Introducing myself - The first twenty years.
I was born in Empangeni, Kwazulu, South Africa. That was because I wanted to be close to my mother and she happened to be right there at the time. I believe it is a natural phenomena for a baby to be born in very close proximity to his mother. That was about nine months after I went to a picnic with my father one day; and then, later that day, went home with my mother.
I was born on a Saturday; my mother, being a career woman, was too busy in the week.
My parents sent me to school hoping that I would one day become a doctor or something like that. I quickly developed a doctor’s scribble, but that was as close as I would get to realise my mother’s ideals. I did not become a doctor, but I did satisfy her second choice; I became some thing!
After school, like all other white boys in my country at the time, I was conscripted into the army. I had a girlfriend by then, but I could not write anything personal or intimate to her
as she had to take my scribbles to the pharmacy to be read by the pharmacist.

A Dog’s Life
Hi, I am Jack Russell but I respond to the name of Voertsek which means ‘scram’. I know I got the name to chase the other dogs away when my master calls me. He is sleeping now and that silly cat is walking around in the neighborhood. While the cat is away the dog can play. I know how much my master loves blogging so I decided to help him a bit. He does run out of ideas at times.
I have been in captivity for about four years now; ever since I was so cruelly snatched from my mother when I was just a puppy. I did run away a few times but so far I always came back. A dog gets hungry very quickly.
My master has ‘papers’ for me and he knows my ‘family tree’. It does make me feel important but otherwise it is of no help to me. I normally use any tree.
I am not the only animal here. There are two other dogs, a cat, a bird and a fish but I don’t think the cat is a prisoner for he can come and go as he likes. Except for the cat, who is just Cat – like my master, we all have human names. The cat also responds to the name of ‘Meneer’ which is funny because my master calls all male strangers ‘Meneer’.
I don’t know if the fish is an animal. His human name is Betta Splendens. They say he is a male but it sounds like a woman’s name to me. He is kept in a tank of water and he just swims around showing off. I heard he is a Siamese fighting fish but to me he does not look like much of a fighter. Not like me who kill the rats in the yard at night. I’m very good at it but I am going to stop it because the cat gets all the credit for it. Life is unfair.
I’m not sure about the status of the bird whose human name is African Grey. My master calls him Skollie, which means ‘scoundrel’, and he sits in a cage suspended from the ceiling. I think he is only in protective custody because the cat does not like him. He can speak human language and is often in conversation with my master. I wonder what they talk about when I’m not around. We dogs are not allowed in the house without our master calling us. I hope that stupid bird does not tell my master that I am here now for he is watching me all the time.
The other two dogs here are my best friends. Fluffy is very old and has no ‘papers’ but she has ‘arthritis’. My master once said that she is a ‘pavement special’, whatever that is. She is small like me; almost blind and battles to get up in the mornings. Somebody told my master the other day that he must have her ‘put out’ but my master was not happy with the idea. He said Fluffy has been with him for almost fifteen years.
The other dog – Bruno is his name – is big and strong. He also has ‘papers’ and is a bit of a bully but he does keep the place safe. We are fed separate from him because he eats our food as well. His human name is Bull Terrier and quite a few people said he looks like a pig. It is my job to wake Bruno up when there is trouble.
I like my master but I would like to get more of the food that he eats. Instead he feeds us, the cat included, on pellets that he says is good for us. What does he know about what is good for us? The cat gets leftover food much more often than us. The bird, who is fed on funny looking black seeds, gets a large thighbone every time my master has chicken on the table.
Sometimes, when I was naughty, my master hits me with a piece of rolled-up newspaper. Then I make a lot of noise and run away to make him believe that I am scared of him. He can be so silly sometimes.
I don’t like it when my master gets visitors because sometimes, when there are small children, we are locked up in the tool shed. I don’t know why because I like playing with children and I cannot help if they fall over when I jump against them. They can be such sissies.

Touched a nerve...
This week, the first primetime hearing of the House Select Committee to Investigate the Jan. 6 Attack on the Capitol has touched a nerve with Trump supporters everywhere. Reports are popping up that Trump himself is trying to backstroke about statements and Tweets made regarding the events surrounding the attempted coup.
That falls into the category of a river in Egypt... Denile.

Obama's celebatory speech
Tonight Obama made an celebratory speech like I have NEVER heard. He is amazing ! I do believe he CAN both unite and lead this nation effectively. He is bright, charismatic, innovative, positive, motivating, and has overcome terrific odds. He has an intrinsic ability to touch people with words.
Given the state of the economy and the world, he will be given real challenges, but I truly believe, he more than any other candidate I have witnessed in my lifetime, CAN get things done and promote a change for the better. Tonight, I have true hope for our nation and it's future. Naturally, time will be the ultimate judge, but I am really inspired by this man. Congratulations to him and to our country for making the choice for real change.

Just who is Michael Baxter of Real Raw News?
In response to: Site author “Michael Baxter” portrays himself as a reporter with access to privileged information. He cites unnamed sources who he claims are in day-to-day contact with Trump, and others who he claims are at Guantanamo Bay. He promises to check back with them regularly. He attributes direct quotes to named people. He issues corrections when he makes spelling errors or gets someone’s title wrong. A disclaimer added to its “About Us” page in April says the website contains “humor, parody and satire,” yet Baxter has defended the accuracy of his writings dozens of times in the comments sections on various articles.
“We don’t publish fake news,” he wrote in one such comment.
“The headlines can read like pretty straight news reporting, if you’re at all kind of susceptible to believing that this is really happening,” said John Gregory, a senior analyst at NewsGuard, a service that reviews and rates websites according to various journalistic criteria. “It doesn’t have some of the telltale signs of hoaxes or misinformation that we might see on other sites.”
In the alternative universe of Real Raw News, former Vice President Mike Pence has been on the run for months in an escape that saw him seek asylum in Qatar and take a bullet to the chest. Dr. Anthony Fauci, the White House’s chief medical adviser, hasn’t gotten his COVID-19 vaccine. The military has arrested dozens of public figures — including Hunter Biden, former Attorney General William Barr, and billionaire Bill Gates — and several of them have been hanged, sent to the guillotine, shot by a firing squad or otherwise executed.
Of course, none of that is true. But these headlines haven’t stopped the site from building a following. Though the website has been publishing for less than 10 months, mentions of Real Raw News, realrawnews.com and related hashtags have more than doubled across social media, broadcast and traditional media, and online sites within the last two months, according to an analysis from Zignal Labs Inc., a media intelligence firm. Several stories from that time frame got thousands of shares on Twitter and Facebook.
“We have this assumption that most people can spot that this is a fake news site, and therefore it’s not impactful,” said Rachel Moran, a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Washington’s Center for an Informed Public. “But I just don’t think that’s the case anymore.”
After debunking more than a dozen claims in 2021 that originated on Real Raw News, PolitiFact decided to investigate the website and who was behind it.
We found that the “Michael Baxter” behind Real Raw News previously ran at least three other websites and associated YouTube channels that, while now mostly purged from the internet, also promoted far-fetched conspiracy theories — about everything from the mythical planet “Nibiru” to alien visitations.
Public records and other publicly available information show the author’s real name is Michael Tuffin, 53, who lived in Texas as recently as July and has also lived in New York.

So Seaworthy you are at liberty to delete comments pointing out your blogs are c&p from Real Raw News, but you can't stop me posting the truth about the source of your comments, which is that it is a total fabrication and far from the truth.
Congratulations to,...................................................
Candy aka MH, Mimi aka DC,........................ Both found someone from here, so something positive and proves you can find someone here, I couldn't be happier for two wonderful blogging friends and wish you both and your new partners all the very best,......................
God’s Silence Pt. 1
A compilation January 13, 2015
For God alone my soul waits in silence; from him comes my salvation.—Psalm 62:1 (1)
Entering into the silence of God
A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is suffering terribly from demon-possession.”
Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.” He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.”
The woman came and knelt before him. “Lord, help me!” she said.
He replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to their dogs.”
“Yes, Lord,” she said, “but even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table.”
Then Jesus answered, “Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour.—Matthew 15:22–28 (2)
*
I have always been impressed with the Canaanite woman in Matthew 15:21–28. How could this woman face the silence of Jesus when her need was so great? How could she stand firm while the living God was standing right in front of her? She could touch Him. She knew He had the power and authority to heal her daughter because she calls Him Lord and addresses Him as “Son of David.” Yet, Jesus remains silent.
What is extraordinary is how this unknown hero of the faith pushes into the silence. She ignores the words of the disciples. She forsakes the wisdom of humankind and pushes into the abyss of silence.… Without fear and with courage she looks behind the silence. Helmut Thielecke says, “The silence of God and of Jesus is not one of indifference. It is the silence of higher thoughts.”
The greatest silence in the history of humankind took place on Golgotha when God the Father remained silent as His Son cried out, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” These words echoed and reverberated through the Kidron and Hinnom Valleys that surrounded Jerusalem. Slowly fading into deeper silence. But God lay hidden behind the silence, planning the demise of Satan, overcoming the inability of the Temple to forgive sin, and designing a plan to conquer sin and provide a way for humankind to know God personally. God raised His Son to life. A feat He planned to repeat for everyone who calls on the name of His Son.
Somehow, with eyes of faith, this Canaanite woman sees this God behind the silence as her only hope. She risks everything and pushes into the silence of God. She is rewarded. Her daughter is healed.—Craig Smith

IF YOU WORK FOR HIM, HE'LL TAKE CARE OF YOU!
If you love Him and delight yourself in Him and work faithfully to try to love others and help them, He'll do anything for you, anything! He'll supply all your need according to His riches in glory! (Phi.4:19). He'll even give you the desires of your heart, anything you want! (Psa.37:4).--Not only whatever you need, but your wants as well! It's the Word of God, it's the promises of God and you have no excuse for not claiming those promises!
Most of God's blessings and rewards are dependent upon your obedience and worthiness, your doing a good job faithfully. The Lord doesn't reward you for loafing, the Lord rewards you for faithful good work. The minute you start obeying and working, God will do His part without fail! He will bless!
May God help you to have faith to believe God and His guarantees and be willing to obey Him and work at it, to do everything you can do, so that God can do the things you can't do. Are you a good and faithful servant? If so, God will take care of you! The good and faithful servants enter into the joy of their Lord! Here and now and there and then!

I’m in love with two women
Can a man be in love with two women?
I love my new girlfriend and she loves me… But I am also in love with the mother of her son and she is in love with me too. I don’t want to lose either of them.
Should I tell them about each other?
Or should I wait until they discover about each other?
Maybe I can marry both. These things happen in Africa.
It is not that I'm greedy; I just like a lot while I enjoy the variety.
