About 500 years ago horses came to North America and changed the life of the Indians. Spanish horses came first and the word "mustang" goes back to spanish "mestengo", something like a vagabond. An old early mustang breed is the "Sulphur", which still may be found under the 30.000 wild horses in the west today.
American races with english and other blood emerged later like the American quarter horse and the Appaloosa of the Nez Perce Indians.
In Oregon nowadays an annual meeting is held, called the Indian Princess Pendleton Round-up. See picture. No wonder the US cavalry slaughtered these horses and Indians, because they were jealous about their beauty.

Too much steroids in your system, this former baseball player from Miami blew up one of his fingers cleaning a loaded gun. Now he's looking to put on ebay pistol and finger to sell. What a moron, cleaning a loaded gun, or he said...Steroids/No more brain

Something weird is happening. I thought it was just me and maybe I did something, but I googled it and other folks are experiencing it too.

I logged on to Facebook and right away I noticed news comments from folks I had never heard of in my Newsfeed. My account is not public, it is only accessible to real friends and I limit it to friends and I intentionally keep the number about the same as my fingers and toes.

So I checked my Friends page and there sat new folk not even in the US. A quick perusal of their accounts confirmed they have no friends known to me. They were quickly unfriended of course. During this process I learned they had allegedly responded to requests I had supposedly sent them. The interesting thing is I wasn't even near my computer at the time the requests had supposedly been sent by me.

I used an AlphaNumeric string (with shifted chars too) so I doubt my FB account was hacked.

Googling the problem I see to my horror this is a widely spread problem and scores of folk are reporting (and asking how) strangers accepting friend requests that were never sent and thereby accessing the Facebook Page regardless of the Privacy settings.

LoL, my case is mild as it only happened on the one day (so far), but some are reporting new Friend requests of unknown destination appear to be being sent every single time they log into Facebook, so every day new strangers accept Friend requests which were never sent.

There seem to be several causes ranging from something called Tokens automatically imported without you noticing them if you like certain pages, to Malware of an unknown type. Those accessing by cell phone advise that clicking on a photo of a user can also send a friend request. I say malware because one person about an hour ago has just reported on the FB Help page one of their online virus scans detected a malware and when it was removed, the sending of friend requests seems to have stopped. Unfortunately they haven't yet advised what virus scan they used, and as we all know, they all differ in what they can find. Another cause is Facebook in the early days set up a system where you can have a friend and give them remote access to your settings. If that person grants a friend request that new friend can use your friends privileges to send FB friend requests in your name. Ouch. No I never gave anyone remote sysop access to my settings page, so that isn't my problem. Sometimes if you synch your page to someone else's (such as your kids), FB automatically sends out Friend requests to all of their Friends. Investigation continues.

My advice to all is be a little paranoid about who is in your friends page by checking it now and then for unknowns and delete folks you don't know. Check your privacy settings and any token privileges you may have accidentally granted. Do not store information needed for identity theft in Facebook. Yeah, that's a problem. FB has your name and your phone and often your address. Hide that if you can.

This link allows you to manage the invites you may have sent without knowing you did so by importing contacts (or liking a page with tokens on it).

I am on the most part a law abiding citizen. I am not ashamed to admit I am a Christian. As a matter of fact very proud to admit that with the highest of regards. I have seen post on here with point of view on different subject. So I ask what would you do?.... If you seen a homeless person who is digging through a dumpster looking for food? Would you run and get this person something to eat and bring it back to him/her as quickly as possible? Would you pick up your cell phone and call the police or run inside to turn the person in to the restaurant manager? If you clearly saw a disabled man/woman or child near starvation? What if the law tells you, you cant feed them? Would you feed them any way? Or would you turn a blind eye and go about your business? The reason I am asking this is because for the past few days My blood boils. In the United States there are over 30 townships who have passed ordinances that make it unlawful to feed the homeless in public! Fort Lauderdale for one. They arrested a elderly man who works with two priest to feed homeless as the see him. After the passing of this ordinance the three were warned not to feed the homeless as it encourages them to be homeless! The following day, they were back at it. They were told to drop the plates! When they did not comply, They arrested the old man (priest I do not know) and fined them $500.00. I am so angry over this! When I heard this I had to look it up myself in disbelief and most every newspaper covered this story, but the main stream media have not! Almost daily you hear about how the homeless are distracting the business districts with their presence in the area. These ordinances require a homeless to only eat from a shelter! Shelters can not sustain the amount of homeless and folks are turned away by the hundreds. So for Americans if it were a Vet? Would you deny him food in public? He fought for your freedom and rights? Regardless, we send food to countries who are starving for what ever reason, and it is call humanitarian aide. We do not require these other countries to be distributed in a control environment. Most are on the streets! How can a country/township be so heartless? I know I am rambling.. I have so much more to say.. Just need to share and get opinions. What would you do?

Even whole families seem to make a living of searching crystals in the Rockies.
They find aquamarine, topaz, amazonite, fumed quartz.
Some do it more or less with their bare hands, others with heavy machinery and blasting rocks off.
The season is not long and access not so easy. Thunderstorms and heavy rain threaten the life, as well as rocks falling down.
But can they sell what they find so easily? Who is prepared to pay some thousand dollars for a crystal or aggregate? And how often?
Some carry handguns and thieves seem to be around. So there must be a legal right to possess a claim on public land, but do they have to register?
Everything seems to have a value in America, mushrooms, too.

Truth?



Really?
.
Mine or yours?

What about the jury?
the, victim? the plaintiff?
The prosecutor?

AHHH, THE MIGHTY JUDGE YOU KING OF FLAWLESS CREATION?

OR MUST WE LEAVE IT TO WHOM?

YOU tell me. Or the world, or your children, and their children's children. Would you?

In the end, did we get any better?

Thanks all for your reads and comments.

WHILE YOU'RE AT IT. PLEASE READ: DESIDERATA

OR THE GOLDEN RULE FOR THAT MATTER. .

I am quite exhausted with news of people hating women...controlling women...in dress or on any political topic...then name calling to add insult to injury...throughout history...not to be confused with herstory...many have used their religion or their beliefs to demean women to prevent their access to freedoms...why?...

Some things surprised me, that was THAT long ago? Feels like yesterday.

Nostalgia ain't what it used to be. This probably gets posted regularly but I laughed, thought you might.

Enjoy.

i was hungover when i left around 2pm so the cold air was refreshing and i felt pretty calm coz my nerves were too f*cked to give a shit.

the doctor i saw was a complete f*cking tool
at one point he said something along the lines of:

"well if (the psychiatrist) thinks there's something wrong with you, doesn't that tell you that there must be?"

there's nowhere to go from there really is there?
he's completely wrong & i'm completely right.
even if there is actually something wrong with me i win this one on principle.
like Psychiatrists don't make mistakes?!
f*cking douche....

"no. that just means that someone thinks there's something wrong with me.... that doesn't mean there is"

in the end he didn't give me the sedatives i was looking for. says it's up to the shrink.

turning the corner, on the way out of the building, with my head down slightly, i noticed 2 nasty f*cks on their way in, i never looked up at them, i didn't have to, i just recognised their clothes & the way they carried themselves, these kinds of people are why i don't leave the house.
i continued to look down, hoping like hell that they wouldn't really notice me...
i turned my body slightly to create more room for them to get past me...
now that i think about it, everything about me was screaming subservience.
not much i can do about that. these guys scare me. everything i do will be an act of fear.
i just want to get back home. leave me alone.

i had just lost sight of them out of the corner of my eye when one of them barked "Hey how you doin man?! You remember me?!"

these kinds of guys knock the wind out of me as soon as i see them.
& their grating, aggressive tones don't do my solar plexus any good either.....
or my intestines for that matter

i attract the exact things i'm trying to avoid.
like the weight of my expectation is so heavy it just pulls in whatever is on my mind at the time.

he asked if i remembered him.

i had never seen him in my life.

i took a long, squinted look at him, with a kind of puzzled smile on my face... looking like i was gonna say something

finally, i shook my head & laughed a little... a nervous laugh, but not overly nervous because of the hangover

"sorry man i think you've got me confused with someone else"

"nah! i used to go out with your ex girlfriend!"

i'm f*cking laughing inside, no way in hell would my ex go near this guy.
it's just not possible... not even if i was completely delusional.

that's the honest & correct answer but of course i was never gonna say that...
even though that was the dominant thought in my head and those f**kers can sometimes just slip out
or people can just instantly pick up on them... and maybe he did...
he didn't like me either way...
i mean he must've really thought he knew me & was just tryin' to rub this shit in about him f*cking my ex...
OR he was making this shit up because he didn't like the look of me & thought he would just f*ck with me...

he looks like a 35yr old junkie

my gf was a quiet girl & gorgeous.... there are no words for how unlikely the possibility of them being "together" (in just about ANY sense) is/was

but he's not accepting that he's got me confused with someone else....
for whatever reason....

"she's got blonde hair right?"

"my ex gf has blonde hair yeah"

(that really narrows it down huh?)

"I USED TO GO OUT WITH HER!"

i instantly dismiss the the notion...
multiple times in quick succession.
i'm practically saying "this is just not possible... we're not in the same league"
in hindsight i realise that my dismissal was so obvious that i was lucky he didn't pick up on it as an insult & f*ck me up

Let’s stand still for a minute and imagine that there was a competition and you had won the first prize which is a dinner for six in a posh restaurant. It is to be a pure platonic outing and you may invite any 5 CS members to join you; all expenses – even airfares – paid.

According to the rules, you may invite neither your lover nor anybody else you have met previously.

If I should win such a prize, I would suffer a small pang of regret for the one person I would really love to meet is no longer with us. When I first arrived here he was mounted on a horse and wore an equally fearsome horned helmet. Yes, you guessed it. Ms Delatude would have been my choice was he still here and if I could invite only one person. Alas, he opted to leave us and I miss the old geezer.

But now he’s left and I can invite 5 friends. So who will it be? Five friends is cutting it fine and a lot of good friends are going to be left out; not because I don’t like them enough but rather because I am more inquisitive about the following people.

In alphabetical order:
Fotinia, Simmo, Ummka, Welela & Zmountainman.

They are 5 very different people but why them; what do they have in common with me? That is simple, they were all considered to be trolls at some stage. Guess what we will be talking about all night!

Ok, I left out a few other trolls but remember, I may only invite 5 people.

Also note that these people were all here when I first arrived at CS and played an important part in my settling here. No offense to my other friends; When I win the competition again you will certainly be on my list next time.


I trust that your weekend is going exactly according to plan.
