Bermuda Triangle: Scientists think they've figured it out...

Twice this week I've seen stories that scientists think they've figured it out what causes planes and boats to disappear in the region known as the Bermuda Triangle:
Monster Waves

Those guys need to stop smoking that funny tobacco.

Mentioned in one article, tsunami-like rogue waves reaching 100 feet tall. Storms from the North and South of the Atlantic Ocean converging on each could cause this. They created a model and in simulation believed this was the reason the ship USS Cyclops disappeared in 1918.
Okay, I'm with you on that.

Explain to me how aircraft flying at several thousand feet could get hit by a 100 tidal wave?
How could dozens of planes disappear?
Many lost radio contact with the tower including a squadron.

Somebody needs to rethink the wave theory.


Thanks for reading my blog!

Obnoxious amounts of Parfume...

I commented on an interesting blog today that referenced meeting someone blindfolded. It was posted by daniela777 and described using your senses as opposed to the visual of meeting. Good blog!
Maybe a friend gave you a name and number to someone they thought you would be interested in. Generations of first contacts were made using a landline telephone. For that you could get a sense of the personality, likes, dislikes, family background about someone. If things sounded good you moved on to a formal meeting.
Pretty normal. You've done it a bunch of times.

I'll (try to) keep this blog short.

Over the years, I had to turn down a few relationships because the woman/women had an addiction to perfume. I didn't care to get into discussions of 'their perfume identity' I just moved on.

Perfume was invented to mask out bad odors. I'm not saying they had odor, I'm saying I had to keep my distance because of the excessive amount of perfume they were wearing. It's no difference than a drug addiction, the more you wear the stronger you want it so 2 or 3 hours later it feels like you have nothing on when the truth is you're wilting the flower on your desk!

My business is kitchen cabinet design and sales. I'm meeting women all the time. I recall a meeting with a designer and her client in my showroom. We sat down in the sample room that's 10' x 10' in size. BOTH women had the sniffles and BOTH women had so much perfume I wanted to keep the door open. Because people where in the room next to us, they wanted the door closed. I WAS DYING... it was like someone dropped a bottle of insecticide!!

I couldn't wait for them to leave so I could take aspirin and a few puffs of asthma medicine. On their leaving our receptionist mentioned people in the building remarked about how their perfume smell was everywhere.

There's a perfume on the market called POISON. I've smelled it before... appropriate name too!

That said, if you want to be remembered on a first date, spray on some obnoxious amounts of perfume...

Awesome...

I wrote a blog stating I had noticed 600+ new members joining CS in a period of less than 4 days. I believed they were all scammer profiles because they were within 22-25 years old using photos that looked like models and their opening lines had similar website addresses.

Researching the addresses got me to the main URL of Google Meet. It looks like the purpose of the GM is to create virtual meeting rooms similar to Hangouts or Whatsapp.

I reported a few different profiles that had the same photo and a few where I found the social media sites that the photos were most likely stolen from.

Logging in this morning my unopened email message counter was down. Some of the scammers who contacted me disappeared in the night!

I had bookmarked more than 20 bogus profiles and checking them today I see they were all gone.
applause

Kudos to the administrators who quickly responded to eliminate bogus profiles on CS!

I say do the math...

Dozens of profiles of young women on dating sites who state they are looking for someone to spend the rest of their life with. Sounds good... doesn't it?

Typically they are 25 to 35 years old looking for men 50-99

laugh

Do the math... maybe they should be looking for someone to spend the rest of HIS life with.

Hey! You stole my blog...

Some of my blogs are inspired about current events and other popular blogs at the time. One such blog I did years ago was inspired by another blog. It was posted by a woman saying that men who played with themselves excessively would lose sensation. Okay, I did some research and found a few links to support her topic. I also read normal sensation would return when the men discontinued such activity.

I knew this woman's style of blogging and I was certain the work wasn't hers. I believe the correct term is plagiarized.

Her blog was funny to me, but I knew the inverse was true for women.

Typing away... and not doing cut & paste I wrote a blog that inverted what she said. If she said something a man did, I found a way to describe the same activity using a woman as the example.

Blogs on that site allowed for (up to) 5 tags (topics or categories) and I correctly tagged my blog with: satire, parody, humor, joke

Unfortunately, 'she' didn't see the joke and neither did her two friends.
It's not uncommon for me to blog then go out for a while. I'll check back after a few hours to see if I had any comments.

Yeah, I did.
I was getting lots of kudos and comments from people 'who got it' along with threats that I plagiarized HER work. They told me I stole her blog and I was being reported to the moderator. They were serious about this...
laugh

What's strange is we had commented on each others blogs in the past. I guess that abruptly ended!

Okay, so I dismantled my blog and rewrote another blog titled "I stole your blog..." where I explained my side of the story. If you only heard their side it appears that I was the devil. Actually that was one of the comments from her. If it really was bad, I'm sure the moderator would have deleted it. The blog stayed up.

The response/support to my new blog was overwhelming as though people were actually waiting for something like this. One of the private messages I received had two links. One to a story on a commercial site and one to a blog posted by one of my accusers, someone I knew and had shared comments with.

I was told there were more she had plagiarized.

Huh? The blog was copied? The woman accusing me of taking someone's work had been doing this (stealing) all along...
I wanted to puke over these findings, and I was asked to be silent by the person sending me the links barf

Thanks for reading my blog!

Left-handed, Right-handed, Ambidextrous...

I plan to do a poll (this weekend) by the same name to see the response of which hand people favor. I'm guessing of the general public, left-handed are probably less than 10%

For the most part, I'm left-handed. Writing, playing guitar, brushing my teeth, cutting steak too all left-handed. Tennis and baseball... left-handed. Bow and arrow... I could only buy the cheap ambidextrous ones as the expensive models were only stocked right-handed.

Some musical instruments, woodwinds for example are only available right-handed. Many six hole Irish flutes and tin whistles can be played either way, but I learned right-handed.

My mother owned a shop for alterations (repairing garments) and dry cleaning. After school and when I didn't have music practice, I would work in her shop. All the sewing machines where industrial style. The knee control that raised the sewing foot and the drive wheel that went to the motor was on the right side.

She had a oversized ironing board with a large iron that got steam from a 'pressure cooker' with a long hose. It was impossible to use this setup any other way than right-handed. All of her scissors had perfect fit metal handles, so I had no choice but to use them right-handed. It's easy ironing now with a conventional iron... ambidextrous.
Razor knife... left-handed. House painting... left-handed, I have to force myself to paint with my right hand.

Telephone and cellphone, right-handed because rotary phones worked better right-handed.

Calculator and computer mouse... right hand and I consider this an advantage as I can write and 'mouse' at the same time and not have to put the pencil down.

Soda and sandwich... ambidextrous.


Blog Category: Self-Improvement, because the more things I can do with either hand, the less restrictions I have, especially with power tools.

drone rules...

Some people buy drones and don't know how to use them. Here are some rules:

Dating sites biggest complaints...

There are many dating site complaints, but of the 'top of the list' especially from women is men don't read profiles. Guys see someone attractive and immediately respond regardless what the women say in their introduction. Nearly the same subject would be men complaining about scammers. A guy could be 70, missing teeth on his photo and told (by a 25 year old) he's handsome.

My profile opening line gives a pretty clear warning and that doesn't stop me from getting messages coming from women half my age sending contact information.
Obviously, they didn't see or don't care that I'm married.

I speculate, these things are inherent in all dating sites...

In my beginning at CS I would read some, block some. More-so now I delete without reading. I offered a suggestion to have the ability to change the mark a message had been read so it appears unread. There is one site that lets the other person know if you deleted messages unread. I like that idea a lot. Let the other person know their message was deleted --- unread.

I did/do report the ones using stolen photos, hopefully they will be gone and not linger to annoy other members.

I said I would refrain from reading, writing or commenting on strongly opinionated and political blogs.
If scanning the blog header and first sentence is enough to make me shake my head, I move on. I've seen enough complaints about the high frequency of political blogs and the high frequency of defending your right on a free site to post whatever you want.
I've experienced sites that were heavily moderated and many blogs, comments and retaliation blogs disappeared in the night.

I'm always a guest here... that's how I see it. Blogging is a privilege and NOT a right. Too bad others don't see it that way. Free or not, you shouldn't be allowed to say what you want, when you want without repercussions. Need proof? Go Tweet some racial slurs and see where that gets you. I'm sure you can find private, by invitation or subscription blog sites that you can get away with 'anything goes' attitude...
Hmmm.. a topic for a different blog.

Some sites send messages when you break the rules, some close profiles. Hopefully I won't have any experience with that here. Many of my blogs are spontaneous. I read or hear things that inspire me to write. Often I jot down blog ideas on scraps of papers... sometimes unopened bills and when I get a past due notice, I realize 20+ blog ideas are scribbled on the the back of the envelope.

Blogs on CS move quickly. There is a lot of activity and a blog that I think would get little activity, gets several pages of comments and blogs that I think would do well... don't.

But that's nothing to complain about !!

Thanks for reading my blog...

chatillion's watermelon knife...

Summer is here and it's watermelon season. If you like watermelon but you have trouble cutting it into pieces, an way to easily do this is to try my curved watermelon knife.
I have 2 of them. One curved for left-handed and one curved for right-handed.

Quick Question...

Before heading to the office, I checked my corporate email yesterday morning and received a message from a client who was asking about receptacle outlets on a kitchen island.

(side note: I'm in the kitchen business)

Yes, they are required by local code. Although most customers don't want holes cut in their cabinetry, it's not my choice. If the electrician needs cutouts made, we do it as a service. Point where you want the holes cut and we make it. The liability is on the electrician and not the cabinet guy.

The husband wanted them on the back side where they are obscured by chairs. That's bending the rules... will it pass inspection? I don't know. Ask the electrician.

What I do know is, the message titled 'quick question' involved several back-and-forth emails and three phone calls. I'm not done... now I have to revise the drawing that we all reviewed last week.

More than an hour yesterday was spent dealing with my client's 'quick question'.

zits that come outta nowhere...

I came out of an appointment, got in my car and felt an itch on my earlobe. Scratching was the first instinct. Unfortunately, it was a pimple in the making. I'll be at my office in an hour or so. Hopefully the bleeding will stop by then.

New Car...

While it would be nice to purchase a new car, I'm not prepared to have payments for the next 4-5 years. My current car is 'growing old' quickly with all the miles I'm driving. Several coworkers have purchased pre-owned vehicles from 'off lease only' saving thousands on low mileage cars that are still under manufacturers warranty.
I believe the answer is really to keep the car and rent/sell my current house and rent/purchase something much closer to my job.

Little by little, we've been in renovation mode fixing things around the house getting it ready to carry out a plan. I'm teetering about saving money (for a purchase) or spending money in renovation that could increase the current value.

It's summer and rent prices are lowest right now. If I wait too long apartments in the area near my office will jump up as much as 50%

Soon, but not now.

Living a simple lifestyle and 2 hours less on the road 'driving to and from' means 2 hours more to enjoy life.
