I'm Rich! almost

Since Spaces changed format a few months ago, my email spam has changed. I'm getting a lot of weirdo email, and I never have before. Well, except for...you know who you are...lol. I'm quite the International "Who's Who", I'm getting emails from all over the world. Evidently, Nigeria is the place to be right now, lots of money floating around, I can't wait until my loot gets here.

I didn't even know I had relatives in Lome, Togo. I thought that was in the South Pacific, but no, believe it or not, it's next to my relatives in Ghana and Nigeria. There's a little country called Benin in between, so far I haven't heard from anyone there. Anyway, evidently I come from quite wealthy family, and I'll be receiving millions of US dollars very soon. I'm so excited! I've already gone shopping and written checks on a few items.

Here are a couple of excerpts from today's emails:

I am Barrister George Godwin, a legal practitioner, I am the personal attorney to Mr.J.Jannaj, a national Of your country, who used to work with Shell Development Company in Lome Togo. He used to be my client.

 

I have a profiling amount in an excess of US$19MILLION, which I seek you to accommodate for me. You will be rewarded with 30% of the total sum for your partnership. We deal on Gold,  HMS 1 & 2, COCO, RS 50/60.

The funds  have  since left to a  private financial  institution where the where the fund was deposited.While I was on the process, my boss recently got arrested on January 19th,2009  for his involvement in politics by financing the leading and opposing political parties in our country Ghana.

All I need from you is to stand as the beneficiary of the above mentioned sum and  I will  re-profile the funds with your data, which will enable the financial company release the money.This transaction has to be concluded as soon and as I confirm your readiness to proceed with me,I will provide you with details.

I hate this stuff showing up, and this is just scam spam. The weird stuff makes me want to cancel my account. Ewwww.

Comments not showing up

Now comments are not showing up on my posts. I can see comments on my 'profile' page, and my windows live home page, but they're not at the end of my blogs. Anybody know why? I checked my privacy settings. Anyone having any trouble leaving comments?

HOPE THIS HELPS

Here's a link to some info on privacy:   http://windowslivewire.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!2F7EB29B42641D59!27927.entry

 

The way I did mine, was going to the option menu on the upper right side of my home page-not my Space page, but the Windows Live home page.  Choose 'more options'. Choose 'notifications'. Choose 'what's new with you'.

 

There are MORE privacy options than before, which is good because they have INVADED more of our privacy than before. But at least there is a way to stop all this info....last names, every comment we make...etc....from being visible. I set mine to allow what it showed before...updated blogs, lists, site....but not comments. My biggest beef is that most of us didn't know our stuff was going to be plastered on our home pages before they did it. We should have had more-or some- warning so we could set our own privacy levels.  jan

 

DON'T LEAVE!

I'm glad to see things have kinda sorta calmed down in Spaceland. So far, I haven't lost anything on my site, I don't know why some have and some not. What I do know, is that I like Spaces. I like it a lot. Before I started my site, I cruised all the others I could find. Nothing offered me this set of features. I wanted more than a blog, but MySpace gives me a headache, I'm on Facebook, but I have very few friends, Yahoo 360 didn't have many people around, GeoCities has those ads covering everything up, and a lot of the free web sites I found had SO many ads.

And, to be honest, there are so many out there that the average age is around 19, and I like to have friends that age, but not just that age. You know what I mean? Here, I immediately found people over 30, a lot even in their fifties and over like me, and most of all....real people. Your blogs are about real things in real life. I never feel like I have to be a certain way or do a certain thing, make x amount of money, only write about these particular subjects...etc. I'm pretty much a mess, but I'm often funny, and sometimes smart, and generally likeable...I think. And I get to be all those things and more and often much less. I don't know where I could find you - those I know and those I have yet to meet, don't know where I could safely? post family photos and write personal things. Not that safety is at all guaranteed here or anywhere else. But, hey, I live in a small town. If anyone who knows me stumbles upon this site, I'd guarantee they'd know it was me. lol.

I love the Spaces features. I love knowing what music's on your mind, and the endless number of lists we have, and the surveys we share, and your kids, jobs, hobbies, and of course - food and pets....our favs.

But, anyway, to those of you who are talking about leaving, please let me know where you're going, I'll come there to read your blog and see what you're up to! LOVE YOU ALL!    Jan
