The internet


Ok so I have been little worried about things. Especially my kids when they are here. (mom holly is not pregnant) If you watched channel 2 news last night at 10 p.m. They did an article about a local radio station that does a program called scared straight. You can view what they have written here: http://www.971zht.com/pages/scaredstraight/ it is a hyper link so please click on it. I HIGHLY recommend reading it. What they do is every Thursday morning they bring in their laptop into the office and get online. They pose as a 13 year old girl, and just sit there. Within a few seconds they have someone trying to talk to them. They don't know who is online with them for all we know it is a really old fat man. So they start to chat with the person and try and get a phone number out of him. They call him on the air and start to talk to him. These guys are just gross and nasty. What they say to a 14 year old girl is horrible. So before they start into the nasty nasty talk one of the male radio people gets on the phone and starts to talk to them. From here they give the IP address and the phone number to the internet task force. So after reading/hearing about it I did a little research myself there is a product out there called cybersitter http://www.cybersitter.com/cybinfo.htm it is a great program that filters out bad content as well as recording all chats so that you (the parent) can read what your child is having a conversation with to make sure you child is not talk to a pedophile.

Soap Box

Please understand that the opinions reflected in this post does not necessarily reflect anyone and or any certain company. Nor towards any certain company. It is just about people.


One thing that has really upset me is when people are hired/asked to do certain things and they DON'T do it. It is frustrating. Especially when they just sit on their butt and do nothing and then I have to do it. I am ok with doing it, but the real catcher is when they come and complain to me about how it should be done. They should do there job/duty and let me do mine. It really upsets me! Do the job you are supposed to do and let me do mine. Not me do yours and mine and expect other things. I know this is vague, I need to be vague for certain reasons. Please don't get me wrong, I like to work and do not mind doing more that asked. But please don't complain to me that I am not doing my job when I am. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! O.K. so I am done now. I will get off the soap box and will write more, later, about better, more interesting things. And a big thanks goes out to Blair for commenting. I appreciate it Blair.
