A return to sanity

So I am once again back, sick of the crap 💩 on Farcebook. The inability to convey clear, virtually unmitigatedly free thought screams there.

I have missed coherent ideas from others and presenting my own coherent thoughts to others.

Not that there is necessarily a GREAT deal of exchange of intellectual/emotional thought on here, but it is peaceful, almost like a diary, an uninterrupted flow…

From me to you.

I will need a while to get re-familiarized with visual presentation, pictures, etc. here. Please be patient with me.

A few autobiographical facts: I am 66 and am a retired journalist who has had a stroke. I can no longer drive. I have 3 kids, plus now a grandchild.

I live with my son and his dog. He just finished a course and has lived here for several months with his dog, but he will move out in a few months.

I have travelled to 40-45 countries, including India, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, Turkey, Greece, what used to be Yugoslavia (now Bosnia and Herzogovenia), Hungary, Bulgaria, what used to be West Germany and East Germany (now simply Germany), Belgium, Britain and others.

I have also been to many countries in my former job as a sportswriter ( I had to retire when I had a stroke several years ago) including Finland, Argentina, Spain and all throughout the northeastern United States and most of Canada except for Prince Edward Island, Nunavut, Yukon and the Northwestern Territories.

Now I do very little. I have been divorced for many years.

Test. Does this thing still work?

 After many years away getting my brain fried by idiot Trump supporters on Farcebook , I am back. It has been many years. Which says something exceptionally important: the relative sanity of blogging on Blogger is a medium I never should have left. I have ditched FB. My blog was called Snippets from Spaceship Orion. My last blog entry was about a lovely female I met in Neepawa, in western Manitoba. I have not seen Lis for years. I am a retired, divorced journalist from Winnipeg, a city of almost one million people in south-central Manitoba, in the centre of Canada. I am not far from North Dakota, Minnesota and Montana. I have had a stroke. I have two grown kids, two nephews (with another on the way). I am the oldest of 2 brothers and 3 sisters I will need a few days to re-familiarize myself with the technical workings of Blogger — how to make bold-face text, how to import and place pictures, how to add color, etc. Remember, I have had a stroke. I am 70. One thing I know? I am ...

Watching Trump destroy the world

America is going crazy. And Canada could be fucked. Trump is openly and brazenly going into countries and simply taking their resources (in this case, Venezuela’s oil). How long will it be before Trump’s goons March north to take Alberta’s oil? Or oil in the Arctic? Or the potash in Saskatchewan? The lumber in B.C.? The nickel in Sudbury? The aluminum in Quebec? Trump is a rampant DICKTATOR who must be stopped NOW. He is ignoring Congress. The Democrats are proving useless.  We need people power.

Deadly Dating sites

 I have had the recent incredibly disappointing experience of sampling the wide variety of dating sites out there. And I am undoubtedly underwhelmed. There are sites for the disabled and those with sickness or conditions, such as stroke, which I have had and recovered from. There are many others, most of which I have also tried, according to my personal preferences, that they are free, that they are popular, or what-have you. Rather than list them all, suffice to say they include a variety of local, national and international sites. Some are free. Some charge. ALL are RIP-OFFS rife with scammers, cheats, men pretending to be women, women pretending to be men, freaks being freaks, etc. I have been an attempted FRAUD VICTIM on these sites DOZENS of times. They have not gotten a penny, because I know how to stop them. I am theoretically EXACTLY what  they are looking for: I am in my 60s, have a bit of money, and am looking for love and sex. Isn’t every man? Some sites make a big ...
