Deep state deniers. Sadly, those in the latter group can attribute their challenges with perception overwhelmingly to the worst forms of TD-HD Syndromes. Often an interesting clue to diagnosis, the umbilical connections between the faltering Democrat Deep State and other entities, such as the fake news media, VERY fake, notably MSNBC, CNN, and many large metropolitan fish wraps, ---connections crystal clear to Patriots, go completely undetected. Regrettably, some of the afflicted, even after the highly evidenced based VIERK Institutes cash only up front remedies, seem only to experience partial recoveries, and this striking feature of the diathesis remains. We are all working feverishly, however, for the complete cure. It should be even more costly, in time and money. But we are considering taking newer Mercedes on partial trade, from the many suffering limousine liberals.

My associate is struggling to satisfy a client who rejected some doors with hairline cracks in the joints. Today, he didn't give him grief on a large door that was damaged in shipping. We'll replace the door, it's the abusive complaint that isn't necessary.
Some connection to the client in the medical field said a diabetic patient went for surgery to have a leg amputated.
They cut off the wrong leg.
It makes the crack in the door issue became less significant.

,,, The US offfice of the judiciary has powers and deep pockets enough to make even those of the US Congress jealous, now that it's fully on board. AND, unlike many members of the latter, AG Barr is wisely and professionally choosing not to use hyperbole in his rare announcements, unlike POS, Scumer, Pelosi, and many others. His initial statement was a calm, "I have some concerns about the Mueller investigation". Slick. But with such resources, perhaps things will expand to criminal inquiries into ALL of the failed witch hunts...from Stormy onward. Even those lying wenches against SEATED US Associate Justice (for life) of the Supreme Court, the decent and most honorable beer loving Dr. Kavenaugh. In particular, witch hunt participants, who gave misleading testimony, should come onto a very deep felony/prison carpet. Justice. Too many tingles down the legs.

After a lot of teeth gnashing and hair pulling, I finally broke down and phoned my bookkeeper to ask her to do my books for the past 18 months.

Yes, I'm way behind. No I haven't filed my taxes for last year. I absolutely hate bookkeeping and have had lots of good intentions this past year to input everything. So many, in fact, I have a personal road to hell, already paved, I'm sure. ("The road to hell is paved with good intentions"). Don't know who said that.

After sitting down in front of my bookkeeping program and trying again to figure out what goes where, I finally broke down and phoned the bookkeeper to ask her how much she'd charge to get me caught up. It wasn't nearly as much as I thought it'd be. With a huge sigh of relief, we agreed she'd come and get my stuff next week, take it home and get my books done. Right up to the current date. YES!

And after that, she'll do them on a monthly basis, because I just don't want to be bothered with it. For the cost, it's well worth it for her to do it. And then it leaves me time to do the things that I'm good at and like to do.

The only things I have to do from now until next Tuesday is print out all my bank statements, and download all the reports from Amazon and PayPal.

That's another thing I finally made a decision on yesterday. I closed my seller account on Amazon, fed up with their heavy handed bs on how I run MY business. I've told them numerous times, I don't work for you! With not only monthly fees but now they say 15% fees on every item sold, which seems to be more like 25%, I finally had enough and closed my account. I have my own website, and if people really want the product, they'll do a search and find my website. If not, I don't really care. I'm into other things now.

I have no problem paying PayPal the fee they charge to accept payment, but I'll be damned if I'm going to pay Amazon for them to dictate to me. Some other sellers have said the same thing about Amazon. They might be good for the buyers, but they treat their sellers like garbage. So bye-bye Amazon.

I've managed to get some small things caught up that have been nagging at me for weeks. I still have a bunch of photos to edit from the week I was with the architectural photographer, but now that these other things are done, I can do that without the pressure of "I should get this other thing done".

Yay! Now I can refocus on the things I like to do, knowing that these other things are taken care of. Yippee!

Some police/fire chiefs in Californicateya, even in tiny municipalities, if on the job long enough, can earn 2-300 large yearly. A life pension then can amount to almost half of that. And when the chiefy dies, wifey continues to collect. With only grammar school math, any Bozo on the bus can see how unsustainable that becomes, given current demographics, which is why such defined overly generous pension plans, once very common, are now rere. That is in the dreaded private sector. If one still pretends to work in the government/public sector, such pensions, once awarded to almost all, when vested, still exist, but are also becoming less common. Now such pretend workers must pay in their share, although this is typically much less than in the dreaded private sector, where workers self fund their own retirement plan, when they exist, with the employer sometimes kicking in a shilling or two yearly. Several US states are either in, or approaching, receivership/bankruptcy, largely due to pensions, but also to typical spend and tax government mentalities. Used to be that these plans were "justified" by claiming that employees in government "service", earned less than those in real productive jobs in private industry. Long no longer at all true. More voters and taxpayers need to know this, and work to have it all become much more fair.

The blogs on CS are programmed so that any member can comment to their blogs at any time and bring them to the top of the page. If you comment to each of ten old blogs, all ten will float to page one. Current discussion in the blogs is about limited exposure to reduce the number of blogs a member can display. As a newbie to CS, I thought it was odd to the amount of self promotion that goes on here. People have the ability to bump their dead blogs and bring them to the top of the page.

That didn't happen on the site I was previously associated with. No matter how many comments you added, each blog would slowly drift away...
It was only when another member commended that would bring your blog to the top.

(side note, this was one of the reasons members created sockpuppets so they can intentionally bump their own blogs)

I asked CS administration if they would consider a format change to stop self promotion and their reply was no.

Their response didn't surprise me as it's expensive to implement website changes. I'm thinking status quo should someone actually contact administration requesting a change.

Yep, while the price here brings on it's share of scummy fake profiles and scammers, and we all have minimal suggestions for improving the platform, now consider the pickle OK Cupid, Match DC, and the others in the same internecine money grubbing businesses, find themselves in. Faking formerly was exclusively for scammers USING the sites, not those themselves RUNNING these services. Such subterfuge, selfishly/brazenly risked only to increase paying membership, will be a real trick to sneak away from, without consequences. FTC, Federal and State A's G, etc.Those of us who spent minimal time on such paying sites quickly became hip. Delicious, when the slugs get hauled onto the legal carpet, nicht wahr?

Most retailers allow buyers to return goods with no questions asked.
I heard from one store manager regarding electronics, on return when they inspect and cannot find anything wrong with the product it will be sold as 'open box' discounted with full warrantee as long as the product appears new, has all the packing, manufacturers instructions and the product hasn't been registered/original warrantee card was mailed.

I've purchased many products that didn't live up to their claim and had a full refund from the store they were purchased from.

Most of my computers were 3rd party refurbished that last for years. I have one recent purchase that stopped after a few hours. (note to self: get a return authorization and send it to the service center) The tech support help step-by-step couldn't revive it, so it's got to go back for repair/replacement.

Off Lease Only is a volume car reseller in Florida with thousands of cars online to shop from. I went a few weeks ago with a friend and he had a pleasant experience shopping and making a purchase. No pressure, their fees are clearly posted. Loan and extended warranty were easy to choose. I see they have a remorse policy... yes, it's conditional but if you are unhappy with your purchase, you have some return options.
They advertise on many venues, but much of their business is by referral.

No one wants to hassle with a store to get a refund and vendors cannot afford bad publicity... so they have little choice but to make it win-win for both parties involved!


Thanks for reading my blog!

All the people on our planet can be divided into two groups. There are those who will believe everything that researchers say and those who know that researchers will say anything to please their sponsors. That is the only way for them to stay in the game. You keep the sponsors happy.

Likewise, you get two kinds of researchers; no matter what field they’re in. Firstly you get the researcher who is funded to find the truth. He does not set out to prove anything. He collects the evidence and will not reach early conclusions. When he’s done, he will look at all the evidence that is available and base his interpretations on that. He was hired to find the truth and he tried to do just that.

Then there is the researcher who is funded to prove or disprove something. He will twist or shape even the most insignificant finds into evidence to prove his point while he will ignore – and even suppress – anything that would defy his purpose; no matter how conclusive that evidence may be. He was not funded to prove the opposite and it would be financial suicide to submit a negative report to his financier.

Then how do we know the difference? Who do we believe? Well, look at the sponsor; see what interest he may have in the outcome of the exercise. What does he stand to gain or lose by the outcome?

But this kind of selective evidence gathering is not confined to scientific research. We get it in almost every industry from archaeology to simple market surveys, and nowhere is it more prominent than in the news media. Just listen to how different an Arab TV station and an Israeli TV station will describe the same bombing incident; one would think they’re talking about different events. Once again it is a matter of who pays the wages.

So, a little advice from me; don’t believe everything that researchers say. First, look at who’s to gain or lose by the outcome and who is funding the venture. It goes about big bucks for the sponsor and is the bread and butter of the researchers.

As usually, you don't have to pay me for this valuable advice. I render it as a free service in order to promote a better understanding of data manipulation misrepresentation.

Just go out and do it today; whatever!

Woke up, cleaned up, made coffee...and all before noon. I keep asking myself when I'm going tone down this hectic lifestyle, but for the moment it suits me.

I sometimes weigh my wants against my needs and the sum against my overall contributions. Then I get high and play video games.


This morning, I was walking past the building manager's office and decided that I'd give up one of my prized drawings to be sacrificed to the Crayola Gods. I hope her son has fun with it! (I'm only crying a little
)
She was happy to take it, and only asked that I sign it first.

I think I'll sleep-in tomorrow.
