While the right is watching Hunter, it appears they turned a bling eye to Jared. I said it a while ago, he's soon to be next in investigations. Chris Christie has said it publicly Jared and Ivanka earned millions while in the White House.
Jared popped up again in the news and the reader comments get the trophy.

"Aren't there legalities to Jared accepting this money while representing the United States during Donald's term? Isn't this what Republicans are trying to indict Hunter for taking foreign money while his dad was VP? The difference is that Hunter was a private citizen and not employed by the government while Jared was a top adviser using his office for clout. Just like Ivanka getting 14 patents while being a top adviser."

"Where is the Republican inquire into this? Why the Hypocrisy, unlike Hunter BIde, Jared was a former WH employee of the Trump Administration. Where is the outrage?"

"The House will get right on an investigation after they are done investigating the temp. of Hunters bath water."

"So the Right wants to concentrate on Biden but nobody wants to talk about how a guy with zero political experience walks away a billionaire, don't get me started on his daughter!"

My dad’s girlfriend is history. On Sunday, while my sister took her on a tour through the garden, I happened to find myself in the bedroom where she left her handbag. This was by sheer coincidence. She had been very careless. Her handbag was open and her ID book had slipped out.

I used my phone to take a snap of the contents. To prevent people from snooping in her bag, I put her ID book back in the bag and closed it. Now, was that not very thoughtful of me?

With her ID details in our possession, we learned that she was using her middle name. Not too out of the ordinary, but we also learned that she used a different surname. That was suspicious enough. Well, so we thought.

No sooner were they gone before we climbed on Internet. My sister logged on to the credit bureau with her employer’s password. She got permission to do it – providing we pay the normal fee. A credit check revealed that the strange surname that she used was her maiden name. We still had nothing on her. And then we hit the dirt under the section on spouse details. Spouse details? Yep, there was a husband.

My sister called the husband, pretending to be a friend, asking to talk to his wife. He said that she’s visiting her mother and should be home in about an hour or so. When asked where the mother was, the answer came as no real surprise. She was in the same retirement village as my father. Bingo!

We decided to pay my father a surprise visit, hoping that she would still be there. Alas, she had left, but when we presented my father with the evidence, he admitted to ‘helping’ her few times with her car installments. He said that she promised him that she will pay him back. Like hell she would. Well, she is going to do it now. I’ll see to it. My father was wise enough to make electronic payments directly into her banking account.

Anyway, not too much damage done and my dad is fine; only a bit pissed off with himself. If anything, this episode just brought the three of us closer – if that was possible at all. For the first time ever, he discussed his will and his financial position with us. No nasty surprises there.

I took him to the airport last night. He’s going to visit an old friend in Gauteng. No, he won’t be asking her to marry him, but I suppose hoping can do no harm.

I can understand why most of you thought that I’m meddling in my father’s private affairs. I would probably have said the same if it was not my father. It is easy to talk when the problem is not close to home but I’m sure that if it was your father, you would have acted the same as we did. Blood is thicker than water.


Sit tight! Tomorrow is Friday!

Now who said long distance relationships does not work? I lost my heart to somebody in another country on the other side of the world and I will still have to wait another six weeks before seeing her. Why is Oz so bloody far from here?

It grieves me to think that she will only be here in SA for 4 weeks before returning to Australia. She is still very attached to her mother and I will have to work on that. I don’t know why she wants to drag her mother along on the trip. Mind you, I would like to see her mother as well… as long as she does not interfere too much when we want to spend time together.

The latest photos from Aussie Land have me pacing up and down in my room and at times, I want to crawl up the wall from pure frustration. All I ever think of is she. Can a man of my age be so in love?

I try to control the feeling and think of other things but time after time I catch myself thinking of her again. It is a good thing photos don’t wear out when you look at them for too long because all I do all day is to stare at her pics.

And the uncertainty is driving me mad. What if she does not like me when she sees me for first time? Will she like me as much as I like her?

I guess only time will tell and I will count the days until I finally can get to meet the new love in my life.


Now have a wonderful day and don’t go falling in love with strangers.

The sexiest and hunkiest man for me has turned 52 years old today.

I have so many good wishes for him...good health and happiness among others.

He's in Scotland at the moment, spending his birthday with his very lovely mother . Woke me up with a nice phone call yesterday and sent me lots of beautiful photos. The most special one is a very nice photo of his mother he took when they had lunch earlier. She looks very young for her age, 89 years old...in a year or two he will surely look older than her, unlike him she doesn't have any grey hairs

For my jerk, Love each day!

Doing the weekly shopping isn’t one of my favourite things but, luckily, I can make it more bearable by combining it with my hobby of people watching. One conclusion I have reached through my observations is that couples should probably stop going shopping together some time in their early thirties. Young couples usually seem quite cheerful as they wend their way round the store together, but by the time they get to middle age and beyond, they seem to become progressively more miserable. A lot of the couples I see in my age group seem to make the journey from trolly park to till in a cloud of simmering mutual antipathy; with the odd impatient rebuke managing to break the surface every now and then. Quite often just as I am passing. This leaves me with a mixed feeling of amusement and sympathy, not to mention relief when I remember that that used to be me.

in life not everything can be achieved,but keep fighting for a beautiful goal

What good a friend are you for if in the direst of needs you aren't there?

Can you share what your beliefs are on friendship? Or better yet, who are your friends?

Here is my story. I have only three friends, I mean real good friends. One is going on for the last 45 years, met her in College. Still going on very strong. She lives in another State but we see each other at least twice a year. Call each other every now and then.

The other is 40 years, met her right after I landed my first job as a University professor. She lives in Switzerland and see each other once every two years. She comes here in the US while I go to Europe alternately. She is rich and just travels but very accommodating. (she introduced me here at CS, she writes poetry and almost forced me to be a member here, long story) Anyways, the third one is about 15 years now. All I can say is that these friends are ready to offer their lives if it is needed. At least that is how I feel and do the same on my part if I am needed.

I can't see nor feel the comepleteness of life without them friends.

Share your expectations and experiences with friends if you want to. Otherwise thanks for reading this blog.

I will be away for a while but will get back later.

Question: Are you there when your friends need you?

To me, go well has such a beautiful meaning. It says, be careful where you go, don’t get hurt, please don’t let others walk all over you. Walk tall. It’s also a gentle message that says , I care. When you go I will see you again, it doesn’t sound as final as goodbye. It also says you have a friend in me. You are in my heart, thoughts and prayers. Always. Without you life will be dull. You have a special place in my heart and life. May your first step in 2015 be fearless. May the rest of the new year be filled with beautiful colours.

So... go well!
