Picking up the pieces

I have been pre-occupied for a while what with a new grandson and another granddaughter on the way ... the dog has been ill, the cats are fine but me ... I've been exhausted. However I thought it was time to get back and see what has been going on in the world of eejits! I thought I would start with a quick look at Stormfront. Always a good way of getting a feeling for what is going on in that paranoia fuelled hate filled world of WN. Would you Adam and Eve it? The first thing I come across is Jack Black ... He has been, or so he states, banned from PayPal.

According to Jack Black he recieved the following from those wizards of internet banking:
After a recent review of your account, it has been determined that you are currently in violation of Pay_Pals Acceptable Use Policy. Under the Acceptable Use Policy Pay_Pal may not be used to send or recieve payments for items that promote hate, violence, racial intolerance or the financial exploitation of a crime.

In view, probably of the not too long ago 'outing' of Jack Black by Lee Barnes Jackie boy has decided to take the following view:

This little reverse occurs just a bit too close to the Barnes blog nastiness to be a coincidence, I reckon. Whether he, or other interested a***holes, contacted Pay_Pal direct or Barnes' actions got the powers-that-be to pay me more attention I don't know, but I'm 99% sure that my current disenfranchisement is down to him at some level. And, of course, if my 99% certainty happens to be spot on, the buck stops with Griffin

Tameron is here!

These have been a few stressful weeks and no mistake. My youngest daughter has always had a tendency to follow a beat no one but she can hear and it seems my youngest grandson is following very firmly in his mother’s footsteps. I reckon if I step in my car, clad in my nightdress, slippers and dressing gown … the engine will switch itself on and just head for the local maternity ward without being asked. But he is finally here!

And worth all the ‘dry-runs’ and every hair raising dash we’ve been through; the whole 7lb 6oz of unadulterated, sweet-smelling bundle of delightful promise, potential and wonder of him.

UPDATE!

We’ve had a bit of a scare as well as he had to be delivered by emergency C-section. My daughter caught an infection and things were rather hairy for a while. She has finally been given the all clear and so we should all be able to get back to normal before long. Tameron is doing well … he is now three weeks old and a healthy 10lb and I swear that was a social smile he gave me yesterday. And you can say it was just wind all you like. I stand by the social smile!
