SAN JOSE, Calif. (Feb. 2) - EBay deleted several items billed as debris from the space shuttle Columbia from the online auction site Saturday, warning that anyone attempting to sell fragments from the doomed shuttle could be prosecuted.
EBay spokesman Kevin Pursglove said customer service representatives received a handful of listings throughout the day from people purporting to have found debris in Texas.
The listings were immediately yanked from the site, and executives may report the sellers to federal authorities.
Taking a part of an aircraft involved in an accident is a federal offense, U.S. attorneys in Texas warned, and a conviction could result in up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
Debris from the space shuttle was spread over a large swath Texas and Louisiana and residents reported finding chunks of it.
It's unclear what kind of debris was listed on eBay, but Pursglove said that many of the items were likely pranks.
The San Jose-based company has become a barometer of pop culture and current events, with listings such as World Series paraphernalia surging during the baseball championships. But eBay must also deal with morbid postings and attempts to capitalize on human tragedy, and it frequently pulls items.
''Over the years we have learned to keep an eye out for individuals who might want to list items once a tragic event has occurred, the best example being pieces of the World Trade Center and Pentagon,'' Pursglove said, referring to the targets of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
EBay recorded a small increase Saturday in the number of listings for Columbia memorabilia, including coins, mission patches and even one listing for the official vertical stabilizers used in earlier voyages. Collectibles related to NASA's space program are perennially popular, Pursglove said.

The question of whether or not there is a God or truth or reality,
or whatever you like to call it, can never be answered by books,
priests, philosophers, or saviours.
Nobody and nothing can answer the question but you yourself
and that is why you must know yourself.
Immaturity lies only in total ignorance of self.
To understand yourself is the beginning of wisdom.

Well HELLO ! Its been awhile my friends. I so appologize for the delay.
Some of you may know this already and to others this may come as no surprise, I was terminated from my employer.
I was up for a promotion and my forms were kicked back. I called them on it and 2 days later I was gone.
Nice. So here I sit, posting resumes like spam email and porn. I did receive a call from GEICO on Friday, and somehow my resume made it from Arizona to New York. Hmmmm..... my dreams of living in NY may be closer than I thought....
I also applied for unemployment this morning and have submitted a complaint to the Arizona Civil Rights, they were very interested in the story I had shared with them, as well as the documentation and audio tapes which I was fortunate enough to be able to provide in ref. to all the alleged violations of this employer to my civil rights, etc. So wish me luck in my searching endeavors.... I love you all.
talk to you later, ~me

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (Jan. 23) -- Nell Carter, who played the stout, sassy housekeeper on the 1980s sitcom ''Gimme a Break!'' and won a Tony Award in 1978 for her sultry turn in the Broadway musical ''Ain't Misbehavin','' died Thursday at 54.
The singer-actress collapsed in her Beverly Hills home and was found by one of her 13-year-old sons, spokesman Roger Lane said. The cause of death was not immediately known.
Carter had suffered from diabetes for years, Lane said, and she underwent two brain operations in 1992 to fix aneurysms. She recovered and continued to perform, mostly on stage.
At the time of her death, Carter was in rehearsals at a Long Beach theater for ''Raisin,'' a musical version of ''Raisin in the Sun.'' That show was set to run from Feb. 7 to March 9, and is expected to continue with a replacement.
Shashin Desai, co-director of the show with his wife, Karen, said he felt like ''the roof caved in'' when he heard about Carter's death. ''It wasn't for the money that she was doing the show, it was for the passion and love of the piece,'' he said.
Blessed with a big voice and strong stage presence despite her 4-foot-11 height, the heavyset Carter prided herself on her range as a performer, doing musicals and drama as well as comedy.
''She was a pioneer in many ways,'' said fellow Tony winner Audra McDonald. ''She had the ability to be such an incredible comedic musical-theater actress, blow a song all the way to the back of the wall and then come down and be so intimate and beautiful in a ballad.''
In addition to her Tony for ''Ain't Misbehavin,''' Carter received an Emmy in 1982 for a TV broadcast of the show, which was a revue of Fats Waller songs. Her quietly soulful number ''Mean to Me'' was a show highlight.
Carter garnered two more Emmy nominations in 1982 and 1983 for ''Gimme a Break!,'' playing a housekeeper to a family headed by a widower who was the town police chief. The show ran from 1981 to 1987. In 1985, an episode was broadcast live - the first for a situation comedy in nearly 30 years.
Carter also played the cruel orphanage operator Miss Hannigan in the 1997 revival of ''Annie'' and appeared in the movies ''The Grass Harp'' (1995), ''Modern Problems'' (1981) and ''Hair'' (1979).
Carter grew up in Birmingham, Ala., singing in her church choir. She sang on the gospel circuit before moving on to coffeehouses and nightclubs. She longed to sing opera, then aspired to be a belter.
From early in her career until the mid-1980s, Carter struggled with alcohol and drugs, eventually shaking her addictions through a 12-step program.
Carter was married and divorced twice. She is survived by her two sons and a daughter.

Tuesday -
Nice day to hear from friends, Im grateful to know the people that are in my life, or that I have come across over the years. Have still been busy as ususal. Everyone knows the name GEICO right? Well they are sending a call center to Tucson. They will begin by hiring 300 people by the end of this month and will aquire around 1000 before they are operating at capacity. Alot of agents and staff at UPS have already faxed in resumes. I think I will wait, as I just got comfortable and things just seem as they should be. With the coming of GEICO, I may be able to use this loss of our staff to my advantage to move into a position I am more qualified for. Who knows. I will reach for that.
Nice talking to Jeffrey and Stacey and Cliff today. Just wanted to mention that.
Woke up early and started working on the computer, sending photos to West Virginia and Seattle. Radika and Melissa photgraphed well and I did not want to forget to email them the photos I took. While I worked on that Stacey and chatted and I shared some mp3's with her. I think she enjoyed that. I also started saving images into files for the upcoming my photography page, that I hope to unveil soon :) Not sure what to expect but I have heard alot of positive remarks from many people across the US thus far. Its nice to have that kind of response even from people I dont know, who's friends or family have shared these images. So - I will keep on shooting and sharing.
Im guessing Stacey went to lunch, it got kinda quiet in here... I am rambling now, so I will be signing off, time to give Chance the dog a bath, Kira went to the beauty parlor yesterday. She loved it. - talk to you later as the day develops..... ~me

Well hi there !
Where should I start ?? What do you want to know ??
Where have I been lately - working, entertaining friends, and resting.... taking a break from the computer for a while, it was long overdue. I hope you can forgive me, by the looks of the counters on the pages it doesnt look like anyone missed much as no one has been visisting anyway.
Last night I went to this model search event at Embassy Suites.... Out of about 400 people they selected 80. I was one of them. It was a fun experience, but I think what bothers me the most is the sneaky way they gather up all of your personal information. Towards the end of the event we learned that the company was in fact not a modeling or talent agency, rather, a photography and marketing company. I was deceived. Not that it hasnt happened before, I just thought I was smarter and wiser about it now. The event was 6.5 hours long. I had to spend $3 to get in the 2nd event. Then a 3 hour interview and discussion group explaining the services.
They wait until the last, and I mean the last statement of the night to announce the cost. $600 due Sunday before the final photo shoot. The $600 covers the photography, the training, the portfolio, and the marketing of your image.
Maybe next time.
So that was yesterday.
Today I went to my photo development studio to pick up my Christmas pictures. They are not in yet!! DAMNIT!
I really want to get these images out to you and distribute to those that requested a copy. They have had my 8 rolls since the 30th of Dec. Thats long enough!!
So- on another note, I have this dilema - why is it that when I meet a man they always take the relation to serious to soon. I wish I could figure that out. Then Im the one feeling guilty or shamed...... thats not right.
Im going to leave it at that.....
I have been trying to quit smoking, I bought that patch, had the house steam cleaned.... and Liz refuses to honor my request to smoke outside. I hate her, she has no respect for anyone not even herself. I will be moving out.
Enough is Enough. Over a year now and no respect. My furniture is being destroyed she eats on it, she writes her bills on the soft wood, she does her nails on them, and spills, leaves soda rings etc. I cant stand it anymore.
When the landlord is ready for us to re new our lease im going month to month. I have to get away from her to save what is left of our friendship. Its been 15 years now, and this is the worst it has ever been.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MEN -
--- that damn phone is ringing and ringing, I cant stand that either. I never call someone 19 times in less than 24 hours.
--- what the hell. I dont know what to do or say, im not the confrontational kind of guy, I say it once nicely and thats it, after that I get mad and shut down. And then thats it, cut off. Then I feel like the bad guy. And then they cry. I hate that. OH what to do what to do.- Stacey your the only one who knows who and what im talking about.
I would never want to post anything that would hurt someone or cause them pain. But over the years its always the same, the other guy always falls for me harder than I fall for him.... Or the attraction just isnt as mutual..
Maybe I'll have to more to write about later....... thanks for stopping by and continuing to support the saga that is my life :) ~ love you all.... me

HELLO! and Happy New Year to you all !
What an exciting two weeks it has been. With the arrival of my sister from Seattle, to Emily from South Carolina now sporting a child in the womb. Radika from West Virginia was also here! I can't recall a time when I was soooo busy.
So how was your holiday??
Five Fun Facts is still not complete. The extra 20 minutes to sit down here and work have just not been available. But Monday it will be up, its been a slow go! So much to write about & no idea where to begin.
I spent way to much money the last week or so ! All of my Christmas funds are now depleted.... but It was worth it.
Had company last night, set a beautiful table and had a great New Years Day dinner, Liz and I enjoyed that along with the company of my new friend Ron.
Nothing funny or stupid to say this morning so I appologize for not entertaining you today with something witty.
Talk to you soon ~ me

Anyway, yeah so I have had to take it easy lately.... I have a follow up visit with the doctor on Tuesday.
The x-ray shows a previous break to my thumb! I was shocked. I have no recollection of this.
The pain I am having, well, Doc, and I thought It was from a repetative motion, from typing, and using the spacebar.
I dont use the left hand to hit the space bar.....
This is so intersting to find and I can not figure what it might be caused from.. however I do tighten up my thumb and it is held upward while I type and this could have fatigued it ???? It hurts! Fatigue has never hurt. Im confused... though we all knew this before. anyway again, sorry, this is why I haven't posted in a couple of days.
Stacey and the ladies in Missouri, I found a really great link to an audio tape made in the 60's that you HAVE to hear to believe. So for one week - you will have your fame as I mention you in the description for the link. This should be available by clicking here FIVE FUN FACTS.
I just thought of you all stuck in that office, freezing your tushies off in that office full of lawyers. No pun intended.
Dont know why..... Just happened. So I had to mention it.
The gang in the P.ackage I.nvestigation department was out 'frolicking'--which has no letter 'k' in it if plural, at the Wildcat House, dancing, drinking, eating, etc.. This guy approached my old supervisor. Her name is Leanne.
So- the scene, ( a guy who will reamain nameless.. umm what we homosexuals would refer to as a nelly queen... approaches this guy there named Ron. Ron is told within 30 minutes that he is loved by the nameless nelly queen...
Ron then rolls his eyes... yatta yatta and I would imagine a short time passes and Ron proceeds away from the nelly boy. ) Ron approaches a table and sits down to chat with her, come to find out a good friend of his also works at the same location. They chat, Ron ask's Leanne, "do you have any cute friends?? I dont ever want to be with a guy like that" (the nelly queen) - some of you readers will know exactly who and what im refering to, others will be lost but should enjoy the read...
I was asleep it was approximately 10pm. The phone rings, it's Leanne - "hey, and so,on...you should come out here, im at the Wildcat House and there is this guy his name is Ron...he's awesome, you gotta at least meet him.." He thinks the same thing you do about (nelly queen) whats his name.
So- the reason for all of this, I have a date! WOW. I cheated and showed up at his work today, I have no idea what to expect, im nervous. I haven't done this in a long time.... each time I try, the fresh wound I created with my separation from Rich after 10 years kicks in. It's only been a year. We met in the summer of 1991 I was just turning 19. I moved away on April 10th 2001. Spiritually, I can't possibly be ready. So here goes. Im giving it a shot. Im meeting him at his work tonight and were all going out as a group. Should be much needed fun. I just felt like sharing. It's healthy to get this garbage out, even if no one is listening, but rather reading. Very theraputic for me.
Fun and goodtimes to all... Be safe. Talk with you later ~me

“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation) there is one elementary truth that ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too.
All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.” ~~~ Goethe
