Note, no names, or the specific name of the person's blog is mentioned here within. Anything copied is in quotations showing it is not my work or words. I cannot cite my source in this case, because it may be against terms of service.
Locations editted out by use of asterik, to prevent advertising.
There was a blog here on the 20th..advertising an
event, copied and quoted here.
"Hosting workshop"
"8/20/2005 8:59 am
Hosting workshop at a popular S&M Club in **********
in Mid October.
Anyone who would like to attend, send me an Email."
Seemed like quite the advertisement, but it was
allowed in blogs.
Wednesday, another one appeared, much more descriptive
had the name Party in it..oh yes.."PARTY SEASON"
"8/24/2005 12:19 pm"
"[post a] Three up and coming Events: Holding
munch in mid September exact date and location to be
announced very soon. October 14th Im hosting work
shop at a popular S&M Club in **********. November
26th Im hosting a private party also at the popular
S&M Club in *********. Send me an Email for additional
information."
Guess it didn't pass the advertisement term of
service..cause gee, now the 24ths "party season" has a
new title ..something to do with "up and coming"
events. The time and date stamps are identical on
both, showing the editing done.
A blog title change to go around a removal???
That's character.
This person copied a joke over the blog from the 20th, but the comment from someone saying "If only, I lived in NY, *sigh*.
Have fun! Let me know how it goes." remained, quite inappropriate in reply to the newly posted joke.
A quick look at the times proves the editing a joke over the workshop blog:
"8/20/2005 8:59 am"
[post a] "Money Talks!"
"Money Talks!"
"During the wedding rehearsal, the groom approached the
pastor with an unusual offer:
"Look, I'll give you $100 if you'll change the wedding
vows. When you get to the part where I'm supposed to
promise to 'love, honor and obey' and 'be faithful to
her forever,' I'd appreciate it if you'd just leave
that out."
He passed the minister a $100 bill and walked away
satisfied.
On the day of the wedding, when it came time for the
groom's vows, the pastor looked the young man in the
eye and said: "Will you promise to prostrate yourself
before her, obey her every command and wish, serve her
breakfast in bed every morning of your life, and swear
eternally before God and your lovely wife that you
will not ever even look at another woman, as long as
you both shall live?"
The groom gulped and looked around, and said in a tiny
voice, "Yes," then leaned toward the pastor and
hissed: "I thought we had a deal."
The pastor put a $100 bill into the groom's hand and
whispered: "She made me a better offer."
From Jokes One"
The comment from someone wanting to go is now posted right beneath this.
Now I guess some people think we are all stupid and wont see these things..but they are noticed.
I can't take credit for all of this. One person
noticed it, another sent me their mail from here
stating the 'powers that be' had removed the "Party" blog.
I have saved all copies of the blogs, as I expect a fast deletion.
I may get banned again for blogging the truth, which would show unfairness, as I took great care with my wording.
In the end its worth it.
Silence is not always taking the high road..sometimes its simply hiding.

My turn to speak

Yeah, I am back...again, after my shortlived
reinstatement wednesday.
Guess what!! The person who notified Alt I was
violating a term of service..gee, right after Ren's blog that I was back got posted, didn't realize I was at work and couldn't log in.
I got the email reinstating me to my general email addy while at work, and notified a few Alt friends by email while on break. Thus came Rens blog "SPECIAL ALERT!!!!! READ ALL ABOUT IT!!!!!!."
Alt is blocked at work.
So, finally, a chance to sign in, and check the account, ready to send a thank you blog..only to find its once again blocked. I emailed Alt only to find I was once again banned, turned in for violating a term of service, that is not going to be named here...when in fact, a check of my log in history exonerated me quickly. My
account, until right now, has not been entered since the original ban. That was the point Renegade1313 was stressing in his follow up blog called "WHAT THE F*** IS GOING ON HERE?!?!?!?!?!?"
I simply couldn't have done what I was accused of.
I have asked Alt to look into who reported me falsely, believing I had logged in and they could say I did something I didn't...
I was assured it is being looked into.
Eventually, they slip up, and did this time.
So, to those who believe Guv and I were not targeted, think again.
I have been through hell and back with this..as has Guv, simply wanting to clear our names. Neither one of us would take up another profile to do it, despite attempts to make people believe Guv had, by some.
In the future there may be a couples profile for us, so stay tuned. We haven't given up.
Did I violate policy by naming names in my original blogs? Yes. I'll be the first to say I did. They were truthful and informative, and I took the risk of being banned, and was.
Alt has now removed my last 2 blogs. I have saved the originals.
What has happened since has had nothing to do with those blogs, as I removed the names from them, thus complying with "Terms of Service" straight off, that same day, when I was contacted by Alt about my violation.
Does Alt play fair? No. There are blogs out there
naming specific members, saying derogatory things that are opinion vs fact w/ proof.
What will I do now?
Stop by sometimes to say hi, and blog, well, atleast until the next ban. (said tongue in cheek)
Laugh with my friends, pray for those in need, rejoice in good news posted, smile at new couplings, etc.
Remember whats really important.
Continue to thank God for my many blessings, maintain my dignity, and act with honesty in all things.
Continue to remember many friends I met here fondly.
Marry Guv and live happily ever after. *cheeky grin*
Take care of my health issues.
Whine "the collar is too tight, Sir."..often. *lol*
Stay out of certain blogs, and make sure they stay out of mine. While I won't remove posts, I will take care to make some don't appear. I want my visits here to be pleasant.
My profile will be turned off (by me this time-
woohoo!) to assure no one can mail me here.
What won't I do?
I will not be going to the Magazine to give advice (or vote), though I will continue to read its contents.
I will not be mailing anyone (member) here at Alt, period.
And, I won't be discussing this again, outside of this blog post, IM, or private email.
I won't let anything ruin my happiness or
friendships...
I will try not respond to attack style posts/blogs again. I managed this long *s* since B-Day. (Ban-day..or is that ban-day-day? ban-dos-day *lol*..you get the point.)
Now for the important stuff...YAY!
I have some very important people to thank for their support.
Guv..you are my rock, my joy. Your shoulders seem to broaden in direct proportion to my need of them. I love you.
foulmama..my dearest friend. I love you. You keep me sane, make me think, not simply react.
Renegade..your support has meant the world to
me..us. I have read some of the things you have been up against, and your belief in us never
waivered..thank you.
WW.. you were there for us...thank you.
ordeur...I wish I could meet you over coffee. You are a dear soul, and in my thoughts often. thanks.
VeryLeggyRedhead..thanks for your open support of us. You jumped right in.
bodski, Lilith, MollyMac,Dstigmatta9, SexyRedheadforU, MyLady31..I read your words and can't thank you enough for them.
mystic_temptress..dang, y'all got a go at being banned too. Wish I could hug you. thanks.
To all who wrote to Alt or posted on a blog about us, thank you. Guv and I probably don't even know some of you, but we are so grateful for all you did to try to help.
If you simply remembered us kindly, wondered about what happened, thank you, too.
Okay..this is long..but it may be my only chance..and you know, having had my say here, now...that would be ok.

A blog Poll for the D/s, M/s community

Bodski had a blog up for subs about fear.
"Question For Submissives
if your dom takes your fears away will you miss them ?"
Most replied they enjoyed fear. I was kinda the odd sub out.
I said:
"No.
The fears he takes away help make me feel safe and secure. I don't need to feel fear to feel excitement."
So, with thanks to Bodski for the idea, my poll to all is this. (You do not need to be in a current relationship, and there is no right or wrong answer...this is for discussion only)
For the Tops/Masters/Mistresses/Dom's/Domme's:
Is it more important for your sub/slave/bottom to fear you, or feel safe with you, and why?
For the bottoms/subs/slaves:
Which do you crave more, the element of fear, or safety with your Top/Master/Mistress, and why?

I posted this in rants & raves on the Magazine page once titled "Wondering", but it seems fitting here, too.
"How many times can folks have posts, blogs, and others responses pulled before it reflects on their character?
All we have is peoples words here. If you remove them, isn't that the(online) equivalent of not standing behind your words?"
I know that people have the right to censor their own blogs, removing replies they don't like. But when you remove every word that disagrees with you, it seems more ego driven than anything. When people are joined in large numbers, there is always going to be many views and opinions, and not all will agree.
Why not simply calmly state your views in reply to comments rather than appear weak by hiding through comment removal?
Especially when not all replies are controversial.
Everyone has the right to an opinion and to post/speak it.
Stand up for what you think...don't run from it.
We have to deal with Alt censorship at times...thats bad enough.
I will never ever remove any words I write here or anywhere in Alt. I will apologize and eat crow when I need too, and have. Publically.
Wondering what others think? Deal with comments or delete like they never existed?

Update, thanks, and I miss you Guv

I'm not really back, just feeling so achingly empty and blue today.
Guv will be getting on a plane late this afternoon to return to England, is enroute to O'Hare now...and I am already lost without him. These past weeks have been so wonderful.
I haven't cried this much in a long time.
I know he's coming back...and it will be for good, but my head isn't listening to my heart. Doubts creep in, and it shames me to admit it.
Guv, I love you, and miss you.
I am lost and empty without you.
Thank you for coming, and making these past weeks such a happy time. I am yours, and am so excited to think of our future together, and upcoming collaring.
It will be hard to be patient, and not let doubts creep in. Please bear with me.
Thank you to everyone who read and/or responded to my last blog. I was touched by the outpouring of warmth and caring from all of you.
Mama has kept me up to date on things here, and told me that many have asked about me. She keeps me sane when fear overwhelms me. Holds me when I cry despite being a half a country away.
Do you all know how absolutely special and wonderful she is?
And for the update: The lesions cells are abnormal, and have not been definitively noted to be cancerous or pre-cancerous. I am being treated medicinally, and go back for another EGD/scoping in about 7 weeks, at which time they will check the size of the lesion, and take more biopsies. Then we go from there.
If anyone has a spare...can I have a hug?

I had simply shut off my blog and profile.
But I have many friends here who deserve to know why I have up and fled.
I would like to say it's simply to spend time with Guv, and thats a large part of it. An issue has come up that we need to see if we can overcome.
But mostly, it's the EGD results. I have a 7cm lesion...and am waiting to hear if it is pre cancer, or cancer, and what my options are.
Right now, I simply have too much on my plate to be here. I'll miss everyone.
In no order, and I'm sorry if i missed you:
foulmama, I adore you. you are my rock. thank you for being you, for being there for me through thick and thin. you are, without a doubt the best friend i have here, and maybe in r/t too. I can tell you anything, and can count on a shoulder and hug. I am so blessed to know you. I love you.
r_diva..keep dreaming, beautiful.
Mollena...keep writing, you are an amazing woman.
ordeur: keep being your sweet self.
starlet: i love reading you..i'll miss it.
starlene: the growth i have seen in you is wonderful.
Eagle: keep your feet firmly planted. You're a great guy.
S_she_S, submarinar: keep speaking your mind! I love how you think.
mixtrixc, lillith, themoodimin, deepbluenothing, bbwsub21: i wish i had gotten to know you better.
plan on it on my return?
Renegade: I may not agree with your choices always, but I wish you happiness always. Enjoy your time off with your son.
zeyzel, bodski, ellikat, Shebaby, UTMaster
TCguy, Hazed Green, Ms S, Violently, Kris Leathers, rosiered, Mikayla, BK raven, hoppy, jbig, FOK: i didn't comment much, but i enjoyed reading your blogs and comments.
Wistful Wench: *laughs* i used to think you wanted Guv (he had you in his network)..now I simply think you are wonderful.
Delphis: I don't agree with your thoughts much, but respect your openness and right to have them.
Lord Omega, MistressKM: reading your posts/Advice...thank you for sharing your knowledge.
OregonJan: You write great stories, and seem to enjoy your very hectic life. All the best to you, in whatever path you choose.
To all who share themselves here and in the pages of the Magazine...it has been a pleasure reading and knowing a small part of you.
Guv: what can I say...were facing a rough patch, but I love you, and am so thankful you have been here for me. I'd like to think we can work through anything. It's hard to just let someone love me, and not resist it.
We have more than 2 weeks left...I plan on it being our best times yet, and leave us both looking to the future, together.
Space is what I want..trying not to shut out those I love right now will be a struggle for me.
Peace...out.

stormsclouds in the day, and thunder at night

I didn't get the expected news from the EGD, but I did get a diagnosis that can be dealt with over time.
I did have a jaw dropping moment when the nurse asked who he was in relation to me, and he replied "her fiance"
Guv didn't even mind when I snuggled closer in the night as a storm swept through. I don't know why I get nervous during a mid summers night thunder storm. Ahhh, I guess I do. A tornado went within 2 blocks of my house 13 yrs ago. It's not something you ever forget.
And it was so nice to be not have to be strong. I could be afraid and wasn't made to feel silly.
I came home to cook and check on things at home this morn...now, off I go to make the best of today.
Just being with him makes me so happy.
Have a wonderful day, folks!

Guv is picking me up in a few hours, and were off to MMC so I can have an EGD. A bleeding duodenal ulcer is expected to be the cause of my sudden anemia, low potassium, and belly pain that started last week.
It's wonderful he wants to go with me. He is wonderful. It hasn't been all roses and candle light dinners since he came. It's been a marriage of for better or worse. (He's the better, I am the worse. *s*)
Communication is much different face to face than on the phone and computer. But we are together 7 months, and both committed to working out the bugs, and have nearly 3 more weeks to do it.
I look at him, and think...how did I get so lucky?
Knowing I have a teen at home, staying here was never an issue...he found a place to stay long term while we adjusted to each other.
When I work, he finds things to do...people are just drawn to him, and he has garnered us an invite to dinner with another couple for this evening.
When I am tired after work, knowing I sleep days and am up nights, he cuddles and rubs me as I doze. He calls me on the drive to work, once mid shift (waking in the middle of the night to do so), and on the way home to say he loves me. Hearing his voice makes me so happy....I go around with a silly grin.
He eats what I cook, and tells me its delicious, even if its not the food he's used to, or even likes.
It's an adjustment. We knew it would be.
But its also more wonderful than I could have imagined.
Thank you God, for bringing him into my life.

Through childrens eyes: Love is

Slow down to read this. It is so worth it. I got this is my email over the weekend. The last one had me all choked up.
Much love to all,
Nan
Touching words from the mouth of babes.
What does Love mean?
A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, "What does love mean?"
The answers they got were broader and deeper than
anyone could have imagined. See what you think:
-------------------------------------------------
"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore.
So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love."
Rebecca- age 8
-------------------------------------------------
"When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different.
You just know that your name is safe in their mouth."
Billy - age 4
-------------------------------------------------
"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other."
Karl - age 5
-------------------------------------------------
"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs."
Chrissy - age 6
-------------------------------------------------
"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired."
Terri - age 4
-------------------------------------------------
"Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK."
Danny - age 7
-------------------------------------------------
"Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more.
My Mommy and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss"
Emily - age 8
-------------------------------------------------
"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen."
Bobby - age 7
-------------------------------------------------
"If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate,"
Nikka - age 6
-------------------------------------------------
"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday."
Noelle - age 7
-------------------------------------------------
"Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well."
Tommy - age 6
-------------------------------------------------
"During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling.
He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared
anymore."
Cindy - age 8
-------------------------------------------------
"My mommy loves me more than anybody . You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night."
Clare - age 6
-------------------------------------------------
"Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of
chicken."
Elaine-age 5
-------------------------------------------------
"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford."
Chris - age 7
-------------------------------------------------
"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day."
Mary Ann - age 4
-------------------------------------------------
"I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones."
Lauren - age 4
-------------------------------------------------
"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you."
Karen - age 7
-------------------------------------------------
"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross."
Mark - age 6
-------------------------------------------------
"You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget."
Jessica - age 8
-------------------------------------------------
And the final one -- Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge.
The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child.
The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife.
Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.
When his Mother asked what he had said to the
neighbor, the little boy said,
"Nothing, I just helped him cry"
