Rico is not a crime
I hope potus 45 is paying attention to this democrat's nonsense; Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.).
Do you want to write your best book ever?
Years back, a friend of mine on here (Robert) and I would chat back and forth. There was talk with me to him about my pursuit of writing a book.
I guess at that time, that was one of my interests. Well, that book was never written by me.
What is the significance of writing a book in the first place?
Is it to express your personal form of entertainment for the reader?
Is it to stimulate a reader's imagination?
Is it to teach?
Is it to share with the world your inner thoughts?
I suppose the purpose of a book could just about be about anything.
The funny thing is, I was just referencing all my past blogs I wrote. I was surprised to see they date back to 10 years or so. That is pretty cool that CS keeps them available for that long.
The time I wrote each and everyone of those blogs are a reflection of where I was at that time...my questions about life, my concerns, and a general quest for further understanding. There was no overall ego I was attempting to satisfy...or any type of selfish desire I was meaning to achieve. With over 300 blogs created and a multitude of subjects, thoughts, and inquiries...
one could cultivate all these...and put them to print. A book born out of organic means....in my opinion, the best book anyone could ever write. I would highly recommend others accidentally take the same trip.
What do other bloggers think or feel about their past writings? As far as that goes, even people who do not post their own thoughts and inquiries online (for example in a journal or diary), what do you think when you read over your past posts?

So it begins!
I have begun the expensive task of buying what I need for my birthday in three months time. I have so much to buy, but I am taking it in stages.
Today's stage was all the soda. Five crates of mixed sodas and 18 small bottles of Fanta Exotic. 704 kroner for that, or just around $103.
The next stage is the beer, alcohol and the food, which will be very expensive. I am going to write down everything I need for the various foods: Hot wings, hotdogs and burgers. I know I need some onion, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, mustard, ketchup and cheese, if someone wants to make a cheese burger. Apart from that, I also need a load of other things, but that will all come in time.
I don't need to buy wine, because my mother has that in stock. I also need snacks, chocolate, coffee, candy and possibly a cake as well.
It's gonna be expensive, but so worth it!

Crisis averted! (Making plans for my 40th birthday - part 3)
Yesterday, my mother called me and asked if I had paid the fee for the venue where I am having my 40th birthday shindig. I replied that I believe I did pay the fee, and that I would check it and report back.
If the bill isn't paid 2 months before the date of the event, it will be rented out to someone else. So, naturally, I kind of panicked. I mean, what if I hadn't paid the bill? Where would I host the party? Would it be hosted outside on the grass? Up at my mothers apartment? That might be a bit small, because I am expecting 20 people. I could host it at my place. I have a garden big enough, and there's also a basement room, but that's too small.
So - I had a look at my mobile pay statements, and I found the payment last year. I then had a look at my account, and I found the payment as well, so it should have been paid. To be sure, my mother would talk to the caretaker of the apartment complex she lives in, and report back. I wasn't worried, because if the payment had gone through, and I hadn't received my money back, everything should be in order. Right?
This morning, my mother called me to report on what the caretaker said. Everything is in order.
That means I can continue with the planning. We are about a month away from my birthday, so it's about time to figure out the menu. I might draw up something in photoshop and get it professionally printed out and hung on the wall. I think I'm gonna do that. I need to figure out what size A3 paper is and make something truly fantastic!
It's gonna rule!

God Bless the USA! Court Lowers Trump Bond From $464 Million to $175 Million. Due in 10 days.
“ The Appellate Division, First Judicial Department of the New York State Supreme Court has granted a stay of enforcement on the $464 million judgment on former President Donald Trump with conditions, allowing the Trump Organization to avert having assets imminently seized by the New York Attorney General.
The order came after defense attorneys argued a $464 million bond was impossible after having contracted four brokers to negotiate with more than 30 companies. Sureties don’t issue bonds that big for private individuals, and even if the Trump Organization was a public conglomerate they could issue such a bond to, it would require some $570 million in cash to cover additional premiums.
The court’s conditions for lowering the bond include President Trump posting $175 million within 10 days and the other orders on the judgment going into effect.
The judgment permanently bars former Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg and comptroller Jeffrey McConney from serving in financial control of any New York business entity; permanently bars President Trump, Mr. Wesselberg, and Mr. McConney from serving as an officer or director of any New York corporation for three years; bars President Trump from applying for loans for New York financial institutions for three years; and bars Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump from serving as an officer or director in New York for two years.
There was no stay requested for the continuance of an independent monitor overseeing financial matters in the Trump Organization or the installation of a compliance officer, and that will continue.
The stay is conditioned on the appeals being done by September 2024.

Another choice of mine for potus, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Issues Dire Warning Over CBDC Adoption
Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. warned that central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) pave the way for an authoritarian government in America similar to Europe and the Chinese communist regime.
“I’m against central bank digital currencies because that is part of the path to getting us where China is today. That’s where they started, that’s where all these other countries started with central bank digital currency, and it’s the end of freedom. We will be slaves if we allow that to happen,” Mr. Kennedy said during a March 22 event. He pointed to the Canadian trucker’s protests to explain why CBDCs were dangerous for freedoms. The Canadian government portrayed the truckers “as right-wing, fascist, and racist” when they were not, he said.
“The government used facial recognition systems and other intrusive technologies to identify the participants, all the truckers. They got their license plates, etc. And then they froze their bank accounts. So they couldn’t get diesel for their trucks, they couldn’t buy food for their kids, they couldn’t pay for their education, they couldn’t pay their mortgages.”
“As your president, I will never allow the creation of a central bank digital currency. Such a currency would give the federal government absolute control of your money,” he said. “This would be a dangerous threat to freedom and I will stop it from coming to America.”
In a July 2023 video, Brexit leader Nigel Farage highlighted the dangers of government control over currencies. “The ultimate fear is if we get CBDCs, we could finish up like the Canadian truckers, people who were within the law, found themselves outside the law and had their bank accounts frozen. Controlling people’s money would be the ultimate form of tyranny.”
Several key international figures admitted that CBDCs will allow for greater control over people’s finances.
During a seminar back in 2020, Agustin Carstens, general manager of the Bank for International Settlements, pointed out that “we don’t know who’s using a $100 bill today, and we don’t know who’s using a 1,000-peso bill today.”
The key difference with the CBDC is “the central bank will have absolute control on the rules and regulations that will determine the use of that expression of central bank liability, and also we will have the technology to enforce that,” he explained.
No more cbdc or wokeness for a healthier planet. Praise God.

Deleting my profiles on dating apps and applying for a new job
Yesterday, I deleted all the dating apps that I had on my phone, and cancelled the subscriptions. It's a money pit anyway, and I didn't really get any messages from people I matched with. One of the apps is set up, so the woman is the first to write. After 24 hours of no messages, the match expires.
I was on that app for quite a few months. I think for about a year. During that time, I had matched with five people, but no messages came after the match was mutual. Finally, I had had enough and cancelled the subscription, deleted my profile and the app itself from my phone.
The other one was a no match bonanza as well, so I threw in the towel and cancelled the subscription, deleted my profile and deleted the app as well.
I now only have two dating profiles. One on Facebook dating and this. I use this profile for the blogs, so technically it doesn't count. Will I be back on those apps again? No. Too much time and money wasted.
_______
Today, I found a job posting for a warehouse job at a company that's literally in nerd heaven. They are looking for someone who has warehouse experience, and is familiar with picking and packing orders - which fits me well. Deadline for applications is tomorrow, so I have sent an application today. Hopefully I will hear back from them soon. If not, I'm just going to continue working where I currently work.
Fingers crossed.

The hunt for a new forever tenant.
I had a guy who rented my other farmhouse for 23 years. We were like family..I knew stuff was taken care of. The plant he worked at blew up and killed him!
But, his best bud who hung on the farm with him, said have me and I will take the house. 6 years. And he ended up with a staph infection from a hospital visit and in a week of going in to the VA sick, died last October!
So I helped his family clear the house. And then decided to shut off heat and water which I need for the barn or button up the house and heat it low. Filled windows with sofa foam kept out of their dumpster, heavy vinyl and pink styrofoam, taped, shut off and made it through. Plus could work on fixing stuff a bachelor didnt think was important. Still lots to do to bring it back up AGAIN!
So now got to thinking..summer leases. So posted ad on craigs to start search. I spell out lots of what I want. I live on the opposite side of the barnyard so have more control over who I take. First is a 25 year old with a 2 year old kid, newly split. NO! House has lead paint, stairs, balcony, poison ivy, barbed wire, stinging nettles and a mule, plus river shore. WELL! You want a prepper type and think nettles are bad. Yeah? Well go set that kid bare butted in them and you deal with the screaming! House is listed ONE bedroom. Craigs wont let me say no kids. I dont need to watch some young guys kid nor deal with his ex who thinks things are not rosy.
Then get a guy who sounds great. But, no car, doesnt want want anymore. Uh..10 miles from town..kind of NEED one?
Then a woman. And another woman.
Now I can't say a woman wont work out. I can do everything a man can and know boarders ex could. But, men do have advantages women dont. Life heavy lifting powers? Strength? Mechanical abilities more than women?
I guess I will keep searching for that forever tenant that likes historic homes, farm life, off grid prepper type and OH... I forgot a guy...a JOB!
I guess for some renters...would be renters...hope springs eternal in the hearts of the doomed. Rather like the young ones on CS who hope to get "adopted" by a sugar daddy or mommy.
I wish the newspaper actually had ads anymore or stores had bulletin boards. Bars do..uh..no thanks. Farms stores maybe. But, those customers HAVE a farm.
Meanwhile I guess I run the farm myself. Been there, done that. And hope to find a tenant/caretaker that doesnt get killed!
