Cruisin' [Mom - Don't read this. Bad words.]

So, I'm cruisin' around the interwebs last night, as I am wont to do... I have my favorites. One of them is Rachel Lucas. She is THE Doll of the Interwebs. Oh. And, she's "all international" and all now. Having moved from that hick place - Texas - in the States - to England... I get there. I want to read comments to this post. I get this:

What the heLL? Illegal or questionable?!? What the __ uck is that?!! Thank you so much Websense. Most useless program in the entire world. So much gets censored - and I'm not "cruisin'" for anything that I consider to be bad. Not like I'm searching p0rn0sites or trying to learn how to do something illicit. And it is all so hypocritical. Unbelievable. All I want to do is read a comment or two. I get "censored." The whole free speech thing? Not here. And don't believe anything else that you might read otherwise about that elsewhere. [Although, apparently, for about $100.00 a month - with NO downloads - I could get Orbit satellite and get around the censors. Seems like an awful lot to pay for just internet.] How comforting it is to know that I am being protected from myself. Welcome to my world!

  1. We pay for the Orbit, with downloads. Before we made that decision I would get hung up on Cooks.com, of all places, looking for recipes for chicken breasts. Go figure. The SatNet prevents me from throwing major hissy fits of frustration.

  2. DH keeps saying, "As soon as the contract is up with Showtime, we'll check into it." Contract with Showtime is too easy to just keep going. To get both - for both TV's - would be like $350.00 a month - and that isn't including the computer hookup. Very expensive. Of course, to have ONE package where you could get everything would be far too easy, right?

  3. Thank you for providing the link. It might be cruel on my part, but here is just a snippet of what the thought police are depriving you of. Perhaps I can form an alliance with your other blog commenters so they can each slip in the remaining thirty six comments - one at a time!

    I like you’re “dog thoughts.” Wasn’t that a joke some time ago — some mad scientist made it so a dog would talk instead of barking and all it had to say was “I’m a dog! I’m a dog! Look at me, I’m a dog!”

  4. Wachel posted pictures and descriptions of her birthday trip to Amsterdam. You have to walk past a lot of prostitutes to get to the Van Gough museum.

  5. Sabra, from my understanding you can get the Orbit Satnet without getting the TV hookup. If you can, go to the Orbit site and check it out. It is so worth the money even though it IS a little pricey. My DH feels it is better to spend a little cash for my sanity level because I do a lot of medical research and you just KNOW how I would go off getting blocked. Oh and this suggestion is from my DH. He says if you rapidly and repeatedly hit the the F5 key, it will get you through to the blocked site because so much traffic goes through the main MU that they can't block all them all the time. It is a PITA but it does work.

  6. I can get to her blog, vermindust, and for the most part - except for the post the other day - can read the comments as well. Just one more way, though, that the powers that be here want to make my life absolutely f^cking miserable. As if...

  7. Good to know about the F5 key, Linda. Will try it when I have some patience - and that is NOT today.

    Will also get to the Orbit site to check out just getting internet. I, like you, am willing to make DH realize that no matter what the cost [okay - within reason], if it will keep me from wanting to spit nails it will be worth it.

  8. Thanks, StDiesel. Like I told vermindust, I can get to her blog - it is her comments from one post the other day that was blocked. But I do appreciate your sharing. How many comments were there to that post? 57? You've only got 56 more to share!

  9. Oh lord there is no telling! I'm surprised SA ever lets you even access my site at all, what with all the naughty words. LOL. Heck I'm surprised they don't block you just for "LOL".

  10. Blessed with a visit from the Internet DOLL herself. Thanks for visiting, Rachel. Do stop by again.

    Bad words? Lots and lots of 'em here. Wait. Naw-tee words, they are now, aren't they? Thankfully I can still get to your site. Just tell your commenters to watch what they are posting - or I won't be able to read the comments.

    :)
