I just double checked the code and it wasnt eating words, but I also can't really see any of your entries because its friends locked. Since the posted time is running over the edge... it tells me that maybe you didn't put it as two columns sidebar left, my guess is that the alpha and beta columns are switched.
Deleted the last comment to add: I wish I knew how to get rid of just some buttons like the tell a friend, etc... they drive me nuts too. I tried searching around but came up with nothing. If you someone else knows, or you find out, please let me know :D
