You need to try to get them to remove it, and if they won't, the whoever hosts the site, or something.<BR/><BR/>I hate this kind of thing; there is actually some pretty big money in doing this, and you'll notice alot of blogging hacks, blogger tips type blogs, or whatnot, have a bunch of ads. I surfed through a bunch over in India, this is a big thing there . . . . there's one site I saw that I might consider legitimately interested and legitimately active in providing content, instead of re-wording what one sees elsewhere, or worse, copying it.<BR/><BR/>The company/ceo that "owns" the blogs Gizmodo, Lifehacker, and some other well-known ones, actually does it as a business, hiring people to write stuff. These are alot more "legitimate" blogs, in the sense that I don't have the shady, edgy, sort of I contamination of slimy greediness by association factor I felt on a bunch of the Indian sites, as these sites by this CEO, actually provide useful info (in the case of alot of Lifehacker posts (I pick and choose what I like, though), that they search out, compile, come up with from scratch, pull together in ways that are often new (to me) or useful.<BR/><BR/>Anyhoo. It's been an interesting eye-opener for me, but also explains some of the "strange", something's "off" feel I get at some blogs sometimes, especially ones that I've gotten to by doing a google search or something.Sarebearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09208596053319110470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-72275109662506012092007-08-09T16:28:00.000-04:002007-08-09T16:28:00.000-04:00Dinah-You had me laughing all the way with you thr...Dinah-<BR/>You had me laughing all the way with you through your story.

My family and friends don't even want to talk to me the night before I work 3 12's in a row or if I'm even working 2 days in a row after being off for a couple days. I love my job, but the night before I go back, I get into this panic mode and get all moody and anxious! haha Even the other night - I had this project to work on, and the anxiety about doing it was keeping me from doing it - when I finally sat down, it wasn't bad at all! haha Story of my life....I'm the biggest procrastinator I know all because of my anxiety about doing things for various reasons! lol<BR/><BR/>Anyway - the trip sounds like a blast!! What's funny is that I don't remember being the "typical teenager" you describe here when I was growing up - but then, I don't think my brother was either, even though we are night and day from each other. I was always a dork - always interested in everything and wanting to learn new things. When I was going to England, I was looking for gifts to bring the kids from "America" and my mom was trying to help me figure out what to get. She was saying not just to get them a book or things about Philadelphia because they might not be "into that kind of stuff like you were." It was funny....I got them stuff I would have liked at that age, though, and they loved it! Those teenage years are tough....I'm always hearing nurses at work talk about their kids - now I'm getting anticipatory anxiety over someday having kids that will turn into teenagers!! lol (All kidding - I think kids are great....but teenagers are definitely the hardest to please! I know my future teenagers are going to see me as a huge dork/embarrassing! Oh well...)<BR/><BR/>Glad you are back, even if only momentarily!! Glad that rafting was so much fun!!<BR/><BR/>Take care,<BR/>Carrie :)NeoNurseChichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16120931307124798416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-9567409051683977242007-08-04T18:27:00.000-04:002007-08-04T18:27:00.000-04:00BREATHTAKING!

I've been to Montreal and some other areas, when I was a teenager (we lived in New York state at the time), but nothing like what I see in your pic; stunning!<BR/><BR/>Experiences I remember as boring or not worth it, as a teenager, I really appreciated later on, and still do. They'll remember it . . . .<BR/><BR/>I've been rafting on the Snake River up in Wyoming, whilst camping between Yellowstone and the Tetons. INCREDIBLE. There's nothing like it!!<BR/><BR/>I saw my first eagle in the wild, as we were on a more placid portion between rapids, an adolescent as it plummeted to the river to pluck out a thrashing fish in its talons, and soar away again.<BR/><BR/>Go, Dinah!Sarebearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09208596053319110470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-53557753647326630532007-08-04T13:40:00.000-04:002007-08-04T13:40:00.000-04:00Great story...I was having an anxiety attack just ...Great story...I was having an anxiety attack just reading it. That anticipatory anxiety is a daily occurence in my life. Just trying to get myself to leave the house and go grocery shopping, or do the things I know I need to do to get well, (like get to the pool or for a walk, or to my volunteer work), is so stress inducing.
