name,
along with consideration being given to the sensitivity of the information she
regularly handles, I fully expect our connection to be severed very soon (if
not immediately) upon the completion of the final determination of her employment
status, which could come at any time during the next few hours. Needless to say, with me being such a
wonderful person in every way, shape and form, I did not want to leave any of
you wondering what may have happened after noticing that I have stopped
publishing “stuff.” Hence, the reason
for this rather melodramatic notification.
No,
I do not expect to be offline for very long, but considering the fact that
customer satisfaction is as high on [Mediacom’s] list of corporate priorities as
it is on most of the other cable companies’ lists, it may take several days
before they get over here to set things up again. Ironically, this will actually be saving us a
bunch of money. For as we are getting
another internet connection in our name again, we will be also putting our
cable television service in our name again.
Alas, it is a long stupid story about how we came to have to put it in
Arlynda’s mother’s name when we first moved to where we have been living for
the last six years or so, but suffice to say that we will all be very happy to
finally be able to get it straightened out…we hope.
Yeah,
I may have done went and really lost my mind this time. For the change in our cable service is not
the only thing that I am actually looking forward to. For I have got it in my head that Arlynda
will be allowed and enabled to make it fairly big in the blogosphere, along
with some other possible avenues for financial income opening up for us to
travel.
Nonetheless,
it is going to be some very tough sledding for at least a little while. For aside from what little [S.S.I.] provides
us, we will be losing our own health insurance, and I am most definitely not
looking forward to becoming so personally acquainted with what [Obamacare] has
to offer so soon. Still…
***UPDATE***
7:00 p.m. CDT October 9, 2012
Well, I don’t know
what to tell you. For she participated
in the scheduled phone conference with her bosses and the rest of the team she
is currently on, and after it was over, which is when she expected her main
boss to break the news, nothing was said either way. So, I will keep on keeping on until someone
has the plug pulled.
This site is meant to present as many views as possible of what we may want to believe is the truth about a number of subjects. For the more closely we seek to examine such, the closer we can come to accepting what our Heavenly Father actually says is absolutely true. For He will be there to counter what is not right, and He truly is interested in every aspect of our daily lives. Ah, but who is so deaf as the one who does not want to hear?
No, this is not for just articles about the possibility of us truly being in the end times. For it has been personally revealed to me that every day in this world is one of tribulation. In fact, even what we would naturally consider to be the best of lives is absolutely miserable in comparison to the worst of lives in our Heavenly Father’s Kingdom of Heaven. Therefore, be assured that this is a place for articles on politics (both secular and religious), business practices, social issues, environmental concerns, as well as spiritual matters—not all from a strictly “Christian” perspective, neither.
If you would like to be a contributor, please drop me an email at FishHawk7@gmail.com. Reposting of articles that you have published elsewhere is permitted, and all rights to your own material will be retained by you. If you would like to publish something while remaining anonymous, just email it to me, and I will assign you an alias. For a small fee, I can even promise to keep your true identity a secret. (LOL?)
On the other hand, you could contribute just as much by leaving comments that will encourage further discussion, but please try to be civil. For a challenge can be made without getting ugly about it. Well, at least that is what I have heard.
