I call BS on all scare mongering blogs just to add to my daily tally

There are people in America who think that Trump is the current president. But...the small detail is, he's not in the White House right now. Confusing? Going with that thought, if he's the president and already serving his second term that would mean he's not eligible to run for 2024.
There are people in America who think that Obama is directly pulling the strings of Biden, effectively running the office of the president. Would that be like Nancy Regan running the presidency when Ronald was in the early stages of Alzheimer's?
So Obama gets to run the presidency now making it a 3rd term and when Biden wins the 2024 elections, assuming he's still breathing, effectively Obama will be president for a 4th term.

When questioned, one Trump supporter was stumped about who is president:

Pretty funny...

I cannot recall having the desire to mingle.
Probably 25 years ago, I was on POF and the woman I was dating suggested we go to their dating site advertised meeting at a local restaurant to 'mingle' but my thought was "If we were dating, why would there be a need to mingle?"

Okay, some people like to socialize... I get that, but the meeting wasn't organized. I expected an announcer or someone to greet the members, as they say 'break the ice' with introductions, expectations, locations... maybe not name tags with profile names, but something to actually attract people to converse as a starting point.
Instead, it was some guys or girls who came alone or with a friend and didn't really mingle.
Unsuccessful at best.

Matchdoctor had a small group of members who were on the forums and successfully had a few meet & greet events that worked. I went to one and to my surprise met some nice folks!

One lady was 20 miles from me and working in health care. She was accepted to a nursing program in Alaska and relocated. We messaged a few times and after a few years I lost contact with her.

Hopefully, she found what she was looking for...

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!

I ate so much sushi at Mother's Day luncheon today that it impaired my breathing! Happy (belated) Mother's Day to all the women and Happy Mutha's Day to any of you who never had a mother.

Repenting of your sins and improving will take away your sins and keep you to not go in hell but lead to be saved and go in heaven.
Repent and improve daily and pray God to forgive your sins , your debts.
You need God and your life is you to be with God in love and in peace.
Love God with all heart...,and love your neighbours (all people)as yourself.
And you shall be led to live and to be saved.

God bless.

A Queensland camper has made a momentous scientific discovery after taking a closer look at a hairy poo.


Entomologist James Tweed was chilling out in the lush rainforest that sits behind the Gold Coast's busy beaches a while back.


As he wandered off to clean his teeth, his gaze fell upon what he thought was a blob of bird poo, turning furry with mould in the humidity.


But it turned out to be Australia's newest creepy-crawly – a longhorn beetle so distinct from its relatives that it's not just a new species, but a whole new genus.

I used to watch the TV show (also on YouTube) about people who were life-long hoarders taking it to the extreme. Last week, I attended a swap meet for people in the model aircraft hobby and remember many vendors who brought out the same stuff that didn't sell in last years swap meet.

I stopped going the ham radio festivals as the percent of used junk exceeded the new products. Sure, it's a way for someone to find a good deal on a part or hard-to-find radio tubes and it's probably a big social event to meet up with people you have talked to on the radio, but have no other connection with. Toward the end of the event, you can see them boxing all the things that didn't sell and bringing them back home.
An old friend works for an electronics firm and scours booths selling components he can sell in his business. Some connectors made 20 years ago are higher in quality than the new products.

I had a few computer monitors that were perfect for design drawings as the aspect ratio was equal to a sheet of paper. Using them daily and the capacitors in the power supply would fail. I found a guy who repaired them for a reasonable cost. His shop was filled to the ceiling with stacks of dead PC's. I went back to see him after COVID and the shop was closed. Brown paper covering the windows and a FOR RENT sign on the door.
Maybe he was able to recycle some of those electronic parts. I've seen videos where they process the gold plated contacts removing the gold so it can be reclaimed and sold for a profit. Probably the cases can be sold as scrap metal.

I've got a few small model helicopters I used for learning, some are still in working condition... but I moved on to bigger and better. I'll probably take them to one of the flying fields with a sign FREE in hopes I can unload them and stop hoarding them.

It's not money (loss or gain) but releasing stuff I have been keeping in inventory.

Now that I'm getting back to music, some of the gear I've been holding on to for years will become useful to me and I won't have to buy stuff again.
