Bio
6 Word Bio: RUDELY AWOKEN-- MOSTLY OUTSPOKEN-- REMAINING UNBROKEN ****************************************** My life would shock most people. It is a little known fact that there are quite a number of those on the fringes who may not ever see relief. I am that one you never met, in that we are kept separate by way of societal demands that the poor remain silent, biddable, childlike nonentities without a say as to our care or how it's to be provided. ****************************************** I tend to view things as a selfdisicplined person without advantages. If this won't set with some, then I guess they are not ready to remember who we are as one entity, governed by everyone inclusively. I will not cease to point out any diseased thinking I run across here in the USA. ****************************************** I stand in defense of the weakened, the brutally treated, the denied, the ones for whom life's trial can be too much. I stand with my thought, even when my legs are weakened, my stride not strong. ****************************************** Walk with me on this journey, now, wherein we may ask each other: How much is the value of one person affected by what is generally assumed about them? **** See me also at THE POOR WOMAN'S RETROACTIVE DIARY, (go to LINKS below, if you're interested) a commentary on the level of care I was allowed throughout my time seeking help.

Fusun: What can I say? I can't stand spam. Canned or otherwise. :)
Also, it's staff's lead. Y'know?

zuma: There's only 2 of you here, dearie. And we got two (count 'em, 2!) rates up there.

Are they really gone??? I closed comments on my post that was on the cover this week-end because I got tired of battling them.

Tink: This afternoon's battle's been won, but our war's not over yet!!!!

Unsheath those claws, buddy!!! Sic 'em!!!


Mime: No, but they've been reduced--for the time being. Sure hope things get back to normal here before too long!

When I clicked on this morning they were gone !
I read Emily's post & added my thanks but ...

Kim: I keep noticing when they're on cleanup duty. this can't have been easy. I'm sure they have better things to do besides babysit all our unwelcome "guests". Earlier on, they invaded the "MOST VIEWED Past day" feed--my last post is about that part of our fight. ("KEEP THE FEED OURS!!!!!!" under my recent posts, left.) it's gotten pretty messy before, but we'd never seen it so bad here before that I recall.

Linda: You said it, sister!

I fear that although the last brigade of combat spammers seem to be gone, the residual force is still something we're going to have to discuss in more detail...

Kent: It's an all-out assault. We'll have to be vigilant. I'm after every last one of 'em, from mary lin to sportswhatever.

Joan: Thanks for bumping here again!!! You're the greatest!!!

I love Queen.
That said, I am tech-challenged enough not to understand the whole thing.
So when you were saying click on Spamsalot, I was what? Someone! please explain!
But look, no dust!

No, sorry, that was way premature and they're back, and the New Posts feed is just a steady stream of spam again.

I think what probably happened for that brief respite, since these spammers seem to primarily be in China, is they were asleep. And now they're back up and at it.

What the heck are you talking about PW? We are dripping in pink awful offal. I closed comments on my posts, changed my avatar, and now I'm going to go do a little knitting before bed.

This is the best internet shopping sight! ... Thanks! I had to delete so much spam yesterday, but today, it was only a few! Very grateful to you! R

scanner: Sssssmokin'!!!

Vanessa: Queen's hot even today. What I had asked you to do was show the feed by your clicking on our only 2 remaining and actual blogs in the MOST VIEWED TODAY feed, how the sports spambots were less popular.
Does that make sense? MAybe I'm crazy--I thought it might hold 'em off for long enough for staff to get on it.

David, I happen to know that staff had been working against that tide earlier. They are trying for us. We must give them credit for it and try and help wherever possible. Clear away spam if you find it where you post, of course (and if you have time), but also try and flag errant spambots before they can take root here.
Let's give staff a fighting chance--that's how I see it, I guess.

Well, we can try for it. At least we can then say to ourselves we went the extra mile to see if it would be of some use.

greenheron: Adore the new avatar!!!LOL!!!! Have a fine time knitting. Hopefully things will start to improve before too long.

libmomrn: Yes! Go staff!!!!!!!

Just deleted some spam, and boy, did it feel good!

Has the SPAM been zapped? We'll see what shows up next Sunday.

Wright Sight: There's work ahead, no doubt. Staff's hard at work. Ee should give them credit for doing the best they're able and keep removing all those ads that fall under our individual jurisdiction. I have a feeling they'll be hard at work on it for their own sake if not for yours or mine this week. Let's wait and see.

Yeah, it seems like the staff is on it, the spammers are being deleted, it's just that the site itself is just so open, I mean, I can create an account called lkfnfegkgk really easy.

I still have my claws out and tearing into the spammers' tasty flesh!! Nummy!! :D

Thanks OS staff & Thanks Poor Woman! I just saw Tinks last comment and think I'm falling for him. Visions of him clawing spammers just thrill me. Rated for all of it.

Tink: "Tasty" flesh?????? LOL!!!!! You big mean kitty, you! ;)

l'Heure: Our staff deserves our praise. What this can have done to office time, I shudder to think!
Yeah, Tink's one defense against the dark forces of spam we cannot afford to do without! (BTW, I have it on the best authority, he likes his ears scritched.)
