The passing of Guitarist Jeff Beck took us by surprise, yet others who lived a life of drugs and alcohol are still with us. Taylor Hawkins of the Foo Fighters slipped away at the age of 50. Certainly the Rolling Stone guitarist Keith Richards at 79 looks like he's been embalmed years ago. Ozzy Osbourne had a few health issues... keep an eye on him.
Last week I was watching a few videos of The Traveling Wilburys, Harrison is gone, Roy Orbison is gone, Tom Petty is gone, Jeff Lynne is pretty healthy, but Bob Dylan at 81 years old could go at any moment.
David Crosby who wasted years of his life addicted to drugs, passed away in January at the age of 81.
I still think of Keith Emerson and Greg Lake... Carl Palmer is still alive and well.
Only their music lives forever...
After 22 years of marriage and 4 children, George and Kellyanne Conway have decided to call it quits. Both republicans, have different political views. He talks straight and she's in an alternate universe.
Many are surprised it's lasted this long...
I'm sure we'll still see them in the news, just not together.
A decade ago, Miami based fitness model Angeline (Angie) Varona became an instant celebrity when her sexy photos were hacked and distributed across the internet. Not long after, she got some implants that were natural looking, something amazing for a skinny girl as not all implants are equal and some women have what appears to be oranges under their skin, or a visible hard line at the end of the implant.
Anyway, stolen Varona photos were appearing everywhere like fake Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, TikTok and dozens of bogus profiles on dating sites. Her real Instagram account has more than 3 million followers.
Because she has a few thousand photos online, Angie was in the top 5 models used by scammers. Today, another scammer came online using a Varona photo that I didn't recognize 'straightaway' because her breasts were huge... I though it was model Natasha Nice who is also in the top list of photos that scammers use. Looking closer, I found that photo of Angie is on several sites along with other images of her huge bazooms. I know she graduated college a short time ago and now I see she had a child with her boyfriend. So lots of updates in her life but the older photos are becoming a haunting at this point.
I learn new things everyday and surprised to see her implants must have grown larger as a result of her pregnancy.

I left out speeding and attempting to run away. Several motorcyclists in Florida were driving recklessly Friday night when police told them to pull over. One guy didn't quite make the getaway...
Captured on body-cam.
Maybe a broken bone or two... the guy is lucky to be alive.

Sockpuppets aka Socks, are additional profiles created by the same person. They could be deceptively used to increase views and comments to a blog (or forum thread) by adding agreeable comments or sometimes 'off the wall controversy' where other members join in to defend the OP. Either way, the blog receives much more activity than one without the sock making comments.
Trolls are typically members offering only negative or off topic comments for the sheer purpose of disrupting the OP and their blog. You easily can find trolls on political blogs when the topic doesn't agree with their political position.
There may be a crossover with socks and trolls, but I'll simplify it as the difference in a cold or the flu. You could actually experience both at the same time.
Thanks for reading my blog!
Medical research has confirmed that dating site members with multiple profiles often do this due to a traumatic experience in their childhood. Be it missing the bus and having to walk 5 miles to get to school or something more serious, like having your mother force you to lean over the casket and kiss your dead grandmother.
Medically, it's called Multiple Personality Disorder or MPD.
Whatever the case, they are known to resort to outlandish tactics to gain confidence with the other members, often by picking on one or more members in an attempt to bully or discredit them. However false, this does give them an authoritative sense of security and that odd personality feels they have accomplished something... enough where the more dominant personality comes back out again and they seemingly appear normal.
If you should know someone who suffers with MPD, please contact your nearest mental health clinic as they have trained professionals who are available to help.
There are several different treatments multiple personality disorders that may include talk therapy (psychotherapy) and more importantly medication. Although treating dissociative disorders can be difficult, many people learn new ways of coping and lead healthy, productive lives. The option to rejecting treatment could lead to things more serious like entering into multiple romantic relationships that hurt the other parties concerned.
Last week, a Florida student attacked his teacher over a confiscated Nintendo Switch. He's 6 feet 6 inches tall and weighs 270 pounds and became upset because the teacher took his game console away from him during class.
Pushing the woman to the ground with such force she landed several feet from him and was unconscious. He stomped her and began punching her repeatedly where it took several people to pull him away from the woman.
The 17 year old 'boy' was arrested and is now facing felony assault charges.
I suggest you avoid watching the video if you are adversely affected by watching violence.

My asthma is like the tides in the ocean... high on some days and low on others. Normally, I'll go with only a puff or two of Albuterol (rescue) inhaler. If I'm around someone with really strong perfume, I'll need another 'hit' to keep things rolling.
A few months ago I had a tough time after getting into a rental car. It was sprayed and prepped minutes earlier. I had to wait for the car as nothing else (to my liking) was available. The chemicals they use are toxic and within a few days my asthma medicine wasn't working. I was coughing up green chunks and went to the doctor because it turned into a respiratory infection.
I know, TMI, but every morning when I got up and showered, it would loosen 'stuff' in my lungs and I would go through a coughing session. This happened a few times a day, especially when exercising in my morning walks.
I use lots of paper cups and after a drink, I'll keep the empty cup... just in case and it's often used as a spittoon.
Ya gotta do what you've gotta do...
I see that cuspidor is the Portuguese word for spittoon. May be I'll use that as it has a nicer sound...

I had dinner at a sports bar tonight with TV screens wrapping around the building. Several satellite stations were in the lineup and when they went to commercial break, the viewer was pounded mostly with Pizza, battery operated ear washer and electric SUV's.
Lexus has a whole fleet as well as Cadillac.
Back home and I Googled electric SUV's and found a few companies I've never heard of before (like Fisker) and all the major manufacturers offering at least one electric model.
Complain all you want about purchase price, finding a place to charge, exploding batteries, limited range and a few other negatives
Domino's Pizza is advertising electric delivery vehicles that are good for the planet. Who cares? That doesn't fix the taste of crappy pizza... having it delivered in an electric car doesn't make it better!
Like it or not, with all the negative aspects, electric cars are here to stay.
I sidestepped the blogs here about a train derailment in Ohio and it appears those blogs disappeared in the night. But, there are news stories daily about this and here's what I found so far... 44 had instituted safety regulations and 45 rolled back regulations. While the National Transportation Safety Board is examining the causes/reasons for the derailment, fingers are being pointed in different directions.
This issue has become political and Republicans are blaming the 46th administration for not showing up and 44 has become their hero as he shows up for the publicity stunt/photo opp with bottles of water branded with his name. Other than rallying the troops for reelection, I'm unsure what power or authority he actually has as an ex-president, if any to help the people of Ohio.
Lots of links about this:
As usual, the reader comments tell some important opinions about the situation:
speakeasy said:
"Trump was and is part of the problem and now he wants to throw the blame on Biden. He received 70 percent of those peoples vote, now this is part of what happens when you go all out on deregulations with no safeguards. Now they are crying."“Buttigieg should’ve been here already,” Trump told reporters as he handed out MAGA hats after speaking alongside Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) and Rep. Bill Johnson (R-Ohio). Trump also said Biden should “get over here.”45 has been super busy this week calling out anyone who doesn't support him. He's feuding with Fox News for their support of Ron DeSantis, who actually hasn't announced a run for the 2024 presidential election. But that's tied into their realization his claims of fraud in the 2020 election are unfounded.
In other news, The Georgia Grand Jury have released their findings to the 2020 election and possible and indictments may be forthcoming.
I read the news the other day about a woman who lost her life by an alligator near her house in Fort Pierce, Florida. Photos were posted of the Florida Wildlife Commission taking the creature away.
The followup story shows surveillance video of the event. Well, most of it.
She was walking her dog along the sloped edge to a pond when the alligator came directly toward them. The dog was on a leash behind the woman. When the gator went for the dog, he ran forward putting the alligator at the feet of the woman.
A neighbor was an eyewitness and called 911 stating the alligator had already submerged the woman into the water.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said in a statement. "Serious injuries caused by alligators are rare in Florida."...and chatillion who lives in Florida said "I know BS when I read it. Because, incidents with alligators happen a few times a year"
Story link:
The story mentions the alligator was killed and the dog survived.
When I started working in Boca Raton, my coworkers would frequent a Chinese restaurant named Hunan Palace. Through the years it must have been owned by different people but, it was a mainstay as the winter months had people standing outside waiting to get a seat.
Dingy, crowded, booths, a menu with numbers to order by. Lunch for $6 and a dollar more if you made substitutions.
COVID hit and the business suffered. As people started going back, the place was totally renovated. The huge aquarium in the middle was gone and the booths were taken out and replaced with tables. The floor was changed to ceramic tiles.
It must be hard keeping a good chef as the food was great one month and not-so-great the next. The one good thing about Chinese restaurants is they're never closed on American Holidays. Thanksgiving and Christmas were their 2 best days.
I haven't gone to eat there in more than I can remember and a friend complained to the owner about the variances in quality. That must have been happening too often and the name removed from the front of the place indicated a kiss of death.
Driving by last night, I see a banner across the old signage for a new business of buffet style Indian Cuisine. It's been a while for me to have food in Indian style, so I'll have to pay my respects to the late Mr. Chen and see new foods are being cooked in my neighborhood.
