How to raise $454 Million...

I'm being honest...
You skipped a round.
He FIRST announced in June of 2015 he would run for president.

Any investigations went on hold when he won the election and started back up after he left the White House.

How to raise $454 Million...

That's NOT what he says. Maybe the two of you should compare notes.

For the record, Trump was under investigation for fraud BEFORE he decided to run for the presidency.

How to raise $454 Million...

You don't know that.
Look at the subcontractors he cheated in business. Some took him to court and Trump being a master of postponing dates, had cases dropped when they filed for bankruptcy.

It's not about 45. It's about a businessman named Donald Trump and his Trump corporation.

His CFO went to prison.
His deal making attorney went to prison.
His accountants stated the books weren't accurate.
He over valued properties to secure better bank deals and under valued them come tax time.

Didn't your news feed report any of this?

jac, I don't know all the deals, but I believe there is a vetting process to do exactly what you are saying. They apparently turned their heads with Trump.
It was no secret he was profiting from products manufactured in China and Mexico. Conflict of interest?

It was suggested Putin is banking on Trump getting into power so he can finish what he started in Ukraine. Not a far-off thought.

Is COVID on the rise...

Medical evaluation/diagnosis to confirm it was related to a vaccine?

RE: So where's THE DUKE

Are you sure about that?
This comes from YOUR blog. Look up...

I smell a contradiction... I'll ask again. Are you sure about that?

I'm sure I can find a few other blogs where you and blue 'double-teamed' me with insults.

Should I re-post them here? Do you want to continue to claim innocence?



Regarding Willy, we go back more than 25 years. thumbs up
That would qualify telling you to 'butt-out' of a friendship you knew nothing about.
But... as most people here know that I'm a not vindictive person.

It's your blog, say what you want.

Please support your claim that I bad mouth CS regulars. The drama is so... funny actually. Really, it's important. You should be responsible for what you say. Who do I bad mouth?



I do my best to avoid you. I really do, but that seems to bother you actually. You enjoy getting under peoples skin then playing innocent.

Within this blog, you told snowlynx he's not welcome, argued with complained about Americans (on an American based site) globally swiped former MD members.

So much hate in ONE BLOG.
I feel justified for my blog about the level of hate in CS.

Downplay this in your mind and on retaliatory comments and following blogs.
Look in the mirror because the finger you are pointing it pointing directly at you.



You've been unfairly gunning for me for a long, long time.
What do I have to do to get out of your crosshairs?

RE: So where's THE DUKE

I figured you would comment on blue's blog... Please do some research.
Back up and RE-READ HIS LOCKED BLOG.
HERE IS WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED:
jac made a comment on blue's New word old meaning blog against Grandsiozzie that he decided to delete her comment and LOCK that blog.
Right after... blue wrote a blog titled: Locking a blog and his comment was directed at jac.
He said:
" Closed comments on my blog as an angry self righteous individual started throwing insults at another blogger for voicing their own opinion which I understand is everyone's right ? "

In defense, jac made the first comment to that blog.

I realize this all happened in the space of a few hours so there was NO WAY you would have known about why he locked his blog and wrote a followup.

But... you read my locked blog and ASSUMED blue's blog was about me, where it wasn't.

See how easily something so simple can be misconstrued?


How was your St. Paddy's Day?

Extreme hoarding...

My best advice that will save you hundreds of dollars and countless hours repairing/rebuilding...
Get a computer simulator first.

There are several brands to choose from, but I suggest RealFlight Evolution.
It's internet based (but also runs without being online) and comes with a modified transmitter/controller that plugs into any USB port.
The list price is $200USD

From time to time people show up with models that aren't supported with spare parts or inferior design. I always recommend Blade Helicopters from Horizon Hobby.
Model 230S Ready to Fly with a few spare batteries is less than $350.
It's tiny, but has a beginner mode that self-levels the helicopter. Perfect for training. If you are flying over grass and take a spill, often there is no damage.


Amazon link for the simulator:

Is COVID on the rise...

Was the vaccination prior to your first exposure to the virus?

Is COVID on the rise...

Designers often sit with clients for a few hours choosing colors and styles of furniture, carpet, accessories. Many have meetings the day or the day after clients arrive from vacation travel.
Another designer I spoke to was hit with COVID and it's 2 weeks later she's still having respiratory problems and just getting back to work.

The dyslexic bookkeeper...

In my business, I usually list sizes in inches.
Architectural drawings come to me in feet and inches.

For people not familiar with the conversion, a common mistake would be like this example:
3'-6" (three feet and 3 inches) that is 42" (forty-two inches)
I've seen cabinet makers miss that and accidentally cut material 36" (thirty-six inches)

A rigged Russian election... how is that possible?

Possibly... he's mentored others.

False accusations...

Already half-way into the kitchen renovation that was started I think around last Thanksgiving.

The hard part was done.
None of these units had tile into the back wall. They cheat and only go to the toe kick.
We pulled out the old cabinets and my partner filled the void with cement so the new cabinets (and stove) sit on a level floor. New base cabinets, granite countertop, sink and disposal.
We only disagree where she wants to save money and keep the old upper cabinets by painting the existing doors.
Different door style and 30" high. I'll surprise her with 42" high matching uppers, color and door style. Also, the layout will be tweaked for better storage.

I want to finish the project so I can show the kitchen and get a few remodeling jobs from it.

Soon...


As far as CS not being a healthy place... it's been like that for a long time.
Fact and not a complaint. I'll post what interests me and stay away from the toxic bloggers.

False accusations...

I shouldn't have to justify my actions but you are claiming dates like it's important.

When did I say 3 years... recently? Was it a typo?
We just discussed dates and the condo was bought in December 2018.
You do the math...
Renovation started right away and stopped when I ran out of funds, which was early 2019. We commuted day, night and weekends doing much of the work ourselves.
We switched gears to fix up the Miami house and it was sold in the first quarter of 2019 so we had no option but to move in. My Miami neighbor was kind enough to allow me to store a dozen plastic bins of 'stuff' until we made room in the patio.

Contrary to your suspicion, we are together lots of hours, sleep in the same bed, share the same space doing different hobbies. Nearly all my meals are prepared by her, with the exception of pizza, I'm eating healthy and my latest blood work shows that.
She wishes I would retire, loves that I'm getting back to music and supports my model aircraft hobby. We travel together, eat together, have life together. Nearly every decision is made together.

I sent ONE compliment... ONE to a fellow blogger who was in need of updating her photos and bleu struck an uncalled for first blow. Actually not the first, but the latest of many.

I enjoy writing. It keeps my mind focused. The fact that I can document things from trivial to significant in blogs is my thing. Listening to someones perspective different than mine.
Music for example... I haven't heard 80% maybe 90% of the videos posted on CS.

I talk to her about all the goings-on here including the personalities.
We talk politics, but her understanding of American government is limited. She gets her news in Chinese and often hears things before I do.

One day, I'll decide to wean off of CS. One day.
Life is good. So far, this year, I sold more than I did all of last year and a friend asked if I'm available to take on some projects for his company. Possible.
My cousin really wants to get the trio going. It won't be financially rewarding, at least not in the beginning. Rehearsals and learning songs does take some time.

False accusations...

Actually, I need to respond because you're making a false accusation.

Who said $38,000 ?
When I started shopping for a house 6 years ago in the Boca, Delray, Boynton areas, I couldn't afford a house in this area. The cheapest I found was around $375,000.
Townhouses were in the neighborhood of $250,000.

My only choice was to shop retirement condo communities and there are several here in-between some really pricey neighborhoods. At the time, the average condo was $65,000.
I waited a year and was lucky to get one the week it was listed at $72,000.

The vice-president of my association moved here 20 years ago and told me he paid over $116,000 then. I don't have all the facts, but there was a crash and prices dropped dramatically. He was one of the ones who were forced to stay or lose out financially. Some of the neighbors remember values under $20,000.
My neighbor who was in his late 80's told me his brother owned my unit and only came for holidays. I believe after the crash, many people bought several units and rented them out. I did a kitchen renovation for one guy who owned 4 of them.

All of Florida has been impacted by COVID. I've been checking condo prices recently and units in this development are in excess of $170,000. as is. The ones who renovated are asking much more.
My place is more than double... If I sell, where am I going to go?

This place has survived many hurricanes and I've got the original windows... most of the residents do. We are grandfathered in. So far, they haven't forced us to upgrade. The plastic strips holding the glass has dried and cracked. Some residents have shutters or impact windows, often that are seasonal and have no means to board up. I'm not planning to spend $20,000 for window upgrades.
The association had a great idea to replace a plastic strips on the first floor only... BS, I'm on the 2nd floor. It is what it is.

A friend of mine less than 2 miles away lives in a Misner community and in 6 years the value of his place has tripled. We talked about it at 1.75 million now. His HOA is in the $400/month range. Mine is now $694/month.

If I really retire, it would consider a few hours north in a small house without an association.

Nothing personal...

The area code 516 is in a part of New York City.
The are code in Palm Beach County (Boca Raton, West Palm Beach) is 561.

My New York clients often remind people to pay attention to the area code so they don't hear later when they missed a call.

The Hotel California lyrics trial...

Thanks for the tip. I'm reading a few stories now that have slightly different explanations.

It ain't over till it's over (who wrote that lyric?)


“As the victim in this case, Mr. Henley has once again been victimized by this unjust outcome,” Henley's lawyer Dan Petrocelli said. “He will pursue all his rights in the civil courts.”

False accusations...

Thanks for your comment.
This blog is about someone stalking me and making false comments in suspicion that I reported another member and had his profile closed.




As far as the amount of political blogs... a year ago there were lots of members contributing from both sides with more activity/comments for each. I've decreased my blog output. With the exception of sdarlagg posting a few political blogs each day, there has been a drop in overall blog activity political or not.

Amazing to note, my stalker blogged that 2 days went by where no one blogged.
Sounds like a no-win situation. Complain if you don't blog, complain if you do.
Actually, thanks for commenting on my chronic complainers blog!

Hints from you, they weren't... it was getting personal you said you would no longer comment on any of my blogs. There may have been personal issues that made you get frustrated with me. Sorry... hopefully, it's over now.
I don't recall arguing with other members on my blogs. They are entitled to voice their opinions. Many bear no true facts. Look around... from arguments are the ones who go to jail or get ejected. I don't consider stating facts or posting videos of newscasts, interviews or public statements made by political figures to be stirring the pot.

Again, thanks for your comment.


Membership on dating sites always has an ebb and flow. Overall activity is down right now with less new members. Someone said less activity was because CS introduced a method of upgrade. It's still a free site and while the upgrade message is on the opening page, I believe it doesn't detract from new membership.

I noticed new membership and activity on another has dropped to an all-time low. A year ago, there were several hundred online, especially nights and weekends, now it's less than 50.
Seasonal? It could be.

Oxy, I would like to think the rules here are even across the board with no favoritism for members who are liked more than others.

Unless someone is here naive enough to use their real name, it's a handle, like CBers.
Hey Big Daddy... you really screwed the goose this time!

Defamation of character to a 'handle' profile name would carry zero weight.

I'd get an unfair reputation. I'm trying to stay neutral.

Already he's the sheriff/best blogger/critic/blog monitor reads my blogs.
Sadly, he is unable to control his hate for me, but he's really not stupid and since his comments lash out only a few times a month, he's under the radar of administration.

Would the site moderator delete his profile? Doubtful.

Need cash? Who ya gonna call...

Yes... a few things come to mind.
I heard that Musk laughed about the request to loan money to Trump.
Maybe someone told hem Trump doesn't pay back loans?

Viktor is a perfect example of how to take over a country. Put all your people in place and change the laws. Got that Donald? Oh... he's ALREADY doing it.

Currently the RNC is funding much of Trump's legal bills... good for them.
Good for Trump.
What's the worst that could happen? They won't have funding to support Republicans lower on the totem-pole and without the support for elections, Democrats will have a better chance to take away some key positions.
Money=power

Back to Viktor... Should he or other foreign nationals lend/gift money to Trump could be a very dangerous difficult illegal compromised situation. While it's not campaign funds, someone going into an election who is suspected of stealing classified documents (yes, I know, it didn't get to court yet) and having meetings with foreign powers (friendly or otherwise) doesn't look good on his resume.

The real problem is, with all the facts, someone who is committed to supporting Trump, would do so at any level and that includes if he is found guilty of insurrection, conspiracy or for possession of classified documents.
He's already been found guilty of business fraud and rape with defamation of character.
Can we make it an even 4?
