Hiking with the family today. Managed to make my knee painfully unhappy with me.

I’m a regular user of EA’s online game site. Pogo

This evening I received an error message. So I wrote a VERY long post to their support division. And internally… I really don’t think I’m going to let this one lie… especially if I get crapped on by some outsourced tech support pre-fashioned script.

I invite you to read the rather biting letter. But I really don’t think most of my readers are that interested.

Hello readers.

Tomorrow is the nominations for the LiveJournal Advisory Board. I ask that you keep an eye on my journal tomorrow and be willing to post to your journals and ask your readers to do the same.

I think I have a very strong background to represent users well on the board and your support is really what is needed.

As always… (relevant) questions are welcomed.

So, Aiden is 20 months old today. That’s 1 2/3 yrs. Wow..

19 months was very difficult. It’s causing a bit of a shakeup in my world and the cleanup is underway.

This month Aiden spent the good portion of a day in daycare. (6 hrs) This was very difficult on me even though I don’t spend that time with him anyway due to work. The upside is that it worked out very well for all concerned. shimmeringjemmy had a day of personal work, recuperation, and gardening. (Oh, happy Cancer)

Aiden is undeniably a toddler. An independent and “WILLFUL” personality has emerged. He is more and more amazingly interactive. Yesterday, when we got home after work I retrieved the garbage pails from the curb while H & a unloaded from the car. About halfway down the driveway I bent down and opened my arms for a hug. Aiden tore into a (toddler) sprint and jumped up into my arms. It was beyond adorable.

The word, “Hi” is his mainstay. I’m pretty sure he knows what it means. Though everything is a greeting to him. Even getting attention. I think he equates it to also mean, “Excuse me.” With “Hi” has also come waving. He definitely has different hand motions for “hi” and “bye”… And whenever we say, “Say ‘bye-bye'” he does is farewell wave.

I’m going to keep this one short:

I’m intending to run for the LiveJournal Advisory Board. Nominations open May 5th (Monday)

I’d like your support. If you’d like to support me; here’s what you can do.

1) Post in your journal that I’m going to run and request your readers do the same. (Link back here)

2) Read:
the post about what this actually means
My original statement of intent

3) On May 5th, I will post the link to my nomination; I need at lest 100 different user comments that say, “I support this nomination”

4) Question me, question the process: If you have any questions, concerns, advise, etc… Please feel free to comment here.

I think I am qualfied, motivated, and passionate enough to have a positive effect on LiveJournal and be a fair representative of the different types of users that LJ has.

Thanks

By the way: If anyone would like to help me with graphics or badges for this endeavor…. I would be very appreciative.
