<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>There were 8 bands that played and they were all amazing. They all had their own style and their own way to show their thanks to our Veterans. As well some of them were Veterans and was amazing to hear their stories and the songs they wrote about their experiences. I wished every American got to experience the event. </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Social Network Radio did an excellent job, had some technical issues in the beginning as well some bumps along the way. John quickly did all he could to correct it quickly so his listeners could enjoy the event as if they were there. Many Veterans were listening and were very thankful that he aired the event. I was thankful for the event, for my dad was a Veteran. I am sure if he was still with us he would of been honored. </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>I ask everyone if you get the chance thank a Veteran, thank an active soldier. They either put themselves on the line or are putting themselves on the line and ask for nothing.. a thank you will go along way, believe me. </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>I ask everyone to check out John's radio station, he has 7 stations, my favorite is the Country Station :-) as well the Live Station when they are live at an event. I really hope that John replays this event for those who missed it, for it truly was a great event.</b></span><br />

Why do people do this?? Why not get out of the relationship and move on. </b></span><div>
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Recently I've had a friend's wife ragging on me, what's her problem who knows. Today after talking to a friend I came to realize she is either jealous of me or threatened by me. Has to be both in my opinion for she has gone on to people about me writing my books. One is a children's book and one is a novel, its about my life. I think she is worried if her husband is going to be in my book and what will it say. Well I guess she will have to wait till it comes out and buy it to see if he is in fact in it. I feel sorry for her, for I really don't think she knows what a great guy she has. I know from friends we have in common on FB the only way she knows what is going on with me is she waits for the right time and sneaks on his FB page. She knows how to deactivate the settings to show the device didn't log on so he has no clue. Why tell people are you looking to get caught. I've had these friends tell me to tell him or they ask me why am I not telling him. He is my friend, I don't want to be the one to crush him or have him hate me for telling him. He needs to find out on his own or she has to fess up. She is obviously going through something. For all of a sudden she now has nothing nice to say about him when he is not around in public or to friends on FB. Funny I was thinking the other day, you know your relationship is in trouble when your partner isn't complaining on FB for you to see. Shouldn't be that way but lets be real everyone post what is going on in there lives or when they are fighting with some etc. Seems she wants more out of life, I say that for her way towards me. Why be mad at me for writing, wanting to go back to school or she knows either through him or his FB that I am working on a bully program. She says all bad and negative things, to me that is someone who is jealous and needs or wants more in her life. Hopes none of things come through for me, wants me to fail for rumor has it he thinks I am full of shit or already failed and not saying anything. Neither of those are true, I am working hard and yes can write as well play on FB. I am good at multitasking. </b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>She goes around calling him horrible names and saying horrible things. I think man could you say anything worse. She tells people she is tired of riding his coat tails and doing all he wants to do. He thinks she is so into it but she really isn't for its not bring in the money she expected. I laughed when I heard that for that is what you are after money!!! Says when goes to things he acts like he is famous and everyone just loves him. He flirts with women and she knows they are thinking not a chance buddy. She calls him a fat lazy ass and he should get his head out of his computer. He should stop dreaming and get a real job. I tell ya, to me that sounds like someone is just not in love or just no into the man any more. Whines that his either always sick, doesn't feel good, something is aching etc. Tired of being his nurse maid. WOW!</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Relationships are not easy but harder when one is out bad mouthing the other. She has no idea how lucky she is. I was married to a wonderful man was I was 28 1/2 when we married and he died suddenly when I was 30. Yes we had 7 1/2 years together but who would of thought just like that he was gone. He was 36 years old, no one truly knows heart break until you lose the love forever. Don't get me wrong we had our problems, nothing like my friend his wife. I would never walk around calling him names especially to friends, business people etc. So many people take love, marriage and life for granted. Even my daughter's father he was so wrong for me I knew it but I stayed for reasons no one should stay for. Then had an old friend find me, who I adored when we were younger. That didn't work out, heart break sure nothing as bad as losing my husband but hurt bad enough. After him I just was picking anyone to date for I didn't want to be alone and till fill the void and hurt. Today I am glad to say I am in no rush to find someone. Even though my friend's wife told people she won't divorce him for she doesn't want me to have......LMAO NO WAY SISTA!!! And if that is why you opt to stay well you are cheating him and yourself out of happiness. Stop faking it, tell him and move on. </b></span></div>

<div>
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>I know so many people and there are so many people out there looking for love and can't find it. They are searching for years and not even close to finding the one. Here is this woman mocking marriage and worst off going out calling her husband names. Horrible!!!! </b></span></div>

The Facebook and Zynga Podcast is currently not running, not sure if they will be coming back. If they do I certainly will pick up blogging about it so you can stay up to date.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I just sat reading my blogs gosh I totally forgot about the things I wrote about and on some how angry I was. YIKES!!! Laughed when I read a few about my exes, no I wasn't bitter...LOL </span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Life has had its ups and downs for me. Pushed myself through until recently when a friend's wife has began to attack me for no reason. She doesn't know me but my name possible knows what I look like. I have done nothing to her to make her do this. Her husband he is a dear friend and would do anything for him as any of my friends. The thing is, its not that she accusing me of anything with him. She is attacking me about writing books, going back to school, working with elected officials on a bully program she says I am like him big dreamer. </span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I know she is not happy in her marriage for no one would talk about there husband they way she does lately. Calls him terrible names like big fat lazy ass. Or complains about how he complains he is sick and how he is sick all the time. She comment today to someone how he comes up with jokes and as posting them he laughs thinking he is so funny...NOT and he laughs in that laugh. Whatever that means. She is fed up with him acting like everyone loves him, adores him and wants to be his friend. Married him to early should of gotten to know him better. DUH! </span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So I guess now she is tired of complaining and picking on him I am now the victim. All good for today I have decided to no longer listen to what she is telling others and of course they come back to tell me. Which of course was her plan. Most I didn't mind for she is picking on me making a better life for me and my daughter. Then she decided to say how all I've had is failed relationships. The last one I chased to Florida. Well when she sneaked on to husband's fb account to read up on me she should of read everything. Last one got a job promotion and was relocated to Florida. We planned to continue the relationship but after hours of talk we agreed to stay friends and see where it goes. He is very busy as am I so we agreed just to be friends. Long distance they don't always work out. Next year when I go to Florida I will make a point to see him and see if the spark is still there, if neither of us are dating at that time. </span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So back to her, I truly hope she finds some inner peace. If she is that miserable or no longer in love with her husband she really should divorce him and allow him to find love as well allow herself to find it. </span><br />

<br />
<br />
As many of us know the situation with Zynga is getting out of control. First lets talk about how they are killing us with missions or events. Like Mafia Wars this week the false identites wasn't even over when the new one Cyber Warfare started. I am fed up with all these events and missions. Missions what a joke, tell people go win 30 fights in NY. Okay so I go to fight and wind up with levels like 1200, 1700, even 7000 um Zynga I am only level 667 how the heck am I beating them. Yes I took others advice and fought anyway for I might get lucky...LOL not even close got my butt kicked. I know that fighting is part of the game and all for it but i would like fair play. Talk about fair play what is up with AC you can't play it on the actual site you have to go to another website to play it. Why not just open up to everyone???? Like I want to have to go to another page just to play another city. Have a city let everyone play it end of story. They do the same with other games can't get certain items unless you able to access the game via your cell phone. WHAT'S UP WITH THAT??? I know isn't that a form of discrimination. Oh sorry you are not fortunate enough to have a fancy phone so you can't be like the rest of us and play or have certain items.<br />
<br />
I play ALL of Zynga games and fed up with all of them. They keep making changes and don't tell anyone, its like to bad like or lump it. They have it were we spend so much time doing missions you can't enjoy the game as well it takes away from socializing on Facebook. I have so many friends that have quit playing because they realized they were spending hours on the games and had no time to talk with family or friends. <br />
<br />
Worst part is people are complaining, threatening to stop play or have stopped playing. Zynga decided lets take some people and put them in a room. We will call them PAC (Players Advisory Committee) fancy for saying let them take the heat and shut the players up. Some of you may not be aware of PAC and wonder what its about. Well like I said they took a bunch of MW players who have either podcasts, groups etc to collect data\complaints and take them back to Zynga. Some players see it as away to shut them up as well as another obstacle. Now Zynga doesn't want us to talk to us directly they want us talking to a bunch of players who have no answers. They have to go back to Zynga to get our answers so how is that helping. Just a wast of time and frustrating plus some feedback is some of PAC members rude. So why are we going to go to them for help or give our input. You don't like someone's idea or think there complaint is silly well that is fine but not your call not to take it to Zynga. Your job as a PAC member is to take to them.<br />
<br />
As many of you know I blog about one of the podcasts, The Facebook and Zynga Podcast, host John Sweeney. For the last two weeks he show was about players calling in and telling him what their complaints are or thoughts etc. John is a PAC member and trying to get as much information he can to take back to Zynga. So I do recommend the show, call in and tell him what you think or make a complaint etc. Shows are Monday at 6pm EST. <a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thefacebookzyngapodcast/2011/04/11/the-facebook-zynga-podcast">http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thefacebookzyngapodcast/2011/04/11/the-facebook-zynga-podcast</a><br />
<br />
Complaints I am hearing or have with Zynga and games, losing gifts while accepting them been doing it on both MW and Farmville, losing reward points in MW, games not loading at all, of course the missions, oh the new mini energy packs in MW (they are a joke)<br />
<br />
I think its time players hold Zynga's feet to the fire. Make the games work, slow down on events and missions and get them to work properly. I know for myself its just a matter of time that I quit, I have already cut back my time on the games, next step is quitting. Zynga I want to play the games but also have time to socialize with my friends. I don't want to be told I can't have a city or item either because I don't have a good enough phone or dump money into the game. HELLOOOO do you realize the economy is bad?? Many people are out of work and lucky they can feed their family forget dumping money into games. Oh so instead of understanding that we discriminate yet again. Oh sorry you are struggling and have no money, well to bad you can't have items etc.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05344395918244959493noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1919477764275763181.post-45321746475437927642011-03-16T19:58:00.000-04:002011-03-16T19:58:25.733-04:00The Facebook Zynga Podcast 3/14/11--Mock War 3/17 info in blog<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq5vV6A2AMmMBCHBViQjYGI8Fgjou4u-jefAmPjv_-RG8Yig-NUuvHsJ__YdNLCKTCWJkvOA-dNNAYuCu_9NuJxgEzN_iUU4c7NE7B_yxu0yLq9pQvGSzXaA3k1jxm17WO8Z5qcBO_AuNn/s1600/CelticBabeDonna.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="270" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq5vV6A2AMmMBCHBViQjYGI8Fgjou4u-jefAmPjv_-RG8Yig-NUuvHsJ__YdNLCKTCWJkvOA-dNNAYuCu_9NuJxgEzN_iUU4c7NE7B_yxu0yLq9pQvGSzXaA3k1jxm17WO8Z5qcBO_AuNn/s320/CelticBabeDonna.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>I must say this week is going to be a short blog for the most part.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Ok so John started out the show with the Obituaries. One that touched everyone in the Mafia Wars world was a young boy name Matty, he was 10 and lost his battle to cancer. The MW community had gotten together and did a mock war for him at one point to help with medical treatments and to help him live a better life. He changed the lives of many people. He was lots of fun and special to everyone. (As a mother of a 9 year old I could only imagine what it would be like to lose my child, my heart and prayers go out to Matty's family.) </b></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Next John had Joey Giggles on the show. John tried doing a NY accent, yes I know he comes from NY but he has been in Florida to long. He lost his Brooklyn accent. Sorry John fact is fact :-) LOL</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Joey started by sending his condolences to Matty's family. He began talking about his work with Bill Zucker. Bill is a comedian\singer, he does funny songs like the twitter song, tarp song etc. Bill works with people from Kelsey Grammer, Scott Baio and list goes on. Also Joey had his own show on BlogTalkRadio.com called Positive Experience. Its all about bringing people's mind set to a positive place instead of negative. He also has videos on youtube-youtube.com/joeygiggles Once he left they discussed his Brooklyn accent, now he has a Brooklyn accent. John once again tried to be Brooklyn...NOT ROTFL We who know him know he still has Brooklyn in his heart, soul and blood even though he lost his accent.:-D</b></span><br />

I hear of people getting married not because they love each other, its just because. For some its they feel they won't find anyone else to be with them. So they try to boost their ego up for its so low in their mind, they truly believe they are not attractive,to fat or skinny, teeth no teeth etc. So when the first person that they meet gives them the slightest attention they put their hooks into them. Soon they get married and within a few years are miserable and want out. Then you have the ones that meet people online, I am not saying you can't find love that way. Let's be real for a moment, you have these people who met via playing games like Mafia Wars on Facebook. They are so into the game, they talk about, do all sorts of things regarding it, they are in love. REALLY???? REALLY NOW!!! You've got to be kidding me!!! Plus I do a blog for a podcast show and I've had a few listeners email me, how they met a guy or gal via Mafia Wars or other Zynga games and told me, it doesn't work out. One couple was together for 2 years, thought they were so in love. Well they both stop playing Mafia Wars within 3 months they were over. They came to find out they had nothing in common. They spent their time at work, came home played online and on weekends were out with friends, they had no us time. When they did all went downhill, for when out with friends even then they hardly interacted, now had time and had to interact~~~ silence is all you heard. When things were good it was because they were mostly talking about what was going on with Mafia Wars, Facebook or other games they played together. That was the only thing they knew or had in common. For they did try to work it out and talked. Turned out he wanted children, she didn't. She wanted to move to another state, he wasn't leaving his family. She loves cats, he is allergic, he loves dogs, she can't stand them. I would laugh but its not funny. For here are two people who spent 2 years not really knowing their partner at all. Moved in together after a year so now one has to move and start over. </b></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b> NOW before the couples that are together come after me...I AM NOT SAYING THIS IS TRUE FOR ALL CASES.

Some may ask why use listener's comments, well this way it helps John on fixing any problems or at best he knows how some are feeling. I hope to help him improve his show and help it succeed. He has something good here but has to stay on top of it to make it work, plus now going to have a radio show. We all know you have to be on your game or they cancel you, so I hope this helps him improve the show were necessary or make changes if necessary.

Static, echoing and the show was going in and out. I also heard it when I listened to recorded podcast, was tough understanding what they were saying. I think hosts may have been still drunk or very hung over from their Super Bowl parties, they seem to not be speaking so clearly...LOL Seriously I don't know what they are using as equipment but even with Joanne every time she speaks you get this load blast of sound before you hear her. One listener told me while they were talking to some women from MW, the show went out for a few minutes and couldn't hear what she said. </b></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;"><b> </b></span><br />

</b></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;"><b>A group of women from Mafia Wars were on the show. Its a new group that Tre learned about. Worldwide Mafia Women. Tre and John spent more time trying to flirt then to find out what the group was about, John really thinks he is all that and the women love him... kidding--not ROTFL (seriously kidding). Thanks to Joanne asking them to tell us about their group we may never of found out. I am still not totally sure, for they didn't really get that much into it. They are social clan but do fight and such. Have entered Mock Wars sponsored by other clans. They are having a Tough Women contest, pick a gentleman who has agreed to let us hit him and the ladies hit him at least once. These ladies did a trip to Chicago and they saw the gangster graves and put a rose on Al Capone's grave. Posted pictures up on Facebook & Zynga Podcast. This group won one of the contest that Tre ran and won 10,000 in loot so they did ask them what they planned to do with it.</b></span><br />

You can go to Zynga forum and give your two cents. New animals to be build, so now you collect raw meat to feed animals. "They spent so much time talking about buying reward points, I don't buy them as many I know. Let's keep it to what we want to hear about or give us the help we need" Until Valentine's day you energy refills every 8 hours. Some good news finally from Zynga. </b></span><br />

They made an application on FB they got all the users information and they put pictures of the people on the site. FB does not have the proper security feature to protect its users. It comes to show you how valuable your information is to these companies. The need to make it then any application let them access our name and user idea. Then if we want to go and give them information then we would be a fault not FB. US Congress is pressuring FB about protecting us and not giving out our phone numbers etc. Congress wants to know how much info was given out. FB doesn't really care about the government for they don't have any real restriction on Internet. Should be we opt in and not opt out.</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;"><b>FB rolling out new photos, media viewer and high definition photos. Some news I just felt not appropriate to write about.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;"><b>Want people who met on FB, MW or any Zynga games for Valentine's Day show. So all you love birds come to fan page and posted it on the wall. Listener's comment "Do they really think we care or want to hear about this. Who really cares if a bunch of people met this way and fell in love. No, I am not single and miserable, I am married to a lovely lady for several years, we met by being stuck on an elevator, now that's exciting! Sad part most of these couples will be divorced. Why for eventually MW\FB\Zynga will wear off and than you will have to look at the person and interact. That's when they find out there really is no love and only thing they had in common was FB|MW|Zynga. My wife and I were stuck for 2 hours, we got to know each other, laugh and support each other. Wonderful experience, I wish these couples could experience something like that. So on that note, I won't be listening to Monday's show for its all fake in my opinion."</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;"><b><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;"><b>Not really much to talk about or big important information to report about, just basic stuff. The show is on blogtalkradio.com if you want to listen to it.</b></span><br />

</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;"><b>I am sorry when this show first started John gave us so much great information, helped people with the games etc now its more lets chat and eventually we will get to the news. They also had callers, now not so much. Few listener's comments~~~~ "I have listened in a few times and just no longer have an interested in it." " I know John for a few months think he does a great job, the show has lost something." "I hear they are starting a radio show was going to listen in but not sure now after this show, was horrible" " I know John about two years now, I like him better when he just did Don Sweeney's Pimping Club, he is a different person now. He was so helpful back in the day now he has no time for us little people." " I know all the hosts want to have fun, have a few laughs etc. but being its only an hour they don't really have that kind of time. Seems things of importance get rushed because they spent to much time talking about personal things. Needs to be a better outline and better balance of items\power. Make us feel like you are there for us." </b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;"><b>My opinion, I think they should pick two major things to discuss each week. Fill everyone in on those two things. I know FB and Zynga are always changing you could do a show everyday with the way things change. Can't say well no chatting just stick to business for that will be no fun for you guys. Have a timed outline so you can stay on track and not find yourself hurrying at the end. </b></span></div><div><br />

Discussion lead to with MW everyone gets used to a changed suddenly Zynga changes again. Many players get so mad, fed up and just quit. Zynga is losing money with players who spend money on the games. My opinion..I know Zynga has to keep the games interesting or they will lose players. Them changing things is getting frustrating for now it seems every other day there is a change. Comment: Zynga needs to let the players know changes are coming or were made.

Top players talking about class action suit..those who got caught got band for a week and now back playing. Colin says they will back doing it again once the next new script comes out. John-I hear Facebook going after them on different angle. Serious looking at it with legal department. Colin- its not fair for the people who go out work and put what the can in the game then get beat by people who are cheating. Tre- I know for a fact that Zynga likes losing money, they are not hear for players or games. They just want to make money. Is it fair to be sitting at pc, playing the MW meanwhile the guy beating you up is using the script, sitting at the bar having beer. Join Zynga Boycott Page,link on the Facebook Zynga Podcast page. Some people use the scripts because of medical reasons, they can't click or laid up for a period of time. Great topic and they really got into, listen to the show if you want more information. </b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"><b>My opinion once a cheater always a cheater.

Find out who logged into your page and log them out of your page. Its a good feature, you disable them then change your password so they can't get back in. You can get email or text telling you when someone logs in. They came HTTPS, secured Facebook, like shopping online or bank..the lock at the bottom of the page telling you its secure.

Basically, she is saying she had a family emergency and fake her own death. John had a chance to speak to her and explain the whole thing to us. She also said she was going to send him proof to show it was real. He told her she didn't have to but wanted to and here it is 4 days later still nothing, has to many holes in story. She doesn't have to justify it that is fine, we are upset by how she came back from it, her attitude. John thinks the whole thing is bull and was over in 3 days and stay dead for 2 months. Rumors going on about so many things He doesn't like being made to look like a fool, announced her death, memorials were done, loot given out, gift card purchased in her memory. He thinks its just wrong. He says, if you need a break fine, disable your account and activate when you are ready to come back. She supposedly died and had your sister take over account. People are investigating the situation. He has a problem, as a Reverend about what her clan did over weekend, they put up a picture of Jesus with middle finger up. That was so wrong.

Don't want to comment on to much on this for don't know all the details. If someone I knew did it i would be so pissed. I lost a person from a clan, Dolly, she was so nice new I was new, helped me gave me guidance. I was hoping someone would tell me it was a prank just so I could interact with her one more time. I understand she was pushing 90 and she was a daily MW player. Without I am sure she is lonely, I know from where i am there are days I get lonely. I get online and talk to family, friends to keep me sane." Comment from a listener... First the picture of Jesus, that is an awful awful thing to post. FB should make them take it down. I don't know her but after hearing all the stories out there, the whole thing doesn't sound kosher. I am upset that money was spent out in her name etc and she doesn't even offer to pay it back etc.</b></span><br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">John started out the show with the obituaries.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then got started by talking about accounts that got suspended due to players who got illegal reward point injections. They had a caller who had gotten taken on this..here is John's blog on the matter <a href="http://facebookzynga.blogspot.com/2011/01/mafia-wars-suspends-dozens-of-accounts.html">http://facebookzynga.blogspot.com/2011/01/mafia-wars-suspends-dozens-of-accounts.html</a></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Evil Ed called in about the illegal reward points, he feels the people that bought the rewards are just as guilty. People need to follow the terms of agreement. Sportsmanship is what its all about. Some players want a easy way to get a better character.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Mafia Wars News: bury a mole is finally over. Italy chapters 6,7,8 delayed on opening, Zynga said maybe this week. Zynga tried to do shark tank what a complete failure. Trying to make it so you could fight people in certain brackets. Just failed sure they will work on it, they did ask for our thoughts on it. We will try to help them work on it. Don't limit us on who when can fight. *My note they need to figure something out that is fair..I am level 580 and I am getting beat by 1100+ not fair* Listen to show for more details on the shark tank. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Facebook reversed themselves about giving out our phone numbers and addresses. After getting complaints from users about it they have decided not to give out the informations. FB has removed suggest a friend on a page due to a bug and they are trying to fix it. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Correction on a death notice.. Godmother of JRZ Lily Bauman she is alive and well according story she had to fake her death in order to protect her family. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;">We will be investigating it more and are waiting for all the facts before we pass judgement. If it is true then hats off to her for doing what she had to to protect her family but if it is found to be untrue then we will tell you all about this as it world be a cruel sick joke she pulled on the Mafia Wars community & other friends. Watch for updates !!! </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Caller asked about Rewardville...its a cross promotions and you collect z coins and so you can buy loot for the games that you play. Will be rolled about to a few then eventually out to everyone else.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Tre York talks about mock wars that going on in the MW world. Got to the Pinnacle War page under discussion board for more information. 10,000 loot items giveaway again go to the discussion board for more information..have to post clan name and admin name to collect the loot. Get all clan members to post. </span><a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=122674644416877&ref=ts">http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=122674644416877&ref=ts</a><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I couldn't get all the information John or Tre gave at the end about mock wars and events because they were talking to fast due to the end of the show coming. Here is the show link if you want to check it out </span><a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thefacebookzyngapodcast/2011/01/24/the-facebook-zynga-podcast">http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thefacebookzyngapodcast/2011/01/24/the-facebook-zynga-podcast</a><br />

Hope everyone is doing well and had a wonderful Christmas or Holiday Season. <br />
<br />
Let me just remind everyone that John Sweeney is a very dear friend and know him over 25 years. He is a very nice, kind and okay guy...LOL no seriously he is a very nice person and a great friend. He knows my blog is something I love doing as well once again I have someone viewing for a writing position. So yes I will be tough and say things that need to be said etc. He knows its not to harm him in anyway but at best to maybe help improve his show or for him to see what people are hearing and feeling.<br />
<br />
So I am back blogging about Facebook and Zynga Podcast but this time in a different manner. I will need a week or so to get back into the swing of things. You will hear what was said along with comments from others that listen to the show as well. Didn't get a big feedback this week maybe better luck next week. I thought I would try something new for the New Year, reason why blog is late. Well that and I just got my heartbroken yet again..I am so done with men and hate them, so this should be a really good blog (John let me say sorry ahead of time :-D)....LOL lets get this blog rollin....<br />
<br />
Well they started off by talking over each other....my biggest pet peeve!!! I know its going to happen..i just hate it plus hard to hear what is being said. The podcast at times had TMI (for those don't know what that means To Much Information) one listener's comment was do we really need to know all that personal stuff...Then of course technically issues now not sure if its on John's end or its blogtalkradio.com. For I have been having trouble he last few shows.<br />
<br />
John announced the obituaries one comment I got was it was very cold, no feeling behind them. Now I have been listening to John's show since day one and him doing the obits and I have to say it didn't seem cold more like he wasn't himself. Thinking he may have been under the weather for him maintained that demeanor for the whole show.<br />
<br />
The shows first guest was Mr. Black Knight of Scam Sniper. Who talked about different scams going around on Facebook. <a href="http://www.facebook.com/ScamSniper">http://www.facebook.com/ScamSniper</a> You can check out his page to get more information. One he did discuss was a warning out of the UK. It was about pedophiles talking to school children, befriend them as a classmate, trying them to put on web cam or get personal information. As parents we need to be careful and be sure our children understand and use the web, Facebook etc. Let them know there are dangers out there. I am a parent and I check my daughter's pc everyday. You should be checking their history as well take the actions to block everything. Parental controls are there to help but you are the one in control as well in control of what they are doing. Also talked about emails or wall posts about checking out a video you are in or need to fix your log in information etc. Just ignore them as well report as spam. For more information on these scams or other's check out Mr. Knight's page on Facebook. He has a lot of great information on his wall. <br />
<br />
Then they announced some members that got married, the first mafia couple to get married in 2011. Now I must say it is great that people are meeting via Mafia Wars or one of the other games. These are not the first set of people to every meet and get married. I had been contact last year to look into this for reasons I won't get into and found out that yes, others have met and married way before now. As well some of those couples have children bring this up because.... the conversation turned to who would have the first mafia baby. A listener's comment Hello..children play mafia wars and could be listening in on the show. So shouldn't the language and topic be censored. John always tells people or did at one time tell players to watch what they say or do on his pages for children are playing the game. Well if they are following him wouldn't they be listening to his show. Person had a point my thought is maybe that needs to be taken into consideration not really sure. Everyone is different when it comes to certain topics, use of foul language not sure how John can make everyone happy. My personal thought if you are a man of God, no you should not be swearing but that's just my opinion...opinions are like hmmm brains we all have one.<br />
<br />
Finally into some news. ....Spoke about Zynga's nightmare with the Christmas tree presents and getting the reward if you had a level 5 tree . Another screw up with Zynga. They kill me they keep coming out with mission after mission on all games and something goes wrong. Some games have so many you can't get to other things on the game. They need to slow down and give us a chance to play and chat with friends. Other issues with the games are they don't load, you lose loot, GF points etc and they don't give them back. John says how they busted their butts on New Year's Day and getting everyone their rewards if they were entitled to it. John feels they are starting the New Year off right....ROTFL..sure for him its great he has contacts there. Its nice, I know for I used to have a contact there, now that they are gone things stink. All us other players have to suffer with not getting help. Need more information on Christmas tree nightmare check The Facebook and Zynga Podcast fan page. <br />
<br />
Zynga teamed up with Best Buy giving $100,000 in prizes and red zone certificates. Buy game card from Best Buy and get entered into sweepstakes and get a mystery crate. John has links on his fan page and more information.<br />
<br />
Tre York has discussed a mock that took place on New Years. For those who don't know Tre is part of Pinnacle War Page..here is link <a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=122674644416877">http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=122674644416877</a> check it out. Check out discussion board as well fan page gives you information on events coming up.<br />
<br />
Facebook news..on your home page recent news and top news ..if click on recent news you can separate it how to see things, mafia war friends, family, friends etc. <br />
<br />
Feel good story of the year, 10 year girl found a kidney donor with help of FB page. Kathy Olsen who saw post and was perfect match for the little girl. Power of social networking and what its all about. Matching up people who need help, find lost family and friends etc. Very nice story and glad to hear it.<br />
<br />
Facebook and account settings, new security feature they don't talk about much. Go to home page click accounts then account settings. Brings you to new page and have all your information, mobile, credit balance etc. Main thing is setting and go to account security, when you get there you will see if anyone is logged into your account and if so you can end activity. You can also get notification through email or your phone so you can log them off your account. When you see someone logged in and end it, then go and change password right away. <br />
<br />
Then John spoke about a new law in California about making a page as someone else to defraud people etc. Here is the link to John's blog on it...<a href="http://facebookzynga.blogspot.com/2010/12/fake-profiles-on-facebook-becomes-crime.html?spref=fb">http://facebookzynga.blogspot.com/2010/12/fake-profiles-on-facebook-becomes-crime.html?spref=fb</a><br />
<br />
In a nutshell it was an okay show. I feel they are trying to get more and more discussed in just an hour and some things are getting brushed over quickly. Very good information and most people won't go the fan page to find out more so maybe in the case less is more. Or maybe John should take a poll and see what people want to discuss and do that for a half hour or so then give the news of what is going on with Zynga and Facebook. I know being they are only on once a week its hard for so much comes up. Not sure they can really do much about how the show runs. For I know John wants to get as much out to everyone. Maybe do a priority list, the most important things go first and work your way down. I highly recommend everyone be a fan of their page <a href="http://www.facebook.com/TheFBZyngaPodcast">http://www.facebook.com/TheFBZyngaPodcast</a> as well they have a website <a href="http://www.facebookzyngapodcast.com/">http://www.facebookzyngapodcast.com/</a><br />
<br />
As I get back into the swing of blogging again these will have lots more information, links, comments etc. Anyone that wants to make a comment on the show, ways John can improve it, things you want him to talk about or anything in blog please contact me if you don't feel comfortable going to him directly.<br />
<br />
Now a plug for me..John had done it on his show a few weeks ago<br />
I am in Emergency Mode...with everyday that passes it just gets worse and worse for me. I live in Brooklyn, NY. Thank you.<br />

I have not been able to due to personal issues and now my daughter having medical issues. I totally lost my will to do anything. I do hope to resume blogging about show very soon. My guess is there won't be to many shows between now and the new year. I will do my best to get a few in but if not once the new year is here i will start doing it again. I know many use this to get information instead of listening to the show. You should listen in for you can call in and ask questions etc. </b></span><br />

Took some time off for it was to boring...LOL just kidding. Personal things got in the way and this weeks blog not as informative as others, just not myself. I do encourage everyone to listen to this show as well as the prior one. Prior one had Nate from Zynga on. Will put the link at bottom of blog.</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br />
</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Well this week they discussed several things. I must say this week John was off his game but in fairness he was under the weather. So before I go any further I know he reads my blogs..Mr. Sweeney you have to get your rest so you are better and can be a help to others. Be sure to start doing this for don't make me come down there and get all up in your face Brooklyn style--for you know I will!!!! LOL Seriously you need to take care of yourself.</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br />
</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Ok so back to things.... His co-host Joanne did eventually join the show. John discussed the Wall St Journal article about Facebook privacy issues how the game applications are giving user information out to third parties. Zynga has stated they don't do that at all. Facebook is taking action now to stop this from happening but in the meantime when you start a new game and you hit allow they are getting your information. You can try to call these people and have your information removed but in the end they still wind up with your information. Its just a lose lose situation. Let's hope FB keeps their word and fixes it. Also Canada has it where they opt in to things and that is how it should be everywhere. We have to opt out of things. </b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br />
</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>John then discussed that all MW members are now in Italy. Its like Vegas but you can pick to do either energy or fight jobs you don't have to do both. If you want skill points do both but you must not click on boss job till your done with both energy and fight jobs. Consumables there is a link for them. Click on the link it takes you to the job that gives them to you. You will need a lot of them for Italy.</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br />
</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Then he talked about the missions or as i like to call them the dreaded missions. Me personally i love them and hate them. You have family members hounding you to get others to finish or delete them. Or I start one run out of energy and get deleted for not finishing it the first time. Anyway..John talked about how the loot stinks now. He likes the changed they made on missions where you can click on the person to email them to remind them. Adding more people to missions where you need 6 or 7 people. </b></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>New cross promotions coming out with Frontierville and Farmville you will get limited addition items etc. They are great as long as you play those games.</b></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br />
</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>John started out this week's show sending out condolences to friends, clans who have lost a member or family members. There were quite a few last week.</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br />
</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>I recommend you take time to listen to show. My blog this week is a brief outline. I am under the weather, as well taking care of a sick child with other personal things going on so my head just not into it this week. Sorry John promise it will be better for next show. </b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b> Here is the link to the show: </b></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/john-sweeney-jr/2010/10/04/the-facebook-zynga-podcast">http://www.blogtalkradio.com/john-sweeney-jr/2010/10/04/the-facebook-zynga-podcast</a></b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br />
</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Next John and Joanne discussed a new group they started, A Safe Haven For Abused Women & Children<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;">. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;">The site has discussion groups, resources as well John is working on getting counselors, and other help. Also trying to get law enforcement aware of the group to have them let victims know about it. The group is for everyone, women, children, men, elderly. They are trying to contact centers around the country. Joanne talked about how its a hard topic to look at. Some don't know they are in an abusive relationship till its to late. There are all types of abuse, physical, emotional, verbal on not just women and children but men, the elderly etc. Not just mom and dad abusing their children could be a family member doing it. John is trying to get news media involved, celebrities, he has a judge in the group. He wants this group to be a place to go even if you don't talk and just look around get the information you need to help. There is a skype room called A Safe Haven For Abused Women & Children. If you are interested you can drop John an email and give him your skype id. John's skype id is JohnSweeney65. The numbers are 1 out of 3 get abused, very scary numbers. As many know, John is a Reverend so anything discussed with him is confidential. He can't discuss it with Joanne or anyone else. You are free to talk to any of the admin on the site. They are either experiencing it, have experienced it or are other forms of help. Reach out if you need it please.</span></b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><br />

He talked how they made changes. They changed the way your friends list is now. They used to be in alphabetical order now its random based on activity. John thinks it stinks. Also they took away the ability to find your fan pages. You know have to go to a new link for them. Facebook/pages/browser.php. They categorized everything but didn't break it down very well. Nice idea but it really needs work as well put a link on our page to get access. They are trying to hard, not in right direction and screwing up FB experience. Also still trouble with adding friends saying you don't know them so you can't add them. </span></b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><b>They took a call, the caller wanted to tell John or she said exactly this "You are one of God's Angels on Earth. The work you are doing with your group, I am giving you an A+" She was putting the link to his group on her group site. She told him it was truly amazing what he was doing and God Bless him and Joanne. He said how they are just trying to help people, that is all they want to do. For they are fine in life and looking to give back.</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><b><br />
</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><b>The next call was Ed from Evil Ed Podcast. They talked about the Facebook fan pages and how they are set up now. About how more ads are on the pages then before. That is so much different then 6 months ago, never got pinked boxed. Talked how bigger companies can buy names from Facebook so members are at 15,000 +. Were some a smaller page like Ed's only has 3,200 and thats after working hard for 3 months. The little guy has to spend, can't afford to where the big guy if they do spend they can write it off, little guy can't. Ed mentioned Monster Mash 2010, sponsered by Evil Ed.</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><b><br />
</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><b>John got back to Facebook, talked about how the stories are getting condense and less visible. How they are not showing the comments, making you have to go click to see comments. Its a social site and want people to socialize but making harder for us to do that.</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><b><br />
</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><b>Then on to Zynga news, talked about the pigs you got over the weekend. One MW changed that John likes is the way we war. No longer warring with friends, war with others who are not your friends. John likes that you can either ice, war or do both on a person. You can achieve Warlord Achievement, you can only help in 5 wars to receive the rewards. John posts all news on the Facebook Zynga Podcast fan page. On that page he has the MW tool bar. Zynga is still running cross promotions. Talk about the new reward program in MW. Looking to reward those who play a lot as well pay money into the game. There is certain loot at certain levels. Zlotto is still going on where you get pick up things for some Zynga games. Now if you get the 3 keys you will get a sneak preview to a new game coming out this fall. One new game is Warstorm, its a card game and could be geared for younger audience. John says its good, has nice graphics, music.</b></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><b><br />
</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><b>No jokes this week. I couldn't due to the seriousness of the show. Domestic Violence is a big problem. Many are so afraid to get help or get out. I hope many go to John's group and get help they need. I hope some will reach out and talk or ask for help. John like I said is a Reverend and hope many take advantage of that. It is confidential. </b></span><br />

They were back as Mr. and Mrs. Sweeney, if you didn't know they got married.</div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Ok lets be clear once again, I know John 25 years so I can pick on him, its in no way a reflection or towards Joanne in anyway, she sounds like a lovely girl. Just me picking on John.<br />
So Joanne if you read this ..Congratulations on your wedding I wish you all the best. John is a great man, you are one lucky lady and vice versa.<br />
<br />
Usually I pick on John, make a few laughs but this weeks its tough but will give it a try. They started the show talking about getting married. As many of you know if you saw John's 65 million post (we should call him The Don of Posting, lol) on the wedding they had a Mafia Wars wedding, correction the First Mafia Wars Wedding. Zynga was nice to supply them with MW hats etc as well gave the couple a honeymoon. I am sure many of you read their love story, so sweet right? They sound so perfect and happy...BLAH LOL Don't they know their couples out there miserable they don't want to here some happy love story, they want you miserable too.....LOL Wonder what the true story is???? HMMMMMMMM LOL :-D<br />
<br />
Well you just wait my friend like many of us know... you get that piece of paper...sure in the beginning still nice, honeymoon phase then when you are least expecting it...............................BAM!!! everything as you know it changes, you are no longer you or able to do what you want or like to do, your life as you as you once knew it..OVER...ROTFLMAO...then you are miserable like the rest of us. OH WAIT... I am single. You will be miserable like the rest of the married couples LOL I will be living up the single life,which consists of sitting home on the weekend, eating ice cream and watching some horror flicks! lol But I am single and don't have man drama nor relationship drama. :-) Oh and no one to answer to, do as they say etc. AAAAHHHH silence!! Just me and my daughter, nothing better :-D</div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Now that I got that out of my system for now..LOL John, you are such a great friend. I love that you are happy and being such a good sport. As long as we have a good laugh and no one gets hurt that's all that matters :-D<br />
<br />
I truly do wish John and Joanne all the best. I wish them lots of luck, love and happiness.<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. John Sweeney!!!!! </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />

Nate is one of the Community Managers at Zynga. Their job is to help strengthen the community, be advocates for the community as well review the forums\board all for Mafia Wars. They are looking for more people to make a connection, build friendships. Nate talked about how Zynga is starting to communicate with the players, they realize communication is key and working on improving it.</div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">John asked Nate if Vegas Loot was going to be gift able and if so time frame on when it will happen. Nate did say some of the loot would be gift able but not determined when it would be. For they need to work on program issues to make it happen as well economic impact as well. Will consumables be gift able, taking into considerations and looking into it further. John suggest maybe make them were the players buy them with their Vegas chips.</div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">John mentioned how many players were talking about how their update on MW home page were disappearing. Page would refresh and information would be cleared out. Nate said they are trying out new things for better displays. Sometimes things work sometimes they don't. Also those with larger mafia families will lose a lot for the is only so much that can be displayed at one time. Again Zynga working on improving it.</div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">The next topic were the slot machines and a debate with a few people hit the jackpot but only getting paid a 1,000 a month. Nate said yes, its like hitting the lotto you get annual payments same here. Its keeps people interested in playing the game. Plus its fair to the other players.</div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Next they discussed Mafia Wars Clans and registering them and having a clan database. Nate said they are talking about it. For the clans as well the trading groups. The game was designed as individual play but soon players started clans, came up with their on vocabulary etc. So Zynga looking into doing more with the clans etc.</div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Nate the mentioned the Mafia Wars Event in Las Vegas, originally set for Oct 15-16 but was postponed due to the huge interest. They want to give the players time to make arrangements etc to attend so now be scheduled for some time in January or February of 2011. You can met other players, MW developers will be there, you can get things to play the game etc.</div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">The was a question about why you have to wait 24 hours to accept gifts like pignatas or super loot. Nate said its only fair to new players and keeps things balanced.</div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">A caller called in, he wanted to know if there was a chance of Zynga putting players in rank within 30-40 levels of each other. Nate said it was a big feedback they were getting and looking into this and the rules of engagement for fighting. Second caller wanted to know why gifting in Fishville is easier then in MW. With MW it takes so long. Nate said he would have to talk to the Fishville programmers and see how they do it. He has to look into it further. Third caller looking to find out if Beta gifting tool was a rumor or fake. Nate said its a fact, its out of beta but not sure when it will be released. Gifting tool will allow you to send multiple gifts.</div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Before Nate left John did ask if the stamina boost would be brought back. Nate said they were very popular and will probably come back but doesn't know for sure.<br />
<br />
John and Joanne are doing a great job, there was some feedback during show, not sure why. Haven't heard that before. Having Nate on was huge, it was great to actual hear a voice from Zynga. Nate sounds like a nice guy as well interested in what the gamers have to say and looking into what will make things better for the gamers.<br />
<br />
Nate was a great sport for he was under the weather and hung in there. Joanne was her peppy self, John I don't know he was out in space and need an upper...ROTFL Just kidding, John also under the weather. I hope John and Nate are both feeling better.</div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">There is a page everyone should got to and join, its updates you scams on if they are true false etc. Its a great page I as well John highly recommend it.

<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today is a bitter sweet day. As two of my exes take their vows today I take the next step into the next chapter of my life. We can always hope and dream that one that got away comes back. For some it happens for others it doesn't. I pray for all the best for them and me. I have no regrets, just wish I did things differently. </span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana;">Earlier in the week I was angry and bitter gosh so many emotions. I then vented, cried and screamed. I felt so much better and made the final break. For one ex he truly is a wonderful man and a very dear friend. A lot of my friends reading this will be shocked I am saying this. He is, just because we didn't work out doesn't me he isn't a good person. Wasn't in the cards and that's ok, I still have a great friend.</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana;">I wish him and his new wife nothing but luck, love and happiness. I am very happy for him. </span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana;">For the other one well I wish him the best. As much as I want to be happy I can't. I don't wish anything bad just can't show a whole lot for him. I know that I am better off and glad it ended when it did, he just did so many wrong things. Ones that are just unacceptable or forgiveable. </span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana;">So instead of feeling sorry for myself or wishing bad things. I embrace my new life I start today. For now the ties I held on to for so many months have been released. I am proud of myself for in the past I would of made bad choices and said horrible things etc. I have grown plus have had so much pain in my life I don't want anymore. Things happen in our life for a reason. God wants them to go this way. I always have my memories wish I will reflect on in a good way. No one can take what I felt away from me or take my memories. </span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana;">Today is a great day for these two men and for me. They start a new life. For me, I let go and start a new. I will always be there for my friend no matter what it is, what time or day etc. I am there, for I don't turn my back on my friends.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana;">I had many friends tell me what I should or shouldn't do. I love them for caring but in the end its what makes me happy. I had some good laughs with friends too. You have the one girlfriend who just makes fun of the guys and you laugh so hard your side hurts. That helped me a lot. I have one friend we were talking about our exes and I said forget their ears ringing they must be burning for all the talking we are doing about them. She turns around and says forget their ears, I hope the family jewels are burning, burning so bad they burst into flames. ROTFL No she's not angry or bitter. It was a good laugh but not something I wish on anyone. Then you have the friends who go looking for information, then call you wth it. Some things I won't lie made me feel so much better. Just because you are replaced doesn't mean it was by someone better. In the end though its not my problem or my past etc its someone elses.</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></strong><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Verdana;"><strong>Don't say goodbye, Cause goodbye means walking away, And walking away means forgetting -Peter Pan I never want or will forget, its part of my life!</strong></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05344395918244959493noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1919477764275763181.post-31267607777891952182010-09-14T18:54:00.000-04:002010-09-14T18:54:31.382-04:00Time to tell my story about the exes getting married.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzH2uNWpM_EzAYAJ3_S2BGZ2Dfp5qqg_cD57KVGDGUQd4e58EVUk9a7ROwyJVMXPD02ynaJzbjMltVzWEda_8XRI9DMJ8jlZ1TLw6Z2jDGwLhAWOt8muy0Cv2SKFludTuZHPg-EdBo1dzl/s1600/Donna1228-vi.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" qx="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzH2uNWpM_EzAYAJ3_S2BGZ2Dfp5qqg_cD57KVGDGUQd4e58EVUk9a7ROwyJVMXPD02ynaJzbjMltVzWEda_8XRI9DMJ8jlZ1TLw6Z2jDGwLhAWOt8muy0Cv2SKFludTuZHPg-EdBo1dzl/s320/Donna1228-vi.png" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here we go. Ok many see me posting on my page about how two of my exes are getting married this week. Heck same day and time they must of talked and planned it that way. Broken Angel yes but going to be a Strong Angel. You can break me, hurt me but you won't knock me down.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana;">So lets start with the latest ex. He was a cheating, lying, selfish Bas***d.</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana;">I caught him over and over, cheating, lying etc. I took it for I loved him and wanted us to be together. Here is a helpful hint, your child don't like them, that's a HUGE sign. I took his crap over and over. Eventually came to a point I was just using him for his contacts because he had ones I needed for somethingt I am working on. Thankfully after the break up he let me still us those contacts. So he comes to me today and invites me to his wedding. REALLY?!?!?! Why would think I would want to be there??? He is marrying a woman like 8 years older then him. What is that about?</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana;">The only reason he got let go was because I was walking on the avenue with Alexis and she spotted him, then asked why he was hugging and kissing another woman. Gosh my heart shattered, why did my child have to see that. So today he has been posting on his FB page about his upcoming wedding I finally had to hide it all. Then sending out emails to people who in turned emailed them to me. Thanks.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>Final note on this ex I don't really care what happens..especially with all he put me through also after coming to me and inviting me to wedding. Do I think they will make it? I doubt it buy hey who knows</strong></span>.<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana;">Now on to the next ex. Well surprise surprise, I just found out that while he was talking to me he was also talking to his future wife. He couldn't wait to talk to me, tell me how he was never losing me again, love my daughter couldn't wait to be her daddy. In the meantime he is talking to another girl, having an online romance with her. Tell me he is so sad we can't be together especially for the holidays I go and buy him gifts. Then I felt bad for that was all i sent and tells me they were the best things for that is all he got and was alone!!! WTF He was telling me how we were going to be married etc in the meantime he is telling someone the same thing. He came to town to see his family and claims he was sick. Apparently he was not for I understand she was her with him. WTF again. My daughter cried for days for she was so sick and blamed herself for us not being able to see him. My daughter went out of her way to make friends with him for she wanted to see me happy and was so looking forward to a new daddy. He told her how he was going to play in the snow with her, take her place, do daddy things with her. Crap man this guy promise to come and save me from the hell I was living in and he knows what i mean by that. Why he had the opportunity to leave me alone. We stopped talking in August and yes because I was a total nut case. I am not going to lie. For I got insecure and felt something was wrong and became totally insane. BUT I WAS RIGHT SOMETHING WAS WRONG!!! Tell me he has eyes for no one else but me. Why not just walk away at that point. sure i wrote a letter asking for forgiveness. Said we were fine, we discussed having a baby. I went to dr got told had to see a high risk ob\gyn, so i go thinking we are having a baby. Start the ball rolling to get custody in order\child support etc. Tell him look I got to take you off Alexis' page for going to lawyers about her dad. Next thing I know he stops telling me he loves, stops talking to me, we would poke each other a few times a day that stopped . I used to post things on his page, getting deleted. again WTF ..So the gut always knows, I knew there had to be someone else for he never deleted my post......So instead of breaking up with me he lets me find out on FB WTF again. Then he saw the wrath of Donna I was ready to crush him and good. Oh if he is reading this I was the one that helped you with your thing I don't want to say what for then people will figure out who you are. But I was the one who sent you all the emails told you what they were saying. As well you promised to give me a spot. Hard to get into for then it gives to much information but you know what I am talking about. You never gave me a chance!!! I spent days and hours emailing you stuff. </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana;">Worse part of it all Alexis got her heart broken. She went out of her way to send things for she felt bad he was alone. Damn it he even told her he loved us and that true love can't be broken...I deserved better then that. After all the years I totally deserved better. Sure right now I am mad and if he was in front of me, oh what I would do to him. But I am mad for the fact that I had to find out again this way him posting something. When it happened I just asked for an answers, he deleted me out of his life. Ok I understand for the wrath of Donna was getting intense. I still deserved some answers, well I guess I just got some. </span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana;">Final not on this ex: he truly is a friend and jaws dropping. Oh yeah he hurt me bad so bad and just did again when I read something he just wrote. I never ever lied to him, just very insecure, afraid of getting hurt. And look what happened, got hurt and was right to be insecure. I was into the relationship 100% sure I was not perfect but now I see neither was he. Why he is still my friend well he wasn't for many months. He made the requested recently and I sat staring at it. Wasn't sure what I wanted to do. It took me a good hour before I accepted. For I wasn't sure what the intention was behind it. I went for it and prayed it wasn't going to lead me to more hurt and pain. I had forgiven him but I will never ever forget. The hurt I felt in January I just felt again after reading what I did. For I had the opportunity to date someone here and didn't for I was so loyal to him. I was so IN LOVE WITH HIM. So as for him now.. I love him, from the first time we spent together (ROTFLMAO inside joke) till now. I will always love him. He will always have a special place in my heart and that is an honor. For only one other man has that, my late husband. Why does this man get the honor, because he was my first love, something he doesn't even know, well he knows now if reading this. I don't want to lose him out of my life again. All he really had to do was talk to me, just call me and tell me he found someone else. It was the least he could of done being we are friends for so many years as well to do it out of respect. The guy I knew was always a kind, friendly, funny, caring person. Part of me feels he still is that way. Part of me thinks he has totally changed, but guess its the hurt talking. Gosh one thing I will never forget about him is he has the most beautiful smile and eyes, they just made me melt. Mr X if you are reading this, really all you had to do was talk to me. I don't understand why you didn't. I am very happy to have you back in my life as a friend. I may not sound ok or sound mad etc its just I got information that shocked me and hurt. Plus I had to find out that way. Also let me say I am sorry for losing it at the time. I know I said some hurtful things, but I was hurting my whole world was shattered. I wanted you to feel what I was feeling. I want to cause you so much pain. Instead just decided to heal myself and my heart. All in all I am good, I have made my peace with it all. Love is love even when we make peace we still hope and hurt at times. All you had to do was be honest, then say you were sorry. </span></strong><strong><span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></strong><strong><span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana;">I truly wish you and your future wife all the happiness,love and luck in the world. </span></strong>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05344395918244959493noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1919477764275763181.post-36346808749898185702010-09-06T22:11:00.000-04:002010-09-06T22:11:34.117-04:00The Facebook Zynga Podcast~~~9/6/10<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFdAtCLg5W0Gci51sz4IuFL5GMR8OxPWoWviWfdtbKgRKoDcQJ1SL0bbOpxQoafmwp073PvkFMeEbYz-tYnN7gpyR6WJd5Ao4G99DR2vAeqqq925mFmTbAqgV4yaqgnxWr2aULjbxDPhJv/s1600/mafia2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFdAtCLg5W0Gci51sz4IuFL5GMR8OxPWoWviWfdtbKgRKoDcQJ1SL0bbOpxQoafmwp073PvkFMeEbYz-tYnN7gpyR6WJd5Ao4G99DR2vAeqqq925mFmTbAqgV4yaqgnxWr2aULjbxDPhJv/s320/mafia2.jpg" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So lets get started first let me say, Jeez the one week I need John to be professional he decides to goof around..well thanks a lot John....LOL Man he changes direction like the wind. All in all I love him NOT!!! He is killing me!!</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana;">Anyhow, let me start with John had his game face back on this week. He sounded great, he was more in control and had lots of life. Unlike last week he sounded like he was doing us all a favor. :-D Joanne was on as co-host.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana;">So John started out by sending out condolences to several peoples families and clans that lost people this week. Lets take a minute to pray for those families. </span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana;">Of course I can't blog without a complaint! What would my blogs about his show be without at least one. So he is thinking now what? This week it wasn't him it was a caller who was cutting him off. LOL I know this again, I am sorry its a pet peeve of mine plus its hard to get the information. At least it wasn't them this week :-D Then I have to remember that it is a fun podcast and not so formatted so things will happen. That is not a bad thing!!! Don't need everyone emailing that I am being mean. All I am saying is John and Joanne doing it in a more relax format. Example the friends calling in and joking around etc. </span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana;">So onto the shows information enough picking on John, for now. lol John talked about a site called Global Resource Center, website is grou.ps\resource\home. He has more information about this on the Facebook Zynga Podcast fan page on FB. Basically they will have FB news\scams\Zynga news\Internet news. John has a subgroup for the show\his blogs. I don't have much on this for at this point of show John did get lower for some reason.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana;">Next he spoke of a site called Kelsey Live. com. Yes its Kelsey Grammer the actor. Its a one stop shop for social networks, Twitter, FB, MySpace etc. They also have tv shows, music, sports etc. John feels the site has potential if they work it right. Kelsey has twitted John. So John is on Twitter if you want more from him. Gosh how much more of him can we take...LOL He is all over my page what about yours? :-D So back to the site, it doesn't have games like MW or Farmville etc but it has arcade games. It has right now about 18,113 members. There are celebrities on the site. John likes that you can combine all social sites in one spot.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana;">John talked about how its Labor Day and the Jerry Lewis Telethon. He did a lot of work for it was he was a kid, still does when he can. He hoped everyone helped out with what they can. I think many of us did something for it when we were kids. I told my daughter about it, she is looking to do something for next year. We currently do lemonade stand for St. Jude's Hospital. Jerry's kids need the help too. So please try and send something. Every little bit helps.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana;">So to the first caller, she wanted to say hello as well discuss security issues. She has her FB wide open to everyone for she is an artist and wants it that way. She wants the information available.</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana;">John mentions how that is not only open to FB but to the web. He has his wall open to everyone but hides the rest of his page. You have to hide the information you don't want out there. At one time all FB information was private you had to make it public now its reverse. </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana;">Caller of course said people shouldn't put things they don't want seen on page. As well it comes down to personal responsibility then to FB. At least that is what I think was said. </span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana;">They then spoke about Facebook Places. John explained how its for you mobile phone and can't track you unless you are using phone and logged in. You can't be tagged without your consent. It tells your friends where you are if you want them to know. Talk about getting even lazier now instead of calling friends we let them track us through Facebook Places. HMMM I think now this might come in handy for something. Whoo Hoo thanks for the heads up.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana;">Next caller having Zynga problems. He bought Zynga points one minute they were there the next they were gone. He has been contact Zynga and no such luck. John suggested Live Chat caller said it just a loop and took him back where he started. He asked John for help, John gave him two phone numbers then told him if he didn't get anywhere to email John. John offered to talk to Zynga to see if he could get it fixed.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana;">Third caller mentioned that the previous caller could cancel credit card purchase and when Zynga comes for money then get your points. They got into the credit card information again and how if you buy something your credit information is stored and you have to go and remove it.</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana;">The caller wanted to know about FB credits. Do you get them based on how long you are on site etc. John says everyone got 20 credits when the started it and when you buy something for games you are given a few extra.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana;">John then got into FB news. Talked more about disabling accounts and how it is slowing down. Could be do to people complaining and companies like Zynga complaining. Ok John didn't use the work complaining he used another..John now now and you call yourself a Reverend!! LOL</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana;">There are still issues with adding people to your account. You can't do it if you don't know them personally. It will ask and you need to say yes if you are looking to build up your MW family etc. </span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana;">New Security Feature coming out, this one John likes. Many people leave work, home, library etc and forget to log out of their Facebook Acct. Now people can come along and post things that can be damaging. So FB new feature is you can go to acct security and all active sessions will be listed and you can then close them down.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana;">Another good feature is when you are away from pc and know you logged off you can now get email and text when acct is logged into. Then you have the ability to go to above feature and end session. John recommends this and to get email and text. If you get email or text John highly suggest you change password immediately. He says you should changed password every month.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana;">FB came out with Credit Gift Cards now available at Target. Use these on your game purchases instead of your credit card. This way you don't have your credit information on file and can't be stolen. FB coming out with this to be sure they get there 30%. Hey in the end its all about money. Like they don't have enough as it is. </span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana;">Next up was San Juan, how it turned into a nightmare for Zynga. People didn't access, some got white screen, page reloading etc. Just an total nightmare. Zynga told John that it would be back and they would give everyone time to finish it. Sadly those who started have to start all over. Now that is a bummer. Zynga needs to test these things out to be sure the server can handle it. Don't work don't put it out there. </span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana;">John mentioned how Zynga and Facebook are listening to the show so if you have issues tune in. John mentioned his mafia pages, Don Sweeney Pimping Club for Mafia Wars, Don Sweeney Pimping Club for other games and he as many more. He doesn't pimp now because of all the problems with the disabling of adding to many people etc. So they are self pimp sites now. As well he doesn't want to get disabled. I remember when he first started Don Sweeney Pimping Club, he was a hit and soon got disabled. He had to start all over again and it was no fun for him. He had a lot of great friends to be there for support and help him start over.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana;">He thanked everyone for their support and for listening. They are there to help and keep everyone informed with what is going on. Like I mentioned last week, he could have a good thing with this if he stays on the right pace. Tonight's show was good, he was more on his game. Was glad to hear him with more life, not so happy he was in a goofy mood. I have people listening to him tonight and he does this. UGH LOL Rather they heard this week then last weeks, that truly would of killed things. </span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #073763; font-family: Verdana;">Final Note: John and Joanne will not be doing on show on Sept 20th for they are getting married on Sept 17th. So send Joanne all your condolences oh best wishes...LOL Kidding John! Really stop by and wish them both all the best. Myself and John's other friends are taking bets odds are 50-1 he goes through with it, if so then its 1000-1 he lasts a year. ROTFLMAO Again ONLY KIDDING!!!! You know we all love you. Alexis and I wish you all the luck and happiness in the world. Tell Joanne if she needs a good divorce lawyer I know one...LOL </span></strong><br />

<strong><span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Oh I just had the greatest laugh. You have those friends that like for me the other day called to tell me news they knew would hurt me and upset me. </span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana;">Today I had a friend who turned the whole thing around. Found out where one of the weddings is taking place. So my friend says come on we will get you a pregnant lady costume and go to the wedding. When they say is there anyone one objects you stand up and yell out what about me and our love child....ROTFL. So I said they may not have that part in the ceremony, so she says ok so when he is about to say his vows then you do it. LOL She is to much, then she says go and sit exactly where he can see you when he is taking his vows. If you are in eye sight maybe he will say your name instead of hers like in Friends. LOL That's a good one.</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana;">Gosh she is to funny and what a friend. Then we came up with some other things, it was good to talk evil but I don't have the heart to do something like that. Well give me a few drinks I might do it. :-D Nah I was brought up better plus its just not me. Besides let them have a nice day for after the big day its all down hill. They have no idea what they are about to face...LOL </span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana;">Then we talked about a bunch of other things that went on in our lives. What has gone on with me in the last year or so. You don't realize how much until you talk about it. In the end, I am happy once again. I have been married so I know what its like, not easy. Once you have that piece a paper everything changes. Don't let anyone tell you differently. I loved my husband so much. We were never fought or went to bed mad, got a piece of paper..it all went another way. So single life is just what I want and need. We really had such a good laugh at our past.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana;">AAAHHHH great to laugh so hard. That's a best friend there to help and be plot the revenge. :-D Only thing is the two of us would never for we don't have the heart or nerve lol. Plus why hurt the poor girl and ruin her special day for that is the last time she will be truly happy. Ok maybe knocking marriage to much do to my pain, maybe it could be wonderful. Yeah right!!! LOL </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana;">Need a marriage counselor or divorce lawyer call or email me. </span></strong><br />

For some reason all of a sudden I am getting emails and calls about two of my exes. </span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana;">Odd enough they are both getting married this month, something I didn't know until today! So thank you everyone for emailing and calling me to tell me. Now that sounds like I am still hurting or have feelings. Well I was in love with both- one more, no not saying which. So does it sting a little yeah sure but I have worked very hard to put my heart and life back together. One will always have a special place in my heart. I knew one was engaged the most recent ex I am shocked its very quick and she is much older than him. Hey look I am the best looking, sweetest, caring, funny woman either of them ever had...LOL kidding ~~well :-D</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana;">My problem is I am getting calls and emails asking me how holding up. </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana;">One bunch of friends (ex marrying older woman) are calling for he wanted to know if I knew and what I was feeling. Okay now he knew I didn't know so did he do it on spite. Did he do it to hurt me or to see if I would take him back. I am not sure, but he doesn't have a chance with me. My thought is how do you marry someone so fast. You hardly know the person. For this guy well he did me wrong more than once so he is done for good. I don't even want to be friends with him and that is not like me. </span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana;">Now on to the other one, I am not really sure what's up with that. For I know I have friends, who are friends with people he knows. So now are they being nosey and want details or is it true he is asking down that chain to find out. Now this guy knows he could email and just ask me, talk to me etc. I am in the process of trying to get more information. Is it just people being nosey that is messed up for they knew how I felt about him. If is him looking to find out well I will tell you..why you don't email me I don't know..so here you go...I wish you the best of luck and happiness. You are a sweet, caring person. You are a dear friend and I'm always here for you.</span></strong>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05344395918244959493noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1919477764275763181.post-27258447765851263762010-09-04T19:03:00.000-04:002010-09-04T19:03:59.896-04:00The Facebook Zynga Podcast 8/30/10<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiGbQVRoo8She97Fvr5ZeVDbO5eusDu4Bvq7LxOPOTMAozvuYbKNF7H8rwYDsr1iPLusaWDjPt7Q4G_ynDGFrugVJdZ5rqdoQsJRPa3AapbjS8S0a_KZwpCJ_JoFStm8R2kKSHOQ2Gpfur/s1600/Donna-123.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiGbQVRoo8She97Fvr5ZeVDbO5eusDu4Bvq7LxOPOTMAozvuYbKNF7H8rwYDsr1iPLusaWDjPt7Q4G_ynDGFrugVJdZ5rqdoQsJRPa3AapbjS8S0a_KZwpCJ_JoFStm8R2kKSHOQ2Gpfur/s320/Donna-123.png" /></a></div><strong><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: magenta; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Okay so where do I start? Let me first say I am sorry to John for he may not like this blog or my other one. </span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: magenta; font-family: Verdana;">This week the show was slow. John started out joking about can you hear me now in reference to last week show. Explained why the show went down and such. John is again joined by co-host Joanne. Joanne seems to be the dominant one out of the two. Even when speaking she is much louder then John not sure its their equipment but you can hardly hear him. </span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: magenta; font-family: Verdana;">They spoke more about FB disabling accounts and how FB becoming more anti social. As well talked about how FB has no real customer service and having privacy issues.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: magenta; font-family: Verdana;">Spoke about how people were putting up real hit list and 3 people were killed. As well a girl in England thought she was talking to teenager went to meet the person and was killed. Facebook needs to jump on this a lot quicker. John mentioned in the middle of the night he saw nude photos being posted on feed. (We know he loved that..LOL) </span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: magenta; font-family: Verdana;">The show was mostly on FB, them disabling accounts, law suits and other things. Want more information you can listen to John's podcast or check out my other blog, will be posted to my FB page soon. They did touch on things from last week because showed got cut off for technical difficulties just seemed so dragged out for the first 40 minutes. Plus its a call in show, he used to announce that at the start of the show with number no more. Plus he would repeat during show again no more. Joanne did mention it once. I wish we got to hear more from other players. No one is on skype or typing in live chat either I guess. He had 4 calls and only 2 were about Facebook or Zynga. I know he has lots of friends who want to show support but players want help and information. I had said he was 80% professional in last blog but not so much this week. He sounded very tired or just out of it.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: magenta; font-family: Verdana;">They did touch on Zynga briefly about how they are ending Cross Promotions at the end of month (August) but turns out its still running. Touched on how the Pignatas promotion was a failure. You can only collect 3 in a 24 hour period and it only ran for the weekend. DUMB!!! Zlotto was talked about, it has some good things if you are interested. </span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: magenta; font-family: Verdana;">First a reminder, John is a very dear friend and I say what I do out of friendship and care for him. This week show wasn't his best. I don't know he just seemed out of it, he was talking but had no life in him. Joanne had more life in her voice. I know John well enough to know that this is a passion of his and wants to help everyone but also for this to be a stepping stone for him and his career. He has to put his game face back on. I know he cares for the gamers but this show he sounded like he was out of it. Plus they were doing better with the talking over and this week it happened again. I know it happens not sure it can't be totally fixed. You lose what is being said by one as the other cuts in. I don't know that either of them know they are doing it, again may be their equipment.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: magenta; font-family: Verdana;">John has something really good here, he could take this so far. He said that FB, Zynga and others are listening. If so then he should have an outline for how he wants the show to go. Show them he has it together and is 100% pro. He has put to much time and effort into FB\Zynga to get them to listen. Don't want them to bail for some stupid thing like can't hear him etc. Even I have something in the works and they are going to start listening this week. So I need you to put your game face on, get the juices flowing and liven up!! :-D</span></strong>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05344395918244959493noreply@blogger.com0
