All I have to do is beat depression, beat anxiety, beat autism, learn how to make phone calls, beat social anxiety, learn to be less awkward, learn how to talk to people, overcome my fear of crowds.

Yeah, when I do all of that, its all over for everyone else

Ah yes, the inevitable 40th celebration draws close. Only 309 days to go. It's time to plan for that evenings shenanigans!

First up, securing a place to throw the party. I had my mother book the party venue where she lives, so that's nailed down. I just need to pay the 1800 dkk security deposit, which should be due sometime next week. Once that's been paid, the next stage of the planning begins: Inviting people. So far, I have invited 23 people, 24 with me. Some of the people I want to invite does not have a Facebook account, so I am estimating that 30 people will be there, so I have to order food for that amount of people. I need to make sure that there is enough for everyone to eat. Even if we're not 30 people, I will still order that much food. Nothing worse than running out of food halfway through meal service. I am in touch with a catering company that can provide me with food for 30 people, at 129 dkk per person, so I am looking at 3870 dkk for the food alone.

I also need soda, beer, wine and alcohol. The beer is 744 for six crates plus the fee on the cans as well. 24 cans per crate, that's 144 extra. 744 for the beer alone. Then comes the soda. I need six crates of coke as well as six crates of various mixed soda. Six crates of coke for 744, the same price as the beer. The other six crates of mixed soda is 447 dkk, meaning that for the beer and soda, I'm looking at 1935 dkk. Then I need wine and alcohol.

Wine is relatively cheap, at around 70 dkk for a boxed wine. I need five of those. That's 350. I also need bottles as well. I am not really a wine guy, so I don't know what I will have to pay for that. I do know that I need seven bottles of red, and seven bottles of white. They usually have an offer where you can get six bottles for 350 dkk, so let's go with that. That's 700 dkk for the wine. I then need the rest of the alcohol. One bottle of whiskey, priced at 177 dkk, three bottles of rum, priced at 100 each, so that's 300 dkk, one bottle of champagne priced at 500 dkk, one bottle of licor 43, priced at 120 dkk, two bottles of Malibu rum, priced at 110 dkk each and two bottles of bacardi rum, priced at 100 dkk each. Adding all that up, I'm looking at 2667 dkk for the wine and alcohol.

Then we come to snacks! Nothing fancy here - just the cheapest I can find. I might just go for ten bags of various chips. One bag is about 15 dkk, so that's 150 dkk in total. Next up is the party sticks. No party is complete without party sticks! Two packs of those, priced at 17 dkk each. I also need a load of candy and chocolate. I expect to pay about 500 dkk for that.

Then, we come to the final expense: Coffee! I think six bags will be enough. Luckily, they are 25 dkk each, so 150 dkk for that.

Now comes the grand total. I'm almost scared to add it up.

With the venue, the food, the drinks and the snacks: 9306 dkk for everything - spared no expense. 9306 dkk is $1367. The price can be more or it can be less. This is just a rough estimate.

I also need some confetti cannons, but they are pretty cheap. 59 dkk each, and I need 10 of them. I can buy one each month, so it's not something I will add into my budget here.

The party is gonna rule, and I can't wait!

We have all seen those videos on YT and Telegram insisting life in Russia is great after the sanctions and the sanctions and de-valuation of the Ruble have changed nothing.Videos of actors walking through shopping malls that seem to mostly be full of shoppers and only a few people carrying goods they have brought. We are told there are very few unemployed people in Russia and we are shown videos of well stocked supermarkets in Saint Petersburg and Moscow, and if you point out in the comments that while the videos do show stocked shelves the shoppers at the check out have very few items (not meat or fish) in their carts immediately some Russian (troll) will write that is because the market is surrounded by high rise buildings and Russians see no need to buy lots of food for their refrigerators and cabinets with the stores being so close and any impression that those shoppers have no money for the expensive food items is totally false. We should believe Russians love having to go to the supermarket every day to buy 2 or 3 potatoes and a carrot, rather than just by a 2 kilo bag of potatoes and a bunch of carrots so they don't have to come back every day.

Yes, in Moscow and Saint Petersburg there are lots of jobs. But that is just two cities of many cities and towns. What about the towns where the factory closed for lack of supplies and the town has been abandoned by governement? There are hundreds of such towns in Russia. Here is a video a brave person made about what it like for residents in one of those towns this week.

Mike is running for office. His new campaign ad talks about an energy plan to lower costs and by 2040 will make America the leading energy producer in the world. I like it and I'm with Mike on this plan.
Just like Mike, I want to be able to pull up to a pump, without paying, remove the nozzle and be able to put gas in my car and not have to squeeze the handle!

Awesome plan Mike...

As of this morning the Russian ruble has fallen in value to it's lowest point in the past 25 years (exclusive of the dip immediately after the 2022 invasion of Ukraine). As of 10 minutes ago the exchange rate of the Ruble on the world market is 1 penny US per Ruble. Further depreciation in value is probable as the war continues.

Religions are created to give uneducated people an explanation for the questions they should not ask themselves.
It is a matter of knowledge and clear thinking.

They ( the religious leaders) just tell us the parts they want people to know and repeat them endlessly, that is the basic of a brainwash, right.
What about all the other , contradictional parts that are never talked about, what about the missing books in the present bible?
What about the contradictional texts, the lack of historical facts, the misinterpretation of geology.
The lack of hard facts.
The way the books are written makes every text open for a various interpretation.
What makes it even more confusing.

The books are composed of various stories and texts, and re-re-re-written thousants of times in the last 1500 years.
There is no verification of any text, possible.
and you can imagine, how many times the texts are adapted and changed, because of the personal opinions of somebody.

People, question all they have been teaching/brainwashed you with.
Be critical, the texts were written in a time with a very very limited knowledge about all things.

The criminal part is, that the pollute children's minds with things they cannot verify or prove themselves.. And create a narrow minded generation.....
It that what we want?

News just in... Guitarist and songwriter Robbie Robertson died today at the age of 80. Cause of death: prostate cancer. He battled the disease for about a year.

It's about time this criminal has to face the music. That sweet deal he got for his tax crime and gun possession is going away now that his missing laptop showed up at a yard sale in Lansing, Michigan. Someone bought it for $20 and while downloading the latest Windows security updates, all his personal information, emails, photos of him and prostitutes that were in a hidden folder, suddenly became accessible.

The new owner knew he had something special and contacted the RNC wanting to turn over something so valuable. He wants to be reimbursed for for his efforts and the first person who can cough up $10,000 gets the laptop!
