O.k. the reunion show for I Love New York just went off and Tailor Made proposed to New York. She said yes. Ezra and David were looking tight as all get out. They said that New York was not ready for real black men, and I agree. She looked very happy with Tailor Made. Apparently they moved in together three days after she selected him in Jamaica. Oh, yeah and Mr. Wise tried to attack Tailor Made on the show. Ms. Patterson had it out with the Entertainer’s mom. Tiffany literally showed her backside. There will not be a I Love New York 3. I just hope that Ezra and David get their own shows. That would be cool.

Oh my goodness! For the last several days, I have been visiting my parents in sunny Florida. Although they do have a computer, Thank Goodness; they have the slowest internet connection on earth. They use a dial-up connection. I’m not a patient person. Using their slow internet computer connection is like torture. My surfing experience goes something like this: I click on a link. The little bar thing moves to a half of a square. I go get something to drink. The bar moves to a full square. The internet connection is so slow that it makes me want to run screaming from the room. I chastise my dog for wanting to go out when I’m trying to surf. The page appears to have frozen, so I let him go outside. I watch him run. We go inside, the bar has now moved to the second square. My mother asks me how long I’m going to be on the computer. It’ll probably take me a week to load one page. I give up.
Most work at home jobs which require you to use a computer expect you to have a high speed connection. There are a few that don’t require high speed. You will certainly get more work at home opportunities if you do have a high speed connection, though. You have to make sure that you will be earning enough to pay for the connection. The companies usually require you to have your own equipment.

December 23, 2005 was the day that I was banned from Adsense. I remember it like it was yesterday! I was in Miami, relaxing with my family when I decided to check my Google account. I’d only had my adsense account for about two months, and I was accustomed to checking my account every other day. I was so excited when I had a few cents added to my account.
Hark! When I attempted to log-in my password didn’t work. That was strange. I checked my e-mail and found a message stating that my adsennse account had been closed due to suspicious clicking on ads. I had been banned from Adsense. Now, I had spent two days on the road to visit family, and I hadn’t updated my blog for another couple of days while I prepared for the holidays. So how could I possibly be banned from Adsense? The funny thing is that I also didn’t tell any of my family and friends about adsense. I made sure that I read the terms of service so I knew that asking people to click on ads was against Google’s rules.
I knew that they had made a mistake. The ban from Adsense would certainly be lifted and I would be reinstanted. I sent them an e-mail to Google. I received no response at all. At the time, I couldn’t find any other way to contact Google. The bad thing is that when you are banned from Adsense you are banned for life. They may even ban your friends from acquiring an Adsense account. They keep your personal data on file. I have heard of people getting another adsense account by signing up using a different computer and using a different home address. I don’t think that’s the right thing to do. These days, they do have a contact form that you can use for disputes. Today, they do have a contact form that you can use for disputes. I completed the form three times (at least) and received no response. If you are banned from Adsense, there is definitely life after Google.
Here is an ad preview tool to take a look at the ads that served by Google.
This contextual preview tool helps compare ads served by Yahoo, Google, and Chitika.
Try using the following alternatives:
Yahoo Publisher’s Network
Chitika Mall
Here is a tutorial for using Chitika, just in case you are interested in seeing how it works.

I hope that you all have a happy holiday with your friends and family. You should not be working from home today. Take a break. You deserve it. You are welcome to send me your holiday wishes through a comment. Hint. Hint. Hint. That’s all that I have to say.

When it comes to technology and kids, things are getting out of control. We certainly live in a different world. I remember when I was in high school, the thought of going to school online sounded like something straight out of Star Trek! Not only can we go to school online, but we can work at home through an online job! Now, it seems as though children are speaking an entirely different language! I was watching an entertainment show the other day, and the interviewer asked Will Smith’s daughter what she wanted for Christmas. She said that she wanted an IPhone. I think that she’s 7 years old!

It’s official. Tiffany Pollard of I Love New York 2 is a nut; she actually chose Tailor Made over the Ezra Masters AKA Buddha the Adonis. He is so handsome; I’m glad that she didn’t choose him. Maybe I’ll meet up with Ezra in Miami during Christmas break. One can dream… Anyway, Tailor Made proposed to New York and although she didn’t accept the proposal. She liked the way that he went all out for her. She said that she may accept in about two years. A lot could happen in that time, though! Buddha, or Ezra Masters is THE man. He doesn’t let Tiffany push him around. And he’s smart. Well, he is relatively smart. He was on I love New York. Maybe he’s just ambitions. Who cares! Did I mention that he is fine as all get out? Tiffany needed someone who would do as she wanted him to do. Of course, I don’t believe that she’s actually with Tailor Made. The whole thing is probably rigged for all I know. Hey, Ezra, e-mail me! I’m waiting. LOL.
