the CONTINUING ADVENTURES

Alas,I must say so long to a Trusted friend,a friend who turned out not to be trusted especially with my money!I am speaking of one of my sponsors,the one so many of you have written to say you got invaluable info from,GOOGLE!
In their infinite wisdom,Google is claiming that "unauthorized" cliking was taking place,(somebody out there was trying to help a little to much).For this implied but unproven allegation,they have confiscated ALL OF MY EARNINGS!!
I request that any and ALL OF YOU who have ever clicked on a Google ad while at one of my sites,to PLEASE email: adsense-support@google.com quoting client number #32875,and let them know how you benefited from my ads,and that your use of them was voluntary and not an effort to artificially inflate my earnings.
GOOGLE IS CLAIMING THAT THEY ARE RETURNING MY EARNINGS TO THE ADVERTISERS! I WANT PROOF! it is my contention that Google makes a habit of enticing small little Bloggers like me to join AdSense,and then,as soon as they begin to make some real earnings,they pull the plug,and keep all the money for themselves.There are thousands like me,to small to fight,so grabbing a couple hundred bucks from each of us is just good business,as there are new bloggers everyday joining.
This is the only course of action that I can see making any difference.
I would gladly forfeit the money,it was the targeted ads that I miss,ads that where designed to help those with adictions or mental health problems,such as the one that helped this lady,as shown in this letter,which will be my last words on the subject,it is up to you dear reader,EMAIL GOOGLE TODAY!

Some call it serendipity. Some call it synchronicity. Some call it coincidence. I call it my guardian angel that bought me to the site of H. Douglas Forbes. My oldest son, age 24, has added joy, pain and a great many tears to our lives over the years. He could be a wonderful person, but he would go on bouts of violent and destructive behavior that seemed to come out of nowhere. As parents, we tried parenting classes, tough love (we had him arrested 3 times) and counseling. The psychologist told us he couldn’t help because my son refused to admit there was anything wrong. His violence was always followed by remorse. He would call himself useless and a loser. He would promise to change but the cycle would soon repeat itself. He would keep getting fired from jobs because he would fly off the handle at somebody and no one was prepared to put up with this kind of behavior.

Then I ran across Mr. Forbes’ site. I clicked a link to a rehab center because binge drinking was another of my son’s problems and in the index of that page a word caught my eye. The word was bi-polar. As I read that page it occurred to me that they may as well have my son’s name engraved into the site. We now have a word for my son’s problems. I showed the site to him and he has made a doctor’s appointment. For the first time in many years I feel hopeful. There is an honest chance for my son to have a normal life and I feel a tremendous amount of gratitude to Mr. Forbes. If he had not gone through the experiences that he writes about, and if he had not the courage to tell others about them, I would not have found an answer to our prayers.

Thank you Mr. Forbes…..you did good.

HERE ARE SOME MORE REVIEWS,AND THEN FINALLY SOME CONTENT!

Doug Forbes has lived a life that plays out like an episode of Law and Order. His writing, like his life, is exciting and vibrant, fraught with pain and drama. From beginning to end, it holds the reader’s attention. No stranger to the seamy underbelly of society he can tell you stories that will shock you. You will never find this man boring.

It's true I have lived a very varied life,from that as a very successful well off family man with a good job and a bright future,to that of a bum digging in garbage bins for food and if I found a refundable bottle,my day was off to a great start.
You will find this introduction at the beginning of each post,but every week or so,I will have a new tale to tell,all true(except for any confession of crimes,those of course are fiction!)
I owe the inspiration to this blog to Meg from the UK,a "penpal" I meet on line,here is some of what she said:
"hope you write back mr adventure man, you interest me"
" your autobiography could make a best seller,very interesting stuff, and said with a kind of humour too"
"Yes indeed, you have a great talent in writing, I love reading about people's lives"
"you should write a book, you have me transfixed. The way you write would keep readers glued to your words."
Here's some other comments made on previous works:

and finally my very best review of all,from my nineteen old daughter,who I had deserted over SIXTEEN years before:
"I would love to hear someday hear about all the in between then and now stuff.Anything you are comfortable telling me,I'm all ears.I am really proud of you Dad,and I'm happy that I get the chance to have you in my life."
Love your little girl Susan.
