General Discussion / Facebook Issue (Need to Vent)

« on: December 06, 2012, 08:17:11 PM »

Early this morning when I was checking my news-feed, a window popped up saying I uploaded photos that "sexually explicit" or does not meet their guidelines and they're not telling me which ones. I reviewed all the photos I uploaded and I never really see anything inappropriate. Unless they're talking about the photos of the Dallas Mavericks Dancers at the Saturday Night basketball game I attended, that's not even close to inappropriate. Besides, there are kids watching and they would never cross the line. I would never cross the line myself. Heaven knows I didn't deserve what I've been put through. But because of such accusations, I'm unable to upload any photos for the next 3 days. Probably, Facebook has changed something they shouldn't have...again.  Or someone found something I posted "offensive" (These days, many people out there take offense to everything). I wanna know what's going on, who started it all and why? There will be no judgement on their part, just a long talking down to. And maybe turn the tables on them and figure out how they would like it if I reported them for all the wrong reasons. I've already written about this to the FB staff.

This wasn't the first Facebook incident. Earlier this year, someone opened up an account with my name and photo pretending to be me. I've already put a stop to that after I spotted it.

Anyone else experienced these kinds of problems?

My personal favorite from a "Chef" episode I've seen.

"I'm singing in the rain / Yes, singing in the rain / What a glorious feeling....I'M HAPPY AGAIN!! "

As I was station surfing, I heard "Take Five" by The Dave Brubeck Quartet on 91.7 KXT almost 1/2 an hour before I learned of Brubeck's passing.

Dave Brubeck is definitely a great jazz legend. He'll surely be missed.

That's just plain wrong! I hope that convenience store gets a fine slapped onto them because emergency vehicles are an obvious exception to right-of-way rules. That incident could have also cost someone their life 

Guess what Zach, this happened.

Man who booted ambulance issued citation, fired

NEW ORLEANS - The fallout continues for a convenience store that placed a boot on a working ambulance while EMT’s with New Orleans EMS were inside trying to save a man's life.

I'm just gonna fast-forward to the good part...

“The guy that did this, he came from another country. He didn't even know what an ambulance looked like. He's been fired,” said Ali Colone, a man identified as a worker at Quicky’s. The owners declined to comment, but Colone said the owners are sorry it happened.

How can anyone not know what an ambulance looks like?!?!

"Eminence Front" by The Who must be the opening theme for the Dallas Mavericks during their starting line-up. Heard the song attending my first ever pro-basketball game at American Airlines Center.

General Discussion / Ambulance "Booted" While on Emergency

Just when you thought you've seen it all...
Ambulance gets 'booted' while paramedics tend to emergency

NEW ORLEANS - The Quicky's convenience store in Mid-City takes its parking lot rules seriously. Very seriously.

About 4 p.m. Friday, New Orleans paramedics rushed inside the store for a man with a life-threatening medical issue.

They worked on the patient with chest pain, put him inside the vehicle, then started to speed off.

The paramedics “heard a loud noise,” and the vehicle came to a screeching halt, according to Jeb Tate, spokesman for New Orleans Emergency Medical Services.

The medics stepped out and found a boot on their ambulance.

Convenience store employees allegedly put a restrictive parking boot on the ambulance. And now it was stuck.

The paramedics were perplexed.

Tate said the ambulance had its emergency lights on the whole time.

Store employees didn’t want to talk about it. They declined requests for comment.

Apparently one of the employees took the boot off. The tire was left flat.

Lately, there have been some rap songs about how extravagant they are, like "$30 Mil in da bank! $30 grand on my wrist! $20 mo' in ma mouth..." etc. Never has there been a rap song about buying stuff from the Thrift Shop........until now.

MACKLEMORE & RYAN LEWIS - THRIFT SHOP FEAT. WANZ (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

I first heard this "Thrift Shop" song on KHKS 106.1 Kiss FM a few weeks ago, and although it barely went out on the radio, it peaked #1 on "DFW's Most Wanted" countdown show.

I think it's time someone created a rap song for these troubled times.
