So far i have had three proposials coming from guys who want to live in the united states.i guess i come with a green card..

Sadly many women like myself have learnt not to reply if we do not want to take it any further on any level. I think that should be a person's prerogative to choose. However, sadly, by not replying, I then receive a second angry email stating how rude I am, so from my own perspective, I thought I would set the record straight.
I receive many emails but many of them are outside my remit i.e. especially from younger men or separated guys or chaps who have children living at home etc. Now if I write politely saying I am not interested it seems to have the reverse effect of closing the door. Instead I am often bombarded with arguments why I should consider younger men, many of a suggestive nature, and I ask myself why did I bother to reply in the first place. Many men take it personally and then I have to block them!
So, as polite as I am by nature, I have chosen to exercise my right not to reply and I feel sure I am not alone in choosing this way...

A recent quote by an American author caught my attention whilst visiting one of my favourite websites, and it really has me thinking. He said, “Fear is a manipulative emotion that can trick us into living a boring life”. Was he speaking from personal revelation, or paraphrasing the thoughts of a friend during conversation? I don’t know, but whilst thinking about those words, I realized that people’s life being boring is common, and it could also be us becoming bored with life (in general) that is sometimes the problem.

When one is very young, energetic, optimistic and is experiencing life in all its newness and splendour, there usually isn’t any sign of boredom (except maybe at school or in church, lol). Perhaps this constant feeling of excitement and adventure was further amplified by one’s ignorance of fear? Do you remember how ‘fearless’ you were as a child (most of the time)? I do. It is only as I aged, that I became ‘fearful’ – usually of getting hurt physically, and later on … emotionally.

Not all fear is purely physical - there’s psychological, emotional and even spiritual fear - but I don’t think that it’s the ONLY reason for living a boring life or becoming bored with life… but then I could be wrong. Thrill-seekers, extreme athletes and other risk taking individuals lead exciting lives that sometimes are fuelled by fear (and other drugs ), yet they could become bored too. Isn’t theirs a case of living adventurous lives with or regardless of fear?

Perhaps it’s when one’s fear becomes stronger that one‘s willingness to pursue new/challenging experiences – for example, dating outside of one’s race or relocating to another part of the globe for love – that that causes life to be boring. But what about becoming bored with Life altogether? I’m not talking about suicide (I've blogged about that already), just about feeling as though there’s nothing new under the sun that you could get excited about, or your ill-health/poor finances has dashed your hopes of being able to. Could fear be an influence for you in that case too?

In either scenario, I think that I may be guilty of letting some degree of fear affect my interactions with Life, and that may need some real scrutiny……

Well I never




You go Luis, stand your ground

Can't believe this has become so blown out of proportion as it has, more so from a woman who doesn't even know her own mind.

Red card to Jennifer, I say

Wonder if a female coach, president or whatever kissed a male player in the same circumstances would she also be accused of an act of violence
or asked to resign.

Where some women make me feel proud to be a woman, there are others who make me feel downright ashamed.

What happens when a third world country empties into a developed nation? It turns into a third world country too.
New York city has a flood of migrants. Of course, no where near as many as the border states deal with every day. As a sanctuary city, they bragged how come one come all. Now its uh, come one..no more?
There are hotels that got taken by the city to house the illegals. One in note, was a five star with rooms averaging $500 A NIGHT. Now it is stuffed with about 5000 migrants. And many of them are young men. While homeless vets and others live on the street with minimal help, hotels like this one offer 3 meals a day, plus snacks. Housekeeping. Laundry. Bus passes. In other words, free room and board paid for by taxpayers struggling to meet the needs of their families.
There are no limits stated as to the length people may stay. There fore they believe its a free ride indefinitely. Now asked if they wish to move on to a location they came for, they say, nah..good here.
They mingle on the streets. Shoplift booze. Smuggle the bottles under babies and in kids back pack where they aren't checked. And spend their time getting blotto. Children drink too. The rooms are pig styes. House keeping cleans in the morning and its trashed by nightfall.
Stores around instead of making money off tourists are trying to keep afloat and not get mugged or robbed or shoplifted.
Maintenance is failing to keep up and the hotel is in danger of collapse or failure of systems. Men roam the halls with machetes, guns and brawl, abuse women and get drunk.
By the time things change, the only hope for the hotel(s) will be to bulldoze and start over.
If at some point, the migrants are told to move on, they will rebel and riot like they are used in their home countries.
When you take in wild animals, don't be surprised when you get rabies.

I see the new trades will be homes. When a new truck starts at 36K but, no dealer has them under 80K and some are running $110,000, the only way the average person can buy is to trade in their house! Or if not, be sure to buy a SUV/van because they will end up living in it!
I don't care how much houses are these days. I know in some areas and states..you can STILL buy a small house for 50K or there abouts.
The house may be a fixer upper. But the vehicle is a loss from the moment you sign that title. I always said never buy a car newer than five years old. By then the re-calls are mostly seen. The major depreciation is off, like driving it off the lot. And the lemons are lunched out and engines blown up.
Car-vanna is flooded with re-pos that they ask new price for and can't dump. Dealers are calling people begging for them to buy and trade in because the market is best on used.
Electric is shoved down peoples throats even tho the grid can't handle them and there are few charging stations. Add the cost of electricity rising. For a real view, call an EV owner in the Gaza strip and ask how charging is going for them. One glitch and they are done.

I went to a street food market in Copenhagen earlier today, and it was insane just how much different food were on offer. Everything from Afghani to Greek food. I went with a pulled pork burger, that had pork crackling in it. Oh my, what an experience!

The succulent pulled pork combined with the pork crackling gave it a very satisfying crunch! I am definitely incorporating that into my cooking! I also went there last week, and I got a pizza. Sadly, it was so salty that it gave me an upset stomach, so I am avoiding that if I ever go there again.

Tomorrow, it's off to more street food, this time it's in something called Banegaarden, which translates to The Railway Yard. One of the outlets is called PMY. They serve Latin American soulfood from Peru, Mexico & Venezuela, and that sounds like something I HAVE to try!

I would rather the USA not end up like today's Europe. God help us, and the rest of the world, if the USA goes down that insane socialist path. We need someone patriotic who will stear the USA and the world in the right direction.

Most Trump voters were firmly opposed to the decision.

For the uninformed, the Colorado’s highest court ruled and barred former President Donald Trump from the GOP primary ballot.
