POWER TO MY HUBBY!

Have you ever had a burning desire for some justice in your life???? Been 'ripped off', lied to, given the run-around??? Well my friends, today, my hubby FINALLY took a stand against the corruption that lines the hides of our society!
Walking into the office of Fair Trading, hubby demanded his right to be heard, and was!
You see, the story goes like this....we once owned a mortgage, purchased shortly after the death of my dear mother. My father's grief led him to sell up, moving into this newly aquired house alongside myself, hub and two sons...oh, and my collie. My eldest had reached a point in his adolescence where he wanted 'space', so we located a flat not too far from us[being an epileptic was cause for concern]where we could keep an eye on him. He wasn't working at that time, so hub put his name to the lease just to secure the cheap dwelling, this meant us sharing the rent while paying off our own home. Long story short, after a terrible seizure which left my boy sporting two black eyes & a broken nose, it was time to come back home! Packed up furniture, carpets cleaned and the keys returned to the real estate, that was that. So we all thought? Fast forward three years- Our house, sold,Dad's returned to the central coast,and we'd joined the list of people 'renting' to survive. Nothing keeping us in the area, we decided to make steps back to where we originally lived, prior to the mortgage. Submitting a few unsuccessful applications, scratching our heads with dismay,hub decided to investigate.....lo & behold, someone's placed his name with TICA! But who?? And what's TICA?? TICA is a central register of tenants who have defaulted under their tenancy agreement or a history of where they have rented.But he hadn't defaulted??? Months of anguish later, hubby arrived back home today, feeling rather victorious! Knowing this was a clerical error on behalf of a real estate agency, my hubby went on a hunt for the person responsible, after all, this slight against his name was WRONG, and causing many problems for him.
Today, he took on the Lord Mayor and a few shocked-councillors, leaving them rather red-faced and gob-smacked!! After chatting with the RIGHT people, hub has regained control, the real estates stumbling for words, and justice likely to be served! Power to the people....especially when you dare to speak up!

V for VOICE!

V IS for victory and in the case of the Baby boomer Divas, it also represents the power of Voice!
After our recent brush with 'pornographic advertisements', it didn't take long for the mighty spirited women that make up Beverly Mahone's list of Divas to take action!
We quickly got our heads together and started Blogging our disappointment and disapporoval of the way a couple of filthy ads found their way next to our names in a recent Press release!
This blog post was to profile the wonderful efforts and inspiration of women over fourty, all making a huge difference to the country's they represent and that of the world!
The article had been published through Free-press, and the moment it went 'live', it sadly became attached to what i can only describe as 'gutter-trash'.....at first glance we assumed these ads were courtesy of Google's Adwords, but upon closer inspection and investigation from some of our more 'computer-savvy-sisters', it was found to have been connected to a site known as Etology.com- www.etology.com/buying-space-detail.php?id=12086&EID=53955
Like many others I had never heard of the network but am aware that when using keywords/meta-tags on websites/blogs they can be picked up by google via their crawling of sites and then place ads that resemble them in order to make some extra $$$$-
This is quite common as i have always had ads on various sites mentioning cancer organisations etc, because I include alot of Ovarian cancer topis/issues at my pages. I have NO problem with this, but I have a HUGE problem when such boundaries are breached!
See how Etology almost destroyed our good names and our work!

After reading the release, and the comments I ask you this..."How did Etology.com manage to associate such filth from something so decent?"
SHOCKED? AMAZED? Well folks, as part of this sophisticated group of women I would simply like to add my final warning....THIS SORT OF TRASH WILL NEVER BE TOLERATED AND IS JUST NOT ACCEPTABLE OR APPROPRIATE! Those responsible might want to tread more cautiously...never underestimate the power of women on the move!!!!

Congratulations to our Diva Queen, Beverly Mahone for allowing her sisters to unite to make a stand against the demoralising of women everywhere!
