The End Is Near...

As a kid, I remember people holding signs on the street corners that read Repent - The end Is Near. It's 60 years later and I see less of those signs. Well, except for internet. You see those signs often. It's easier to make an internet post than standing on a street corner holding a sign for hours.

I grew up ignoring different signs and sometimes, partly because of my upbringing.
When my mother told my dad to fill-up on gas, his reply was "It's on E and E means enough!"

There is one 'near the end' thing I cannot ignore and we all have to poop. The worst part is the paperwork at the end... something you cannot avoid. I don't know about you... but it's mandatory for me. So, when I see the end is near, I reach around to the linen cabinet and pull out another roll. Right now, there are 2 left... just in time for weekend shopping as you never want to get caught short after 'the end is near' goes into the danger zone!

Uilleann Pipes...

Points if you know anything about them.
Double points if you know how to pronounce them.
Triple points if you can name people associated with them.

Thanks for reading my blog...

No points if you have to Google this.

Schmokin Hot...

Years ago, I came across a dating site that had video chat rooms.
I think the way the interface worked was someone would open a room and they would be the operator of the room. We could see the operator but not the other people in the room. I'm guessing only the operator had windows for all the people in the room. However, everyone in the room shared the same text board, so we could see what everyone was saying (with exception to the private chats) to the operator and other members.

Typically, it was pretty young women running the chat rooms and (naturally) their audience was guys. The operator had the ability to boot people if they said something annoying.

One woman in her 40's often ran a video chat. No one believed her age or her looks. She had a rock solid body and cleavage that could raise the dead! I recall her wearing spaghetti strap tank tops and loving every minute of it and not shy either. She did ask the audience if they thought she was hot and one reply came back "Darlin' you're schmokin"


laugh

I often use that phrase and slur the word smoking the same way it's spelled. Schmokin!

Doing crazy things as a child...

I'm saying I had a normal childhood. Well, except for the time I caught my mothers rocking chair on fire! We were living in New York at the time so I must have been 4 or 5 years old.
Both of my parents were smokers and I'm guessing the ash tray, matches and cigarettes were on the lamp table (yes, lamp table - one piece of furniture) next to the rocking chair.
I'm not sure if my grandfather used a garden hose to put the fire out or a bucket of water from the kitchen. Furniture back then was often stuffed with straw.
After a few hundred house fires, someone decided it was a bad idea to stuff chairs with straw.

Hey... what do I know about these things.
It could have been worse !!

English only interface...

Most of the meeting websites I'm a member of have an English only interfaces.
If you type in any other language, the outcome is a garbled bunch of question marks.

I just tested CS by sending mail to myself with a few words in Japanese, Chinese, Thai, Arabic, Hebrew and Greek. Nothing was readable.

For curiosity, (at a later date) I'll try some special characters found in Spanish, Danish or German at another time to see if they pass or fail.

I'm impressed with the global representation this website offers and noticed lots of members from Indonesia, Romania, Cambodia, Lithuania, Switzerland, South Korea for example. That said, all of them must communicate in English.

A few sites running chat rooms can support different languages and I believe it's because the company offering the service is not directly connected to the website who uses them.

I'm thinking there must be more, but currently Asia Friend Finder is the only one I know of to support other languages. With the help of a language translator I've read lots of blogs in Chinese and Japanese. I cannot recall if Thai, Vietnamese or Korean are supported. That's the subject of a future blog.


If a woman in Thailand sees a man in her country, she must communicate with him in English. Something to think about.

Selfie Stick...

The selfie stick is a telescopic cellphone (or camera) holder that has a triggering button on the handle. Most are actuated remotely by Bluetooth but some older models have electro-mechanical triggers.

The purpose of a selfie stick is to inflict pain on others... kidding!

Actually, the purpose of the selfie stick it to hold the camera (cellphone in camera mode) at a distance far greater than the reach of the person taking the photos/videos. Often, it's around three feet when fully retracted and gives the user enough distance to show a sizeable background with the operator focused in the foreground. This also is good for group shots of four.

Some selfie sticks offer a tripod base so you don't have to hold the camera allowing you time to setup your shot and not do everything spontaneously.

The drawback to selfie sticks is many places (especially tourist attractions) ban their use simply because they are... correction, the people using them in public are annoying to those around them.

Ninety Nine...

I was running errands today and the outside temperature (reported on my dash thermometer) read 99 degrees... in the sunshine, yeah... that rhymes.
99 in the sunshine.

My mind wanders to other instances of 99 and the song to keep you awake when driving is 99 bottles of beer on the wall. I don't drink beer.
sleep

I can think of another 99 and that was actress Barbara Feldon who played Agent 99 from the 1960's sitcom GET SMART.

I always thought that in the right light she was beautiful. The trouble with that was finding the right light.

The rock band TOTO did a song titled 99. I always thought it was about Barbara but some trivia page said it was a tribute to the George Lucas film THX 1138.

The 27 club...

Also known as the forever 27 club, being 27 years old was a fatal age for many musicians.
Here's the short list of some famous musicians who never made it past 27:

Robert Johnson, musician, died at the age of 27.
Brian Jones, musician (Rolling Stones), died at the age of 27.
Jimi Hendrix, musician, died at the age of 27.
Janis Joplin, singer, died at the age of 27.
Jim Morrison, singer (Doors), died at the age of 27.
Kurt Cobain, musician (Nirvana), died at the age of 27.
Amy Winehouse, singer, died at the age of 27.
Alan Wilson, singer (Canned Heat), died at the age of 27.

There are many more famous (and not so famous) musicians who have died at the age of 27... coincidence?

Extended Family...

I divorced my first wife around 1990 and we've remained friends all these years.
The marriage wasn't right for, us but her judgement and advice on other issues is extremely accurate. She's usually the first person I call to bounce off an idea to need a second opinion.
I have a step-daughter who is at the top of the list for support.
For both of them, being there for help goes both ways.
Neither of them meddle, but are there for me and should I get a call, I'm ready to help them.

I know most people I'm in contact with are always in a state of friction with their exes. Knowing them and their former mates personalities, I'm surprised they actually married. Well.. I shouldn't be so surprised as s*xual relationships are like library books and have to be returned when the time is up.

For the present, my wife and I have been invited to many extended family parties. They have accepted her and she has accepted them and that's a good thing.


Thanks for reading my blog!
(I thought I had a typo but it's word filtering - you cannot say se*ual on a website for adults)

Maybe you have a wait problem...

I know I do. Sometimes, heating food in a microwave oven is just too slow. Really. I consistently need things to happen faster. Life is getting that way. Next day air isn't fast enough for my lifestyle anymore. I've gotta have it now.

No, tomorrow is too late. Workers are standing around and I need that hardware NOW !!

Yes, it annoys me when I order pizza and I have to wait 25 minutes for the thing... why aren't they taking it out of the oven when I hang up the phone? They're making pizza all day long... can't they go any faster?

I was talking with a General Contractor and he told me he was sending e-mail while we were on the call... "I just sent you an e-mail, did you receive it?" he said... No... and it was more than a minute to arrive from across town. How frickin' annoying is that?? E-mail should be instantaneous.

This isn't a rant, it's just my assessment of how fast things need to move in life today. My boss asked why I was late to work this morning. "Did you wake up at 7:30?" he said. I answered "No, I was up at 6 o'clock" "So why are you late today?" he asked and I replied "I had to make a poop"

Thanks for reading my blog!

And on the seventh day... he blogged.

My introduction: Listed on several sites, I'm not new to forums or blogging. All sites combined, in the last 20 years, I've probably posted more than 4,000 blogs and 6,000 forum posts on many topics including humor, current events, music, science and technology.

How did I find ConnectingSingles? By invitation...
My cellphone beeped with a text message that my name came up in conversation, so I was summoned with the URL to appear here. I forgot to bring doughnuts this morning, please forgive me!

When I'm not blogging or posting on/in the forums, I'm reporting fraudulent profiles...
You know, the ones with photos of famous movie or Instagram fitness stars who have millions of followers or adult movie actresses who have hundreds of photos on the internet. I've been doing this for years... it's a well developed hobby of mine and though I don't have photographic memory, I do remember photos I've seen before, so... I guess you can say, I have pornographic memory.
laugh

Seriously, scammers are more than annoying and can be found everywhere including LinkedIn, Google, college alumni and many corporate sites. Since I joined CS, I'm averaging around 3 per day. The only problem I see is the profiles I've reported for fraud haven't been deactivated. That could be the subject of another blog!

So 'hey' to those who already know me and 'hi' to those who don't!

On this date in 1969...

On July 20th, 1969 two American Astronauts, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the Apollo 11 Mission, landed on the moon.

I remember watching TV at the home of Billy and Bobby Robbins (singer and bassist for the rock band Fantasy) while their drummer Greg stated "Wouldn't it be funny is the moon were really made of cheese?" Maybe Greg had been smoking something.

This was a time long before the digital age and much of the equipment used by NASA was analog. I remember someone saying many of the calculations used on this flight were done by slide rulers...

Are you kidding me?

Some say it was a hoax and that America was in a cold war with Russia so the entire mission was staged. Possible?
