    URL Change

    By Andrea Menzies

    Long live FH7Books.com at WordPress the old URL at FH7publishing.com is dead. Podcasts and other posts are now on FH7Books.com forever. The GoDaddy webpage started to block all users, and was not cheap. I tried moving it to cheaper hosting in a gamble for better service and lost. I only bought a webpage to save photos to someplace other than social media as lawsuits like the one mentioned in the NPR Facebook Contagion article https://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2014/06/30/326929138/facebook-manipulates-our-moods-for-science-and-commerce-a-roundup show many forms of social media are VERY harmful. First I just saved pictures on my computer, but a crash destroyed many. Then Yahoo email photos, then Flicker, then Photobucket, then Dropbox, then Facebook, then Google, then Instagram. The flavor of the week changes daily, and one account hack can destroy thousands of photos forever. Google just tried to lock me out of Google drive this month. I am on my fourth Facebook account as abusive ex-boyfriends with tiny computer hacking skills have stalked me on the Internet trying to destroy my social media pages. WordPress.com is the one place in years that has NOT destroyed my digital photos, but it lacked space on the free plan. Now it is my private webpage plan to save years of photos, and to make a personal webpage that is useful again. I will resume doing podcasts as the web transfer hassle ends.

  • Facebook Emotional Contagion Study

    Facebook Emotional Contagion Study

    By Andrea Menzies

    How are so few people talking about the about the Facebook Emotional Contagion Study where about 700,000 people had their posts manipulated with lies by Facebook, and courts said it was okay due to terms of service saying they can conduct research? I am taking night school classes. Part of the homework was to take the ethics class online at the CITI Program on Social and Behavioral Research clinical section. Some parts of the certificate discussed the Hippocratic Oath and medical privacy which made me want to study healthcare really badly. Some of it discussed unethical practices in clinical research and one part was “Internet-Based Research-SBE” by Alejandro Martinez with a section called “Facebook Emotional Contagion Study and considerations it raised for future researchers and IRB” saying it was lawsuit worthy unethical. I passed the class with all A grades.There were so many lawsuits about lies on Facebook made by Facebook. Why are so few people talking about how Facebook is killing people as lab rats? It is written into their terms of service that they can just manipulate people for research whenever they feel like it. They received no consent from users to do research other than information buried in the terms of service. I quit Facebook before, but I went back on because several of my Texas friends got sick in the hospital and it was the only way to say get well soon. Now I am limiting my posts again because people are highly underestimating how evil Facebook truly is daily. If your phone goes dead there are few printed maps, and no phone books as people have traded most all paper printed information for the digital print. Is that really such a great idea? Before Trump people thought the lies were no big deal. It is becoming lawsuit worthy daily.

  • Dreamhost Is Terrible

    Dreamhost Is Terrible

    By Andrea M

    Never use Dreamhost as they are a nightmare webpage hosting service. First, they say they have low prices. For a tiny free trial time they are affordable then they jack prices ultra high. Then they claim you can transfer your webpage url to another service, but they will never do the transfer. Your new service will say “transfer failed” as Dreamhost says “transfer complete” never doing the move. The URL disappeared, and so you can’t restart. Dreamhost is where webpages go to be killed forever. I now see why linktree is so popular, and I am switching there now until I get a new page URL. It is super fun to make up new pages anyway so I am glad for an excuse to never use the death-page. My review is if you are considering moving there I hope Google warns you with this post to stay far away from their page killing nightmare service. #DreamHost Kills Pages

  • Happy Midsummer Eve

    It is the summer solstice weekend this week. In addition to the June 19th celebration it is the summer solstice marking the middle of the light half of the year. Shakespeare’s famous play about the night helps to keep the holiday popular in modern life. Farming culture in the olden days took the changing of seasons seriously as bad luck could leave you starved.

  • Wave Goodbye

    Wave Goodbye to the good old WordPress URL of https://frozenhistory7publishing.wordpress.com/ as my main webpage of Fh7publishing.com is down due to the URL being the new WordPress home for FH7publishing. Now instead of the page having a link to my blog, my blog will just BE at the URL. The page is down due to a webhosting site migration. Godaddy was the service I was using, but I have used WordPress longer in comparison to Godaddy, and their prices and service have become really bad. In contrast, WordPress hosting and email has become better and cheaper. Goodbye many online mirror pages, and hello more streamlined posting and e-mailing from the great JetPack app on my phone.

    Sorry I have not been able to post anything online in a while. I have returned to taking classes at night school and the homework is epic.

  • Many Thanks

    By A. Menzies

    Many thanks to my friends and family that helped me pay my medical fees this week. I am feeling much better after getting medication for extreme body pain. I had to be hospitalized 8 times my first year when I was a baby for problems even when I was tiny. Due to a paper work glitch my insurance was cancelled right as several medications were due for refill. Other countries with less money than the United States have Universal Healthcare for all citizens as they don’t make people jump through hoops doing paperwork to stay alive. I think about that daily.

  • Never Use Amazon Pharmacy

    By Andrea M

    Never use Amazon Pharmacy they are complete garbage with medicine and insurance. They claim they send prescriptions in the mail with no line waiting. They will not give you your doctor prescriptions, and the one customer service number they have has complete jerks working there that will scream at you. If there is a problem with your insurance they have no cash payment options. They lose your prescriptions in the mail and say you have taken too much of the medicine you did not get. If you have a problem at Walgreens or CVS you can complain to a manager, Google, and Yelp. Amazon pharmacy has disabled these complaint options, and has no local branches to review so they can do oceans of bad service unnoticed. Here is the one place I can warn people Amazon Pharmacy is garbage. #amazon-pharmacy-is-garbage

    *Note the Tuesday review podcast is late by a day due to computer crash and reboot.

    It was tax refund time, and my old computer crashed. I sprang for an HP Victus laptop. I have gone back to a master’s degree night school program, and have hundreds of reports to write. The same processors that can play games well can also write, type, and print better as I need that badly for grades. Grades get money, scholarships, and jobs eventually. Part of my brain says “no don’t spend money,” but another part says “if you buy cheap you get cheap, and buy twice.” I will write the full review later as I just finished unboxing the thing and it is charging.
