About the "Meet Me" part of Connecting Singles
So, I come to this site and I check the Invoice. Sometimes there is a message, sometimes there isn't. I also check the blogs, seeing if any catch my interest (a few do, but please keep writing). And then I start on the "Meet Me" course, adjusting my search for any woman between 24 years of age and 34 years of age (I am 34). First, I start with my home state. When no results show up, I go for the option of all states and, sometimes, even different nations. I do find quite the unique individuals, women of different backgrounds from entrepreneurship to working in high-paying fields like business, law, and medical fields. There's even a few former military women on the site.
I am asked if I want to meet the woman, which I respond with a "Yes" or a "Maybe"; I only say "No" if the woman's status is married or separated (divorced makes me more hesitant, so I usually skip those individuals). I even give a few women a "Like" every now and then.
Now, I know I am not the only one who does this; it is a public site after all, and the options and preferences are available for all. My question is this: would anyone like to actually meet up?

It the culture dummy.
I read an article by a Negro gentleman. He spoke about the situation of his race. And said it is not racism. It is the culture. He is so right. It is a culture and attitude that keeps any race, sect, nationality, gender or whatever in the place they exist in. It is a cop out to blame any of it on those aspects.
Whether black, white, brown..whatever country of origin, it could be over come. Many have. When saying its racism, look at those who listened to the whine, the man keeps me down...struggled and ignored it.and succeeded. They ignored being told you will never amount to anything because___________!
Shanty Irish, Pollack, Jew, Kraut, etc...they fill positions of rank in offices, government, medical, law, business, schools. They are lawyers, Doctors, store owners, movie stars, politicians, astronauts.
Culture is the issue. When any group tolerates evil or crime or slovenliness or rudeness because..he is one of us. It could be us. When a woman divorces a man because he never is home, has affairs, sews his wild oats, treats her like dirt, beats her, wont support the family and refuses to be a helpmate. And then raise her kids the same. Daughter, you do the laundry cause brother has better things to do. He gets to stay out at night cause he is a boy. In other words, teaches him or allows him to become a man just like the man she kicked out.
When someone shop lifts and the culture excuses it. When crime occurs and the culture turns the other cheek because there has to be a reason. Yes. The reason is because the group will stick together no matter what just because it is the culture of the group. Us against the world.
So easy to cry racism rather than admit it is a culture that allows and perpetuates what is actually stopping them from succeeding. Go tell it to James Earl Jones or that congressman or woman. The lawyer, the C.E.O, or your minority Doctor from the Dominican Republic.

Bullets in your baggage...
Years ago, there were stories about Americans vacationing in Philippines who were detained by airport security when a single bullet was found in a coat pocket. Arrested and forced to pay fines to be released from jail. The 'bullet-planting' scandal was eventually resolved by investigation.
Twice this month, I've seen stories about Americans with bullets in their luggage. They were detected in a foreign country while on vacation. Security there isn't lenient in the least. Prison and huge fines. One guy is facing a 12-year sentence.
No guns... only a few bullets that (he said) wasn't cleaned out of his luggage before going on a trip.
Some reader comments did ask the question as to why the bullets weren't found by security scanning BEFORE they left the US?
Bullets in your baggage... Don't leave home with them!

A real story of a place where water of a river turn red during a mensuration of goddess durga
Kamakhya temple is one of the oldest Shakti peetha in India. It is situated on the Nilachal hill in Guwahati,Assam.
The story behind Kamakhya temple is quite interesting. It's about Hindu God Shiva and Sati.
Once Sati fraught with Shiva to attend her father's great Yagna,where they both were not invited purposefully. Sati went alone to the Yagna. There she was insulted by her father and also he spoke ill about Shiva. Unable to bear the insult Sati jumped in to the sacrificial fire of the Yagna. Shiva got to know about the incident,he couldn't control his anger. Carrying his wife's burnt corpse he went on a rampage with his dance of destruction. Which we all know as Tandav. All God and Goddess were in fear. They all went to Vishnu to get any help. Then Vishnu sent his Chakra and cut burnt body of Sati,in order to calm Shiva.
It's believed that Sati's body parts fell in 108 different places across India. Today they are known as Shakti peetha.
The place where her womb and va*ina fell,is what today's Kamakhya temple.
The Ambubachi Mela is an annual mela celebrated during assamese month Ahaar. It is the celebration of the yearly menstruation course of goddess Kamakhya. It is believed that during that time the water of Brahmaputra near the temple turns red. There is no idol of the deity inside the temple. But she is worshipped in the form of a YONI like stone instead over which a natural spring flows.
This is the story which I have heard from childhood. Apart from this, it's a very beautiful and peaceful place to visit.
Thank you.

One Belt and Road Initiative growing stronger
Pakistan’s top court directs central bank to issue funds for snap polls
The parliament had on Thursday (13) ruled it wasn’t possible to spare Rs 21 billion ($74.79 million) in funds for the snap polls, which the court had ordered.
Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial had summoned officials from the finance ministry, the central bank and the Election Commision of Pakistan (ECP) to his chamber on Friday to seek a reply on the funds, warning that non-compliance would have consequences.
The parliament had on Thursday (13) ruled it wasn’t possible to spare Rs 21 billion ($74.79 million) in funds for the snap polls, which the court had ordered.
The court order said the chief justice directed the central bank’s acting governor and the finance ministry to coordinate and “forthwith allocate and release” the money from federal consolidated funds no later than April 17.
China spent £194.97 billion rescuing ‘Belt and Road Initiative’ nations, says study
Argentina was the largest beneficiary, receiving £90.80bn, equivalent to $111.8bn, followed by Pakistan with £39.39 ($48.5bn) and Egypt with £12.67 ($15.6bn)
Countries have received bailouts to extend loans and remain solvent. China claims over 150 countries have joined the trillion-dollar BRI infrastructure initiative launched by President Xi Jinping ten years ago.
According to Beijing, the objective of the initiative is to strengthen friendly trade ties with other countries, especially those in the developing world.
Japan, India, France to announce launch of Sri Lanka’s debt restructuring negotiation process
Sri Lanka confident of Chinese support in debt restructuring: central bank chief
The central bank chief of the crisis-hit South Asian country said Sri Lanka is optimistic of China’s continued support, pointing to how Beijing “did the right thing in giving Sri Lanka financing assurances last time”.
“I think this is probably the first time China has given it that fast,” he said.
With the help of the International Monetary Fund and other partners who also helped share information, said Weerasinghe, the debt restructuring process can continue.
“Obviously China is a country that has been helping Sri Lanka for a long time and [it has[ invested a lot [in Sri Lanka]. [It will be in the] best interest of both China and Sri Lanka to complete this process soon and we can get back to repaying our debt service obligations,” he said.
“Sooner the better for both countries,” he added.
In February, China’s Exim Bank gave Sri Lanka a two-year moratorium on its defaulted loans and said it would discuss additional re-structuring within that ‘window’.
In early March, Sri Lanka secured a 2.9 billion dollar extended fund facility from the IMF after obtaining assurances of support from China.

Blabbering blabber
As they say, there is no realization of the false 'I'; it's merely a dissipation of self-reference, a process that occurs in the default mode network. The constant self-reference is the false 'I,' which has ceased to exist. Even without it, I, as an individual, did not cease to exist; I continued to exist. In this state, one is not bound by the narcissistic grid of 'me vs them' dichotomy.
I want to highlight that people who experience real awakenings follow certain protocols of unfoldment due to the deterministic causal nature of reality, including consciousness. One of these protocols involves laughing at the ego. I can't explain in detail, based on memory, the exact mechanism of this interplay, as on paper, it might sound like either a contradiction or that pieces are missing. How can there not be an 'I'? However, I'm not compelled to explain myself. I'm just letting you know that I laughed at my own ego and at the ego as a phenomenon, considering it as a construct with its function and predictable behavior.

Think about me every now and then old friend...
It's Sunday night and I'm wrapping up another YouTube marathon weekend, where I came across some stories about Paul McCartney and John Lennon. American singer/songwriter/guitarist Carl Perkins had enormous influence on The Beatles, early in their careers.
This video I'm linking is about after their breakup and how they often collaborated with other musicians.
Paul & Linda had visited John in New York at The Dakota apartments where he was staying. As they were leaving it's claimed Lennon said: "Think about me every now and then old friend..." Something they didn't share with anyone else. Lennon was murdered in 1980.
Years later, McCartney invited Carl Perkins to work on a project with him and stayed at their house. Carl had a dream with a song lyric and the next morning he played it for Paul, repeating the last words he and Linda heard when leaving John.
The rest is history.
Did the spirit of John pass by Carl that night?

5G...
I'm rounding the bend with my recent episode of cellphone hell. Most of the issues with my new phone have been eliminated with setting changes and installation of apps that helped fix problems the phone didn't do in it's stock setup.
One concession I made was to select the 'always on' screen because there weren't any visual indicators when the screen was turned off. My two previous models had a blinking light reminder when mail or unread texts were waiting.
This is my first phone to have 5G service and that's no additional charge from my carrier.
Maybe you can recall all the negativity issues people said about 5G, like no signal in buildings, the systems were made in China and capturing all your personal data and the most significant... 5G will burn your eyes in their sockets.
I'm due for an eye exam (and oil change in my car) so probably next week, I'll make an appointment... for both.
I'll report back here should the eye doctor find unusual retina damage.
