No,,AT&T/BS didn't mess up.I just haven't managed to make an entry for a bit longer than I planned.Things ta do,,ya know?
I have been busy putting a cupla few sites together and running some trails,,logic trails that is.(That's what I call it when I read articles or stuff online and do searches on
items,elements and ideas found in the material or that come to mind while reading them.I actually enjoy it and it comes in handy when debating or discussing stuff in the forum boards.
I recently did one on Obama and surprisingly enough I discovered he was linked to a few organizations that blew my mind.Through his churches affiliations at that!
(Even if I could vote,,I wouldn't vote for him.)Anyways,,I sometimes,,read that 'often',,get totally engrossed while doing them and wind up spending more time on them than I wanted to.

Funny thing though,,and pleasantly surprising to me,,I have had more pg view totals for a month than I ever have.2638.Thank you,I appreciate it.Remember,,feel free to let me know your thoughts and opinions.
(eventually someone will,,even if it's just to tell me off)

Oh,,about AT&T/BS,,they didn't cause me to get back on line,,but as of right now I haven't managed to get BSMail going.The partnership just seems to have messed up BS's track record as far as I'm concerned.
I have allways considered them a 'premium provider' and never really had anything negative I could say about the quality of their service but since the AT&T hookup,,it ain't true no mo'.

I finally got a beekeeper to come take a look at that hive.They aren't africanzed killers according to him.And here's how he told me,,
After allready walking up to the hive in the log,,and while actually leaning on it,he tells me,,'No,,they're regular bees,,",then taps on the log lightly,",,otherwise they would allready bee after us.'
I was a tad stunned.But I wasn't stung.
He said that chances were good that the colony had an old queen that had abdicated her throne in another hive.She,,and the hive shouldn't last more than a couple of seasons if that IS the case.
Given that,,and the fact that he stated that seeing as how he would have to destroy the log to work the hive,,he couldn't do much more than take them away and put them in his bee yard.
As well as his rule of thumb regarding moving bee hives,,"Either three feet or three miles".
And a friend of ours said she has a friend with a bee suit.
If I can use it for a month or so,,I will move them myself out into the field behind us.
IF,,I can get the suit.Otherwise if I cut the log into a smaller chunk the bee guy will take them.

I have added the above mentioned logic trail to The Staks Archive and I have added a two more 'official' sites to the list.
The sites are titled after the seperate parts of the title of this site:
'dangdingieamerican' and the 'theevilwhiteman'.They are on Tripods server.
I will use them as the names infer.
Think of it like this,,'dangdingieamerican' is for the 'dam,dirty american',,as the world seems to see us.
And 'theevilwhiteman',,well,,that one is self evident.No?
Not that I intend for either to be vulgar or extreme in what I present there and no,,it's not like I am building a white racist set of sites either.
My goal is to be able to present,,in a reasonable fashion,,what I consider to be evidence or illustrations of what I see as a growing trend to 'villify' and ignore racism directed towards
white folk in general (at theevilwhiteman) and American whites,,dutch,irish,englis and german in particular.As seperate demographics and as a larger group.
At dangdingieamerican it will be a different take on those same ethnic groups and my Native American ancestry also.

My hope could be said to be that some folks may see what I present and come to an understanding of how it isn't just and only white people who think and act in racially biased ways.
Or it could be said that I just want to put it out there,,because I wanna and don't care who likes it.

Either way,,'hoot,,there it is!:

I have been off line for the past several days.About 10.
This was due to a 'forign' name being attached to our phone service with Bellsouth/AT&T.
Evidently,,a 'cell acct' was left connected/tagged to our 'new to us' number,,from the former number/acct holders,we think.But it gave us trouble for several months.
Even though we were paying our bill,,and not (as far as we know) having any actual charges from them added onto the portion we paid (we don't have the cell feature) when they didn't pay theirs,,ours got cut off.
This happened three times.All three times they did turn service back on and said they had corrected the problem.The third time my wife conversed with Deputy about it and he said to contact him if it continued.
It did,,she did.
He spoke to the folks and now,,we have a new number and alledgedly,,it's a temporary one.(?)
But I am back on line,,even though the DSL logon name was mispelled.
Just today,,right before I started writing this entry,,I was just about to call them about that final issue,,which if uncorrected,,may have led to a repeat of the crap all over again with a different name as far as I was concerned,when the phone rang and it was the AT&T/BS Quality Control Department (!?!)
The gal with the heavy accent asked if we were content with our recent interactions,,I said,,'all except for,,,'
Now,,according to Allie,,with in the next 3 days,,I will try to log on and I will be told 'nope' after which  alledgedly will log in the correct name and be done with corrections.
(If I stop showing up,,you can probally be sure that it didn't work out all peachy and creamy)

I have taken advantage of the 'offline' time to write a couple more parts to Wee!Gee!
I'm sure a lot of folks are curious about what comes next,,if the pg views the Tripod module has counted mean anything.
From the 18th,,which was the last time I checked the number,,to when I checked last night,it went from 2196 w/51 prev day to 2566 w/80 prev day.
Thanx for visiting folks,,and for those actually looking to see if there was any new Wee!Gee! installments,,here ya go,, Part 8 & Part 9.
(there is a back story going on right now,a bit of reverie,,from a long ago October night,,across the street and two houses down from the neigborhood cemetary involving a different ouijie board.)

As to the bees,,well,,I did get some photos of the hive,,and got surprised myself when I finally got a straight in look.
NO,,I haven't located someone to come take them.Allthough I have found plenty that take them if I pay them,,that makes me wonder if there really is a problem with bees in the U.S. disapearing,,howbout ya'll?
(I have sent a local beekeeping biz 2 emails so far with no response,,no not even a 'buzzoff' from 'em ~smirk~)
NO,,I haven't killed them yet.
No,,they haven't harmed anyone,,so far.
No,,I didn't get the pics of them with that Vivitar ViviCam3350.I shot 'em the old fashioned way,,with film!
So,,after I finish the role I'll scan 'em and post 'em.Even if I have to go the library,staples or kinckos to do it.
(I am still on my current backup pc,,and it don't like my scanner,,or that Vivicam for some reason.Darn HP!)

I have some other shots of stuff to let ya'll see.On a different roll I have some shots of the recent full eclipse of the moon from my backyard.
But on the roll with the hive are some 'casual observations' that I think someone out there may enjoy seeing,,who?I don't know,,but I hope one of you will let me know if you do,,or if ya don't,even.

To comment on the Tripod glitch and what it has led me to do,,I decided to give The Staks as much freedom to grow as I can on a free account.
I opened http://thestaks.tripod.com ,,that way there won't be any bull and I don't have to worry much about filling up the main sites 20mb.
Even though I will transfer/replicate them at The Staks site,I will leave The Original Staks where they are.As well as V2,,untill it becomes a matter of space.
(So they will remain accesable via the links I placed in my Excite Board posts for future 'bored-board miners' as long as possible.)
That now makes for these being the official Tripod pages associated with me and the harbin336 excite account:
http://royharbin.tripod.com
https://royharbin.tripod.com/blog
http://thestaks.tripod.com

&

http://roylharbin.tripod.com

,,and each sites blog when or if I use them.

IOW,,ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES,YA'LL!!!

Ya'll come back now,,y'hear?

I finally received a response from Tripod about the 'glitch',,(why does that rhyme with 'female dog'?) and it turns out the glitch I thought was a glitch was actually a fix.

They said in an email :

~Unfortunately it was a security flaw to allow direct editing of the blog directory. You can still access the directory via ftp though. Your files will not be deleted in that folder, you can just no longer access them via the built in file manager. The blog directory is meant to only hold the the actual blog files.~ 

And it seems it was an actual person responding.

Thanx Jack!

Yet,,for now I am going to leave the Original Staks static and use The Staks V2 while I change roy l.harbin.tripod.com into a 'library site' and call it the Staks.

I have a few entries in The Staks V2 allready,, A Joint Word Work:mitinka plays atheist , A pkpost:built on failure ,  A pkpost:obscuring Islamic extremism or,, Eclipsing the Moon,,fruit.  and nybrit_asked  which is the one that got me to go ahead and start The Staks V2 .

I haven't wrote anymore of 'Wee!Gee!' yet,sorry.

And I tried to get some shots of my 'beehive' in that palm tree log but this pc I am using while by 'big one' is down won't accept the camera for some reason,,nor a scanner,so,,I ain't gonna get one if I don't get that straight before they are taken away or I have to do something with them myself.

I really don't want to harm them,unless they are Africanized Honey Bees (which I can't determine) and would rather move them.

So,,if anyone reads this and wants to come get a 'fresh,young colony' for free,,and don't charge me to take them,,come and get 'em.

I am surprised,,even though there has been a lot of 'buzz' ( Bees Disappearing , Virus May Be Cause of US Honeybee Deaths  ) about the problems with our countries bee populations,,I can't find anyone who actually wants the bees for the sake of having the bees.But they sure want to charge for it.I have seen prices from 250 to 500 to have them removed.

So,,seriously,,if there is some 'beekeeper' that reads this,,and you want these bees,,just go to my Contact Page and pick a way to let me know.I am in Vero Beach,Fl.

Or,,I am going to have to destroy them,,for safeties sake.They are right at a location I,my wife and our three dogs frequent often.My wife is 'sensitive' and even if not,,IF they are africanized,,they are a deadly threat if they get disturbed or irritated and become agitated enough to attack.

I haven't even cut the grass due to concern it may set them off,,and it's now tall enough to make a 'vision wall'.

Now,,to date at 3 am,,2,183 pg views this month (so far),,thanks for dropping in folks,,ya'll come back now,,ya'hear?!

Mood:  irritated

I dreamed of how I wanted this blog to be,,what I would focus on and how I would focus on it,,and built it.And then a glitch occurs that prevents me from continuing as I had allready began.Tripod tells me it's fixed when it isn't,,then ignore further request I made.

AFTER  THAT happens,,Tripod actually sends me an email saying : 

~

 

They say there are over 70 million blogs on the Internet. Have you joined in yet? Well, what's stopping you? Start a blog on Tripod today. Here are some tips to get you started:

1. Read other blogs. Spend some time surfing the blogs out there. You will discover your preferences regarding design, layout, and topics. Do you prefer reading long or short entries? Entries with lists? Make decisions before you start as to what you want your content to look like. You can check out some of Tripod's most recently updated blogs here.

2. Have a focus. Choose a topic for your blog that interests you and will have meaning for potential readers. Love TV? Create a blog of show reviews and commentary. More interested in fashion? Blog about your Manolos. Your writing will be improved by keeping on topic. Tripod gives you plenty of template options and an image gallery to create the look and feel you want for your site.

3. Get an RSS feed! Syndicating your blog will make it easier for readers to know exactly when you've updated. That said, update frequently to keep people interested. You can even post entries and pictures right from your mobile phone ... you never have an excuse for not updating! ~

Now,,I don't know about how that would affect anyone else,,but that just irks me to no end.(it's like rubbing salt in my 'wound' as far as I am concerned.)

And besides,,given what has happened with The Original Staks,,doesn't it equal false advertisement?

After all,,I have an excuse for NOT updating according to planned critria because they won't fix the glitch.

I want The Original Staks to be part of my 'blog' itself,,not part of the other site,,just like I had it built allready.

Instead,,I have to do the thing I didn't want to because they can't put the link back the way it was when I started out.

I unexpectedly wound up completing and posting part 7 of Wee!Gee!.I don't know what got into me,,but 'hoo!there it is' anyway.

I know there are people coming through and reading this stuff,,I can hear youse guys breathing.Can someone,,at least one of you send a scathingly cruel critique/review of it or FFOII? or something else found here to me?

Now,,if you would rather send a complimentary one instead,,feel free to do that too.(I promise I won't tell no one your name or nic if tell ya me not to.) 

And if you use this form,,you don't have to fill in anything you don't want to.

If you use this forum,,pick the one with the level you are comfortable with,,but the non-register one allows total anonymity.And just sos ya all know I said it,,I don't log Ip #'s and even if the system did,,I don't care who or where you really are,,just how your mind responds. okay?

But,,hey,,even if no one does,,thank you for reading it,folks,,I hope you check back in for the future parts that I will be posting.And I do hope some one likes it.

Now,,for the 'beehive in a palm tree log':

I have a beehive moved into a hollow palm tree log behind my building.(It was knocked down by those two hurricanes that allmost led to my death,Frances & Jeann)

It's neat as far as I am concerned,,although my wife is 'sensitive' to their stings.I am going to see if I can get some pictures with my crappy little Chinese made Vivicam 3350 digital camera,,(it took the pics in the Frances & Jeann pic album) but I may have to clear some memory in this pc (a back-up w/only a few gigs total mem and about 500mbs free right now) to do it.

Anyone know anything much about bees and moving them?

Okay,,I decided to go ahead and start a new instance of The Staks.I wasn't going to just yet but nybrit asked a question that deserved a response so instead of trying to respond with the Excite Boards editor I just did what I did before.It looks the same.

The Original Staks are still there but are static.Maybe Tripod will fix the glitch one day.

Tripods page view counter has been acting odd too but the on the 31st of the past month it showed I had 1928 pg views for that month.Not as hi as the prev month,,but I liked it.I had missed like 20 days in making updates or entries so I expected it to be less.Thanx a bunch to those who came by,,I appreciate it.

To those who came by the first time,,I hope you liked (or hated) something enuff to come back and check it out again in the future.

To  those that came seeking new stuff during that time,,sorry.

But,,for youse guys,,I got myself busy banging on this keyboard and I HAVE NOW posted part 6 of Wee!Gee! 

As usual,,I do ask folks who read it to please send me a comment on whether you liked,,or didn't like it and if you wouldn't mind,,include why you feel that way.(The comment button dooflikey below this entry works.And there is a message board tucked away on the Site Services pg.It's also a link on my main Tripod site nav bar.Or you can email me from here or use harbin336 AT excite.com.

A few thoughts and a few questions inspired from reading the thread 'Kicking God to the curb':
http://boards.excite.com/jsp/topicview.jsp?tid=496677&va=22

In God we trust being on our money seen as offensive to other religions.

How?Don't they believe in God too?Unless you count atheists,communists,humanists and other alledged non religions that are promoted,advocated and defended by their adherents just as zealously as any 'devoted' religionist would their own religion.
(That makes those ideologies equal to a religion,,doesn't it?)

In God we trust being on our currency is a 'christian thing'.

The name of God is not God in any religion.The word God is a title,,not a name.
The Christians have allmost as many different 'names' of god as their are sects of christians.
(Hey,,how come when Islamists say 'Allah',,everyone accepts it as okay because they say it means God but when a Christian says God,,everyone acts like it is a different word all of a sudden and get all offended?)

God being a basis for the 'inalienable rights' our constitution says we have.
If the phrase 'Our Creator' does NOT mean 'God' then who is the human or alien it refers to as being the one who 'created' us?

IF there is no 'creator' then there is no entity with the authority over 'inalienable rights' to endow them on us.
(No creator = no inalienable rights)

Since 'our creator' is synonymous with the title God then to NOT show trust in God in a tiny way like putting it on our currency is equal to not trusting the idea that a creator endowed us with inalienable rights.

All this anti God rhetoric equals an attack on the foundation of the Constitution.
(Witout a 'creator' there are no inalienable rights,ya'll!!!!Read the document,,it says it plainly.)

The idea that 'God belongs in people's heart and soul, not the government.':

Read this,,it explains how it is pure idiocy to think church and state can actually be separated:

https://royharbin.tripod.com/blog/index.blog/1667089/regarding-how-to-seperate-church-from-state/

The way contemporary christians are claimed to be equal to the 'infamously notoriously violent and corrupt' church systems of the past that committed such atrocities as the inquisitions and crusades or even burnt alledged witches.
Doing this displays a bigoted mindset.In the exact same way that someone who said anyone that doesn't believe in the God of the Christians is equally the same as any who also did not believe in God and have committed atrocious deeds in the past.
(IOW,,saying the christians of today are in some way being like those old time 'alledged' christians is like saying an atheist is acting like all the communists,nazis,muslims,dagonites,sodomites,vikings,picts or any other that didn't believe in the Judeo-Christian God down through history.)

As a Christian that has not been indoctrinated by any 'organised religion' and finds most 'mainstream religions' acting very different from what logic says they should be based on what they claim they base it on,,I agree that such religions as Roman Cathloticism that place such weight on any one man is devoid of the wisdom contained in the Judeo-Christian 'Bible'.

The real funny thing about that is that the Judeo-Christian religion contains the concepts of 'revile NOT the gods',obey rulers,don't punish the children for the fathers sins,show mercy,respect elders,,,oh yeah,,and forgiveness along with no need for blood sacrifices.
And as to the Hebrew/Judeo-Christian form of slavery,,if you get released after 6 years,,exactly how is that equal to what we consider as slavery today?
(Theorectically,,if you had a choice,out of all the cultures that ever had,,or still do have slavery,which culture would you 'rather' be enslaved by?)

Lastly for this piece,,

~If this country were
"founded on christian values" it certainly wouldn't be a democracy would it?~

It is.Isn't it?
And BTW,,you have to admit,,if the majority weren't christians of one sort or another,,and you disagreed with their take on religion,,they would just imprison or kill you,,now wouldn't they?
(look around the world today,,which religion is doing the 'convert or die' thing?Christians?)

Come on,all you who reject the idea of God and His involvement through the Judeo-Christian ideology in our countries origins and how THAT IS what made us as great as we once were,take the blinders off,,reject the conditioning,,don't let the state continue turning generations of Americans into 'state worshipping worker drones'.

Face it,,since the 30's,,there has been 'increasingly intense' opposition to the concept of the J-C God in our country and there has been a corresponding decline in the peaceful,noble qualities which has contributed to the overall degeneration of the social and cultural environment of this country that seemed to kick in around the early 60's,,aboout the time Kennedy was assassinated.
And that decline is directly responsible for the character of the 'politician pool' (on all party sides lately) which voters can select their candidates from.

THAT couldn't/wouldn't happen IF the educational atmosphere hadn't been dominated by anti-religious individuals which catered to their own particular doctrinesm,beliefs and ideologies.Just like with any other human,,those 'personal,internal agendas color and influence the policies,procedures,practices and philosophies which control our educational systems curricuulum.

Now,,if only more people would look at the overall patterns that develope from the antics of their politicians and see how most have been 'dumbed down' sufficiently to start removing the 'authority above state' through telling the public it's for their own good and is 'insuring they retain those inalienable rights endowed by a 'Creator God' they deny exists or has any place in the minds if the men leading them.
HOW MORONIC IS THAT?

I have to say,,I am disgusted at the idiocy the public school system has indoctrinated the citizens of this country into accepting as sound logical thinking in regards to our constitution and the concepts actually espoused in them.

But,,that's just the opinion of a Christian,hetero,DANG-DInGIE American,,you know,,an Evil White Cracker of mixed immigrant ancestry,,the only demographic with no guarantee of 'equal treatment under the law' written into our laws,,who can't vote,,so who's gonna listen?

Well,,I have to admit,,I now feel soured about Tripod.I did receive a response but they said it was resolved but it wasn't,,and still isn't.

This Staks problem has taken away a big part of the pleasure I was feeling about doing this.

And now,,my pg view count is actually going backwards,,and I have no idea why that is happening.

On top of that,,I can't get any feedback about any thing I've put up from either web folk or the folk I know off line.

So,,right now I have no clear idea what I am going to do about it.

We all know why they run a free service,,it's to run adds for revenue and get you to eventually upgrade to a paid account.YET,,I am pretty sure I don't want to pay for this kind of service.

Given that the free accounts are to get you to upgrade,,it's supposed to be a 'preview' of the 'features' and 'services' they offer,,,If a free account holder can't count on the glitches that occur being taken care why have a bill for such?

I haven't wrote part 5 for Wee!Gee! yet and if I do I don't know if  will continue posting it on the Tripod site.Stay tuned,,I'll post my decision.

Maybe my happy relations with Tripod is going to take a turn for the worse.I tried to add a reply set to The Staks but Tripods editor is not letting me get to it from inside.

Clicking the blog folder icon just gives me the 'blog' itself.Previously to this the blog editor had to have the slect box checked to open.Clicking on the folder icon gave me the files under/in the blog directory itself,,not the blog opened in editable form.

I opened a trouble ticket with them,,their auto responder said they will get back to me in 5-7 days.

Whoo!Hoo!Don't you just love how the internet speeds up customer relations?

Anyway,,since I was on the verge of going to a paid account,(I have over 2000 pg views showing),maybe this will be a fortuitious unfortunate event if it reveals a flaw in their service.

I just hope I don't have to let all of what's in The Staks go static and start a new setup.That was a fair amount of work to just let hang there without being able to get/add to it.
