    Avakin Graphics

    By Andrea Menzies

    I may start using Avakin or Highrise graphics for my profile picture. No Photoshop is needed there. The second you are over age 16 on the Internet people start saying your photos are aren’t updated, and so an ageless cartoon keeps your ID never needing weekly updates. My review of Avakin Life is that it is a fun cross platform summer game, and is now available free on Steam games. #Avakinlife friend code KCL-WPT Also my second review is Highrise is another great way to chat for free in games on Steam. Add me at @Poedaughterz for more friends in that game. Fun for kids and grown-ups of all ages.

  • 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.

    Sad News. Even the iconic people have dark times.

  • 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

  • Got Badge

    Got Badge

    By Andrea Menzies

    I got my new badge from my teaching job this week. I have been asked by people why I quit my teaching job to do podcasting. The answer is I have not quit teaching! I currently work as a teacher, podcaster, author, and am going to Grad school at night where I have made A grades. However, the economy is so bad, and the cost of living is so horrible I am still broke. This may be the point that is confusing so many people. #costoflivingbad

    New badge as I am still a teacher.
