I really wanted to check in with you all. I’m not in Europe; I cancelled the 30-day trip.
Part of the planning and preparation for my trip included selecting bloggers I thought were kind hearted and competent. However, selecting Allie of AllieIsWired.com was a major mistake.
On Mon, July 7, Allie didn’t put her first post on POTP up until after 3 p.m. I usually begin posting the night before my assigned date or around 7 a.m. Pacific.
I emailed her my phone number, telling her she could call me if she needs any help. Within five minutes after clicking ‘send,’ an unrecognizable number appeared on my cell. I picked up the phone only to hear a bitch who sounds like a toothless, barefooted, dirty, trailer trash, Midwestern woman on steroids, scratching out her dandruff while she picks her ass with her thumb. Allie’s voice is God AWFUL! Think Marge Simpson meets Macy Gray.
I rather gouge my eyes out with paper clips than be her friend, and I rushed her off the phone. I have no idea as to why she would call me when her lazy ass never attempted to do any real work on POTP before 9 p.m. anyway.
On her second blogging day, I emailed her asking if she could do a better job updating POTP. Considering Allie’s 43 years old, I thought she was mature enough to handle constructive criticism; she later expressed her resentment for agreeing to blog and said I shouldn’t have any suggestions since she was blogging for me for free.
WHY I CANCELLED MY EUROPE VACATION
I’m not in Europe because my dad, whom I’m very close to, had a major stroke and his brain was swelling and bleeding. He is a medical miracle. The doctors said everyone with that much brain swelling and bleeding is dead. The bleeding occurred for eight days straight and the swelling persisted. The doctors then said they have to do major brain surgery or my dad will go into acoma. He had major surgery, and he survived! And, just in case you’re wondering, he’s still in the hospital, where I’ve been from around 9 a.m. – 1 a.m. since Monday July 7th.
When I emailed Allie on Friday, July 11, I sent her a brief, angry email about how unreliable she is. In return, she sent an onslaught of insults, also calling me an asshole even after learning that my dad was currently in the hospital fighting for his life. Now that’s class! If I was in her position I would have said, ‘You’re a fucking bitch, but I hope your dad will be okay.’ But when you’re a senior citizen gossip blogger, bitter about not being paid money you don’t deserve, the well being of anyone other than yourself is irrelevant.
Allie also told me,
Shame on you for using your father’s illness as a weapon!”
… Because I told her about his serious condition. I would be offended by her statement, and I should be offended, but that would first require me to know what the fuck she means, and the delusional bitch has yet to make any sense. Maybe she doesn’t even know what her insult is supposed to imply? Poor thing lacks all direction and logic, and she told me I’m bi-polar.
Why would I, someone who loves my dad dearly, use my dad’s illness as a “weapon?” For what exactly?! I informed Allie of the circumstances that allowed me to witness her lack of updates. How self righteous of her to think I would exploit a life threatening tragedy to convey how much she sucks. If I was trying to exploit the situation I would have told her about it while she was blogging to attempt to guilt her into completing quality work.
I care about each and every one of you POTP readers so much. Witnessing Allie’s half assed efforts, especially when she only copied and pasted irrelevant shit from her site, was deeply upsetting. I apologize for posting this long rant, but there’s no way around it. In the words of another angry POTP visitor, “Allie is worthless.” That about sums it up.
Thank you all for being so amazing and continuing to visit this site while I’m away.
That’s so touching. My traffic remained the same. Thank you! I know POTP had tech problems yesterday, but I’ll finally be switching hosts next weekend which should help to eliminate the tech problems. I’ll also be doing some redesigning and I will get back to blogging as soon as I can. I’m also trying to get some Snarky goodness back on POTP soon, too.
Luv ya! Joy
And don’t be surprised if you see this post a few more times. The word needs to get out on just how vile Allie is.
I LOVE corny-ness. Sorry to just about every one of you, I’m sure you all did an eye roll or at least a head shake or a WTF face when you read my headline.
As you will learn shortly, the past few weeks have been tragic. I haven’t been getting crunk and laid like I had planned, at least not in Europe. Instead, I’ve been bawling, praying, and answering phone call after phone call from my very large family, while spending most of my time in the hospital.
In addition to worrying if my dad’s brain would stop bleeding and swelling, I had to worry about the horrible updates Allie of Allie is Wired was placing on POTP. She pretty much eliminated all relevant news and she would wait a good 10 hours to post more than two old copied and pasted posts from her site.
Spicy Pants
Spicy Pants (Celebrity Smack’s writer) went above and beyond helping me during such a difficult time. I didn’t go on vacation, but I’ve been with my dad and the doctors and I didn’t want to jeopardize my availability to my dad to cover celeb gossip. Spicy Pants of Celebrity Smack finally put my heart at ease when she took over blogging. She even posted random news stories, something I didn’t ask her to do! I can’t thank her enough.
I’m actually pretty speechless. She was entirely selfless. Spicy Pants is such an amazing person. It sounds cheesy, but I feel like I must meet her one day. I would love to meet someone so sweet and supportive. Thank you!!!!!! Your hubby be lucky. Rhymes, but it’s oh so true. And, shit, everyone who knows ya is lucky. You have a beautiful spirit.
Candy Kirby
Candy is just as sweet as she is funny. She sent me the most touching emails, making me feel so much better about what the future will bring and my dad’s progress. Blogging is a very cut-throat industry, you’d be surprised, and it’s the kindness of people like Candy and Spicy Pants that help to make it all worth it. I can’t tell you how much your support means to me, Candy.
I’ve had some absolutely ridiculous “friends” whose shady-ness has become blatant through this difficult time, and I’ve had other friends, online and off the net, who have really gone above and beyond. Thank you, Candy, for being so sweet. - Heh. Yes, that’s cheesy and that’s exactly why I had to go there.
Spicy Pants and Candy Kirby, you have helped me to feel better during one of the most challenging times in my life.
Daytona Beach police officer, Lt. Major Garvin, demanded he get free coffee from his local Starbucks, because you know, he’s an asshole cop.
He reportedly threatened employees with ’slower emergency response times’ if they failed to meet his demands.
Chief Mike Chitwood says Garvin recently failed a polygraph test that he insisted on taking. HA! This guy was so arrogant he thought he could pass it.
Starbucks’ employees say that the officer came in about 6 times a night for over a year and always demanded free coffee. Not only that, but he also cut in front of paying customers.
Garvin was fired July 8th after 15 years on the force.
Howard Stern revealed on his show that he is great friends with Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman and says he’s really bummed by their sudden split.
Stern told his listeners that he was set to go on vacation with the funny couple this week, but they obviously canceled out.
The shock jock says that Kimmel wrote to him and explained,
“Jimmy e-mailed me and said they were going through some tough times. I was so upset I had to go take a walk.”
Stern added that Kimmel told him that the break-up was mutual but that he feels like he “lost his best friend”.
I love Jimmy and Sarah together too! I’m kinda bummed as well. They just seemed like a compatible, crazy couple who liked to have a good time. Bum deal..
Both Jen and Ben adore being parents and she has always gushed about what a great father her husband is.
“I have to say, he’s an amazing dad and together, she’s a very fortunate little girl to be in that family.
You know how as a kid you picture yourself with a tall, handsome husband, and you imagine him cuddling your baby? Ben is like that, like, on crack. Violet prefers him to anyone. He’s a teddy bear of a guy. Nothing makes me happier than to see the two of them together and her little hands on his face. He has a prevailing calm. Of course, he has the benefit of sleep.”
Garner made it no secret that she was ready to have another child. She said back in October,
“We definitely wonder what it would be like to have another - hopefully, knock on wood, someday.
My job is great to have as a mom. I get to take breaks and then work in a really concentrated way. During that concentrated time, it sucks, but whatever.”
And, just in case you’re wondering, he’s still in the hospital, where I’ve been from around 9 a.m. – 1 a.m. since Monday July 7th.
