Nighttime Again

June 30th 2009 04:05
It's getting late and time for the Night Owl. The television is off and it's quiet, just the way I like it---just me and my computer. I love being home, but today I had to be gone all day. Don't know what was on the news, I'm just sure most of it was depressing.

Michael Jackson's face is all I saw on the tube tonight, before I turned it off. Another celebrity brought down by prescription drugs. How many more will we have to lose before something is done about the number of doctors who are no better than drug dealers?

I have experience as to what prescription pills can do to a family, and it's not pretty. Prescription drugs are killing more young people than street drugs today, and you can get them anywhere. I love the Internet, but it is destroying so many of our young.


It's getting so bad, that good doctors are afraid to write prescriptions for pain medications and tranquilizers for the people who really need them, afraid they will be accused of pushing drugs also.

Okay, this will be a short post tonight. I need to catch up with what's happening. I'll try to get brave enough to sit and watch the news tomorrow. I feel a good rant coming on, and I'm sure there will be something on to trigger it.

The Night Owl is signing off early tonight. Hope you all have a good week and be sure to stop in often.

The Night Owl on Adsense

June 27th 2009 17:09


What can i say about Orble? It's a magic place, just what I was searching for. I think I have found my niche. Only four days on here and I was planning on staying for the duration. I have friends here and I do feel like I have a lot to say.


I signed up for Adsense, and heard nothing. I waited a couple of days and resubmitted. Nothing.! I decided I would cool it on the writing here until I heard from them.

I was fooling around on the net yesterday, checking out blog spots and stopped at Google's Blog Spot. Just for fun, I decided to sign in and start a small, personnal blog for practice. I filled everything out, named my blog and was met with the notice: ???????@gmail.com has been banned from Adsense for improper clicking.

I am a little puzzled, since I have never used that email, have never, until four days ago, applied for adsence and never had an adsense account. I spent the day reading and trying to figure out what is going on and what can be done. From what I see, if you've been banned, you're through. I filled out the one appeal I am allowed, but it is almost impossible to fill in the required blanks, when you have absolutely no knowledge of the charges you are trying to dispute.

Have any of the rest of you had to deal with this? And has there ever been a resolution? From everything I have read, once you're banned, it's over.

So, unless things change, I just want everyone to know that I really did enjoy my very short blogging carreer.

Farrah is Gone

June 25th 2009 19:31


Sad news today. Farrah Fawcett succumbs to cancer at age sixty-two. Ryan O'Neal leaves Farrah's bedside with the simple statement, "She's gone She now belongs to the ages" After announcing they were to be married, Ryan was at Farrah's bedside as she died. They had been long time companions, but never married. Farrah passed at 9:28 this morning after two weeks in the hospital.

I'm sure most all of you remember the series 'Charlies Angels.' Farrah was my favorite. She starred in many movies, but the one that stands out in my mind is 'The Burning Bed," a TV movie.

Farrah had suffered from cancer for many years and had gone into remission at least a couple of times. She was a brialliant actress and a great person. She will be greatly missed.

Death comes to us all, for some it comes way too soon.

With all the news on the tube today, I just wanted to take a second to say, Farrah, we will miss you.

Christmas Lights Crisis

: Christmas lights Crisis
bear


I love Christmas lights as much as the next person. In our younger years, mum and dad would take my sisters and I to see streets and sometimes even entire housing estates lit up with blinking, flashing, deliriously rainbow-coloured lights. There was always something so magical about it.

Where have all the turtles gone?

December 16th 2008 00:34
hawksbill turtle

Marine turtles are facing a fierce battle to survive in the wake of global warming. Rising temperatures equals melting icecaps, which means more water in the sea and therefore higher sea levels. This then means that the sheltered beaches where marine turtles lay their eggs and leave them to incubate will soon be underwater.
