What happened to my pics?

Does anyone know what happened to all of my photos? I haven't been on in a while, but I did pay for a lifetime subscription so I could store my pics here back when Xanga only allowed photo storage for subscribed members. I realize I haven't been spending much time here lately, but come on? Now I'm going to have to do a complete redesign of my site because they've even taken my custom-designed header.

I got into trouble last night

I left the porch light on when I left the house to help the Eagles Auxiliary make table decorations. John called me not 5 minutes after I left the house, "Do we have any candy at home?"

Oskaloosa did trick-or-treating last night, ON A SCHOOL NIGHT, when Halloween is on Saturday this year. I actually thought they were doing "beggars night" on Friday because it wasn't the night before church, but no, they were out on Thursday. HOW STUPID!!!

I didn't buy any candy this year because both of us will be gone Friday night to activities, and I'll be gone Saturday for a fundraiser. When I got home last night, not only had he turned off the porch light, he had ALL of the lights in the house off and was watching TV in the dark. He had locked the front door, which I had trouble finding the keyhole in the dark, because he "didn't want to take any chances" of getting more trick-or-treaters.

Fighting the Cable Company

This is the 3rd weekend in less than a month that our Internet has been down. I called the cable company last night and the guy was like, "well, our engineers are doing their best to get it back up." I find it kind of odd that it's always on the weekend that they go down. So I tell the guy that I know they can't get it back on any faster, but I don't think I should have to pay my full cable bill when they haven't been providing me with the full service. He gave me a week of credit on my bill. Thank you very much. I might have been unable to post like I wanted, or to look up some information at the Internet Movie Database when John and I sat here trying to figure out where we know an actor in a movie from, but I got a quarter off my cable bill.

Finally Facebook

I finally joined Facebook. For years, John has given me crap about socieal networking sites and how they invite viruses into your computer. Tonight, #1 daughter told me that I needed to join Facebook so I can see pics of the grandkids as she is always taking pics of them and it's so easy to upload stuff from your phone. OK, I'll bite. I grumble because Facebook doesn't think the legitimate e-mail address I provide it is valid, so John tells me to try logging in using his Facebook account? WHAT??? What happened to how bad social networking sites are? Why is he, the anti-social person in this family, already on Facebook? So he can talk to some of his old Army buddies. No fair! But I'm on Facebook now. I only had to enter in 3 different e-mal addresses to get it to let me in. It wasn't an address I normally provide for things because I don't want the junk mail that seems to follow. We'll see how easy it is to keep this updated. Maybe since Xanga and Facebook are now linked together, I'll be better about posting on Xanga, too.

Tearful farewell

Watched MJ's memorial. Went through a few tissues crying. Once when Jermaine broke up singing; once when Brooke Shields told her story about how they used to laugh together; lastly when Paris Jackson said how good a daddy he was and she would miss him. I think Paris touched me the most, possibly because I know the pain of losing a parent at a young age. May God bless them and watch over them.
