 By Argile Stox Mar. 10, 2006 Well, today I woke up feeling a little better. Tracy and I had a long discussion last night about the gag order received from PublishAmerica. “I would not sign that document in a million years." I looked at her rather perplexed. “That gag order not only binds me, my mother, any of my relatives, and all of my friends from talking about PublishAmerica.” I thought about that for a moment and realized that she was right. If her mother says anything disparaging about PublishAmerica, or if one of her relatives says anything negative about PublishAmerica, or any of our friends say anything that may be construed as a negative comment about PublishAmerica – I can be fined $5,000.00 per incident. I am fully aware, and have been reassured that there is no court in this land that would uphold that gag order agreement of PublishAmerica. The gag order should be written this way: “If Argile Stox writes anything disparaging about PublishAmerica on any message board or writes a disparaging column in a newspaper or Web Site Forum or talks about PublishAmerica in any demeaning way to the media–he will be fined $5,000.00 per each incident.” Giving it a great deal of thought, I can live with that statement. However, their current gag order reaches too damn far. I do not believe that any business in the United States can limit a person who is connected to me by friendship or relation, cannot say anything disparaging about PublishAmerica. As the gag order is constructed now, there is no way that I would sign it. Believe me I would really like to get out of my PublishAmerica contract. However, I am not going to have Tracy, her family, our friends, and our relations watch their words and what they say about PublishAmerica. It just doesn’t make sense. So, I woke up this morning resolved that I will be under the contract with PublishAmerica until such time as my generous relative believes that all civilized avenues of communications have been exhausted. I will live my life as usual and concentrate on other issues that are going on in my world. For instance, I modified a wooden chair so that the optical mouse can freely roam around the wide wooden arm rests. I just drilled a square hole in the wooden arm rest, slipped the wire from the optical mouse through it –and plugged it into the computer. I also drilled a second square hole in the same armrest and slipped the wire from headphone/microphone through it, and plugged it into the computer. This will prevent the wires from getting ripped out of the computer, getting tangled up and or walked on accidentally when I leave the computer. I have been thinking about doing that project for the past two months. However, I have been so consumed with this PublishAmerica thing –I could not think of anything else. What really got me started on this project was the fact that I finally found my battery operated drill. I was repairing something a couple months ago and I put the drill somewhere when I finished the project. I looked high and low all over the house for at least three weeks trying to locate the drill. Finally, I gave up –and figured it will pop up one day. Well, it finally popped up –I found the drill exactly where I placed it a couple months ago. Ever have one of those experiences? Otherwise, I am slowly decompressing from the entire PublishAmerica experience. I am no longer racking my brain trying to construct an e-mail or letter in my mind that will persuade the powers that be in that company to release me from that contract, which has five years to go – before it expires. I will leave the situation in God’s and my very generous relatives hands. When my relative says “Enough Is Enough,” and God decides “Enough Is Enough;” that is when things will start happening. Meanwhile, Tracy and I are going to concentrate on us; and make up for some lost time, if you know what I mean…-LOL! For all those who are still angry, steamed, pissed-off, and ready to prepare for war with PublishAmerica –I wish you the best of luck. Did you ever wonder why the guy kept knocking his head against the wall? Well, he felt so relieved when he stopped. However, if PublishAmerica sends any authority official or an individual posing as an authority official to my house to throw some sort of scare into me, that will be the last straw. That event will be the culmination and final resolution to the PublishAmerica conflict. Just don’t piss me off! Dear Readers, thank you for tolerating my rants and raves about my present situation with PublishAmerica. Hopefully, this will be my last article concerning the PublishAmerica saga. I really don’t know what my next article will be about. When I wake up in the morning and if I have something to write about that is on my mind, or events that are happening in the world that I need to comment on, or an article - just to bore you to death –I will write it; and hopefully the editor will publish it—LOL! ------------ Email Argile Stox: argilestox@gmail.com Comment on this article here! ------------ All articles are EXCLUSIVE to Useless-Knowledge.com and are not allowed to be posted on other websites.
