Coming up this Tuesday, February 1st, 2022 is the Chinese new year.
Depending on who you ask, it has different pronunciations and interpretations.
"Happy Chinese New Year" in Mandarin is: xin nian (new year) kuai le (happy)
Pronounced shin nee-an kwai le.
The Cantonese version is sun nin fai lok- pronounced san knee fy loc
Many people associate the Cantonese phrase Gong hei fat choy as happy new year, but it's actually a wish for prosperity to the person you say it to.
In Mandarin Chinese, it’s Gong xi fa cai (pronounced gong she fa tsai).
Either way, millions of Chinese will be up in the middle of the night cleaning house and preparing for a celebration and to some that lasts for a week!
There are Chinese zodiac signs and the Tiger is known as the king of all beasts in China and the zodiac sign for Tiger is a symbol of strength, exorcising evils, and braveness. Many Chinese will be wearing hats or shoes with a tiger image for good luc
2022 is a year of the Water Tiger. It starts from February 1st, 2022, and ends on January 21st, 2023. A Water Tiger year occurs every 60 years.
So kung, mung, sung, or however you say it... Happy Chinese New Year!

Blocking a fire hydrant with your BMW...

Every driver knows that blocking a fire hydrant could get you a ticket. In some states the fine is more than $110.
That doesn't appear to phase BMW drivers as they've become daringly notorious for parking near (and sometimes blocking) hydrants. The risk of a ticket would be nothing to someone who drives a vehicle valued at more than $100,000.
If you've seen a fire hose filled with water, it resists bending and at times unyielding. Therefore the connection to the hydrant is as direct as possible without curves or kinks. In an emergency, firefighters don't have time to play with BMW drivers blocking hydrants and they have been known to bust through side windows so they can get a 'straight shot' connection to the blocked hydrant.

Last week, I noticed an new promotion/advertisement about being a Top Fan.
Okay, what is all about?
I clicked the link see some Top Fans in my area.
Fan one has no profile photo.
Fan two is facing away from the camera.
Fan four is using a stolen photo of Ann B. Mateo who is famous as a gamer and model living in the Philippines.
Jumping down to Fan twenty seven is 'a woman of high moral integrity'
I reported this profile several times because it contains a stolen photo of porn star Eva Lovia.
Who can you trust?
What started this off is the woman in the advertisement.
Her name is Samantha Saint and she was a Penthouse playmate turned porn star.

At one point, I was a member of 6 different dating sites. I am down to two. With all the exposure I have seen many different types of scammers.
From a previous blog, I received some comments about scammers and what to look for to avoid them. The reason why is not all are noticeable at first. Some take a few messages or video chat before you realize the person you are talking to is a fake.
I plan to post that information in a future blog.
Tonight, I am posting a screen shot of some members who viewed my profile a few days ago.

Anti-Vaxx fear mongering...

Vaccines are now available combat the COVID-19 pandemic the world is faced with. However, if you been following the news, a part of the population been going on social media spreading all kinds of misinformation regarding the virus.
I think we are past ' is a hoax' and 'Masks offer no protection' and lock-downs are imprisonment.
We are into bigger lies such as 'Bill Gates put microchips in the vaccine and when you are near a 5G tower, will turn you into a zombie.
Pretty amazing if you ask me.
My question is: "How do they get one microchip into a needle from a vile of vaccine?"
I am told 'the microchip is already in the needle'
Yes, that is very funny!
Today I read an article that described an anti-vaccination movement that started early in the 19th century where people were skeptical of the smallpox vaccine. They were stating the side effects they dreaded were far more terrifying.
For example: blindness, deafness, ulcers, a gruesome skin condition called "cowpox mange" - even sprouting hoofs and horns.
Publications with artist sketches were passed out (mis) inform the public.
What say ye about the current vaccines reduce the spread and severity of a COVID-19 infection?

is a woman living in Thailand looks my profile every day. I am not sure why as I am twenty-two years older and in my present situation nothing offer her.
Funny thing as I smile every time I see she has been looking at me .
I know her from a single photo with Reddish brown dyed hair, wearing big sunglasses with reflective mirror lenses.
Anyway, a few days ago I see a new person viewing my profile. Actually, it is the woman. She added a new photo to her profile. This new one has her with black hair, no sunglasses and a lovely smile.
Attractive (beautiful actually) and I am wondering why she cannot find a man here.
Seriously... why?
