MIA?

noreply@blogger.com (Jyn) — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 15:19:00 +0000

Sorry Ive been missing- I sort of went crazy with the blogs and created like... 4 more.
Why? ... who knows, maybe for the extreme

POWER!!

Yeah, the Wordpress templates widgets all of it is very powerful.. and fun. But I have neglected to write here.
I had Emmalia Aug 6th. You can read about it here.

As Time Flies....

noreply@blogger.com (Jyn) — Fri, 08 May 2009 22:56:00 +0000

SO! I hit the big 26 weeks today. I'm due August 14th, so... in 2 more weeks it's my third trimester.
We found out we're having a girl and we're having fun trying to figure out names!
I've decided to deliver at OHSU this time because they offer waterbirths. It's a big step given the fact I've been with my midwife here for almost every pregnancy in Oregon. She delivered Daniel and saw me throughout my pregnancy with Jacob and then for my pregnancy relating in miscarriage in 2007- and through this one.
The thing is- there is no guarentee that I will be able to have her through my birth. The midwives do rotations, so... if there is a big chance I wont get to see her, I might as well opt to try and have the natural water birth. My midwives that I've been seeing only devlier at Providence ST. Vincent.. and they wont allow waterbirths.

Also, I've finally tranfered Abigail to Shriners Portland again. It took a while but Abbie has been struggling with a JRA flareup. Shriner's hospital is across from OHSU, so I scheduled my midwivery apt and pregnancy diabetes glucose test for the same day as Abigail's appointment.

It's crazy how quickly things are going now. I savor every day- I jsut dont want to rush through this pregnancy.

Week 8: What? 8 weeks of WHAT?

noreply@blogger.com (Jyn) — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 03:25:00 +0000

Well, since you had to ask, I am 8 weeks into my sixth pregnancy. *smile*

Yup! We are having another baby!
I'm pretty bummed that we lost most of my blog from Danny's pregnancy earlier in the blog here, from 2002, but such is life right?
His pregnancy certainly was eventful.
I figure I should just make a pregnancy blog instead of cluttering up my generic blog with lots of baby weeks and bloated gas pains and discharge or who knows what, and maybe I will.
So far I'm having rather heightened morning sickness (which doesn't just occur in the morning mind you) and food adversions this time, almost as bad as it was with Abigail. Also given the fact that your breasts get tender, so when I get up in the middle of the night I have to hold myself up with my hands. Sleeping in a brasier isn't my idea of fun, but it may be something I have to do.

The good news was that we saw a little heartbeat in my ultrasound, so I'm not expecting to birth this little one any time soon! Everyone is hoping for a boy to even out the boy/girl ratio to 3/3.

Writing this in FLock...

Bah- what a day

noreply@blogger.com (Jyn) — Sat, 01 Nov 2008 02:47:00 +0000

It's just been an emotional and trying day today. Did I ever tell you how much I love Halloween? I do, I love it a lot not because of any of the scary stuff- but for the fun of dressing up! My kitty litter cake was a hit at my hubby's work (again!) so I have that. I'm glad they loved it- and if you work with him, thank you guys for loving it!

Otherwise, did you know that Safari isn't letting me log into blogger? Nope, keeps redirecting me.

I <3 Firefox.

My talk with MobileMe Support

noreply@blogger.com (Jyn) — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 21:06:00 +0000

So, as a Macintosh user, I have recently had to face the facts that certain things have to change... whether I like it or not.

I chat on iChat with my old .mac nickname that wasn't active as a working account. Now that .mac has been phased out and transformed into .me , I am finding it impossible to administrate my options for my old nickname that I use regularly to chat with because the fact it wasn't active when it was migrated meant they deleted the account overall. All I want to do is change my password, but alas- it's.... impossible! Yep, that is what I said- you cannot change your old .mac password. It doesn't exist any longer other than in the AIM chat world. It's un-administratable.

If you know of an answer, by all means let me know. Here is my chat with the tech support of apple.com .

P.S.- Don't let them tell you that you can change it via the iforgot.apple.com web URL, because it doesn't work either. It will say you changed it, but changes will not take.

*
* You are chatting with Joe T, a MobileMe Support Representative

Hi, my name is Joe T. Welcome to Apple!
*
Jyn Meyer: Hi Joe, happy halloween :)
*
Joe T: And Happy Halloween to you as well, Jyn! How are you doing?
*
Jyn Meyer: I just talked with a representative about my issue
*
Jyn Meyer: and it wasnt resolved

Jyn Meyer: I need to change my password connected with my .mac nick that I use for ichat, and she sent me to iforgot.apple.com
*
Joe T: I do apologize for any inconvenience this has caused you, Jyn. I see that you were trying to get your password reset on your MobileMe account, is that correct?
*
Jyn Meyer: I have successfully changed it that way, but it isn't applying
*
Jyn Meyer: no , not on my mobileme
*
Jyn Meyer: on my .mac
*
Jyn Meyer: I have two nicknames. I have xxxxxx@mac.com that I use for chatting, and then I have xxxxxx@me.com for my .me- I need to change the password associated with my .mac account NOT my .me.
*
Joe T: Ok, .Mac was actually transitioned into MobileMe back in July. As your account was active during that period, you were allowed to keep the @mac.com email address, although you now also have an @me.com address as well. Both will empty into the same mailbox, though, as they are the same account.
*
Jyn Meyer: Ok, so how come they have separate passwords then? are you saying I cannot change my .mac password ever now?
*
Jyn Meyer: because they are still being allowed for use in chat...
*
Joe T: If you used the @mac.com email address for your iChat login, the iChat login is actually completely separate from .Mac or MobileMe. You can use the email address for that login, but beyond that the password created in iChat is separate from your account password.
*
Jyn Meyer: I dont use mail, or anything for my .mac other than my ichat.... and I need to change my ichat password for the nickI use regularly (xxxxxx@mac.com)
*
Jyn Meyer: so...how do I change it then?
*
Joe T: I'll be right with you.
*
Jyn Meyer: thank you :)
*
Jyn Meyer: I appreciate your help
*
Joe T: Ok, I show the account xxxxxx@mac.com is no longer an active MobileMe account. Just to let you know, those @mac.com email addresses that were used for iChat logins were allowed to retain the ability to use them or iChat, but all other functions of the .Mac account were ended when the account became inactive for an extended period. Let me see if there is a way to be able to change the password for your iChat login, though.
*
Jyn Meyer: that would be great
*
Jyn Meyer: Eitherwya I just need to know- ok we can change it or, sorry you are out of luck... you would think though, that they woudl want to keep you secure fi they were going to let us sontinue using that old email addy
*
Jyn Meyer: im a bit dislexic today, sorry, heh
*
Joe T: Quite alright. Let me check a bit more on this for you, Jyn.
*
Jyn Meyer: Thank you :) I'm patient
*
Joe T: I'm sorry for the delay. I'll be right with you.
*
Jyn Meyer: its ok
*
Jyn Meyer: I have five kids- Im always busy :D
*
Joe T: Thank you for waiting. I'll be with you in just a moment.
*
Joe T: I'll be right with you.
*
Joe T: I'm sorry for the delay. I'll be right with you.
*
Joe T: Thank you for waiting, Jyn. Ok, from what I have been able to find, it does not appear that there is currently any way to change the password for your iChat login xxxx@mac.com. Basically, what occurred is that your .Mac account with that address became inactive sometime before the transition to MobileMe and was deprovisioned. When the transition occurred, any .Mac accounts that were in a deprovisioned status became recycled and available again for creation as a MobileMe account, although without the @mac.com (all new accounts created after the transition have only @me.com). The @mac.com addresses were allowed to continue being used as iChat accounts, though.
*
Joe T: Unfortunately, the iChat login version of your address used the same password as the @mac.com account. As the account no longer exists, though, we have no way to be able to change that password.
*
Jyn Meyer: I have a buddy who is tech for macintosh and he says he is able to administrate his via his .me account
*
Jyn Meyer: he has both, but has a fmaily pack
*
Jyn Meyer: family even
*
Joe T: Correct, if his account remained active, he would still be able to change the password through MobileMe. Your jxxxxxx@mac.com currently only exists as a iChat login, though, and is no longer a MobileMe account because it was inactive and became recycled during the transition. As the account no longer exists with MobileMe, there is no way to edit or change the password.
*
Jyn Meyer: ok
*
Jyn Meyer: this is bad though, you know that lol
*
Jyn Meyer: because now there is a completely unadministratable nickname in the world
*
Jyn Meyer: Im sure im not the only one
*
Joe T: Newly created MobileMe accounts, such as the xxxxxx@me.com, can also be used as iChat logins as long as the MobileMe account remains active. However, unlike the @mac.com addresses, when the account becomes inactive the @me.com address can no longer be used to login to iChat until the account is reactivated.
*
Jyn Meyer: right
*
Jyn Meyer: So in order to create an ichat nickname that I can administrate - what do I need to do?
*
Joe T: Currently you can use your trial MobileMe account, xxxxx@me.com, to login to iChat. Again, though, this will only be usable while the account remains active. You can change the password on this account to one of your choosing at any time by going to www.me.com/account. You will need to enter the current password, after which you can change it through Password Settings on the left.
*
Jyn Meyer: Right, but say i dont want to continue the trial- what would I need to do to have an administratable ichat nickname?
* Joe T: Let me check and see if there may be a way to use it outside of utilizing MobileMe. One moment, please.
*
Jyn Meyer: thank you

Joe T: I'll be right with you.
*
Joe T: Thank you for waiting. I'll be with you in just a moment.
*
Joe T: I'm sorry for the delay. I'll be right with you.
Joe T: Ok, essentially, when you use your .Mac or MobileMe email address for iChat, it actually creates an AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) username as well which becomes linked with your .Mac or MobileMe account. When you are accessing iChat, it is actually doing so with the linked AIM account, though this is all handled by iChat. While your .Mac account no longer exists, if you are still able to use xxxxx@mac.com in iChat it may be possible that the AIM account it was linked to is still active. If you can gain access to that AIM account, you may be able to change the password from that end. Unfortunately, AIM is something that is outside of our ability to provide support or direction with.
*
Jyn Meyer: right- and they wash their hands of macintosh as well...
*
Jyn Meyer: since they just allow, basicly, apple users to use their software with their nicks
*
Jyn Meyer: sort of like yahoo does with sbcglobal, etc
*
Jyn Meyer: and they dont adm inistrate those names that are not affiliated with their company- just like I cant change my account info with a shared branch banking company- I would need to go to my actual bank to do that.
*
Jyn Meyer: so, my nickname is in limbo
*
Jyn Meyer: lol

Yay! I cleaned my kitchen today. After dropping my husband off at work, the sunshine felt so good- I turned on a good African music CD and washed my floor by hand. I also wiped down my table which had milk splotches all over it from kid use. It's such a beautiful day today!
So spirits are up, the weather is nice and windy with sunshine- great time to clean the house out! My younger three and I are going to go pumpkin hunting in a few hours, so life is good.

Montauk Monster-What I Think it IS

noreply@blogger.com (Jyn) — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 03:46:00 +0000

Ok, so- I watched the video footage (still trying to figure out which website I watched it at) and saw the pictures and people picking up the said decomposed carcass that was left.

What is it?

Well, today after visiting my local zoo with my kids, I saw a great skull of an otter at the otter exhibit. The Montauk Monster LOOKS a LOT like ... a decomposing otter.
Without the hair and with perhaps part of the snout missing, I really think that could be an otter.

Below is why I think it is an otter:

Here is an illustration of an otter skull. You can see a partly decomposed nose tip can easily look like a beak from the direction of the image.

So there you have it. I think they need to just bag those bones and remains, and identify the DNA of the thing to stop all the stupid speculation.

Just when you thought you knew it all..

noreply@blogger.com (Jyn) — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 16:27:00 +0000

Just when you thought you knew it all, something changes and nothing looks the same again.

I've been going through a tremendous amount of turmoil lately over certain decisions I made a long time ago I thought was the right thing.

Can I say one thing? If nothing else I have ever said is ever taken to heart, know this... if you enter into a long term relationship expecting that ANYTHING will ever change, you are wrong.

Yes, relationships change people. Couples grow and meld in both the good and the bad. Situations can make and break people. But even though it's possible that the akwardness of getting to know someone may eventually fade... you need to know that there is the probability that the person you are with will NOT change their founding character just because you made a choice to be with them.

Period.

Just giving in and choosing to do your best to be the best for them MAY make them love you, doing whatever it takes changing whatever it takes.....YES!But you have to accept that you will ALWAYS have to be that way.

Keep 'em how you 'catch them.

I changed a huge part of who I was to make my husband respect me and love me. I sacrificed a bit part of my personality, even goals and dreams to support his thinking that he would naturally want to bless me that way also.

What ended up happening, was I fell through the cracks. If you put yourself aside enough times, people forget you have needs that are vital. Your needs become expendable, but they never were so important enough before that they took presedence.

Yes, my husband fell in love with me. He fell in love with my accomodations, with my understanding through pain and suffering, through hardship after hardship- he fell in love with how comfortable I made him, how safe and indestructable I allowed him to be.
He fell in love with my low maintenence and my optimism.

That is because I had to do those things to catch him. I had to set aside things that filled my cup. I had to resolve to having things a certain way and I built up a wall towards a lot of dreams. I was EXTREMELY scared to make any plans for my life... to dream about what I would love... because none of it lined up with his, and ultimately everything was formed into what he wanted or needed.

I realized how unhappy I was years ago. I felt like I was a child at home dreaming of one day when I could grow up and have a life... but I am already grown!
I saw other couples socializing and doing things I wanted to do. Vacations, School functions, daily family routines... things that both people took control in doing, it wasnt one person making it all happen.

Sometimes I wonder where my family life ends and mine begins... I'm happy to sacrifice myself for my kids. But I do not feel that staying in a marriage where I am unhappy and unfulfilled will be the best for my kids. I believe that my kids deserve to see their mom at her best, in love and life, and the same for their father.

I can't, "Oh well." my way through life in my marriage.
Stepping outside of myself, I see this... whole world! There is a world out there!!

People do things, go places, interact with other people outside their families! They have people over, they have goals and work towards those goals. They may not be perfect , but who is?

I've had a motto for a long time, it is:
"The grass is always green on the side you water it."

My husband's lawn has been watered daily since he met me. But my lawn is very very dry and dead.

It's time to go.

How to Hack your Coffee

noreply@blogger.com (Jyn) — Thu, 08 May 2008 16:59:00 +0000

So ... oh and yes, I said 'hack'... it really feels that way today.

I need coffee.
This has been one of those mornings where you wake up, sit up on the edge of your bed, pick up your bottom eyelids and lips from the carpet and as you throw them over your shoulder think about how you are OUT of coffee.

Some Java Words of wisdom

noreply@blogger.com (Jyn) — Mon, 05 May 2008 19:32:00 +0000

It may not be a good idea to set your coffee creamer next to your bottle of Olive oil while preparing your cup of coffee.

I wont go into the exact details but at this point, I wouldn't think I would have to.
*blink blink*

(more words of wisdom)

However... if you DO happen to set your coffee creamer next to your bottle of olive oil, a good way to remove olive oil from a cup-o-joe is via cold temperature, i.e; the freezer.

*ahem*

That will be all.

Video-MAMA!

noreply@blogger.com (Jyn) — Mon, 05 May 2008 06:36:00 +0000

I've been vlogging like a madwoman. There is SO MUCH I was to put on there, so much more about me that I just cant talk about publicly. It's hard... because I know there are others who know what I'm going through.

I'm working on a music video for one of my favorite songs. I just need to gathermore footage.

I just pray that I stay on track... and keep looking forward to my future, and hang in there to complete all these things I've started.
-Jyn

It's about that time again...

noreply@blogger.com (Jyn) — Mon, 05 May 2008 06:15:00 +0000

So... here it comes... It's May now.
I have to scroll back in time and see how much I actually posted earlier, but- May 22nd is a BAD DAY for Jyn. (and it makes her talk in third person)

Not only is it the day of her first miscarriage back in 2001... but it is also the day of her SECOND miscarriage... in 2007!!!!

Yes... I started miscarrying last year on the exact day of my first miscarriage. I think it made it worse for me.

SO.... yeah. *sigh*
I've been perusing YouTube's Baby belly movement videos over the past few days. I'm just one for a beating I guess. I really really miss being pregnant.

Hey- I'm tough stuff!

noreply@blogger.com (Jyn) — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 01:26:00 +0000

I love my Mac. I hardly reach for a mirror anymore, and if what I need to see is out of mirror-range, I just grab my Mac! Life is better when you have a way to make silly faces at yourself. As for me, right now I am debating what it is my house needs to be a healthier environment for Jyn's moral. I'm pretty ready to start my spring purge and start planning on replacing things I have just been getting by with. I would also love, love, love to have a place for EVERYTHING.

"What's that? Tweezers? Why yes...yes I have tweezers... they're right here."

At the moment I have about 20 misc bins which are huge rubbermaid bins with misc items in them. DVD's, papers, books, toys, maybe an earing or two, a shower curtain ring, who knows? So in the meantime I am going to sit here make faces at myself and try to think up my dream organizational unit...

Be still my beating heart...

noreply@blogger.com (Jyn) — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 01:20:00 +0000

I need to get my heart checked out.

I was diagnosed with PVC's when I was a young adult, but they seem much more prevelant and disruptive. It really is quite frustrating feeling your heart pause and build with adrenaline rushes following.

I'll post what I find when I do go in.
-Jyn

I guess it's been a while..

noreply@blogger.com (Jyn) — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 17:44:00 +0000

I have been too busy being.. too busy to write.
Bad, BAD Jyn.

I think really, what did it, was the fact that I have lost some really great blogs from the past on here. I'm not sure how it happened, but it was most probably my fault in moving the blog to a new layout.

Either way, I figure I should start again.

noreply@blogger.com (Jyn) — Fri, 03 Aug 2007 17:55:00 +0000

When I go out to eat, it is about 95% of the time with my kids- sometimes by myself if my husband is working. So, the topics I rate servers and restaurants on tend to be family oriented.

I dont' have pet peeves per-sey, but the things that I do hope for in my perfect server and dining facility include:

automatically brings a stack of napkins and a few extra plates with our meal
asks if we want the A-1 sauce, ketchup and mustard (we don't usually need these things and they tend to clutter our space)
brings crackers or equivalent right away for my youngest ones while we are trying to order.
are prepared with reading material/drawings and crayons that consist of more than 3 utensils in more than 1 cup if at all possible. My children are 8, 7, 5, almost 4 and 18 mos old, so they all like a few crayons that are similar and their own.
does NOT put knives for cutting meat and hot food in front of my children or pour my coffee near or around my children's heads. The last thing I need are bloody and burned children.
brings children-savvy cups and not wine glasses for water, or if they don't have anything suitable for kids to drink out of, maybe a few Pool towels to dry off with afterwrds

My main concern as a mother of many out in a pubic eating facility is that my kids don't interrupt or invade other people's personal space or enjoyment. We can have fun ourselves and enjoy our food without being obnoxious and leaving people with a bad taste in their mouth.

I feel that I remind my kids to use quiet voices and using their manners and so I feel that the restaurants could also promote that sort of behavior by accommodating the not-so-patient clients in their facility. :-)

A horrible exchange with Sanyo Tech Support

noreply@blogger.com (Jyn) — Tue, 27 Mar 2007 16:51:00 +0000

So, I have a no-longer-produced flatscreen Sanyo TV and the remote for the thing has long died and been burried. I decided to try to use it with a DVD player yesterday after rearranging my livingroom. The TV is above my fireplace, and so far it's been an interesting peice of art rather than a working viewing device.

After going to program new channels into the thing, I realize that all my program channel options are red and I cannot access those features. So, I look up the FAQ's on their website, and after going through multiple sales directs to their do-it-all remotes, I contact tech support via email, and here is our email exchange.

ME: "I have searched through your FAQ's ( my TV model is a Sanyo
Flatscreen DS279300) and so far I haven't found the answer to my
question.

The controller for our TV no longer works, and I would like to be
able to set the channels via the TV Menu controls only- how do I
reset the channels via the TV without the remote?

Thanks! -Jyn"
TECH GUY:" You can call 1-800-877-5032 and order a remote for the tv."
ME: "I'm sure, but you still didn't answer my question. Can I fix my channels without your specified controller? I have a universal controller that already works fine with the TV and all my other equipment... I dont want to buy another controller. Thank you.
-Jyn
www.jynmeyer.com"
Tech guy: "You can try to use the buttons on the front of the tv. "
ME:"Obviousely, but the channels options, etc are all red and it skips those options when I scroll through the menu items.
-Jyn
www.jynmeyer.com"
Tech Guy: "If you are in a video mode it will not allow you to get into certain topics in the menu screen."

Me: "Sooo. would you say that my BEST form of action is to change the channel and try the menu options from there?
-Jyn
www.jynmeyer.com"

It's like- DUDE tell me what the heck I have to do... I dont need someone to point out little minute bits of information. Tell me, "Make sure you are not in video mode, and then use the menu option. If this does not workon your POS TV, then you might have to get our specialized $1000 do it all microwave/tonailclipper/vaccum cleaner/carwash remote controller..."

Even then, my TV has only 1 channel right now which is'video1', and not only do I have no other channels available to switch to so that I can change the channel and reset the menu options.

The next response from this guy will probably be that I have no other options other than to buy their specialized remote.

43 Things, People & Places: Up and Coming

noreply@blogger.com (Jyn) — Fri, 28 Jul 2006 22:02:00 +0000

43 People is a really neat website I have been addicted to lately. It connects with 43 places and 43 things where everyone chooses what they would like to do or have already done, who else have done or wants to do those things, and whether or not you recomend doing them. It also gives you options to help others wanting to do them and allowes you to upload pictures representing those things.

I love it, I hope to see this site grow.

Good Morning, Turtle.

noreply@blogger.com (Jyn) — Mon, 05 Jun 2006 13:24:00 +0000

When I am done for the night on my chat messengers, I always leave the away message, "Went to bed- leave me a dream".

A buddy left me a dream in a message last night in a chat window, it really made my day this morning, too!:

ok dream is....

your walking through a really dense fog, cant see your hand of your out stretched hand when you happen upon a mirror that seems broken, when you reach out to touch it, it disappears.
When you retract your hand it reappears but as a different shape and a different color of frame. When the frame is a read hexagon you touch it this time and feel a sharp pain that runs through your arm and explodes in to your head
red hex..*
When you retrieve your senses you see a reflection of a pond with but one frog on the shore being chased by a big black snake that seems cant climb on shore to catch its pray. until the frog hops in to the lake as if it is just tired of running and gives up.

During the struggle the frog and snake are tangled up in a fisherman's net that came up from the bottom of the lake and then are both dragged under, when you peer into the water you see thousands upon thousands of leach's writhing just beneath the surface, feasting on the both the snake and the frog.

You then look down the shore and you see a red canoe, you climb in and there is but one hexagon shaped oar you climb in and start to paddle across the lake to the other side when you get close it appears the wind is blowing through the trees as you get a better look its millions of hornets swarming their nests, they spot you leave their nests and give chase.

You paddle frantically trying to escape but in your fury you capsize the canoe and the leaches begin immediately to cover your body and dig in everything goes black, when you awaken you are on top of a mountain looking across a valley as the sun rises exposing the valley below.

There is a small dried up creek bed running thru the lush green foliage of the trees below. just then you hear the call of an eagle from far above with a salmon in his talons. He seems to look at you and drop the salmon at your feet. you then realize you are starved and prepare the fish to eat. As the fish is done cooking a turtle walks up and asks "Are you gonna eat that?"

Playing grown Up

noreply@blogger.com (Jyn) — Sun, 14 May 2006 22:38:00 +0000

It's been a beautiful day outside today, and so I decided to bring out the girl's child table and folding chairs to enjoy the weather on the back balcony.

They were hungry for lunch and asked to eat outside, so i brought them some beef & greenbean stew and set it on their table with some cups of berry punch.

OVERHEARD DIALOG:
ABBIE: "Why hello Gracie, you like my food? My parent gave it to me..."
Gracie: "Why yes, Abbie, you want some more restaurantesses food? It's very good..."

Yahoo!'s cold shoulder to Macintosh

Yahoo!'s cold shoulder to Mac on chat

As I chatted in my normal ichat chatroom with other fellow macintosh chatters recently, I came upon some new people I hadn't met before.

"Apparently Yahoo! Chat stopped using java so we cant chat anymore there and have moved here."
Other than meeting some cool new friends who didnt know AIM had other macintosh chat rooms without bots, ads, and the such, I realized just how much Yahoo! is missing out on. They are turning a cold shoulder to all the Macintosh market by catering only to PC platfrom users. It's obviouse just how MUCH Yahoo! is ignoring macintosh by their blatent void of help for the macintosh Messenger chatters who already have better options via ichat which uses AOL instant messenger. This is also a growing problem in their games and other areas and services.
We are now seeing a trend as more and more people turn to other forms to chat, games, and overall information other than yahoo!.

Yahoo! Chat has already turned off a majority of decent classy people with the over abundance of bots, troll spammers, and pornography ads. Some people have claimed to have over 20,000 members on their banned list just to be able to talk in the chatrooms.

Some now consider this a relief as they convert over to more tollerable forms of chatting, and the question lies here- will Yahoo! catch on in time or will the bad taste of Yahoo! leave Mac users booing?
