I remember how you like classic rock. This one is one of my all time favorites

Citizens of the United States have the privilege to vote in elections and there are a few rules that must be followed. You must be 18 or over, a resident (with some homeless exceptions) and not a convicted felon. You can register to vote online, by mail or in person at a local election office. Birth certificate or ID is required for a voter card to be issued. It usually takes a few weeks to receive your voter registration card in the mail.

When you go to vote, you will be asked to show a photo ID and that information will be cross referenced to confirm you are allowed into a voting booth to cast your vote. One registered voter, one vote.

Mail-in votes have some rules as you must request a ballot prior to an election. Only ONE will be sent out that is imprinted with your identification details. Mail-in ballot requests have a time limit and you will be notified that new requests have to be made for future elections.

From what I have read, the data base used to confirm who is on the eligibility list and who is not, is constantly updated. One thing it does do, is to verify if someone is deceased. So if you scoop up your dead uncle's photo ID and voter registration card, you may have an interview with election security at the polls.

I'm into my 4th year living in a condo and every year the HOA monthly rates go up. It was $450 the first year and now over $625. Much of the increase was due to rising insurance. I attended an association meeting last month and the president (of the association) stated some of the expenses the residents have to pay was mostly for the roof and structure insurance.
She stated, they keep a surplus because coming up will be the expense of re-roofing which is done should it fail inspection. Historically they try to avoid special assessments when something in the building fails.
I noted the vent fans in the elevator have rusted and ceased working, it appears it's not covered in the maintenance agreement with the elevator company and will have to wait for some other event to be considered.

Today in Yahoo Finance they ran a story about condo owners in Florida hit with a 563% increase. Not to get political about this, I think the governor should be working on a plan to help lower insurance rate hikes.


Before this move, I lived in a 70 year old house without a mortgage so no one monitored that I didn't have insurance coverage. Old style construction so I took my chances and was very lucky nothing happened, like a hurricane taking my roof off or the original wiring going up in smoke. It became an issue for the new buyer to obtain insurance for a structure that hadn't been insured prior to the sale.

My current neighbor does building maintenance and his wife is a realtor so they have connections about the development. Many of the residents are in their 80's and retired for many years, unexpected increases have them strapped for funds where some of them were forced to sell and move to assisted living facilities... what a horrible thought.

Every year, I tell my family not to get me anything for Christmas. They all develop selective hearing loss and get me something. This year, I received a small and simple gift that I will often use.
It's called GUARD YOURID.
My trash goes in a community dumpster, boxes into recycle bins. If you are like me, You'll probably peel off the labels bearing your name and address. If you cannot remove the label, covering the information with a marking pen is the next option.

This device looks like a date stamper with a roller wheel on the bottom. What it does is roll over a band of black ink quickly creating a security block to the information you want to cover.



Awesome

Once again, I didn't listen to the "little voice in my head", which told me to prepare individual presents for my workmates. I didn't do this, as I think making it individual is too personal, and I do this only for friends and family.

My last night at work before Christmas, was the 17 December. I like the team I'm working with, so same as the year before, I prepared a "thank you present" this time a crate of 5 kg clementine and about 1.5 kg small chocolates for the whole team. I bought all this with my own money.

The muslim guy working the evening shift said he doesn't eat sweets, but took a few clementine before leaving, that was ok. I told him that the present was for everyone. On the morning of 18/12, before going home, I presented the present to the morning staff... people who I've been working with for almost 2 years. They were happy and thanked me.

I returned to work on the 26, and everything was gone, even the presents we got from the families of the people we take care of. Last year, there was still some available, even until the new year.

On Monday night, first night in the new year, one of my workmates for almost 2 years, who is also one of the women who received the Xmas gift, told me that on the morning of the 19/12, there was nothing left of my present to them, but 2 others had had their boxes filled with clementines.

Tuesday morning, before leaving work, I asked another long time workmate, if she had gotten anything from the present, she replied "no", but 2 others were eating lots of clementines on the days after I had left the present.

This pi$$ed me off, made me upset and very, very angry, to the point that, not even listening to a book on the way home (I usually do this to and from work) calmed me down. I had breakfast, showered, went to bed, but couldn't sleep, I was crying, I kept thinking of what those 2 young muslim men had done. As they were working yesterday afternoon, I felt like instead of sleeping, I'd go back to work and confront about their behaviour.

Not wanting to cause problems, as I know I would have done, being as angry as I was (If i cry when I'm angry, it means I've reached, or am almost to "the point of no return"). I called and talked to one of my bosses, who calmed me down and I was able to sleep, but she said when I talk to the 2 men, to do it in a calm way, and say it wasn't nice of them, to do what they had done.

Some days before Xmas, I was talking to those 2 men and they said they don't celebrate Xmas, as it isn't part of their religion or culture.

My point with this blog is, why the hell did they eat and or even take home all of what I had left as a Xmas present for everyone...9 including then both. I've been working with the team for almost 2 years, 1 of those men started working with us 4, the other 2 months ago, which is also the same amount if time they've been working in the nursing home.... You don't celebrate Xmas, but your should still have something called a conscience, and respect for others and their cultures.

I'm not sure if I'll see them the 2 nights I'm working next week, but 1 thing is for sure, even if I'm off duty when they're working, I'm going to go to work and have a serious conversation with them about this. Not only that, I'l tell then that before their ramadan begins, they have to buy a big cake for the team. I'm not going to threaten them, just say it in a nice friendly way, whilst hiding the "poison" behind my smiles.

A quote from the top of the blog page:




A Blog is a journal you may enter about your life, thoughts, interesting experiences, or lessons you've learned.
I do, but some people complain about that.

Post an opinion, impart words of wisdom, or talk about something interesting in your day.
I do, but some people complain about that.

Update your blog on a regular basis, or just whenever you have something to say.
I do, but some people complain about that.

Creating a blog is a good way to share something of yourself with others.
It would appear that way on the surface. Should I go into detail of how people misinterpret what I say, gossip about me, copy or mock my comments in spinoff blogs?

Side note:
One of the biggest complaints about dating sites is the amount of scammers. I spend a few hours each week carefully researching bogus profiles FOR FREE and have been happy to have quietly rid CS of more than 1,000 fakes last year, yet one member here repeatedly has to make negative comments about it to others. In layman's terms WTF is wrong with you people?
