1 Week Tomorrow, I Return As Owner of ChrisBOnTheWeb!

                1 Week tomorrow, I am making my return as Owner of ChrisBOnTheWeb & ChrisBOnTheWeb.com. It has been a long coming to get back to what I was doing as Owner and excited to be returning. It will be almost 2 months I have been away from the day to day operations and been in contact with Matt and the rest of the team while I was away so I was involved with advising if they needed advice on any of the decisions with the website this goes for Chelsea and Charlotte who were with us for weeks to a month or months at the most. I intended to stay in touch and why they are in our private Staff chat groups and what not. Yes this means I will be wearing my white tags again which has been put away in the top drawer but will be pulling it out end of next week and putting it back on Saturday morning as I will be back fully not just Executive Producing and Hosting Podcasts but as your Founder and Owner for nearly the last 7 years!

               I wanna thank, past site admins and our current Site Admin, Matt for watching over the website, I know we have had a bad turn over with Site Admins but they have been what has kept the website and the team running smoothly for nearly the last 2 months while I was away getting better and dealing with my Mental Health. I think it is what I needed was to take time away from the day to day operations and just focus on Executive Producing and Hosting duties for a little bit which I did very, very well. What is going to happen to Matt now that I am returning as Owner? Well he will be strictly on his Site Admin duties moving forward and continue to maintain and improve the website on a day to day basis and he already has with the Team Page now update fully once again earlier this week as it was out of date. Any further questions do not hesitate to contact us on our Facebook Fan Page, Twitter or Instagram. Have a great weekend and I will speak to you all on Tuesday!

Minecraft Updates

                 I know from the original world my nephew and I well the game completely crashed itself as we put way too much in the world. You can say it, we literally broke Minecraft. I think we had way too many blocks given to a player. Anyways fast forward to today, we re created the world and it is 10x better then the original. We have the same main house plus now a horse palace where we house our wonderful horses including Billy Whiteshoes Johnson and Lighting III which Billy is glassed in for good and will never be used for travel as he is a permanent stay in the property and it was hard for me to find him in a world and I do not want anything to happen to him and right next to the Stables building is the infamous Office building which is still incomplete as I ran into a roadblock with it the water elevator accidently blew up and water all over the floor and out of the building (LOL!) Also a creeper also blew up a part of the second floor on top of the 4th floor so I made those repairs to the office and continue to work on the building here and there as there is a ton of floors, we're talking 10 floor building and it is a more complex building then the original one. Now below all the buildings in my area is the garden center and farm with animals. The ceiling is kegged with sea lamps which looks very epic. I have yet to put the sea lamps in the house and the map wall back up as well but work in progress!

              On the one side is my nephew's little but cute house and just behind it is the spawner that is half working but something doesn't seem to be right as every time they drop they die so I need to figure that part out why that is happening. With my nephew's help we build the Obsidian wall that is like very, very high. He put lighter purple obsidian like a castle which is cool with water and lava falls and I can see our raiders as we keep getting raided with these dudes with cross bows which our resident villagers with Golems to protect us but every time we get raided the Villagers freak out and go nuts. Those are the updates and it has been a crazy time with this game and has gotten wild and crazy. I will see you in another post tomorrow.

How Am I Handling My Mental Health?

            Today I wanna focus on how I am dealing with it. Some days are are good where I am fully functioning and other days not so much such as Saturday into Sunday as I got devasting news with a former site admin has passed away on top of the other sad news as well, it's just overwhelming for me and we all mourn differently and one of the reasons why I sometimes am quiet. I'm not bottling it in, just the way I am dealing with all of this really. I know and I hear this from my team every single day that my mental health comes first and I know that but if I take time for myself then I fall behind schedule. I should take time at least an hour or two if I am feeling down and I did on the weekend. An unhappy Chris is a unmotivated person like I have been recently. Sometimes I just do not wanna take my medication for my Autism and that is no excuse to skip it because I am totally not myself.

            I need to stay on the medication or I will not be able to focus and get the job done. I know I have a website to go on or phone numbers to call but I just do not feel like talking to anyone about what's going on but might have to force myself to make the call or send the text out. I need to be focused to get things out at a timely fashion. Yes work is a priority and I enjoy Executive Producing and Hosting Podcasts but I have to remember I as a person comes first. It is not easy to stay positive and in the last year, been working hard to becoming a more positive person and be happier. Last week, Thursday afternoon I was happy because I was getting vaccinated and that put a smile so I am starting to smile but it's one thing and one day at a time. Anyways that is what I have to say and I promise to work on getting better and thank you from th bottom of my heart to those who have checked in on me. I will see you all in my next post tomorrow.

How Am I Post First Dose Vaccination?

                   Now that I am almost 2 days vaccinated with the Moderna Vaccine for this virus going around still, I have felt a few things.... First was the really sore arm, then feeling tired all together and that is partially my fault I fell asleep an hour and couldn't sleep anymore so I was up the entire night until 430 am EDT when I finally fell asleep up to 11 am this morning. That probably is one of the side effects of this vaccination as I have been warned about this well before getting vaccinated and even on the day of the nurse, she warned me there could be side effects and I thought nah that won't be me. Well I got a little too cocky on that as two of those symptoms hit me and normally I do not get symptoms that especially with the flu shot but this one is different really. However I feel great and soon as I ate something today I got my strength back and I think it had to do with the fact I didn't eat anything and I made a run to the corner store for something and mow the lawn and went to the lake to see freighters the Vectis Pride and Federal Bering ships that are in there so I just didn't care if I was tired and I know it's already catching up to me quite quickly. 

               I know the second dose will be a ton stronger and I am probably going to feel more affects of it but never know we will have to wait and see, I am quite a very strong person when it comes to getting needles and what not, especially getting flu shot which I haven't had since the year after I had the flu. Anyways I hope I do sleep a ton better tonight and more then I did last night and I have a feeling I am going to pass the heck out after supper and that's ok, just hope I stay sleeping right through till 3 or 4 am tomorrow and get back into a more steadier sleep and I believe the wanting to sleep a bunch and always tired has to do with the vaccine. It has hit me a little bit and if that's gonna be the setback for a few days, I will try to work as much as possible with taking breaks inbetween. That is todays post and I am sorry it's late but we had a mishap with post scheduling this morning. We will be back on time on tomorrow.

ChrisBOnTheWeb Weekly Updates [04-19-2021]

 Another week has begun which means it is time for another Weekly Update and I have a ton of updates to give you all. We have indeed been busy with getting more content out for you guys and adding stuff and updating the entire website to make sure it is up to date but here are the updates to the website:

Website: Friday morning during the night before Friday morning hit, I updated the Schedule Page with the schedule changes with Podcast content so to speak and we have added a Podcast to the list which I will get into below. Also we rearranged the Team Page and had to move someone around which again I will get down below. 

The CBOTW Show: Big Brother Canada is now in it's home stretch and Chris and Jasmine continue with 2 shows a week up to the end of Week # 9 of BBCAN9 then they head into Week # 10 with an Wednesday Podcast Recording session with it going up Thursday at some point of the day and Thursday night Episode recording session which could more then likely be live on Facebook depending if Larry is present and if they can stay live without an issue with it. Also Big Brother Australia is coming up fast and Boss Man Chris and Jasmine are working on getting Chris S ready for his debut episode with his Cast Assessment Podcast and scheduling for Big Brother Australia Recaps in the scheduling for the next 9 weeks which probably will still be up and running during the Big Brother US 23 airing. Also be on the lookout for the 3 year Anniversary Podcast with Larry, Boss Man Chris and Jasmine coming as they will be recording it on the Anniversary and more then likely live on our Facebook Fan Page. We are looking for hosts for The Amazing Race, The Amazing Race Canada, Survivor and The Simpsons Recaps on our Network so if interested to fill out the form here: https://forms.gle/6BF7fBQfsQAK17xZ6 

Sports Hour W/ Billy: Yes this is a name that is familiar with ChrisBOnTheWeb and we tried bringing this into production and after much debate where to place Billy on the team, Chris has greenlit this project once again and will be up on the platforms on Wednesdays @ 6 pm EST and this is the permanent time and day it will be going up for you. It will be Audio ONLY, will be found here on ChrisBOnTheWeb.com and other Audio ONLY Platforms the podcast is being distributed to. 

Power Rangers Podcast (Within The CBOTW Show): It has been a long debate for Executive Producer, Chris B, Larry and Senior Producer Jasmine to bringing this podcast back onto the Network and he has been hinting it returning and it so obviously the podcast that has been on Hiatus for almost 5 months now. Also the fact the 05.20.2021 date he posted in that cryptic message he posted it is so obvious that is what he is hinting is the return of that podcast finally. We will have to wait and see if that is what he has planned when he's ready to announce the return of the Podcast. 

                 Those are the updates I have for you guys today and I appreciate you all reading this post and the boss man will be back tomorrow and he has some great posts this week as he is going on almost one day since being vaccinated fully and I am sure he will be talking about it tomorrow but I will catch you all next week!

Chris Returns As Owner May 1st, 2021!

                     I wanted to let you know Chris has made the decision to return ChrisBOnTheWeb on Saturday, May 1st, 2021 which will be effective as of the time he wakes up in the morning. He will be back blogging as of Tuesday morning as always with some new posts but I am talking about the day to day operations he will be back May 1st. It has been by that time a month and a half since he has been a part of the day to day operations with me and all I can say I cannot wait to welcome him back with open arms. I suggested he does a live stream or something to celebrate his return and he is going to think about it but don't worry he will be still around the Social Medias between now and end of the month. I believe with him taking the extra time away will help him with his mental health and will help him heal as you know he recently has been mourning the loss of his cousin down in the U.S, Nikki Grahame passing away and Prince Phillip he's really having a tough time right now.

                  Back on Monday, he was suppose to be back but he approached me about taking more time off and I did not know anything till Tuesday evening and immediately wrote this announcement post that he is indeed RETURNING and I am sure he is excited and anticipating returning to the team fully and we will have a full team again not half the team. So it may be a few weeks to go but I am capable of returning and ever since taking over for him on March 10th of this year. It will be almost a full 2 months but not quite. Anyways that is the post for today, have a great weekend and I will be talking to you guys Monday and reminder Chris is back to blogs Tuesday morning.

What Is It Like Being An Site Admin For Chris?

                  Working for the Boss Man has been so much fun! Working on a day to day basis with his website besides my freelance job as a web designer is a ton of fun and something to do outside my regular day to day work and things been a little slow with that so been working with him on the website ideas. Now that I have the extra duties on the day to day while he's on a sabbatical as owner of ChrisBOnTheWeb, I have learned so much what his day to day activities are like. It's a ton of work but nothing that I can handle. I've had to make some tough decisions recently for example removal of our chatroom off ChrisBOnTheWeb.com and removal of the staff accounts that also are a part of it too. Now that it is done, I am on standby for anything else that needs to be done with the website wise. I do go to him if I am unsure of something and the other team members.

              Either way it has been an honor to be with this amazing team and I know he is blessed to have me and the rest of the team behind him 150% and put the hard work into the content that you guys see on a regular basis. Without us the Staff of his website, non of this could be made possible as we work on content everyday we are always coming up with new ideas for the website or content but either way, we continue on a daily basis to grow this thing and the view count proves it. Finally I wanna thank Chris for bringing me on as the New Site Admin and I am here to stay for a long haul. I also want to say thank you to you guys for welcoming me into this amazing community I feel very welcome to this community and I will speak to you guys tomorrow.

Chels, Site Admin
