No long time see you since I last wrote an article, on fourth (4th) of this month November! But I am back to write another article, snippets article once again and I have a couple of topics that I would like to share my thoughts on. Before I go ahead with this article, I must ask how all of you are and how was your Thanksgiving yesterday?! Did you have a great feast?! Thanksgiving holiday always give us people a good excuse to stuff our stomach with a lot of foods because usually on Thanksgiving we get to have all kinds of foods that we only see once a year especially in numbers of foods that is being served and a great excuse for some people to take a power nap because turkey always makes us sleepy after stuffing our faces with it. Thanksgiving is not only an excuse for a feast but also a good excuse for family and friend’s gatherings especially in numbers as well – we had over 14 people under our roof yesterday for Thanksgiving which broke the record of how many people we had for Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, they weren’t mine and my mother’s family as they were Chad’s family; Chad is my mother’s boyfriend for close to twenty years. Mine and my mother’s family are no longer here with us as they have passed away so only family that carried on is both of us which is great because we still have each other so that is what I am very thankful for.
We had oven turkey, deep-fried turkey, mashed potatoes, hams, rolls, corn, sweet potatoes casseroles, sweet potatoes pie, banana puddings, macaroni salad, devil eggs, green beans and few more other foods for us to pick so it was a lot of foods for Thanksgiving yesterday. I only choose turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing (we call it dressing), corn, sweet potatoes casseroles and a couple of rolls with gravy on a couple of these foods (potatoes and stuffing). Everybody ate at unbelievably early while I eat later in the day, they ate at 3:15 which was a couple of hours after I woke up and I think that the dinner usually should be served at around 7-8pm but that is me.

Repealing Net Neutrality Isn’t Good Thing!
I see that a lot of people doesn’t realize the importance of net neutrality, short for internet neutrality so the words should be self-explained, but it is what making internet fair and equal for consumers which enforce the internet providers such as Verizon, Comcast, Time Warner and others to provide equal internet access without either blocking some certain contents that they don’t like but would unblock them for a price. Without net neutrality in place by Federal Communications Commission, we would be seeing internet providers in United States follows what internet providers in Russia do and that’s to sell a packaged internet. With net neutrality in place, it requires internet providers to provide us internet for all regardless any contents such as Facebook, Twitter, our own blogs, YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon and many more instead of only providing us access to a search engine but if we want internet access for our social media then we must pay for that option. Same goes for paying for the option to have access to our own blog, Netflix, Hulu and others separately. Repealing Net Neutrality would also allow internet providers to censor what we can say, what we can see and what we need. I am going to show you an example of what packages looks like if net neutrality to be repealed below and from there you should understand better why it is very important that we don’t have net neutrality repealed. So, if Federal Communications Commission repeals Net Neutrality then they controls our access on the internet is the bottom line here and the internet providers hoping that it would be repealed because so that they would have every excuses to increase prices due to more options that we would have to choose so that we could have at least half of access to the internet and tech giants (such as Google, Apple, Android, Wikipedia etc.) opposes Net Neutrality repeal because it would means that they would limits consumers freedom over internet.
If you want to get better understanding of what net neutrality is all about, I highly recommend you read Net Neutrality on Wikipedia and it has all information that you need to know about Net Neutrality. By repealing Net Neutrality means ending Net Neutrality.
And here’s some of useful information on Net Neutrality and as well about repealing Net Neutrality –
I’m on the FCC. Please stop us from killing net neutrality by Jessica Rosenworcel at Los Angeles Times
Americans are spending Thanksgiving fighting for net neutrality by Sean O’Kane at The Verge
FCC plan would give Internet Providers power to choose the sites customers can see and use by Brian Fung at Washington Post
BattleForTheNet.com
Net Neutrality on Twitter
So, we must call our senators, representatives and as well commissioners over at Federal Communications Commission to let them know that we oppose the repeal. Even one of commissioners over at Federal Communications Commission asks for our help to convince the rest of others to not vote to repeal Net Neutrality! We best do everything we can to convince everyone to not repeal Net Neutrality today, because Federal Communications Commission chairman Ajit Pai is calling Net Neutrality repeal on the day of black Friday in hope that they would sneak behind our back and pass the votes to repeal net neutrality because the chairman hopes that we focus too much on Black Friday to where we forgot or didn’t realize that they are calling for Net Neutrality Repeal vote today. Shame!
Edit (11/28/2017) – The deadline for us to call our congresses, representatives and the people over at Federal Communications Commission to tell them to not repeal Net Neutrality is December 14, 2017 so we better get the ball going by pressuring them to NOT repeal Net Neutrality otherwise the internet providers would take too much of power. By taking power would mean that they would have the ability without any law (hence Net Neutrality) to control how we use the internet which I provide a couple of pictures above so to give you an idea of what the internet providers would have the power to do to us. Here’s a link to my Facebook post so you can get more information about who to contact and whatnot – Click here.
This is serious, this isn’t about political parties and whatnot – it truly is about our freedom over the internet!
Mar-a-Lago Is NOT the Winter White House!
United States President Donald Trump claimed that his private club residences Mar-a-Lago is the Winter White House, most Americans got it right that there is no winter white house and that Mar-a-Lago is a private property of Donald Trump who just happened to be the President of the United States but that does not mean that it’s the Winter White House because it is not owned by the government. There are only three well-known properties owned by the government for the President is the White House in Washington D.C., Camp David and Blair House aka President’s Guest House in Washington D.C. I think that the reason Donald Trump is calling Mar-a-Lago the “Winter White House” is because of a marketing reason, to try to bring in more members for the Mar-a-Lago and to be a member it costs $200,000 each. So, now that you know that there is no winter white house and that there is only one white house in existence which is located on 1700 Pennsylvania Ave. As for summer or winter if a President of United States wish to spend private time with the family, it’s either at Camp David or the White House itself and the President can choose to stay at Blair House, but presidents rarely do as Blair House are often used for an upcoming new President before moving to the White House after January 20th every four years.
Southside Cinemas and Riverfill 10 Cinemas, I Am Calling You Out Again
After several e-mails, letters and complaints I have sent regarding closed captions for the cinema over in South Williamson, Ky you still haven’t made at least an effort to do something for ten thousand Deaf people in Pike County! I have asked, asked and asked multiple times for the Southside cinemas to provide closed captions for the movies for more than two years but I haven’t still see any effort made by the people over at Southside Cinemas. How can you dismiss a such large potential numbers of customers, such as large as over ten thousand Deaf people asking for closed captions for the movies such as closed captions glasses (Sony Entertainment Access Glasses)? I have also written a couple of articles about this issue, the Deaf people in Pike County of Kentucky are begging for equal access to the entertainment in Pike County of Kentucky and you dismissed their simple request? Don’t you realize that you are violating Americans with Disabilities Act under Title III and even Americans with Disabilities Act under government agency in 2016 made it clear that the theaters are required to provide closed captions. Here’s the link made by government – https://www.ada.gov/regs2016/movie_captioning_rule_page.html
So, again Southside Cinemas and Riverfill 10 Cinemas – I ask you to follow what government require of you to do so for the Deaf people please.

… The End
That is all for the time being, I haven’t been to bed yet (as usual) and there are a few of things that I need to do before I head to bed so I better get to it otherwise I wouldn’t be able to complete the tasks that I need to do before I call it a day. Thank you so much for all of your time reading this article, please remember that if you have some topics that you would like to get an opinion from me you are more than welcome to suggest some topics by going to the submit page which can be found at top of the website and the more topics the more merrier so that I can have more topics to talk about next time! I am sure that I will be writing another article before Christmas, I hope unless something happens to me but let’s hope that it doesn’t and please be safe as the winter is on the way especially with the snows unless this winter is like last winter where we hardly see any snow, but I am hoping that we will see some snows because we need them so to prevent any droughts. Until next time, happy belated Thanksgiving and be sure to leave some comments below!
