Kimo's world #122

Really Maria? Give me a break?
I was not born yesterday.
I imagine many guys
will fall for your
request.
WARNING! WARNING!

I'm always getting friend requests on Facebook from people I don't know. When I first joined Facebook I accepted everyone. Wow they want to be my friend, I thought, cool!

Maria Dubois wants to be friends with you on Facebook. Maria Dubois

 I get frequent requests from young  good looking woman in their 20's? I think why are they asking an over weight poor Jewish guy with 3 chronic illnesses for friendship?

My latest was from a girl from France named, Maria Dubois. She has no friends and  has a beautiful profile picture. Why is this alleged person asking for my friendship?   Well, many guys my age are scammed by people acting as beautiful young woman and acting as if they love you etc, eventually asking for money then cleaning you out. Cat-fishing, taking on a different identity to screw someone out of their life savings, usually not romance.

Therefore Maria Dubois, Thanks for the friendship invite, however for now I will need to pass. Plus as far as life's savings, move on, you picked the wrong guy here. Even if you were for real, I would not be able to keep pace with you. Possibly the me from 40 years ago but not the me now.

May I say to all my friend's both male and female--when you get friend requests from younger good looking people wanting to be your friends, RUN!  ;-)

James "Kimo" Rosen ~  Dat's me from 40 years ago!

Maybe I  could had kept up
with Maria Dubois then?

Bye Bye Suntan, Hello April Snow Showers

Spending the week in daily sunshine will be hard to leave this weekend,  some things I won't miss are traffic jammed roads and freeways,  rude drivers and expensive food. Guess it's the price to pay for sunny days and beautiful scenery.

say they will be appearing
on the "Voice?"

 

My son seems to have adjusted to  the lifestyle although he would much rather eat home now more than he ever used to because of the waiting and waiting for food with crowds of people everywhere,  back to the grind next week. Bye bye suntan.

At least I missed out last blast of snow last week. Seriously April snow showers.  😬

"I salute and support our brave military..." Chester "Unc" Lau' (An opinion article from Unc!)

Dakinetalk's favorite Uncle (Chester Lau)

"Unc"  is really passionate about creating a national Caregivers day.

'Unc' currently resides on the Hawai'ian Island of Oahu. 

He is a retired cinematographer,

 and  enjoys giving the politicians a bad time...

I salute and support our brave military

Waving the flag is meaningless unless one can help our disabled war veterans and  their families in their daily needs,I knew other real patriotic Americans will do the same to help our disabled veterans if given the chance to do so.We cannot depend on the politicians to do the right thing unless they can profit or  enhance  their political status.

I therefore dream and propose that to thanks and support our brave men and women who sacrificed so much for our freedom that an independent citizen group open to all citizens to form  a " $ 1.00 or more Veteran Support Foundation " for all American war veterans and their families in peace or war.  with a  $1.00 or more monthly pledge to support this foundation, to be used for all legitimate requests of war veterans & their families in need for groceries, medical care,nursing home care,job educational expenses etc, to be staff by volunteer citizens without cost to the tax payers, to be associated with voluntary public or private schools for education or hospitals for medical cares.details to be worked out upon formation of this Foundation like Office or land donations by government or private enterprises. 

  

This is my dream & Proposal to Support our Disabled War veterans and their families,the success of this dream depends on public support. If you really care for our troops,show them by deeds instead of words,what do you say ? 

I salute and support our brave military who sacrificed so much for our freedom.

"No mass exodus to other countries..." 'Glenn Mickens' (The World Watchdog)

Glenn Mickens has lived on Kauai  with his wife Ruth for the last 26 years. Born July 26, 1930 in Wilmar, California, USA) was a pitcher in Major League Baseball. He pitched in four games (two of which were starts) for the 1953 Brooklyn Dodgers. He also played for five years in Japan, from 1959 until 1963 for the Kintetsu Buffaloes. There, he compiled a record of 45–53 with a 2.54 ERA.  Glenn also  served in the Army for 2 years and coached baseball at UCLA for 25 years. 
Last but not least Glenn would really like to see Kaua'i give the county manager style of Government a chance.

Mr. Mickens is locally known
as one of Kauai county's
political watchdogs
and Nitpickers...
Mahalos Glenn!

No mass exodus to other countries

With all our shortfalls and problems the people of the world are still coming to America over any other country out there. 

I see no mass exodus from the U.S. to go to other countries. 

If any Republican president had accomplished what Obama has in his 7-plus years they would be making a place for him on Mt Rushmore! 
1-He has gotten us out of thus worst depression since 1929.

2- Jobs have been increasing and unemployment is down.

3- Obama nailed the #1 criminal of the world, Osama Bin Lauden.

4-Obama initiate an  affordable health care program that may have flaws but is at least started whereas others just talked about it.

 5-No mass attacks (a la 911) have happened under his watch.

 6-The  stock market is close to its all time high which also happened under  President Obama.

The waste in the federal, state and local governments is inexcusable. Sure there are some dedicated politicians, however when laws are passed they are usually skewed towards the bottom half of the population, even when they fit the top half money talks and those wealthy walk. 

Tell me another country you would rather live in rather than the U S of A---I couldn't? When I played baseball in Japan for 5 years and lived there for 6 months at a time I would ecstatically shout for joy when my plane from Japan hit the ground in America.

Should changes be made--certainly. But to yell Domesday about our country is idiocy once you have had the chance to live in another nation with THEIR problems. 

I once played winter baseball in Caracas, Venezuela--a beautiful city about 3000 feet in elevation. But in going across Lake Maracaibo to play another team we had to wait till the Military got across with their boats and we foreign ball players were warned NOT to voice our disapproval of what was going on or those soldiers stationed all around would fire at us! You hear about freedom of speech being censored all over the world but it is still ones right here in America.

Editor's note
The thing I like must about blogging about Donald Trump is my blog numbers jump!  
My blog is only a hobby blog and on any given day I may receive 100-200 hits. When I blog about the Donald I receive 500 plus hits. This is extremely good for a  blog run as a hobby.

Therefore  here I go again, this time, not as heavy, just having a little fun with a poem I penned. Feel free to write in your own verse.
All are welcome, haters and supporters! 

A poem about Donald J. Trump.

Right when American thought they were down in the dumps, along came Mr. Donald J. Trump.

Haters will hate,  but everyone loves a good debate. The ratings soar when Trump becomes sore.

One things for certain, with Trump you will never be bored.

He is a ratings magnet and never goes stagnate.

His wife loves 'The Donald' because of the way he Fondles.

Some say his whole presidency will be that of a lame duck, those are only the haters whom know only how to say a word that rhymes with luck!

This meme was used
to promote this blog
on Facebook!

 

 Many are hoping 'Making American Great again' will become our fate again...

There are bound to be some more bumps along the road for Mr. Donald J, Trump. We only hope Mr Trump's health remains without any major cancerous Lumps.

The Dollar bill may soon say, "Trump bless America" and that is the time when the hippies say, they will leave America.

Hillary may frown because many consider Trump a clown, but to 
all a good election, and Mr. Trump says at 69 he can still get a good erection? 

For the record he is talking of the high rise, Trump tower.
  ;-)

One other thing, many cannot understand why I like Trump. I cannot understand why anyone would vote for Hillary. Enclosed is a YouTube video that I challenge any Hillary supporter to watch and look at objectively.She was totally against same ex marriage for many years, listen to Anderson Cooper and Chris Mathews catch her in lies. Hillary and the Clinton's Are the narcissists and liars. I used to like them, until they became the epitome of corrupt politicians and the reason I despise Washington so much. I encourage everyone to watch the enclosed video below;

"Passwords rule our lives..." 'Judith Whitehead' (Inspiration Sunday)

Judith Whitehead lives in Amherst New York

( A suburb of Buffalo, N.Y.)

 and has worked in the ophthalmology

 field of medicine for over 30 years

Passwords rule our lives

I remember back in the 1970's when times were much simpler. When we got married there were no “passwords” to “get into” anything, no computers, no electronic banking etc. Everything was just

“Manual”. 

If you needed cash to spend on the weekend, you had better get to the bank before it closed on Friday for a manual cash withdrawal.

 There were no ATM's and when you made a deposit or
withdrawal it was written down in your bank book in ink. The checks were not even numbered, you wrote your own number on the check to keep track. Simple, simple days with no security securing your life or transactions. No terrorists to fear and not many citizens carrying a gun for protection.

What has our world come to in the last 40 years. Back in the day there was no fear of being in public places, such as airports, movie theaters etc.

My head is just bursting with passwords to get into my own accounts. I start the day at work entering 3 different passwords to get into three systems, health records, personal code punching in on the computer, Internet access etc. And those passwords have to be updated and changed every few weeks--better use a different combination because a similar one won't work. If I need to get into my bank, my phone, my computer etc, they all require passwords. They swirl around in my head all day; at times I do get locked out, having a brain “fart” and unable to recall those simple words I use day after day. Security is needed to re set the password, which causes a delay in my work.

Now we have expert hackers that try and gain access to our accounts; they can even get into large corporations or governments, they are so adept at this crime. Is any of our information really safe any longer? Our information is out there for anyone to steal or share. The world wide electronic highway is alive and well all over the world.

Yes, the Internet has made it easy to shop, bank, pay bills, get information...anything is accessible. Do you want to find someone, a long lost relative, a friend, personal records on someone, etc. It is all there for the taking.

We seemed to manage back in the 1970's just fine. Is it a mixed blessing or a danger to our lives now?

Time will tell in the future, maybe not in our lifetime but surely our children s' lifetime.

My children, like many born in the 80's have no idea what it was like to live the simple life unadorned with secret passwords and numbers to enter the electronic world. Computers only came out in the 80's for personal use and they were clumsy and expensive and could only do limited tasks for the common person. Now computers are shrunk down to a hand held size or even smaller like a watch, and are less expensive. They are loaded with new technology that is mind boggling.

We have let ourselves become so dependent on them that we can't manage without them; if the world would “shut” down today our children s' generation would be clueless. 

Many have never looked up an address in something called a phone book. I can't believe they still drop them off at our doorstep.

Our technology today is both amazing and scary as it can easily be used against us as an individual or a country. Beware of hackers and suspicious e-mails and protect your information as it can change the direction of your life.

L'oncle Ammusant  AKA~ Chester "Unc" Lau

This is really a great letter.  I am most impressed by the fact the gentleman that wrote it, a registered democrat, signed his name and address to it. Snopes.Com confirmed this letter to be true. http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/schoonover.asp

You can be Republican, Democrat, Liberal, Conservative, Independent or Libertarian and I bet this will hit a nerve. Our country is in real trouble.

Senator Patty Murray
Senator Maria Cantwell
Washington, DC , 20510
This is really a great letter
 Dear Senators:
I have tried to live by the rules my entire life. My father was a Command Sergeant Major, U.S. Army, who died of combat related stresses shortly after his retirement. It was he who instilled in me those virtues he felt important - honesty, duty, patriotism and obeying the laws of God and of our various governments. I have served my country, paid my taxes, worked hard, volunteered and donated my fair share of money, time and artifacts.

 Today, as I approach my 79th birthday, I am heart-broken when I look at my country and my government. I shall only point out a very few things abysmally wrong which you can multiply by a thousand fold. I have calculated that all the money I have paid in income taxes my entire life cannot even keep the Senate barbershop open for one year! Only Heaven and a few tight-lipped actuarial types know what the Senate dining room costs the taxpayers. So please, enjoy your haircuts and meals on us.

Last year, the president spent an estimated $1.4 billion on himself and his family. The vice president spends $ millions on hotels. They have had 8 vacations so far this year! And our House of Representatives and Senate have become America's answer to the Saudi royal family. You have become the "perfumed princes and princesses" of our country.

In the middle of the night, you voted in the Affordable Health Care Act, a.k.a. "Obamacare," a bill which no more than a handful of senators or representatives read more than several paragraphs, crammed it down our throats, and then promptly exempted yourselves from it substituting your own taxpayer-subsidized golden health care insurance.

You live exceedingly well, eat and drink as well as the "one percenters," consistently vote yourselves perks and pay raises while making 3.5 times the average U.S. individual income, and give up nothing while you (as well as the president and veep) ask us to sacrifice due to sequestration (for which, of course, you plan to blame the Republicans, anyway).

You understand very well the only two rules you need to know - (1) How to get elected, and (2) How to get re-elected. And you do this with the aid of an eagerly willing and partisan press, speeches permeated with a certain economy of truth, and by buying the votes of the greedy, the ill-informed and under-educated citizens (and non-citizens, too, many of whom do vote) who are looking for a handout rather than a job. Your so-called "safety net" has become a hammock for the lazy. And, what is it now, about 49 or 50 million on food stamps - pretty much all Democrat voters - and the program is absolutely rife with fraud and absolutely no congressional oversight?

I would offer that you are not entirely to blame. What changed you is the seductive environment of power in which you have immersed yourselves. It is the nature of both houses of Congress which requires you to subordinate your virtue in order to get anything done until you have achieved a leadership role. To paraphrase President Reagan, it appears that the second oldest profession (politics), bears a remarkably strong resemblance to the oldest.

 As the hirsute first Baron John Emerich Edward Dalberg Acton (1834 -1902), English historian and moralist, so aptly and accurately stated, "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men." I'm only guessing that this applies to the female sex as well. Tell me, is there a more corrupt entity in this country than Congress?

While we middle class people continue to struggle, our government becomes less and less transparent, more and more bureaucratic, and ever so much more dictatorial, using Czars and Secretaries to tell us (just to mention a very few) what kind of light bulbs we must purchase, how much soda or hamburgers we can eat, what cars we can drive, gasoline to use, and what health care we must buy. Countless thousands of pages of regulations strangle our businesses costing the consumer more and more every day.

As I face my final year, or so, with cancer, my president and my government tell me "You'll just have to take a pill," while you, Senator, your colleagues, the president, and other exulted government officials and their families will get the best possible health care on our tax dollars until you are called home by your Creator while also enjoying a retirement beyond my wildest dreams, which of course, you voted for yourselves and we pay for.

 The chances of you reading this letter are practically zero as your staff will not pass it on, but with a little luck, a form letter response might be generated by them with an auto signature applied, hoping we will believe that you, our senator or representative, has heard us and actually cares. This letter will, however, go on line where many others will have the chance to read one person's opinion, rightly or wrongly, about this government, its administration and its senators and representatives.

I only hope that occasionally you might quietly thank the taxpayer for all the generous entitlements which you have voted yourselves, for which, by law, we must pay, unless, of course, it just goes on the $19 trillion national debt for which your children and ours, and your grandchildren and ours, ad infinitum, must eventually try to pick up the tab.

 My final thoughts are that it must take a person who has either lost his or her soul, or conscience, or both, to seek re-election and continue to destroy the country that I deeply love. You have put it so far in debt that we will never pay it off while your lot improves by the minute, because of your power.

For you, Senator, will never stand up to the rascals in your House who constantly deceive the American people. And that, my dear Senator, is how power has corrupted you and the entire Congress. The only answer to clean up this cesspool is term limits. This, of course, will kill the goose that lays your golden eggs. And woe be to him (or her) who would dare to bring it up.

Sincerely,
Bill Schoonover
