Sadly I see the Blog section has gone the way of Magazine of old.
A few instigators who remain solely focused on bashing our current President, our Govt and the actions of us Citizens.
Claiming Right Wing exaggerated, unfounded ideas as the only way to fix almost everything. Dictating how we the general population should conduct ourselves based solely on their strict archaic Religious beliefs, many of which they fail to follow themselves.
Including your choice of who to marry and how to conduct your personal sex life.
They claim our Govt has grown too big and interferes with the rights of the people. Also that our fairly elected President is intent on bringing down our American freedoms. These are clearly actions and words of Religious Anarchists bent on disrupting the Govt and to rule how we the people conduct our private lives.
Remaining close minded to any true and reasonably justified defense of their false accusations. They then single out and berate anyone they feel can prove them wrong with facts and true media reports. Their disruptive tirades get them the attention they crave which they are unable to get on their own with truths.
I no longer will read anymore Posts whose purpose is to confuse, undermine or dictate my lifestyle choices and the actions of the President and Government. I feel it weak minded to continue playing into their hands and allowing my buttons to be pushed.
As a Veteran I defend this Country. As a Patriot I protest these outrageous attacks against our President, Government and Citizens.
SFF should not allow biased,inflammatory Posts in mainstream Blog
They're only purpose is to disrupt the peace/thoughts of others.
Political and Religious type Posts should have their own section.

BIGFOOT, GHOSTS AND UFOs

I'm not sure if any of these subjects have been posted in Blog.
I'm interested, as I'm sure many others may be in hearing of anyone else's first hand accounts of Bigfoot, Ghosts or UFOs.
Of course this will open the portals for those that like to gossip, ridicule and raise their eyebrows at anyone perceived to be a bit Abby Normal,(Young Frankenstein), but so be it.
Monster Quest broadcasts weekly accounts from eyewitnesses of many supposed Bigfoot sightings and encounters. Photos and tracks are often shown as well as computer generated graphics as examples.
Ghosts as depicted in the show Ghost Hunters/International are investigated Worldwide and documented or proven otherwise.
UFO/USO research is aired weekly as well as in many Documentaries.
That leaves Me to ask Dear Readers of your OWN first hand experience/encounters/knowledge of any of these Phenomenon.
I will post my own experiences following anyone else's replies.
Anyone having experienced "Missing Time" may also post.
Since having my own encounters, I strongly believe that although not proven Scientifically, all of these Phenomena do exist.
Will the first brave witness please sign in.

12/21/2012 The END Or Meaningless?

Will 12/21/2012 be Mankind's end and possibly the Earth too?
Is it fact or fiction or just makes for good reading and movies? Does this sound like the Global Warming scare of 10 yrs ago or was that just the beginning? The Ancient references, beliefs and prophesies, up unto recent times have all predicted a cataclysmic end to Earth and Mankind. Are we to believe the Bible, Koran, Mayans, Cayce, Nostradamus,the alignment of the Planets in our Solar System? Should we just go on our merry way leaving all the rumors and fears behind as we did when Global Warming was pooh poohed back when?
I've up to now watched the movie 2012 > 3 1/2 times,and now again tonight. I hate to sound like Chicken Little but can they all be wrong, including the Bible? I don't want to say I told you so as we are hurled into space in a Global upheaval but I don't want to put my head in the sand either. I posted a couple years back "The End Dream" about a dream I woke up from that was very much like what they've predicted. The first time I saw 2012 the Movie, it brought that dream back into sharp focus and had a profound effect on me. Call me what you like,I'd much prefer You're right than the End. What's your take on this, a fable, pipe dream, figment of my and many others imaginations? Or did I take way too many drugs in my youth? Does all this sound true or remains to be proven wrong on 12/22/2012?
just saying(*c_*)

Alone Again Naturally

Hi Kids, welcome to another lonely Christmas Holiday. To those of you that find yourselves like me, alone on XMAS my Heart goes out to you. At times I found it so difficult to choose the right gifts that I couldn't wait for XMAS to be over. The frenzied, insane shoppers elbowing their way down crowded aisles. Threatening and dragging screaming, begging children past the toys. Rushing along hellbent for the marked down clothing racks, no thank you. This is my 3rd XMAS that I find myself home alone. It was bad enough to go through Father's day and my Birthday, including the traditional Holidays where one usually finds themselves seated at a large family gathering celebrating. Sadly those days are over and not to return again in this lifetime.
Of course one could make up for being sad and alone by going out partying New Years but, who at our age is making a big splash at a Holiday gala these days
Some of my Family members make it their business to remember me in my loneliness and call with Well Wishes and invitations to stop by their homes... I think they do so as part of a suicide watch
I remember last year on XMAS eve, I couldn't bring myself to go to bed until 5 a.m. because I knew when I awoke in the morning, I was going to be alone on XMAS and dreaded going through that again. Sure enough, I awoke to an empty quiet house until that is, My Sister called to wish me Happy Holidays. She also took the time to scold me for not coming to the XMAS eve family get together they have each year. I had to remind Her that living alone had left me far from a festive lets be merry mood. As She began to argue with me, I hung up on Her. I know, not a nice thing to do but under the lousy circumstances, I wasn't in a mood to explain or defend myself. This year I'm a little stronger and able to go along with the flow better. I felt I would reach out and touch base with the other lost, lonely souls out here. I'm reminded that there are others suffering and a lot sadder than I. If that's so for you, Happy Holidays. Let's be thankful we won't have to feel this way again for another year
All The Best, Charles

They're Everywhere They're Everywhere

They're everywhere alright, Feral Cats that is. A group called Alley Cats Allies has been caring for the Feral Cats surviving wild in the area of the Atlantic City Boardwalk. How I came to find this out is because when I moved here my rental came with two female Feral cats, a smallish Black and a Calico. I fed them for 6 months before being able to pet them and then only at feeding time. The larger Calico was allowed to stay nights in the sunroom at the rear of the house when it was obvious She was soon to deliver Her first litter. I was awakened in the middle of the night by a kitten mewing loudly... Scrambling in circles like Mr Bean for the first minute I was abruptly awakened before I was awake. Upon entering the nursery
I could see and easily hear an orange and white faced newborn, crawling blindly across the floor, dragging it's placenta! OMG right, that's what I said too OMG! I returned to the kitchen and ran hot water over a pair of kitchen scissors, duh. I then caught up to Pepper as he eventually was named. I gently cut the cord, OMG I cut the cord and placed him in the Baby Box I had prepared.
I then spot the new Mother sitting under the table, looking bewildered at a little black kitten lying motionless nearby minus placenta! I crawled under the table and reached out to pick it up, striking my head and scaring the other female scrambling for the door like She had seen enough and wanted out. The kitten was cold and wet as I picked it up thinking, OH No She was neglected and died. As I backed out from under the table I brought it up close to my mouth and blew softly into it's face... Nothing happened, I tried again this time with a stronger warmer airflow, albeit middle of the night breath Slowly a front paw moved and I continued to blow as I brought Bella (she looked like a Bat) over to the Baby Box to be dried and nursed by MoM.
No sooner had I turned my attention the Mother had picked up Pepper and put him on the floor. I quickly retrieved them both and placed them all comfortably together, making sure She focused on and began to help dry the little girl. Just as we were all calm and settled, MoM gives a little moan and out pops another kitten with luggageOMG I'm repeating over and over again in amazement. I knew it was useless to expect the new MoM to trim things up herself so I took the scissors and after a quick snip, I placed this little Tortie in an empty parking space... I sighed in relief that I had been awakened just in time and was able to play Mash Oh No, there She goes again with that moan and yup, out pops another family member, SonnyBoy, a Male suited all in Black. I took a little off the top on Him and placed him gently next to Mom who by now looked exhausted, as was I, and in Awe!
Fast forward two months and after getting Tortie and Pepper adopted out of an $18 classified ad, I discovered the Black female had Her first litter outside somewhere. Eventually only two came out from under the house where She had had them...After a month of feeding these new kids on the porch, I can barely step outside to feed them without the two youngest Feral kittens running away. Don't look now Folks but both of these Feral Mothers are again Pregnant, yup OMG time again huh?
So in My attempt to take advantage of low cost spaying, it was then I discovered the many Organizations and groups that care for and rescue Ferals. I found out although I was a Senior and not receiving much in the way of SS, I still had to be on some kind of Govt assistance to qualify for a low cost $10 spaying fee program. Not being aided in any Govt programs I am ineligible for the low cost spaying. Meanwhile these promiscuous Girls are both going to POP soon! That's where You guys come in,
ANYONE WANT TO ADOPT A KITTEN, FREE? I'm making a list

Sad But Good GoodBye

Today is the beginning of the end of a rough time for me. Our marriage has finally ended and everything after this should be easy, yowser. I'm in denial or dreaming huh, either way it ain't happening like that. No happy ending here, boy does not lose and get girl back. Girl's back, that's exactly the last thing I saw of her, her back as she wheeled away her large red suitcase, heading for the bus to NYC. In a way it is a relief to have this moment finally come and she's gone. I relived this scenario over and over for the past few weeks and it's made me miserable. I had endured being apart from her a few days each week in trial runs as she made several trips to the City the past couple months, taking care of the move's logistics. Now though, this is really her final exit. Strangely, call me crazy, in a way it is a relief. I've had way too much drama and stress over this and it will either work out for the better for both of us or sadly it is finally and tragically the end of our marriage, we're beat and we both need out. For the Love of money, She chose to live in NYC to earn more dough to send home to China. She says she will only return home here to me once every week or two. Dividing her only day off between her son and myself. None of this scenario should come as a big surprise, it is just this type sad MO that we read of and were warned about in the very beginning of our Internet Journey. It's a risk taken by most Foreign guys marrying out of their country. There is always gonna be that odds on gamble but who can argue with Love? May I have the blindfold now please CHARLES

A House Is Not A Home

The last few months have been hell for both of us. Whether a preventable failure in communication or meant to be as Destiny. I've watched our Love for each other slowly fade to empty eyes, quiet sad faced shadows passing in a house no longer a home. The joy in spending time together is now no more than a casual glance and brief notice of each others coming and going. She has been spending 2-3 days a week in New York, preparing her next house that's not a home for herself. Just what I need, more time alone for me to sit and wait, wondering when the rattle of the key occurs, like the condemned on their last dawning. Something ugly this way comes. Little consolation kite flying, solo walks on the beach and bike rides. They've just become reminders of the sad loneliness created, no longer are they sweet times shared. .Greetings of good morning and good night are a thing of the past as well as eye contact or casual conversation. Kind of a chitty chill about it if you know what I mean. The pendulum swings in anxiety for that last day, coming soon to a house is not a home near you. That final brief moment locked in time of our last farewell. Mind you, that little ta ta Dear Reader is not gonna be like one of the many goodbyes endured when I had to leave her behind in China. No it's not that teary eyed sad goodbye that lovers share when forced apart. Not that last kiss and brief whispered "I Love You" or that look deep into her eyes saying "don't worry honey, I'll be back". Not one of those lovers never say goodbye looks, nope not even close. There's no looking back now Kids. The days of wishful thinking are over. Moments in time cannot be altered only left as created and acted upon. Who could imagine after the piles of legal documents, Foreign and Domestic, dough and time spent, months endured apart and all the while turning bureaucratic cartwheels.pffft You might think all that would be remembered as effort justly made for Love, DUH (somebody smack me please). The aggravation of getting to the States together was painless compared to these sad times. A hard fought long struggle for naught as defeat digests this 5 yr relationship and marriage. Depending on the chill factor around here,there's no telling how friendly, sad or casual the grand exit will be. Knowing Chinese Way, I think more like a tiptoed, back pedal, suitcase in hand run for the bus kind of exit, with or without fond farewells exchanged Seems these days that maybe even Love is date stamped. It no longer has a long shelf life like the old days but rather runs it's course, reaches an expiration date, sours and expires to be continued.... CHARLES

The Writing Is On The Wall

You get the message that it's the beginning of the end as you get the silent treatment and one word answers. When you start a conversation you get just a blank stare like you weren't there. She has been sleeping in the spare bedroom, no more touching, hugging or compliments exchanged, just the Wish You Weren't Here attitude, day and night. This chit is getting old fast, faster than I'm getting old even. Who wants or needs a mate that excels at inflicting pain and sadness and only brings tension and fear into your life? I am beyond caring what happens at this point, seems I already know the outcome and I'm ready to deal with it. I have been on pins and needles and walking on eggshells for months. Now, it is time I looked after myself, I'm the only one that cares for me. I've been neglecting my inner feelings long enough while busy trying to salvage our relationship and just worrying about what makes Her happy. This all began when I found hidden a substantial amount of money earmarked to be sent to her family. This is not a big deal, we always sent money to her relatives, its just the manner of secrecy that I did not approve of. I was upset about her not trusting me and she was upset that I violated her privacy. Privacy takes place in the bathroom not in a marriage or am I old fashioned? This is all my own fault, partly for snooping also I allowed our feelings to cool off as we distanced ourselves from one another. My attempts now at reconciliation or rekindling our Love are too little too late, the damage has been done, She is unreachable. Maybe it is the best thing for both of us to get free and find our own happiness although it is not what I truly want.
Guess I am still getting what I deserve for the heartache I left behind in my past relationships..I hope tomorrow brings love back into my life, I need to have it, share it and live like love is what we are about. This is not love, it is just us staying together out of fear and convenience until something better comes along. The fuse is lit, soon things will pop and after the dust clears life will look and feel better. Why settle for less?

Letter To Aliens

My fellow American wannabees. I know this is a strange way of reaching out to you but perhaps if you see things the way some of us do you will know why we have lost patience with you and your way of doing things. We understand you are poor and lead a very hard life in your Country but there are also many other poor people in the World that want to come here too. You do know that before anyone is allowed to enter they must wait in line patiently, fill out paperwork, pay fees and give us their real names and addresses. If they follow through on all our requirements we issue them a VISA. Eventually most of them learn how to speak English and get SS cards, jobs, driver's licenses, auto insurance, serve in our Armed Forces, you know all the things one is supposed to do when they want to play by the rules. Now here is where our problem lies, aaahh for some reason you folks south of the border don't want to do things our way. You want to pay job recruiters that lie to you and rip you off. You then trust coyotes to help you cross the river or the dessert and hopefully not leave you locked up in some overheated trailer or turn you loose in some back alley in the middle of the night and leave you on your own. Once you do make it here you have now become our problem because you are here Illegally and with no language skills, no required ID for jobs,drivers license, housing or Medical needs. We also have a problem with you not wanting to learn to speak English, pay taxes, or Honor our Flag. Do you want our money only to send home to your families and not pay your taxes due? It's good that you are taking care of your families but you know, it's almost like you stole that money because you got it well, sort of illegally.
Yes we know no one was watching the Border very closely for many years and many many others have come here before you and no one bothers them.
In a way you are right but that does not make your problems any better, it is still breaking the law. Throughout our history we have allowed the needy to enter as long as they obeyed our laws. We have all been Aliens at one time for all those years everyone had to play by the book, the way we require them to do even now. We offer you a choice, either apply legally and wait your turn in line to be called or put on one of our Military Uniforms and go to Iraq. It's that simple and if you do it our way, guess what, you get a VISA.
So what's it going to be, follow the rules and obey the Law or continue to be lawless and when we catch you don't act surprised if we lock you up for awhile rather than send you back across the Border to do it again?
