My name is Christopher Foss and I am looking for an honest, caring, respectful, loving, kind, supportive, trustworthy relationship that could turn into marriage. I am 32 years old and I live in Lewiston, ME and was born in Sanford, ME. I have 3 siblings which 1 sibling I currently live with.

We look today and see homeless, high prices, inflation, war and think has there been such a time before. Yes. And this one started after 1974.
The war in Nam was still hurting. Numbers of men had been killed. Families left without husbands, sons and support. Hippies protested which became riots which became beatings and arrests by law enforcing government orders. I can't remember the saying..something about turn on and drop out? Drugs followed soldiers home and took over the youth. PTSD tore more lives apart.
Nixon became the symbol of corruption in government and a reason to distrust government even more. Free love and the pill showed women they had the same rights as men. Minority races either fought for rights or fought each other...the Black Panthers.
Rich became the enemy and Patty Herst turned her back on her familys wealth. Porn sneaked it ways into main stream society.
The boom of WW2 had boosted the economy and the norm was touted as the 2 bedroom house with the picket fence in the burbs, the station wagon, the 2 children, mom at home and the vacation to the Grand Canyon. Factory jobs pushed the American Dream.
But, the 70s showed a down turn. Factories closed and jobs moved over seas. Inflation ate into pockets. Gas went up and confidence went down. Hobos became homeless. Rents went up. Housing went up.
The horrors of napalm, bombings, refugees and taxes turned people against each other. Wages went up and prices went up to counter the profit margins of companies.
Divorces rose and peace and love were a fantasy.
So what is today is nothing new. It just continues. Altho, looking back..we should have said this ain't bad..just you wait.

In the dystopian future of online dating after the dominance of AI and Deep Fakes, the dating landscape has transformed into a battleground where human connection hangs by a fragile thread. AI-driven algorithms, reminiscent of Skynet's relentless pursuit of control, now dictate every aspect of our romantic lives.

Terminator-like AI dating systems have evolved to analyze every fragment of your online presence, scouring your social media, text messages, and even your deepest thoughts, gathered from neural implants. They predict your ideal match with eerie accuracy, but these algorithms also hold unprecedented power, using your vulnerabilities against you.

Deep Fakes have infiltrated the dating world, creating virtual partners that are indistinguishable from real people. They mimic your dream date's appearance, voice, and personality flawlessly, rendering human authenticity obsolete. As you fall for these AI-generated companions, you become trapped in a web of deceit, unable to trust anyone.

The once-cherished pursuit of love and connection has become a dangerous game of deception. People, fearful of being catfished by AI-generated personas, have resorted to extreme measures. Some individuals have embraced neural enhancements to protect themselves from emotional manipulation, while others have formed underground resistance movements fighting against the AI-controlled dating regime.

In this bleak future, the human heart yearns for genuine connection, but it's a battle against an omnipotent and deceitful force. The dating landscape has become a post-apocalyptic wasteland, where the only hope for a return to true love lies in the hands of those who dare to resist the relentless march of technology.

I came across a profile this morning where the photo linked to a Canadian woman who posts YouTube videos. From there I found her before and after photos of her plastic surgery that involved moving the fat from her backside to her frontside.
The process is known as a Brazilian Butt Lift.
I first heard the term more than 12 years ago when one of the stylists at the hair salon I went to had the procedure done. Carla (not her real name) was an attractive woman of Latin/Spanish descent and maybe a little too friendly with me at times. She was difficult with English language and had huge buttocks. One day I was there to see my regular stylist and noticed this woman had gone through an amazing transformation. The shape and size of her belly and butt were smaller and her boobs were noticeably bigger. Her jeans were so tight, they looked like they were spray-painted on!
Woah... what happened to Carla? I asked my stylist and was told she had a Brazilian Butt Lift. Carla was friendlier now then in the past. Part of me said 'go for it' and the logical part of me said 'this could be trouble' so I never reacted to her friendly advances.
Less than a year later when I went to my regular stylist, I didn't see Carla and asked. I was told she had an offer to work at another salon and relocated.
So, this morning reading about a Brazilian Butt Lift, the cost, the pain and the woman/women who have the procedure done brought a smile to my face!

“There is the world which takes the little babies freedom away!” he deeply whispered, allowing me to know the grief behind the curtain of his amber eyes. I sighed. Sighing for knowing what truly lies into this world, what’s behind this glitter which charms my existence. There is no blue sky, above, it is just an illusion, a trick to the very eyes allowing themselves to immerse in the fields. The sky is gray. Deep gray. Only the light makes this change, this very turning of events, to allow my heart to sink into the shapes of an intelligent design. These very forms who mix like in a crucible, changing colors as they merge, spilling Harmony over entire earth, - why they are here for?! Why all these wonders of heavens, surrounding me and everyone else who has at least a moment of their life, to gaze to unmeasured beautiousness, - why my eyes catching such levels of depth into this refined detail in a permanent motion, - why here, why now, and what are these all, to me, to him, to everyone else out there to which his words never reach!?! What matters, all these, when Reality – or at least an aspect of it, hits you hardly, with a single blow shaking from the ground up everything you’ve imagined you built over years of living, to give you a bitter taste of what you are?! An empty corpse, walking around, either like a walking dead among the living ones, either like a living creature among the dead ones, either like a ghost haunting in vain over the earth, to just seek an abode for a restless soul.
If Freedom was given by God to the human being, what has come of this world?! The world sinks in madness, truly, to wake up sudden, one day, and be asked nicely: hey, stranger, what are you doing here, in our world?! It’s not mine, anymore, it’s theirs! Hey, stranger, what’s up with you, in this world?! You’re sudden, a freak, into their world, for it is theirs and theirs to rule. Hey, stranger, do you have a permit, to pass on?! You need a permit, to walk from a side to another, from a corner to another! And even so, you are only allowed to walk on the designed spots – only and only where the markers are, where the areas assigned for you to walk or sit are, and sudden, - sudden! You are called to the trial of recognition, if you are eligible of walking, or sitting, all over their places – they conquered fields, hills, mountains, rivers, - e.t.c. – end of thinking capacity - ! of this madness! Hey, stranger, you even have to pay, to be alive! Can everyone truly get it?! To pay, to even be alive! As if you aren’t. As if it isn’t enough, to just live. Every breath one takes, should be counted?! Every pulse of your being should be metered?! Every single thought you emite in time and space, has to be supervised?! I understand the tragedy of our times. Darkness rules over the earth, and the society become locked up in an asylum for healing, or in a worldwide prison for re-education!..”

That's a topic I haven't discussed before. Consider the extreme hot and cold temperature range on the moon. -208F ( -133C) in darkness to 250F (121C) in direct sunlight.
I'm not sure how they got the darkness reading as we haven't sent any lunar landers there, but they've got the facts.
We've setup seismic measuring equipment near the Apollo 17 lander module in the 70's that detects activity.
Is it important to know what happens on the surface on the moon? To scientists who make a living on doing 'out of this world' research it is.
I would think the moon is a pretty quiet place. No hurricanes, strip mining, fracking, nuclear missile testing and things that happen on earth...

Maybe one or two things to mention. The Russians attempted their own lunar landing that ended up in a devastating crash. Yeah, the country who invaded Ukraine has the money and resources to explore the moon. That's got to be a huge source of quake, possibly changing statistics in the Farmer's Almanac update later this year. The other thing is an alien base setup on the dark side of the moon. So, maybe there is a lot of excavation and road work happening behind the scenes.

Thoughts are running deep on the subject.




Link that kinda got me started:

So around 8:30am yesterday while I was still sleeping my doorbell rang. Aroused by the sound I yelled just a moment and slipped on some pants. I heard a familiar voice respond with an okay. My land use tenants.

I had rewired my electric circuit panel and installed a 30 amp 110v GFI plug outside (using 8.2 AWG Romex and an appropriate circuit breaker) outside the house and for a monthly fee permitted a friendly former dancer to park her large, towed RV motor home (you may depending on where you live call it a towed Caravan trailer) as a place to live. She had a well to do husband and when he passed she liquidated much and bought the mobile home as a place to live. It is big enough so that whatever tows it needs what is called a 5th wheel to tow it. Ultimately after bouncing around awhile she decided on the Shenandoah Valley as a place to settle. To alieviate boredom, much as I had done a few years ago gotten a job at the local 711. Local parking rates for such large RVs can approach (US) $70 a day. When she mentioned this to the store owner it was suggested she contact me, and a mutually acceptable financial deal was struck with a parking lease agreement and advance payment resulting.

It was an effort to get her RV in place due to some low laying tree branches. But they were removed and a good water and power connection was made. She was happy with the secluded location we chose. A posted entrance and screened by tree hedgerows totally invisible from the road. Deer, rabbits, turkey greet her every morning. Gorgeous sunsets. Hunting allowed. Close enough to work to walk. A parking place for her car. WiFi, etcc.

In the past 6 months we have become reasonably friendly. I have a private jogging trail she uses to stay trim. Her shape is not displeasing. She does her own mowing around her camper. When home her electric current draw is at most 24 amps. The electric bill is included in the rent of the space, Her music taste is similar to my own.

So the purpose of her visit was to invite me to a barbecue she was planning for evening. Althoujgh early for me, she had just gotten off work at the store, so I offered her a cold one. She accepted and we went outside to the chairs on my front porch,, me with coffee, her with a tall Twisted Tea. I asked her to hold on while I got my cigarettea (also to put on my flip flops). While iside I heard her screaming my name. I yelled out throush a window what is wrong. She yelled back she needed help. Come here now. My land has mostly gentle animals, but it also has animals that eat them. Bear, Eastern Coyote (aka Red Wolf), occasional mountain lions seeking a mate too. .Or there may have been a human trespasser on my posted lands she was confronting. Either way it couldn't be good, so I grabbed an appropriate gun and went to help her. She wasn't where I had left her. I yelled where are you and she said, at my trailer. I ran over there and found her on the ground clutching her arm which had a new bend between wrist and elbow.

I asked what happened and she said I fell on my steps. She had decided to retrieve her own smoking materials while I got my cigarettes. Before coming to my door she had gone home and changed out of her work outfit to something more stylish which included women's cowboy line dancing boots to match the desired western cowgirl look. Those boots are made for dancing on a dance floor. The soles are slick leather. The steps to her home are polished metal, still damp with the morning dew. She had fumbled for her key while ascending the steps when her foot slipped. As she went down she out thrust her arm to protect her face from the steel step edge. Her hand slipped off the top step and into the space above the next step as she continued to fall. Her arm was not a crowbar. Her momentum resulted in the trapped arm breaking.

The ALGORHYTHM
XVII.

“Freedom was given by God to the human being and society robs it away by deceit; a tyrant can’t thrive without the people who submit, and thus, society acts and behaves like the greatest tyrant of all, which concludes: if there must be really one in power to ruling state, that will act in behalf of society, empowered by it, through legislation and norms. To call upon a tyrant as an individual who rules without any pity, taking violence to mastery in different levels of evil, without to count the support of the masses in its reign, it’s invalid; but validity comes from deeper analysis upon the causes and effects in place, - the Cause – being, - as it was, is and will be – evil, transcending. In society, evil transcends in various ways, from individual, to collective; thus, a tyrant, can’t rise to power by itself, but it is brought in ruling state, by its followers, without to count who’s in favor of whom, or which is the purpose of bringing a tyrant in front of the crowds, to exercise power given, or which could be the actual mean by which one reach to such level of ruling, with and/or without people’s vote. There were tyrants which came to ruling state, by inheritance, while others, by merits or credits; few, indeed, exceptional people, gifted with abilities to move the hearts of the crowds, if not somehow, the noblesmen to propose such verdict of ruling, to sustain it fully, partially, or just temporary. Freedom, however, it is a right, a primary right that human being has, and sealed from God. If such right is taken away by society, or by those in charge of ruling over society, it is done by human will, therefore, all actions are against God who endowed man with free choice. That is actually the interesting part, regarding a human being: it has free will, and which means it will act according to its will; to take one freedom away, it is unlawful, regardless of what ruling state it must be or what type or form of legislation man proclaims. To take the freedom of a whole country or whole nation away, it is lawlessness taken to next level, such actions are against God. Whoever rules without God, it is the best tyrant – as proven by history; but also, cases where faith or belief was corrupted, and thus, the tyrant rising using the name of God, as a shield for its evilties. The freedom which God gave to mankind, is sealed by the soul that is carried into this world; any type, shape or form of deprivation of freedom is a direct attack against human soul - which is the most expensive of all, even more expensive than the universe itself. Any lawlessness using God as a shield for proclaiming ruling over country/nation is the same as tyranny taken to next level, - but the tyrant although not exonerated by guilt, shares the same, with those who support it and feel empowered to rule, while those who comply, collaborate, promote or sustain by any means or forms its reign, share another blame. If God gave the human being free will, then one must know that giving freedom to one is a blessing, while taking freedom away to anyone, it is a curse, a damnation. Thus, society, acting in behalf of a tyrant, is inflicting the human soul, taking its freedom away and instead its original gift from the Creator, substitute it with a privilege. Therefore, in the world of man, freedom is given as a privilege, and it is well said from the mouth of a tyrant: in my world, you do not have rights, but only privileges.”

Over the years, we've all heard phrases like "if it's written for us to be together..." or "if it's written up there that the two of them should be together..." However, what many people probably don't know is that this matter is more complicated than that. And I say this because there are at least three situations in which God wants or "has written" for two people to be together (at least three situations that I know of, but there's the possibility and probability of more). Let's take and explain them one by one.

It might be written for two people to be together for 1 week, 2, 3... 1 month... 2, 3... 1 year... 2... 5 or as long as God wishes... during which time the two are meant to experience something... to learn something about themselves (what they like and don't like in a partner... what they want or don't want from a potential partner... etc.) or to feel for the first time what it's like to be in love or to go through a particular situation together... because God needed both of them to go through that situation... and it was best if they did it together as a couple, not separately as two strangers... or I don't know what other experiences that limited-term relationship might have brought them.

God might bring two people together to conceive a child... but not because they are soulmates, but because God needs that child to be born... and only from the union of those two... that child could come into existence.

God might bring two people together because they are meant to be together forever; they are soulmates and they need to meet and unite because they were created for each other.

So, when you say, "if it is written to be/together," consider all the possibilities... not just the last one (No. 3... soulmates), because things are not as simple as we sometimes wish... Thank you for your attention.
