Pescetarian Skippy

Day 3 and so far so good. I just decided I would try it. My daughter 12 is. To save you time it’s like a vegetarian that eats seafood. But Vegatarians hate that reference. 

Urban Dictionary says:

Pescetarian is an omnivore who excludes poultry, beef, and pork from their diet but includes fish (and usually other forms of seafood like shrimp, oysters, scallops, etc.).  Because these people do choose to include meat in their diet (seafood is muscle tissue from a live animal and therefore meat), they are not vegetarian as vegetarians do not consume meat.Sally doesn’t eat beef, chicken, or poutry but does include fish and some other forms of seafood in her diet. She is a pescetarian.

Friends don’t let friends open referral Key…

If you get an invite to join referral Key delete it. Otherwise upon opening the invite,  they will spam all your Linkedin contacts with invites. They also may create a profile of you on their site and try to pass it off as if you created the profile. If you ask them to take it down via customer service they will send you a genius email like this one…

Simply log into your account. Choose “settings” at the top of the page, then “cancel”

Download the e-book… it goes over the site in incredible detail http://goo.gl/CKc0EE

That would be great except I never signed up for the fake account you created in the first referral key. 

I now have found something worse then Linkedin, in fact referral key is the anti LinkedIn thats how bad they are.

This past Wednesday the man that should have hosted the Tonight show retired from his own show the Late Show with David Letterman. His last show had many celebrities stop by to do a top ten list and then it was Dave talking saying goodbye and turning things over to the Foo Fighters.

I remember when Johnny Carson retired and it was so sad it made me cry. When David Letterman did Wednesday, I felt relieved for him somehow. He went out his way, on his terms.  Thank you David Letterman for 30 years of entertainment we will never forget. 

How to recover your YouTube account, when you delete it by accident when trying to rid yourself of Google+

Sadly the only way to recover your YouTube channel is to reinstall google+ which is probably what caused this problem in the first place. Sometime in 2014 google decided to make a bad thing (google+) interdependent with a good thing (youTube). I deleted my Youtube by accident when I wanted to get rid of a 2nd Skip Bensley profile on google+ but now there are sadly two of them. Not my choice of course but it’s google being google. It would have been better if there were a way to merge accounts but that would make too much sense and of course Google is not in the business of making sense.

Here is my restored YouTube channel. If you subscribe I’ll post a personal video thank you.  https://www.youtube.com/user/SkipBensley

Today I was editing my google+ settings and I inadvertently deleted my old brillliantvideo account with videos going back 10 years when all I wanted to delete was my google+ account on that user name. Why does google make it so f-ing hard to do anything with its platforms? Now I am on f-ing Google hold listening to f-ing google muzak.
