I promised to tell the tale (or should I say tail) of Babe-a pig in the city-wife number 3.
Babe was rather heavy set and when she lay on her belly in the grass her nephews would say she was the pig movie star.
Her parents were fantastic people and i have only good things to say of them.
Some of the rest of her family were -a little weird.
One sister had three children (she may have more now it was 10 years ago) from three husbands-but was never married. How could she do that, you ask? They were each married to someone at the time she conceived with them.
Another sister had a husband who worked for the US postal service. Every time I heard of one of the postal employees going nuts and shooting postal employees I would check to see if he was involved.
One of her brothers was an undertaker. When I was in hospital with a heart attack he came to visit in his working uniform when I was just recovering from the either. Imagine being not quite into it and this vision come up. I did survive, I think. (or perhaps I am really dead and no one told me)
Believe it or not,my current wife is as normal as anyone from Oklahoma can be. Dottie puts up with me.
If you think the stories of my ex-wives are something-remember they all get Sainthood because they had to live with me!!
Somehow I got three decent children out of all this. Two from wife number 1 and 1 from wife number 2. They are actually sort of normal.
Sorry I can’t come to the UK- I am just reading a post from the Telegraph that hay fever sufferers will not be given medicine/ or perhaps I will come over and sneeze on mad Pat.
As you can see, I have gotten over being banned by Yahoo.
I figure being banned puts me in good company. Nelson Mandella was banned in his native South Africa.

By looking at the questions they cut out (only the ones “How can I get Jeff Brown at All Headline News to pay what he owes me—)-they say on the page it was removed and no one answered (untrue I got several answers-including contacting Rip Off Report) also I have a friend who is a computer specialist- he did some of the Star Treck animation- who has contacts there. I am more upset about how they refuse to tell me why they did it and can just shut someone off at their whim. Then they complain of censorship. If you look at the QA you will find vulgar and racist and explicit foul language type sex questions (no problem with the legit sex questions-but some of these are more like porno in language) Jeff Brown had told me when I found a bunch of hard core porno photos listed under Mort Karman All Headline News (the way it was you would think you were clicking on a news story and up came the pix-it was very disturbing-my youngest daughter uses those listings to teach our granddaughter and grandson computer. The five year old girl clicks on what she thinks is one of grandpa Mort’s news stories and it is a good thing her mother was there to quickly shut off the photos) that he had good contacts at Yahooo and could get the filth removed. He eventually did.

How can you be sure that this is all related to Jeff Brown? I’m quite sure Yahoo won’t come after me… I don’t use any of their services regularly anyway.

But with this level of intrigue, I might advise avoiding sushi for a while…

Simon, the old investigative reporter in me got to work and I found out why I got booted from Yahoo. After I got shafted by Jeff Brown, owner of All Headline News and did not get paid I complained on several sites including yours, rip off report, AARP and Yahoo.Brown has good contacts at Yahoo and was able to use them to quiet my truthful, but damaging to him, comments. Only YAHOO HAS DONE THIS. I have been led to understand AHN and Jeff Brown are under investigation by several state and federal agencies -need I say more. It appears, you can be a crooked Internet scam artist and get away with it if you make money for big brother Yahoo. There has to be some kind of control over this kind of thing.I hope the Yahoo Nazis do not come after you for publishing my rantings.

I have just gotten an e-mail from the Internet Nazis over at Yahoo. They tell me they can not reinstate me. They also say I can not even look over my past writings,let alone give me an explanation of why they suspended me. THEY have spoken!! The Yahoo gods have decreed I be banned forever from their QA. If I did not have this happen to myself I would not have believed it. No warning, no explanation, just the firing squad. If I am not sent to Gitmo or poisoned with a umbrella I will continue to write for this blog. I feel like one of the poor detainees who are not allowed to even know why they are arrested because of “national security.” I did not think an American company could do this. They then bitch about Internet freedom. Big brother has arrived and he is YAHOO.

The Yahoo police are going to take me away and force me to have sex with my first wife!! This is worse then Gitmo or Abu Garib.
And I still don’t know what I did. Perhaps the Bush administration is now running Yahoo. Oh, well. The truth is I don’t give a Google what they do. If they can’t even tell me what terrible criminal act I have committed, yet they keep that All Headline News on line, I don’t want to be associated with them. But it does present a big brother situation when someone or some entity can keep you off the Internet without even an explanation of why. If they say so-it is so. Perhaps the Internet Nazis have won.

Congratulations on not being quite such a terrible criminal as you first thought… but bad luck about not being able to post on there. You must have done something truly awful.

I’m more than happy to host your ramblings… they always raise a smile!

Since I have gotten no reply from Yahoo except a form e-mail thanking me for helping to correct problems with Yahoo Answers I guess they will not hall me off to prison in Cuba or Iraq. But they will not let me ask or answer questions on their site, either. I guess you will have to be stuck with my ramblings. And they complain of censorship in China!!

Simon, I just want to tell you that you are now accepting the e-mail ramblings of a desperate criminal who is so bad he does not even know what crime he committed.
Yahoo has sent me a notice I have been suspended from there QA for some unspeakable crime. Apparently the crime is so unspeakable they will not speak about it.
I have no idea what they are talking about or even what they consider something I have done as so horrendous they suspend me.
How am I supposed to correct something I have no way of knowing I am not supposed to do.
I have been a journalist for almost 50 years and this is the first time something like this has happened to me.
Why is big (Yahoo) brother out to get me?
Are they going to knock on (or break down) my door in the early hours and drag me away to Gitmo or Abu Garib prison?
I wish I could tell you more, but I have no idea what is going on.
