So this one cretin of a user highcrest 777 decides to abuse me calling me an imbecile and unmannerly because I politely told him to seek someone closer to his age. The guy says he is 49 but looks 99.
Men need to respect women even when she declines his unwanted advances.
PS. Highcrest777 go sit by the window and wait for your retirement cheque instead of harassing women online.

Often... maybe too often, when you have people commenting on a blog who have a difference of opinion to other comments on the blog, will say something to inflame another person... be it the OP or another commenter.
Sometimes it's intentional or sometimes harmless words that are are misconstrued.
Political orientation, religion, ethnic background are hot topics where one person will 'strike the first blow' in an attempt to start a confrontation, often with name calling or words intended to put someone down. Usually, the first blow won't be the last and whenever the opportunity exists, it's like pulling off a scab and allowing the wound to bleed again... striking another blow!

Guitarist Jeff Beck (1944-2023) released an album in in 1975 titled Blow by Blow.

One of my favorite cuts was the first song on the 2nd side titled "Cause We've Ended as Lovers"

Here he is in a live nightclub performance:

For several days I really wanted to have mangosteens. So on the weekend I went to a store and bought about 3.5 kilos. Why so many, you might ask. Well, I simply wanted to have bigger chances to get the best. However, most of the time I couldn't be sure I would get good ones, let alone the best, as I could only see them from the outside. I spent some time to select ones which looked good with hope that I would get the good ones.

Guess what?

I chose a pretty one

But that one was rotten.

I chose another pretty one from the outside
It turned out to be good.

And surprisingly enough, this one looked not so pretty but was actually very good.

Once I peeled off their skin, I couldn't return them to the store. Whether I like it or not, I gotta accept what I got. I could only blame myself for not being a good "judge".

Hmm...
To me choosing a partner is somehow similar to that. The big difference is that you have to be a good person to get a good partner. If you think your partner/wife/husband was a bad person, don't you dare claiming you're good!.

And to me my Giant is good man so I guess I am not that bad, eh?


PS
I was lucky to have many more good mangosteens than the bad ones. Although I still couldn't judge them from their looks, it's worth spending time selecting..

What do I do when I have writer's block?
I stare at the screen and it stares back.
What shall I write? About my job? Nah...what a boring job. Nothing interesting. Go to work at 6.40am and come back at 3pm but at times 5pm.

About my life? Nothing interesting too. My life is not full of drama nor calm and smooth sailing.

Oooops!! now I have started writing.



Maybe I should write a diary.

Do you have any strong life principles and beliefs that you do not violate under any circumstances? a kind of personal code of ethics. Do you want to share it here?
I believe that this set of principles and values shows who you are and who you are not.

Joseph was born and raised in New York City. He had a job with the government and a few years after he retired, Joe decided to sell his house and move to Florida.
Not long after, Joe started worrying about his health and took his first colonoscopy at the age of 75. They found cancer and he went through surgery. He was lucky as they removed the cancer and he needs no additional treatment.
Joe was having issues with a swollen thyroid gland and went into surgery to have it checked out. Under anesthesia, they were unable to control his blood pressure and stopped in the middle of surgery. He remained in the hospital for testing and found that 2 arteries near his heart were blocked by 80%
Open-heart surgery would have been the normal procedure, but since he already had one issue, 2 stents were the least invasive and best thing.
He's recovering and should be out of the hospital this week.
All things considered... I wish him the best and reluctant to celebrate at the 'all you can eat' sushi restaurant. Pizza may also be out of the question.

Some say its hard to make good money. That is not true at all, its incredibly easy to make lots of money and fast. All you got to do is sell your soul. No soul, easy money.

Selling crack.
Human trafficking.
Pimp or a hooker.
Robberies.
Scamming.
Making meth.

As you can see, there are many ways to make big easy money, if you got no soul. Money is what everyone lives and dies for so everything got a price including your soul (and your organs on the black market).

Yes, Merlot has disabled the comments, so here I am giving him a real answer to the question.
You just wait and watch they get screwed up by their own people.
It is as simple as that. This is what some people from the West stand up for, a bunch of thieves and corrupt arseholes. Don't say we didn't warn you from the very start, people.
If not ready to accept the reality nobody can help you!






And one more answer, regarding a country attracting back its own people.
We have the same scheme here, We want our people back and working for our country.
No mysteries or bullshite theories to be chewed up by the CS experts.
I will not engage in endless discussions of facts that are more that clear and real already.
Thank you!
