Apps

I officially joined #teamiphone and have been enjoying the experience, but now that I have started with the apps I am so involved. So I decided that I will be periodically sharing the apps that I am using. The apps I am using this week are Tweegram, Instagram , and Voxer.
Ok tweegram let you personalize ur message with different backgrounds and you can add pictures and it will post to facebook,twitter,tumblr and instagram and a few other social network. Voxer turns your phone into a walkie talkie where U can send voice and picture message. If you ever had a nextel phone it will remind you of PTT. Last but not least is Instagram its like Tumblr but iphone exclusive. You can share the pictures with friends and family and you followers. Those are the apps that I am fancy on.

I AM MIDDLE CLASS AMERICA!!!!

More than 45,000 workers are on strike today at Verizon Communications. Bargaining continues. Since bargaining began on June 22, Verizon has refused to move from a long list of concession demands. As the contract expired, nearly 100 concessionary company proposals remained on the table.As a result, CWA and IBEW have decided to take the unprecedented step of striking until Verizon stops its Wisconsin-style tactics and starts bargaining seriously.Even at the 11th hour, as contracts were set to expire, Verizon continued to seek to strip away 50 years of collective bargaining gains for middle class workers and their familiesCWA and IBEW members are prepared to return to work when management demonstrates the willingness to begin bargaining seriously for a fair agreement. If not, CWA and IBEW members and allies will continue the fight.

I AM MIDDLE CLASS AMERICA!

DAY 1

@ 1 AM I received a call advising me that CWA/IBEW were on strike against Verizon. That the negotiations went south and that the two parties are no longer at the table. I was a little shocked only because I felt as though we would work with out a contract until they came to an agreement. My mind is going a million miles a minute I am trying to get focused. I have 4 people who are also affected by this....my children. So no matter what I have to be strong. I go to look at facebook and Twitter through out the day and see that Verizon is a trending topic. SO the word is out. I read some of the post which are inspirational some just hateful. This is going to be a real fight. I am a christian and believer in prayer so I give it to GOD and log off.

DAY 2

Today is my 35 th birthday. O what a blessing. I am happy to be able to see another year. I wont be getting teh royal treatment today I am getting my family ready for a rally at the chesapekae complex. I will spend my birthday on on the picket line fighting for my job. My oldest daughter had to work and its to hot to have the baby out so I take him to daycare. My sister who ALWAYS supports me comes to my house with her red shirt on and camera ready, I have 2 of my 4 children with me so lets go and make some noise. When we arrive to the Rally its a sea of red shirts , its actually a good feeling to see that alot of people came out. I didnt expect this many people to take it serious. I see many of my co -workers from my office and some from other departments that I know. My daughter leans over and says " Ma this is real important huh"? I smile and shake my head yes! My sister understands and jumps in taking pictures and video. She knows that I will ALWAYS have other options but it shold be on my own terms. We walk we chant we scream CWA.... WHAT DO WANT?....... A CONTRACT.... WHEN DO WE WANT IT?.....NOW!!!!!

DAY3

Today I go the gym and do the 30 minute work-out and call about my account. Wow my bill is simple and the person couldnt explain my bill to me. WHAT A MESS! I spent some time with my youngest daughter and I prepare to walk the line tomorrow!

Day 4

Today I went to picket a Verizon Wireless store. There is an issue with wireless not being specific on the signs so we are unable to do that the police makes us move. So off to Ballys I go. Eliptical gets this stress today, and a 30 minute work out that helps me with the frustration

DAY 5

I get up early and take my youngest to the daycare. I have my oldest and youngest daughters with me they are prepared to walk the line. Whenwe get there my daughter jump right in the circle screaming CWA and learning the cadences in no time. we walk and walk and scream and sing and walk some more. I am looking around and its alot of families out there. Middle Class America is READY praying we all hold strong!

DAY 6

I get to the line to complete my last hour and man its amazing how things change in 24 hours the police now are there and there is no more minute wait. A director has hit someone on the line and emotions are REALLY running high. So now Verizon security is present along with police. WOW! this is the 1st week. Scab List is out MAN O MAN!

I AM MIDDLE CLASS AMERICA AND THIS AFFECTS ME DIRECTLY!!

Troub!e

The bodies of the missing mother and Child have been found....UGH!!!!

Ok I am so tired of people killing these innocent children. The bodies of Wynetta Wright and her 1 year old daughter Jaylin have been found. The bodies were found on June 2.2011 Wynetta was found in the woods and the Jaylin in her car seat in the car. The police have 39 year old Richmond Phillips in custody and he has been charged with the murders of Wynetta and Jaylin. Richmond Phillips a DC narcotics officer is the father of Jaylin. Mr Phillips who has a wife and a 12 year old daughter was upset about a paternity and child support case that was pending. They were to go to court the day after Wynetta and the baby disappeared. Mr Phillip’s wife was not aware of the affair or his 1 year old daughter. NOW IF YOU ASK ME!!!!! Mr Phillips is a coward who deserves in my opinion to be tortured daily for taking the life of an innocent 1 year old little girl. He played the game and procreated it is what it is. She did not ask for him to not wear a condom for her to be born, furthermore if you were going to court it was already documented( U would think that he would know this being a police office and all) HE made that decision so to fix his mistake he ended her life. LOSER! Now in prison as a narcotics officer and child murderer his time there should be interesting HA!!!! OK I am sorry for the obvious anger and sarcasm but what is the world really coming to where all you see is dead children in the news?

WhErE wErE yOu BoRn?

So there was all this fuss about the birth place of President Barack Obama. So that it was called “the birther movement” People ranted raved that he needed to show us his birth certificate and prove that he is a citizen. ***Scratches my Head*** Excuse me WHAT? You are making such a big deal of this NOW? He has been in office 2 years are you serious? O I get it this is so that you can have something to complain about. I believe it was more about his race than his birth certificate. So President Obama has presented his birth certificate for all to see. Now we will see what issue they will use next...........

Phylicia Barnes

I have really been dreading writing about this only because I REALLY wanted this situation to have a different outcome. Well for all who didn’t know the body of Phylicia Barnes was found floating in the Susquehanna River near the Conowingo Dam. She was found naked and her race could not be determined at that time they only knew that they had a female body. Well after a few hours into the investigation someone stated that she had a tattoo similar to that of Phylicia. While everyone watched the news holding their breath it was becoming obvious by the updates that they knew that it was the body of Phylicia. So watching and waiting the medical examiner requested her dental records. So while watching and waiting we all hoped that it wasn’t her. I scrolled through the articles about her disappearance and really became upset that no one would say anything and that everyone just sat in silence and watched this family suffer. I refuse to believe that no one saw anything. I than started to think of the positives, that her family didn’t give up and that they kept fighting to keep her everywhere. I thought of the 200 volunteers who helped search the Patapsco state park, and that helped to remind me that humanity is not completely lost. I applaud the Baltimore City Police that they kept searching and kept the case moving even when running into dead ends. So in the midst of all this playing out in my mind a breaking news alert comes across that screen Phylicia’s dad advised a NC TV station that it was her body that was found. So now the family has her and some form of closure. It makes me think about the distance between where she was and where she ended up, doesn’t make sense. How did she get there? How long has she been there? I know these are the same questions the family is asking. Well Today the Baltimore Homicide Investigators advised that her death has been ruled a homicide and that she was in fact murdered. They are not releasing how she was murdered or how they came to that conclusion, because it is important to the case. They have now started to re-interview anyone who was in that apartment the last night. They have also started interviewing family in and outside of Maryland. The police also state that they are open to the idea that more that one person was involved. I hope and pray that everyone that has something to do with what happen to this girl is caught and they get what is DUE to them. The funeral is private but it is being streamed for those that want to log on to pay their respects www.sbclive.org.

What Do You See In This Pic?

It has been a busy couple of weeks for the news outlets, which leaves a lot on Trouble’s mind. I am going to start with this photograph that is speaking volumes without narration. It was taking in the situation room during the seize of Osama Bin Laden’s compound. The looks of concentration and for Hillary Clinton covering her mouth she may have been shocked. It doesn’t show discord or the military making the move without their leadership it shows a concerted effort. A lot of the news outlets would have you believe that the military did the mission and than filled in the white house, but this pic shows the exact opposite of that. This lecture will be considered historical and will be discussed for years to come. I know that our president has been looked at to be to meek and some cases weak, but I have to admit that the President Obama has that silent but deadly thing going on. I LIKE IT! He should have said “don’t worry about what I am doing just know I am doing something”

HELLO!

I wasn't missing I was multi tasking. Thanks for looking for me.

You Want To Teach My Kids WHAT?!?!?!

. California is trying to pass a bill that would add homosexuality, gay rights and the lesbian gay bisexual and transgender agenda to the curriculum and text books. I understand the need to have some things added into a curriculum for education. I believe that things like the holocaust, slavery, and the discovery of America needs to be taught. I agree that mathematics, Science, and English are important to learning and molding who you are and where you come from. I agree that children should be taught human rights and the struggle that have plagued mankind. I do not agree with a teacher explaining homosexuality, gay rights and the lesbian gay bisexual and transgender agenda to my children. I feel the same about sexual education I feel it is something that needs to be taught at home. With education being on the back burner due to budget cuts and our children being able to barely count and spell adding that to the curriculum should not be a priority. I understand that what’s happening with the Gay community is considered a civil rights issue, but it should be up to the parents. What grade would you teach such a thing? I understand that they want to marry and have the same rights as married couples, but what else is on the agenda? I have a few questions and this is such a broad spectrum that it could leave a lot to interpretation and a few other things that will not pertain to civil rights could end up being discussed. The US educational system is just above passing and can barely teach our children the basics to pass state assessments. Now for California a state that is bankrupt and giving out IOU’s for state income tax that is just ludicrous that this would be a priority for them. What’s next? Shaking My Head.

WHO HAS YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS?

I have been considering getting a dummy e-mail, one that I would only use to sign up for services and shop online. I figured that would be a lot of help especially with all the advertisements.I just want to check my email without all the ads and stuff, and I have heard of companies being hacked before but never have I personally been affected until now. I received several emails from different companies that I shopped with online, or done some type of business online with them stating that the company that handles their email address has been compromised and that the ONLY thing that was taken was your email address and they may have had access to your name. The email than goes on to say that it’s not much that they can do but possibly spam your inbox which can be a minor nuisance but nothing to worry about. EXCUSE ME? I don’t like SPAM and you have no idea who accessed it and what kind of SPAM they will sending. So for all you know they could be sending out trojan worms to come for the computers in my home and the names in my address book. That is not a minor nuisance that is putting my computer, pictures, and files in danger. Not to mention money that I will have put into my investment (my computer) if it is compromised due to someone on your end not doing their job. So Epsilon don’t minimize how serious this really is and who is responsible…. WHEW!!! I JUST HAD TO RANT. I get enough spam. Its getting so that I wont be opening any emails on my own computer scared that one is the ticking time bomb…..So be careful of which emails you are opening ,because you don’t know who has your email address.
