People take priority, even though I love the fur kids. When I was still married we had a golden retriever. Ex would not allow him on the bed. But, when I was in bed alone the dog was allowed, and he knew it. The kitty came and went as she pleased, but she also learned to stay away from the ex's side of the bed when he was there. I slept like a baby when I had the dog behind me and the cat in front. I miss my Chief.

They Posed as Soldiers in Love. Over 30 People Lost $2.1 Million.

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 7, 2019:

A crime ring based in Ghana swindled online victims with promises of romance and gold, officials said. A New Jersey man was arrested. ImageRubbin Sarpong, in a photo posted to his Instagram account @rksmullateam. Rubbin Sarpong, in a photo posted to his Instagram account @rksmullateam. Azi PaybarahJack Nicas By Azi Paybarah and Jack Nicas Sept. 5, 2019 It often started with a hope for love, then quickly turned into a promise of gold. In one tragic case, it ended in death. A woman had struck up a romance on a dating website with a man who said he was a United States soldier stationed overseas. He claimed to have more than $12 million worth of gold from Syria but needed help bringing it to the United States, so she sent him $93,000. He sent back a photograph of an Israeli diplomat she was supposed to meet at the Baltimore airport who was going to bring her “two trunks with ‘family treasure’,” according to a criminal complaint. But he never showed up. The next day, she killed herself. The United States attorney for New Jersey has said that the woman’s death was part of a complex and brazen fraud that swindled more than 30 people out of about $2.1 million. The scheme, officials said, was run by two people in New Jersey and their associates in Ghana. It usually involved someone posing as an American service member on a dating website and “wooing” a target “with words of love,” according to the complaint. While internet frauds have persisted for years, the breadth of the swindle stands out, as well as the fact that it led to arrests. On Wednesday, the F.B.I. arrested one New Jersey man, Rubbin Sarpong, for conspiracy to commit wire fraud. If convicted, he could face up to 20 years in prison and $250,000 in fines. A lawyer for Mr. Sarpong did not respond to a message seeking comment. The case also comes amid growing scrutiny of the proliferation of this type of fraud and struggles by tech companies and the military to stop them. The New York Times reported in July that similar swindles were rampant on Facebook, Instagram and other platforms. Hundreds of profiles were found that impersonated military service members and veterans, including the nation’s top generals. Following The Times’s reporting, Representative Adam Kinzinger said he was considering legislation to force Facebook and other companies to do more to prevent such frauds. The congressman, who is also in the Air National Guard, said scammers have used his likeness for years to defraud people online. On Thursday, Mr. Kinzinger, an Illinois Republican, criticized Facebook for its announcement that users in the United States could now create dating profiles on its platform. Facebook said the service, Facebook Dating, was already available...

Uncertainty, when I feel like my job is threatened. My job training was not going well because I could not hear, which I will be forever thankful that my supervisor was able to figure out that I might need (and now have) hearing aids. However, she has a different approach to many aspects of our job, and some of the things she has done/said I think were wildly inappropriate. I was compared to a whiny millennial. Mind blown, however my anxiety levels have been off the chart. So now that I have been retrained and I'm back to where I was before, she has not followed up to discuss how things are going. We had some communication with Employee Health that I needed different headsets to use. She did not follow up with either me or EH that they were ordered. Since the whiny millennial and other OMG discussions with her I've tended to avoid direct contact with her. I just wanna keep my head down, be left alone to do my job and survive til I can really retire.

There is a small town in Nebraska that was pretty much wiped out, they are thinking it is time to move the town to higher ground. Ya think? I am not sure if they should disband the town and move to neighboring towns that might need the business or just move the town. It is not like there is a mandate for the town to exist. I who have lived a somewhat nomadic life have no ties to any towns. Others may not agree. Since I realize I don't have a dog in that fight and the outcome will not affect me much, I simply don't care.

Have you ever had anyone try to guilt you into something?

HippieChick58 comments on Aug 31, 2019:

Guilting someone is another form of emotional abuse. My grandmother used it like a sledge hammer. She would threaten to have a heart attack if we did not comply. One of my brothers looked her full in the face and said "go for it." That was the last time she pulled that little trick. It was a great lesson for me. I don't think I can be guilted now. It just isn't my responsibility to take care of your whims.
