A couple of things I need to talk about.

You obviously wouldn't know this, but I don't have as many advertisers as I did a year ago, or two years ago. And things lately have been tough financially.

This week alone, I had to pay $120 for web hosting services and to get the website domain name renewed. I'm trying to get money together so I can get some needed Norton products renewed for my computer.

The point I'm making is I still need help. I still need advertisers. Advertising income helps pay for expenses like I mentioned, and more importantly, things like gas so I can go to games (especially away games) and events to cover them.

You won't find a cheaper place to have your business seen by a lot of people. $35 a month is cheap. If your business is interested in being a sponsor, please email or call me. If you're interested but have financial issues of your own, talk to me because we'll try to work something out.

Now, I need to address the incident yesterday at Walmart where I was accused of stealing someone's spot in line at customer service. To the gentleman who accused me, you were not in line. If you had been, there wouldn't have been a space behind the lady standing line for me to stand in.

You were talking. I'm not psychic, I have no way of knowing what you're doing, and I'm certainly not going to interrupt someone talking not in line to find out if they're in line. And the fact you had to make a spectacle of the situation instead of just simply walking in front of me to get back in line shows you were more interested in drama.

As to the other person who somehow inserted themselves into the situation, your attempts to reenact my movements failed to include the fact that there was a space in the line, the other gentleman wasn't in line.

Both of you saying "we know who you are" was a crass attemp0t at intimidation. One, I'm not exactly unknown, I've been running the site for over 19 years. And if you really "knew" me, and hadn't just seen me taking pictures, you would know that I wasn't trying to break in lie, I simply got in the spot in line that most people would think was the back of the line because again, this other person was talking and NOT in the line.

Maybe the solution is in the future, shop in stores where I'm less likely to run into people who know me, who think they can bully because I'm a locally semi-public person.
