A tattletale of Bad and Good
This is an example of a text message received on my phone. The website udsgxz.com is registered in Kuala Lumpur MY. How are we to be protected from this invasion into our phone system? How can we retaliate for this invasion.
Some of the recipients may actually be expecting a usps package and feel obliged to complete the address. I am not sure what damage could be done with a telephone number and address? What else will they try to get from the website interaction?
Subject: A Message from Harbor Freight about Email Scams
Reply-To: Harbor Freight Tools <reply@em.harborfreight.com>
Watch Out for Email Scams Recently, we’ve heard from many of you about email scams. The criminals behind these scams are sending emails that look like they were sent by Harbor Freight or another company using realistic logos and other features designed to trick you so they can steal your information or your money. Typically, their emails ask you to complete a survey or fill out a form, and in return, they promise to send you something for free. These emails are NOT from Harbor Freight, and the criminals who send them did NOT get your email address from us. We want you to know about these scams so you can protect yourself and your personal information. Here are a few tips to help you avoid email scams:
- Be suspicious of any email that asks for any of your personal information, any credit card number, or any password or account information
- Look for spelling or grammar errors – email scams are often poorly written
- Review the actual email address from the sender – scam emails often come from unusual addresses.
While Harbor Freight does occasionally send out surveys to help us serve you better, we will NEVER ask you for your credit card number or address in exchange for completing a survey.
Please be careful with your financial and personal data, and if you receive a scam email that looks like it came from Harbor Freight, please forward it to: reportascam@harborfreight.com.
Thank you,
Harbor Freight Support Team
The wild west of old American History is virtually back!
The Open Door era of our borders is virtually here!
The fact is our virtual borders have never existed. They have never been protected. Our citizens who move on to the virtual sphere are possible victims for all kinds of crime!
When Americans protected themselves the did not do it with vests and shields to stop the bullets and let the predators keep up the assault . The industry saw the market and supplied the weapons to fire back.
The WWW means the Wild Wild West is back. There are NO laws!? There is only access. Do you really think that the predators of the WWW are Americans because you live in America? Do you think they are English because you live in England?
The call to action: Create and supply the Weapon needed in the WWW to STOP the predator and protect ourselves!
Genesis 1:31 – God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning —the sixth day.
Then Genesis 2:1-3 – Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array. By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.
Let’s look at Genesis 2:7 – Then the LORD God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.
God said in Genesis 2:16 – And the LORD God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.”
Now this is where I feel that I am not in this story. I feel that my history is someplace else. It has taken my entire life up to now to feel that this is true. The Bible is the Word Of God. From the 4th verse of Genesis This is the History and Story of the people based on Adam. I now feel that there is a History and a Story based on another people. Not even the Peoples in this history that are not of this story’s first Man made from the dust of the ground. My History, as I feel it, merges with this in the New Testament.
It is March 2 2022.
This Bill was post on Feb 28.
The previous Bill was posted on Feb 24.
The Due Date on both Bills is March 12.
How does an obligation that is due in 2 weeks change to past due without passing the DUE Date?
I is hard to see next to the selected amount Due is $64.99, to the right it says This includes a past due amount of $64.99.
That means ?=?= The amount due in 10 days is past due before the Due Date?
I am confused. This makes no sense! WAIT. I am not confused. This makes no sense! It is either a mistake or it was done on purpose. I started many years ago as a ‘seeker of truth’. Now I seek reality because truth does not matter. In this case on March 12, truth becomes reality! Or is it reality becomes truth! again in this case it will not matter. On March 11, the Bill will be paid! And reality will change as it does every minute of every Day. Truth and Reality will not matter as they become History. And no one pays attention to History.
We all know the saying:
In this ‘new normal’ I currently beginning to think my wisdom is failing. I am seeing too many things that my serenity cannot accept and my courage cannot pay the bill for.I may be referring to the last post but I think much, much more.
I worry that the one thing that is not acceptable is I see most others accepting the unacceptable.
I see smart people, elected people, saying that the laws that punish people when they break the laws is sufficient. I see no one talking about laws that dictate how laws abiding people are required to act. What has happened.
I have missed entirely when the Bill of Rights starting including the Right to disobey reasonable laws to protect people. We concentrate on what is the punishment for breaking the law which requires that law breakers must be found guilty of breaking the law before anything results from any action.
Do what ever is necessary. Yell FIRE in crowded theater. Insight a riot. Change your political party until you find one that you can control and become leader. No one will notice! I am a Republican who is been a member of every other party until he found this one that allowed him to take control. No one noticed!
Doing what they had always done, calling it a riot situation, end in killing a person at the right time to be caught. As my great grand daughter conclude for herself when she did something wrong! ‘The thing I did wrong is get caught’. They have recently been convicted and now the government will pay to keep them alive (for the rest of their lives)?
There is apparently no law about being the aggressor. There is no law about hacking electronic systems. There is no law about sending someone a bill for something that is nothing. But you become the victim is you pay your debts without verifying the bill and you may even give away information and become a victim for life? Russia sees separatist-held regions of Ukraine as not having the right to separate. Or is a group saying that another group is not owning up to their Responsibility? Is it only the responsible people that are not allowed to use force?
noun: the action or process of forgiving or being forgiven.
It is possible to go through an entire life without knowing forgiveness! That usually means this life never knows either result of the action.
noun. 1. act of forgiving; state of being forgiven. 2. disposition or willingness to forgive.
There are 2 definitions presented here. Both use ‘or’ not ‘and’. I fear this is clear and a mistake. Forgiveness is both at the same time! Where did this ‘God awful idea’ come from? Well, God!
The Lord’s Prayer – Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
and then there is.
Serenity Prayer
O God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time. Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace. Taking, as He did, the sinful world as it is, not as I would have it. Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His will; that I may be reasonably happy in this life, and supremely happy with Him forever.
(Reinhold Niebuhr, 1892-1971)
Which has NOTHING to do with forgiveness! It seems to address acceptance instead; BUT always gets confused and co-mingled with forgiveness without even trying.
The Lord’s Prayer, from God, ties both effects together, with an ‘and’. Your request for the Deity to ‘forgive us‘ is tied directly to ‘we forgive‘ with not even a ‘;’ between. God seems to say: ‘Ask for the forgiveness; I will give it to you, unconditionally, but don’t even think of it without your participation. And it will be quantified.’. It can be said that ‘as we forgive those‘ is a promise from us to God but then why is it in the middle of a list of requests?
And now to the main point of contention. I have often hear it said ‘I cannot forgive … because I cannot accept that … and not expect it to happen again.’ Or ‘I cannot forgive … because it will happen again.’ There is a reason why I cannot forgive; it is because I cannot accept.
Let me conclude with a story, and example.
I have a puppy. It is cute. It is noisy. It is messy. I forgive the puppy. I expect the puppy to be all these things. I will not hate the puppy. I will not throw the puppy out and never love it or let it in again. I will not accept the puppy as it is. But it is forgiven for the past. I do not say that I do not expect it to be the same state tomorrow. I do not say that I will forgive the past when I know the future will be different. I prepare for tomorrow and expect tomorrow and hope for tomorrow. I forgive the past, unconditionally! FOR ME not the puppy.
Things are happening! We see them and WE Don’t! OMG, Is not a call for God’s help. He hears – and knows – It really means OH MY GODS, ALL of them, All the gods of the world. There are so many gods in our life especially after the pandemic, Which may not be past yet. I find myself, as I think more are, being ‘in this world’ but feeling ‘not of this world’. I am an observer. The world – it is a’changing!
Police brutality is replaced with citizen power. You don’t like a law, just ignore it this once. No one important will see you.
The big example, If you see that you will loose an election just call out that there is an attempt to STEEL the election. No one will believe that it is you trying to steel it. That just could not be.
The speed limit too low? Ignore it. The people you pass cannot stop you. There are no police around to force a low speed. If it were necessary to go slow for a reason, that reason would have brought police into the area to enforce it. Otherwise it is just a guide line. And so forth.
WTF is not taking the Lord’s name in vain, so no commandment broken. Just an attempt of a small mind to express itself forcefully. And a cry of amasement at experiencing something that just could/should not be happening.
IDK – A strange thing happened today. I SAW a PERSON with a THING that was BROKEN. He was using it as though it were in good and working condition. I stopped to help him FIX the THING because it was not so broken that it could not be fixed. I was told that he had PURPOSEFULLY broken it. He wanted to be JUSTIFIED ridding himself of the THING because he was tired of doing the work with it.
EOD – but more to come.
8 months ago I started vaccinations. I completed the 2 shots 1 month apart. I did not have a reaction to the vaccine although some people did. But did anything happen? What? What did it mean? Were we SAFE from the virus and the pandemic now that we took the next step.
It is 8 months later and the population did not become vaccinated as planned. Many have refused to even consider the action. There are many reasons. It is HERD non-immunation! I see it as a reaction to lies told and believed at the start of the pandemic. But it is what it is. We can never know what might have happened.
There are people in the population that are sick, no, actually, with Covid. Some know but don’t believe it. Some know and don’t care. Some don’t know. Here is the amazing thing, if you don’t think you have it you can’t get a test for it! The plan seems to leave the general population in the OLD Fashion condition, you can get “immune’d” by surviving the infection.
Did the vaccine work?
I don’t know.
What was it supposed to do?
Keep us from ever getting Covid-19!
Not true. But it is the goal!
Vaccines contain the same germs that cause disease. But they have been either killed or weakened to the point that they don’t make you sick. Some vaccines contain only a part of the disease germ.
A vaccine stimulates your immune system to produce antibodies, exactly like it would if you were exposed to the disease. After getting vaccinated, you develop immunity to that disease, without having to get the disease first. That is sort of True?
The source said “This is what makes vaccines such powerful medicine. Unlike most medicines, which treat or cure diseases, vaccines prevent them”. This is false to a point. stimulates not prevents is correct. A vaccine is not designed to prevent anything just make the body, your body, do what God designed it to do when you want it to, when you can watch and take action if anything does wrong, not at a pandemic time.
The source said “However, no vaccine is 100% effective and, though rare, fully vaccinated people can contract coronavirus”. This is false. The vaccine always stimulates your immune system to produce antibodies. 100%, always, if it does not kill you, it works. Can the antibodies prevent another infection? Will they pass the test of time? These are actually the questions and where the less-than-100% results come in.
These cases, fully vaccinated people with coronavirus, known as breakthrough infections, can cause COVID-like symptoms — or no symptoms at all. It is always nice to have a name for failure that does not sound like the failure it is! This is realistic when a vaccine is tested and proven but not when everyone knows the process has not been finished.
It was 8 months after the vaccinations started and normal activities had resumed for a good part. Mask requirements were lifted. Groups were meeting together, in person. I was there. The day after one such meeting for regular activities I heard that a person attending had tested positive. I waited and nothing changed with me. It happened again weeks later. A different person came down with Covid-19. A person there was tested due to close contact, positive results. I was tested, positive results. Breakthrough infections both, we 2 were fully vaccinated.
Now, a little over 8 months after, we 2 will live we think. Will this natural immunization work better than the manufactured version? Can the new antibodies prevent another infection? Will these antibodies pass the test of time?
Everyone knows the process will continue.
This is now again 2 weeks of further process. The Covid was not bad! OTC Meds worked for us. The ‘initial group’ of infection was not vaccinated. The natural nature of the ‘process’ occurred. All got sick, Most recovered. One had complications into pneumonia and entered Emergency Room Care, Was put on a respirator, Got worse, Died.
My infection source did recover very well. Another friend, unvaccinated, got it from from us. Because we are vaccinated we passed a weakened version to them and they developed antibodies naturally.
I, however, developed complications into pneumonia and entered Emergency Room Care! WOW! Did I mention I have COPD, Sleep Apnea and am ‘a little’ Old. I almost died from the cure. I was extremely tired and fell asleep and, of course stopped breathing. Panicked response to what was expected had me on the brink of incubation and the respirator. I came back before completed so I don’t have to recover from the cutting. Antibiotics worked its magic. I got a CPAP machine, Added Oxygen supply, Received antivirals, Stayed 4 days.
I am home. Insurance is covering the cost of home oxygen supply. This is helping a better feeling. My O2 dropped but not critically. I will be cautious for several months. I have just canceled a flight to Washington. I don’t feel good about traveling. Improvement is very slow.
Everyone knows the process continues.
I woke up yesterday. I had slept only 8 hours and I felt good. Why was this such a Good thing? I have been sleeping 12+ hours every night and still getting tired after a few minutes activity or a few hours of being awake. This had actually been the status for almost 2 years. Covid 19 Lockdown in March 2020 was still a normal day. I attended a training class 80 miles away, spent the entire day, came home and still felt OK. That was 20 months ago now. All that time went very slowly except the trip to the Emergency Room. That change happened in just 2 days!
I think I am putting an END on this tale. Hopefully I won’t reopen it. I don’t think I will need or get the third vaccine shot. I feel being sick and surviving did that for me. I am happy that I feel this way after only 3 month after a POSITIVE test!
Everyone knows the process continues.
I’m sitting here in the dark typing on a keyboard. At one time this was pleasing for me. I remember when I was hospitalized recovering from surgery, lying in bed, looking at the television screen, confused that I could find the keyboard that paired with the monitor! My thought then was “F*** it all. If they won’t give me the keyboard it is their problem”. Well it wasn’t my problem anyway. Now I’m here doing nothing and still not happy. What the hell has happened?
I guess the goal in life is not finding my Happy Spot after all. Looking for some Happy Spot is just what we do. Not finding it is mostly what happens. I find myself settling for what makes me feel the least bad. And even that is hard lately. But. . . There is always something at the bottom of the list. It is the nature of a list! To have a last item!
I kept a pile of ROCKs in the backyard and a large hammer in the tool shed and it gave me pleasure making ROCKs into GRAVEL. Not that having GRAVEL is a better thing than having ROCKs but destroying ROCKs myself seemed better than seeing others do it. ROCKs were just a placeholder for other things in life. Now all I see is other destroying ROCKs and I have no pleasure in it.
It seems that the whole world doesn’t give a damn. And I don’t either. What a pathetic state to have no Happy Spot to search for.
