RE: Is Europe going to War soon?

Getting ready for War?
The War has not stopped since 1914.
Wake the f*ck up.

The dyslexic bookkeeper...

I saw a sign on a truck this morning:
4 out of 3 people don't know how to work with fractions

YULIYA NAVALNAY'S PROTEST.

People voting in towns and villages, particularly in once held Ukraine areas are visited by electoral official and Russian soldier, so if you select the wrong option, it's a bleak outlook for you.

YULIYA NAVALNAY'S PROTEST.

Leonid Volkov, ally of Navalnay, attacked outside his home in Lithuania. Tear gas and a hammer were used. He was struck repeatedly but still survived. I wonder who was responsible? Could it be one of Putin's gangsters?

RE: Happy Birthday to ...............lindsyjones

Some sort of collective hypnotic trance? Groups are scary

RE: Is Europe going to War soon?

Galrads answer me this: is there a small chance that people like Donald Tusk,
Jens Stoltenberg and Ursula von der Leyen actually believe that we have to arm up now
cos Putin is 'so dangerous'?
I know it's bullcrap.
Do they know it too or are they actually believing their own propaganda here?

RE: Is Europe going to War soon?

I'm just disappointed.
First the reaction to putins invasion (guess we can call it that) was immature.
Then was sat the propaganda machine in motion.
I never saw it tghis clearly before. Plenty of straight up lies and twisting, they still do.
The latest is to pretend Russia is a worse threath than ever before.
Truth is they are more like us than ever before thanks to internet and its bridge building abilities.
WE provoked this. Putins reaction was a 100% natural.

Do they (Eropean politicians including Natos Jens) think we can not think
and is like easy manipulated children here...?...
ehmm don't answer that

False accusations...

Already half-way into the kitchen renovation that was started I think around last Thanksgiving.

The hard part was done.
None of these units had tile into the back wall. They cheat and only go to the toe kick.
We pulled out the old cabinets and my partner filled the void with cement so the new cabinets (and stove) sit on a level floor. New base cabinets, granite countertop, sink and disposal.
We only disagree where she wants to save money and keep the old upper cabinets by painting the existing doors.
Different door style and 30" high. I'll surprise her with 42" high matching uppers, color and door style. Also, the layout will be tweaked for better storage.

I want to finish the project so I can show the kitchen and get a few remodeling jobs from it.

Soon...


As far as CS not being a healthy place... it's been like that for a long time.
Fact and not a complaint. I'll post what interests me and stay away from the toxic bloggers.

False accusations...

I shouldn't have to justify my actions but you are claiming dates like it's important.

When did I say 3 years... recently? Was it a typo?
We just discussed dates and the condo was bought in December 2018.
You do the math...
Renovation started right away and stopped when I ran out of funds, which was early 2019. We commuted day, night and weekends doing much of the work ourselves.
We switched gears to fix up the Miami house and it was sold in the first quarter of 2019 so we had no option but to move in. My Miami neighbor was kind enough to allow me to store a dozen plastic bins of 'stuff' until we made room in the patio.

Contrary to your suspicion, we are together lots of hours, sleep in the same bed, share the same space doing different hobbies. Nearly all my meals are prepared by her, with the exception of pizza, I'm eating healthy and my latest blood work shows that.
She wishes I would retire, loves that I'm getting back to music and supports my model aircraft hobby. We travel together, eat together, have life together. Nearly every decision is made together.

I sent ONE compliment... ONE to a fellow blogger who was in need of updating her photos and bleu struck an uncalled for first blow. Actually not the first, but the latest of many.

I enjoy writing. It keeps my mind focused. The fact that I can document things from trivial to significant in blogs is my thing. Listening to someones perspective different than mine.
Music for example... I haven't heard 80% maybe 90% of the videos posted on CS.

I talk to her about all the goings-on here including the personalities.
We talk politics, but her understanding of American government is limited. She gets her news in Chinese and often hears things before I do.

One day, I'll decide to wean off of CS. One day.
Life is good. So far, this year, I sold more than I did all of last year and a friend asked if I'm available to take on some projects for his company. Possible.
My cousin really wants to get the trio going. It won't be financially rewarding, at least not in the beginning. Rehearsals and learning songs does take some time.

Is Europe going to War soon?

Never mind. I asked my family Italy what this is all about.
They replied, "I think that the Anglo-Americans paint the countries that lost the war into adopting a policy of strong rearmament, which, even if war does not take place, will benefit the American economy.
As always the arms industry must invoice."

False accusations...

Actually, I need to respond because you're making a false accusation.

Who said $38,000 ?
When I started shopping for a house 6 years ago in the Boca, Delray, Boynton areas, I couldn't afford a house in this area. The cheapest I found was around $375,000.
Townhouses were in the neighborhood of $250,000.

My only choice was to shop retirement condo communities and there are several here in-between some really pricey neighborhoods. At the time, the average condo was $65,000.
I waited a year and was lucky to get one the week it was listed at $72,000.

The vice-president of my association moved here 20 years ago and told me he paid over $116,000 then. I don't have all the facts, but there was a crash and prices dropped dramatically. He was one of the ones who were forced to stay or lose out financially. Some of the neighbors remember values under $20,000.
My neighbor who was in his late 80's told me his brother owned my unit and only came for holidays. I believe after the crash, many people bought several units and rented them out. I did a kitchen renovation for one guy who owned 4 of them.

All of Florida has been impacted by COVID. I've been checking condo prices recently and units in this development are in excess of $170,000. as is. The ones who renovated are asking much more.
My place is more than double... If I sell, where am I going to go?

This place has survived many hurricanes and I've got the original windows... most of the residents do. We are grandfathered in. So far, they haven't forced us to upgrade. The plastic strips holding the glass has dried and cracked. Some residents have shutters or impact windows, often that are seasonal and have no means to board up. I'm not planning to spend $20,000 for window upgrades.
The association had a great idea to replace a plastic strips on the first floor only... BS, I'm on the 2nd floor. It is what it is.

A friend of mine less than 2 miles away lives in a Misner community and in 6 years the value of his place has tripled. We talked about it at 1.75 million now. His HOA is in the $400/month range. Mine is now $694/month.

If I really retire, it would consider a few hours north in a small house without an association.

Nothing personal...

False accusations...

Thanks for your comment.
This blog is about someone stalking me and making false comments in suspicion that I reported another member and had his profile closed.




As far as the amount of political blogs... a year ago there were lots of members contributing from both sides with more activity/comments for each. I've decreased my blog output. With the exception of sdarlagg posting a few political blogs each day, there has been a drop in overall blog activity political or not.

Amazing to note, my stalker blogged that 2 days went by where no one blogged.
Sounds like a no-win situation. Complain if you don't blog, complain if you do.
Actually, thanks for commenting on my chronic complainers blog!

Hints from you, they weren't... it was getting personal you said you would no longer comment on any of my blogs. There may have been personal issues that made you get frustrated with me. Sorry... hopefully, it's over now.
I don't recall arguing with other members on my blogs. They are entitled to voice their opinions. Many bear no true facts. Look around... from arguments are the ones who go to jail or get ejected. I don't consider stating facts or posting videos of newscasts, interviews or public statements made by political figures to be stirring the pot.

Again, thanks for your comment.


Membership on dating sites always has an ebb and flow. Overall activity is down right now with less new members. Someone said less activity was because CS introduced a method of upgrade. It's still a free site and while the upgrade message is on the opening page, I believe it doesn't detract from new membership.

I noticed new membership and activity on another has dropped to an all-time low. A year ago, there were several hundred online, especially nights and weekends, now it's less than 50.
Seasonal? It could be.

False accusations...

Oxy, I would like to think the rules here are even across the board with no favoritism for members who are liked more than others.

Unless someone is here naive enough to use their real name, it's a handle, like CBers.
Hey Big Daddy... you really screwed the goose this time!

Defamation of character to a 'handle' profile name would carry zero weight.


"The whole world can see these forums, it’s not private."

True in the past. They made site changes this year and people who aren't logged in have limited viewing ability.

False accusations...

Who me? (say that fast and it sounds like the local sushi chef)
The person wasn't mentioned and maybe logic will come to play and he will find another hobby.

False accusations...

No... that's not in me to report another member who is stalking me.
I'd get an unfair reputation. I'm trying to stay neutral.

Already he's the sheriff/best blogger/critic/blog monitor reads my blogs.
Sadly, he is unable to control his hate for me, but he's really not stupid and since his comments lash out only a few times a month, he's under the radar of administration.

Would the site moderator delete his profile? Doubtful.

False accusations...

True, so speaking the truth about my stalker would keep the gossip mill going outside of CS.

Thanks for the comment!

False accusations...

Inquiring minds want to know. jac answered a few questions.
If a person gets ejected, for whatever reason, there isn't notification to the other members.

Some have returned with new profiles and life goes on...
