When I joined CS, there were complaints about 'how good things used to be' with the old timers. During the 'newbie week' before I was allowed to blog, I went through old blogs. Lots of old blogs. There were episodes of gossip, biting and back stabbing back then... pretty much what all social media sites have to endure. Collectively, we are all in different age groups, have economic differences, language and cultural differences as CS's reach is global. In the right state of mind, it's a sharing of differences and ideas. In the wrong state of mind it's a separation.

Someone did a Facebook page where they clipped headshots of members showing them in less than positive settings. Obviously, those ORIGINAL members had sufficient issues then to prompt a tattle-tale page away from CS.

The site I was on before CS was a fun place to blog and though there were differences of opinion, we all got along. Loosely managed, the administrator couldn't keep up removing scammers and hackers, so he assigned the URL to another dating site and closed the place we called home. I received a text invitation from a friend to join CS. To my surprise many of the members from that site were here long before me and I knew there were complaints from a few of the older members, how they said the new wave was different and didn't fit in. As a group (regardless of personality) they/we were disliked. That was no secret and some were blatant to voice their dislike for members who weren't in their clique.

Over time, many of the original members have moved on, so have the ones from the other site. Remember Willy? Our friendship goes back many years and his escape from CS was an untimely death. We agreed to disagree on many levels, but I still miss him.

What I've found remaining from the original CS group are some venom filled complainers, especially one scornful gossiper from the Emerald Isle. You would think there would have been some acceptance for the second wave. Not true, she and one of her pals still hold a grudge and takes swipes at Americans (especially at me) regurgitating their dislike whenever they can.

Being friendly doesn't work.
Being funny, doesn't work either.
Ignoring them, doesn't work as they complain about that too. It seems battling with other bloggers gives them pleasure.
Saying nice things to other members is an invitation to get your head chopped off and others in the fray will piss on you and laugh.

Recently a member was booted out by administration, there must have been a reason. But, It doesn't matter how many people liked him, if what he said didn't agree with CS, they (management) chose to close his profile. I believe their decision is final. There have been instances where a few waited a while and returned with sock profiles. Maybe they are under the radar of administration or quietly given a second chance.
That to me is really not important... either way.

Claimed by one, I write boring blogs and clip news articles, much the same as others, although he contradicts himself by posting similar boring things.


In closing this blog, I hope the instigators of hate will come to their senses and act like responsible adults and not 'shallow thought' gossip mongers. CS history records itself as the blogs of those who cause a ruckus often disappear and worse, their profiles go silent too.

Are your proud of your actions here?
Be an asset to CS and not a liability.



In the words of Rodney King: "Can we all get along?"

America wants to keep our beloved constitution which controls governments in the USA. We liked our liberties.
We liked our affordable cars and cosmetics and affordable food. We enjoy independence that goes with home ownership, use our cars to take us where we want to go when we want to go. Why is biden becoming the biggest saver this country has ever seen. Why cant biden be charge with treason.why donwe deserve a puppet. Why do we want to become the majority of Europe.
Our own government will destroy us through our census.

Leave it to Biden to nominate a man who hates America, celebrates people who kill cops, oh yeah, and who also hates Jews to be a federal judge. By now, this administration should have figured out that nominating people based on which woke boxes they check off is a mistake. But they have not because you know, they're Democrats.

And Biden is nothing more than a Botox-filled puppet doing the bidding of someone else; we don't even feel the need to adjust our tinfoil saying that at this point.

Someone thought nominating Adeel Mangi was a good idea.

Someone was wrong.

Sen. John Kennedy ain't havin' none of it. Watch:

Adeel Mangi is not qualified to be a federal judge because he supports organizations that celebrate people who kill law enforcement officers, hate Americans, and hate Jews.

It’s not Islamophobic to recognize that. It’s our job.

I wrote a blog stating I had noticed 600+ new members joining CS in a period of less than 4 days. I believed they were all scammer profiles because they were within 22-25 years old using photos that looked like models and their opening lines had similar website addresses.

Researching the addresses got me to the main URL of Google Meet. It looks like the purpose of the GM is to create virtual meeting rooms similar to Hangouts or Whatsapp.

I reported a few different profiles that had the same photo and a few where I found the social media sites that the photos were most likely stolen from.

Logging in this morning my unopened email message counter was down. Some of the scammers who contacted me disappeared in the night!

I had bookmarked more than 20 bogus profiles and checking them today I see they were all gone.


Kudos to the administrators who quickly responded to eliminate bogus profiles on CS!

Nearly 3mths now since Kate and her children were last seen, whatever about all the conspiracies and its truth about any, if at all

One thing could not be more clear, the royal family believe they owe their people nothing

My God, but what a bloody joke those royalties have become

Maybe when you were younger, you wanted to be a Space Cadet. Don't despair... You still have a chance as NASA is taking applications! While the odds are slim, you have to be a U.S. citizen and you must pass the astronaut physical exam.
There is no age limit or 20/20 vision requirement and don't worry that NASA set a high bar for education.
They are looking for applicants with a master’s degree in science, technology, engineering or mathematics, followed by at least three years of related professional experience.
I'm sure (for a price) you can find someone on the dark web who can print your diploma and a tech company to vouch for your employment.

“The trip to Mars is six to nine months,” he said. “You’re going to be away from familiar for more than a year, one to three years. Are you really ready for that?”

I will be joining some single peeps in the Fresno area at the end of this month for a game night. I imagine there will be men there that will bring their chess games because us single introverts like games like that…heady games, so I learned chess in one afternoon.

Ask me if I’m good at it though because that’s a whole other ball game…

I couldn’t understand what a stalemate was to save my life for a bit. So now without the aid of the internet I will try to tell you all what it is in my own words…and someone told me not to feel bad because it’s hard for a newbie to grasp but I want to understand damnit!

It is when the king, if he moves in any direction, will become under attack but he is not under attack until he does so. So the game is a draw.

Checkmate is when the king is directly under attack and when he attempts to move out of the way then he is still under attack. So the game is over.

Am I right or wrong?

Oh lawd.



This is fun though. I’m learning something new.

My own pick for game night though is a game called score four. I played that with a man once. He beat me every time but I had a blast playing that game. It’s like a three dimensional game of checkers. So I will be bringing that one to share.

This should reduce the head count in the next census that includes illegal persons as well as legal persons which would definitely increase the number of representatives in those states seeing more illegals invading the USA. Lets go Brandon.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed Texas to enforce a law that would allow local law enforcement officials to arrest people suspected of being illegal immigrants.

After the high court temporarily blocked enforcement of the law, the Supreme Court issued a decision to reject an emergency request that was made by the Biden Department of Justice, which argued that states have no right to enforce immigration law and that it violated the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause.

The Supreme Court’s order provided no reasons, but Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh filed concurring opinions. Three Democrat-appointed justices, Elena Kagan, Ketanji Brown Jackson, and Sonia Sotomayor, dissented.

With the ruling, the immigration law can now go into effect while lower courts consider the law, known as SB4. It was passed by the Republican-controlled state Legislature last year and signed into law by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott in late December.

Specifically, SB4 allows local and state police to arrest people who have illegally crossed the U.S.–Mexico border and imposes criminal penalties. State judges are also given the power to order illegal immigrants to be deported under the measure.

In her concurring opinion, Justice Barrett wrote that the high court has “never reviewed the decision of a court of appeals to enter—or not enter—an administrative stay.”

“When entered, an administrative stay is supposed to be a short-lived prelude to the main event: a ruling on the motion for a stay pending appeal. I think it unwise to invite emergency litigation in this Court about whether a court of appeals abused its discretion at this preliminary step,” she wrote.

The three dissenting justices, however, decried the law and said it would upend the federal government’s authority. “The Court gives a green light to a law that will upend the longstanding federal-state balance of power and sow chaos, when the only court to consider the law concluded that it is likely unconstitutional,” Justice Sotomayor wrote in her dissenting opinion, which was joined by Justice Jackson.

Reacting to the Supreme Court’s decision, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton wrote on social media Tuesday that his state notched a “huge win” and that the law “is now in effect.”

Last month, a federal judge blocked enforcement of the law, arguing that it would supersede the federal government’s authority over immigration. The judge also rejected arguments from Texas that the state is currently experiencing an invasion due to the enormous numbers of illegal aliens pouring into the state.

U.S. District Judge David Ezra in February ruled that SB4 violated the U.S. Constitution’s supremacy clause, which grants the federal government sole authority over immigration matters. The judge also rejected state arguments that Texas was being invaded under the U.S. Constitution’s Article IV.

He wrote at the time that the law would run afoul of federal immigration laws and said that if allowed, Texas would then be able to “permanently supersede federal directives,” which would “amount to nullification of federal law and authority.”

The law presents a “notion that is antithetical to the Constitution and has been unequivocally rejected by federal courts since the Civil War,” Judge Ezra wrote, adding that it “threatens the fundamental notion that the United States must regulate immigration with one voice.”

Days later, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals blocked Judge Ezra’s decision and upheld the law before the case was appealed to the Supreme Court. Justice Samuel Alito issued several temporary holds on the law, the most recent of which was on Monday.

The 5th Circuit is set to hear arguments in the case in April

The top menu line of CS contains a few menu items. Drop down menus are the looking glass for searches, the people button and of course the Profile and Inbox menus. In between you find your 'matches' which you might hope are CS limits to local members within your search preferences, but search preferences are largely ignored. You will see all members, young and old: women if you are a straight man, all men if you are a straight woman. You can tune who you see by adding an age range or a specific location in the menu at the right. The ordering is according to the last log-on date and time.

And then there is the "meet-me" button, which shows 'new members' in your local area. You can 'swipe' either 'yes', 'may be' or 'no'. Candidly to all members you answered 'yes' CS sends a 'like'. As a rookie, I wasn't aware of this. Nowadays I don't use the 'Meet me' button any longer. A peculiar side effect of using the "meet me" button, is that when responding 'yes' without a full profile view, the recipient of the 'like' doesn't notice the sender among his 'profile views'. This is a tell-tale of people having used the "meet me" button. (Technically you might also switch 'hiding my views' and then send a like. This suggests a twisted mindset.)

If you don't really like to receive messages from certain regions or continents or from people (far) outside your target age range, you can specify this by editing your block settings. Your default block settings are lifted for all members you 'like'. A member who 'likes' you, thereby also lifts his/her block settings for messaging (if there were any). If 'likes' are mutual, messaging is possible by default.
