In a post on Truth Social platform, Trump wrote, “If this Partisan Hack wants to put me in the 'clink' for speaking the open and obvious TRUTH, I will gladly become a Modern Day Nelson Mandela - It will be my GREAT HONOR

Mandela wound up spending 27 years in prison for leading the African National Congress (ANC), which opposed apartheid policies that kept South Africa's Black residents segregated, often in inhumane conditions.

While rulers all over the world were busy empowering themselves and their friends, he was busy empowering his people.

Get over yourself Donald you are no match for Mandela and your comment is an insult.The only person you try to empower is yourself.

Nice remix of a classic

You need repent of your sins and improve daily that you get better and better and good.
believing and obeying God will save you.
Love God with all heart...,and love your neighbours as yourself.
God bless.

POCONG is a term used in Indonesian folklore to refer to the ghost of a deceased person who is trapped in a burial shroud. It is believed that the soul of the deceased cannot fully move on to the afterlife and remains trapped in the shroud, resulting in a manifestation of a ghostly figure. The pocong is often depicted as wrapped in white cloth with its arms and legs bound. It is known to hop or float, rather than walking, and is believed to bring bad luck or cause harm to those who encounter it.(https://www.definitions.net/definition/POCONG)

It happened last week. In my previous blog, I wrote about the storeroom at my work place. So far I have never really seen one upclose. TOUCH WOOD. I don't intend to encounter one. I am a teacher in a primary school. As I was passing by this Year 1 class(7 year olds pupils), a few of them called me:

Pupils 1 : Teacher, teacher there's a pocong.(ghost)
Me : What? Where?
Pupil 2 : (Pointing to the storeroom. The storeroom was not far from the classroom)
Me : (I was tempted to turn and look at the storeroom but I was too scared to do that. Who knows, that
thing might appear and let me have 3rd eye) Oh ok.
Me : How does it look like? ( I asked one of the girls that saw 'pocong')
Pupil 1 : The face is black.
Me : What did the 'pocong' wear? Did it has hair?
Pupil 1 : Not wearing anything. Just white cloth.
Me : Oh. Ok, don't worry. Next time don't look at the storeroom (I further asked the same questions to
the second girl)
Pupil 2 : (She gave the same answer as the first girl but added ...) I saw it at the storeroom and behind the canteen. ( the class is near the canteen too)
Me : You mean, there are two of them?
Pupil 2 : No, only 1. It hops.
Pupil 3( a boy) : I saw too. It has red eyes.
Me : Duh....( I began to feel scared. I believed them but I couldn't tell them what they saw was real. )
Me : ( I asked the girls) Are you scare?
The 2 girls: No.
Me : Don't be scared. Next time don't look at the storeroom.

PS: Before this incident, I have heard about the sighting of 'pocong' in the storeroom by a teacher. She has third eye. The descriptions are the same. She even saw it in her classroom. That happened last year. Sigh....I hope and pray it does not show itself in front of me. I have 2 more years before my retirement. Let me retire peacefully. Amen.

I studied Uilleann (Irish) pipes in a former life and pipers often talked about their 'big gig' was to play in a pub on St. Patrick's Day. Some made the most money on that event, more than any other performance.
Good music, great craic... lots of brew.

I quick scanned the forums and blogs, but not to see any mention of this holiday today.

Tradition for those living in Chicago is to witness them adding dye into the river!

Being almost 40, with no partner for my entire adult life, I feel it's time to once again throw caution to the wind and go on a blind date, to see who I can meet.

I am not very demanding of my future blind date: Be a decent person and be employed full time. I don't want to end up with a raging racist/homophobic person who is broke. Someone who loves to laugh, would also be nice. It doesn't have to be in a restaurant or in a cafe. A walk and talk is much better. Just for an hour, to see if there's chemistry. I am always suggesting meeting in a public place, with lots of people. If there's a second date, it could be in a restaurant or in cafe. Third date could be in the cinema, and the fourth date could be in a theme park.

The time to visit each other in their private homes is only when we both feel like it's the right time to do that. No point in pressuring to meet privately for the first time. You'd want to see if the person you're on a blind date with is sane and not a creepy serial killer like person.

The thing I have heard most from women, going on blind dates - or any date - is that the guy they're meeting won't take no for an answer or are way too creepy. I saw a tiktok about a woman from England who met a guy on a dating app. They agreed to meet, but the guy kept trying to arrange to meet where the woman lived. Naturally, it was a hard no from her side, but the guy didn't catch on.

As you could imagine, meeting up in a public place wasn't his ideal location, because he packed an overnight bag because apparently, he thought he's get lucky with her.

Men like that are the reason why the men, who aren't creeps, get a harder and harder time finding a date. Once, I met someone online, and after a few weeks it was time to meet in person. She said to me "Now you're probably demanding to meet at my place, right?", to which I said "No. I prefer to meet at a public place with lots of people, and if you decide not to pursue this further, that's fine". It only resulted in that first date, which I respected.

I am blabbing on. The point is, that I want to meet someone new. Hopefully that will happen soon.

In other topics: A new movie to my collection. This time, it's a fairly new horror movie, called The Last Voyage of the Demeter. It's a supernatural horror movie based on a chapter in Bram Stoker's novel Dracula, from 1897. The film is, naturally, about Dracula and the terror and horror he inflicted on the Demeter.

It's a fun and very gory time. It's not very creepy, but the creature design can be a bit frightening to younger viewers.

It's also a bit sad at times, and downright depressing at other times, but most of all: It's very good! If you are a fan of supernatural horror movies with lots of blood, give The Last Voyage of the Demeter a view!

These past few weeks, I have been very active on Instagram, where I watch reels. I need to stop doing that at night, just before bed.

The reason? Food.. I watch a LOT of food reels, and it's making me hungry.

Last night, I was watching about ten reels with brisket, mac and cheese, spaghetti, lasagne and big steaks. One reel improved on the Baconator from Wendy's, which in of itself is a damn fine burger. Now, seeing as it was around midnight, and all the shops were closed, I had no way of buying the ingredients I needed to make said burger from scratch. I also didn't have a blender, so.. Maybe it's for the best, because I wanted to make the bacon mayonnaise that was put in the burger.

I also got a fantastic idea for bacon cheese, but that'll be made another day. To add to that: I need to experiment with barbecue sauces, because I need different ones for different meats. Some of them will be spicy. I love spicy stuff!

My cooking is about to be taken to the next level over the next few months!

The 6 Year Old Little Palestinian girl who is trapped in a car that the Israelis shot up and killed her entire family
The Authorities talked with her for hours to keep her spirits up
In her dire situation....She is wounded and stuck in a car with her dead relatives all around her
It is freezing outside and she is terrified of the Dark
The Red Crescent sent 2 EMT men to find her with the Coordinance from the phone she is using to get to where she is
And now? the people of the Red Crescent have now lost contact with those 2 would be rescuers
It certainly looks as though they might have been killed by the Israeli Army because the Israelis shoot first and if you are still alive? They will then ask Questions
Something has to be done to try and stop the Brutal killing of the Children
May little Hind Amada be protected by God

It is my belief that this world would be better off
If the Children of the World were in charge The grownups really suck at the job
