Violated

every now and then when I awaken early, and do not ought to get away from bed simply but, i will use my iPhone to check my email. which is what i used to be doing this morning after I study an emailfrom a reader who stated that someone had stolen pictures from my blog and changed into the usage of them in an advertisement.

She had taken display shots (awesome) and sent them to me with links to where the ad was. i used to be SO dissatisfied. It turned into my before and after photo, as an ad on a person's site. Following the links, there have been definitely three separate parties that have been taking advantage of my pictures.

My immediately knee-jerk reaction was "Ohmygod, I need to delete my weblog!" Of route, that changed into overreacting, but I simply felt very violated. I showed Jerry, and i started out crying. He advised me he'd get the children prepared for school, so I should start working on the problem. there has been no way i used to be just going to let it move! and that i knew I wouldn't be able to concentrate on something until i'd performed what I may want to approximately the hassle.

I sent e-e mails to all three events. The supply of the trouble became surely a Blogger weblog. some guy took my picture, eliminated the watermarks, and posted it on his website online as "tremendous ameliorations" or something. Then he bought it to an ad enterprise, who made an advert linking to his website online. The ad become also on their internet site, mentioning "You might not consider how her frame appears now!" to get human beings to click on. And that advert was of their community, meaning it can show up on all kinds of blogs and web sites.

The authentic Blogger weblog owner eliminated it inside about five hours when I sent email. The advert organisation still has it up, however, and i'm pissed. i'm now not going to link to them, due to the fact they earn money on every occasion someone views their website, so the remaining element I want to do is provide them visitors. equal aspect with the Blogger blog proprietor--he had heaps of commercials on his web page, so each time a person perspectives it, he's making money.

anyway, i'm running on filing a formal grievance approximately the advert enterprise. in the intervening time, i am feeling disenchanted that this took place. I know that it happens all the time, but it still sucks while it happens to you.


This afternoon, I decided to visit Kohl's to spend a present card and Kohl's cash. I virtually wished a new bra, and while i was there, I looked at all the clearanced pajamas. they had a whole bunch of the Vera Wang series on clearance for less than $10 every--that's remarkable cheap! I usually only get the ones when my mom buys them for me for my birthday or Christmas ;)

This isn't from the fly attack today, but I have
no pictures of it to share, unfortunately
when I were given home, I noticed Estelle chasing a fly within the residence--not anything unusual. I watched her for a minute, and then noticed something very unusual. There were flies everywhere! looking at the window, I counted 14 flies. I called Jerry in, and he could not agree with it either. I went to the again sliding glass door, and counted some other 10-15 flies there.

This become SO ordinary. The home windows within the house were all closed, and there were not any flies around before I left for Kohl's. all of them just got here out of nowhere. I grabbed the flyswatter from beneath the sink, and started out swatting. The flies have been dropping like... nicely, flies. I began counting, and misplaced matter at 30. whenever I concept i might gotten them all, there was every other buzzing around.

Jerry and that i searched the house, questioning where inside the hell the flies came from, however we have been clueless. Our house is not dirty or gross, so I don't have any concept in which this stuff came from. we'd by no means seen anything like this earlier than! Jerry and that i have been killing all of the flies (well, i was killing, he become following with a paper towel to pick out up the useless ones), and he stated, "I sense like i'm on an episode of Hoarders!" Hahaha, it truly is precisely how I felt too.

We killed (maximum of) the flies, however Jerry went and were given a few fly paper from the shop just in case. That stuff is messy. And we haven't gotten a single fly with it. it is bugging us each (pun definitely intended) about where the silly flies got here from inside the first vicinity!
