(from News)
Consumers often put a lot of trust in the people who produce, distribute, and sell food.
At any step along the way, someone could try to cut corners to save some money, and we’d probably never know.
This week. Internet users in China were horrified to see photographic evidence of some seafood sellers scavenging discarded shrimp and fish from the sewers to serve to unsuspecting customers.
photos show vendors in China using "sewer shrimp" to make street food:
According to Shanghaiist, it’s not uncommon for there to be shrimp waste at the markets in Wuhan, China.
The waste shrimp fall into the sewers and, theoretically, that would be the last anyone would hear of them. But some seafood vendors were photographed “rescuing” the discarded shrimp, rinsing them off at a public toilet, then mixing them up with other fish and seafood to be made into “shrimp balls.”

Someone is going to get very sick behind this practice !!!!!
Human Desperation be it for money or madness, is something that is far too much in societies of today.

Read an article yesterday about Cannibalism, which talked of historical acts of such as well as some in recent times. It was terrible to read and acknowledge such things continue to exist.
(( In desperate times, people have fallen back on cannibalism to survive; for instance, there are reports of cannibalism during the North Korean famine in 2013, the siege of Leningrad in the early 1940s, and China's "Great Leap Forward" in the late 1950s and 1960s.
In Europe, up until the early 18th century, human body parts were knowingly sold and purchased as medications, particularly bones, blood, and fat. Even priests and royalty routinely consumed human body products in an effort to stave off anything from headaches to epilepsy, and from nosebleeds to gout.)) from web article

The neighbor behind me has two dogs, one a pit bull and some other type of large dog. Yesterday, they were in my yard "again", this time they attacked my small dog, and caused damages. a puncture in the chest and other injuries, my other tried to fight them off as I ran outside to get them away, they headed back to their home, I came in to check on my dog, there was blood from my den, down the hall and in my bedroom. I called the police, then I took my to the hospital. It was costly.
Now, I have to file claim to make the people pay and to have my carpet changed as well.
My was hurt and in shock and has been laying around trying to recover, and taking medication for pain and inflammation.
The neighbor has to fix their fence or something !!!!!!! Animal Control will address them on that matter as well.
I don't care for people's pit bulls, after all the countless articles about these dogs, people still get them and they continue to be incidents of great harm and damage to other Animals and people. There needs to be some legal requirement and insurance requirement people should be mandated to have if they own this breed of dog.
I don't like walking in the community anymore, before I could walk my dogs all over the community. It's quite frustrating!!!!!!

What's the plan?

What's the plan for when you become 70+ yrs of age. Do you envisage yourself alone or with a mate?
What would you think would be important in the relationship at and after age 70? Do you think the same priorities will be of focus?
I ask these question, BECAUSE so in younger years many people rely so much on the looks, the body shape, the game of allure and attract, as well as the sensual organs. They often don't develop the skill to be rational in realism about what truly becomes the bonding factor of relationships.
"Communicating- being rational and reasonable within understanding", and "most certainly learning to manage expectations".
Today in society, people jump from one fantasy infatuation to the next, they are often temped by anything that glitters, smile or fits media imagery characters, for some the fantasy about money drives them, and the usury factors of sensual organs is the base factor which makes a great many decisions for people. .
It's a fact, your hair will alter its color, it may even alter its thickness and in some cases it may vanish, these are simply human life things. The skin won't stay as of the 20 yr old youth and these are just what comes into the process.
When these things come with change, 'what then will you rely on"?
It is better to cultivate a spirit of good will, a demeanor and character of honest and a sense of compassion and a concern to invest oneself in being of sincerity.
All of such things will be needed far more in the advanced years, than people think about when they are young and during their later stage when youth changes.

The Honor and Dignity of Dogs vs that of people

It’s a sad day when humans have so little regard for one another that they’ll just pass by the body of a woman who’s died, leaving her in the street to rot. But dogs are on a higher plane than humans.
These eight dogs faithfully surrounded her and held vigil for several hours.There are conflicting reports of the woman’s age; the Daily Mail says she was elderly, but a translation of a Chinese news source calls her a “young woman aged 15.” Nevertheless, she was riding her bicycle near the Jiangxi Institute of Engineering in southeast China with her adopted dogs in tow when she suddenly collapsed and died on the spot.
Police and paramedics arrived, but when they realized she was dead and there was no way to revive her, they departed, leaving her body where it was. She was not moved until much later that night.
She used ride her bike to collect bottles and discarded items to sell to survive, and adopted the street dogs over the years. Her perturbed dogs gathered around her from 4 am until 10 am, seemingly the only souls in the world to care about her life or death.Hopefully someone, or the community, will step in and care for these poor dogs now that they are without the only person in the world who cared about them.

"Keep Your Money in Your Own Pocket"... if that is the basic rule, then it voids out those who would seek to make "games", "deceptive Money pursuits" and "make a fool out of one or the other".
If you choose to feel you know someone and want to give them a gift, that's your business. but it is also your responsibility to ensure you know who you are giving such a gift unto.

Do people truly take the time to learn each other, or does the "hot's send them to bed quickly" and they get caught in the fantasy built around pleasure?
I've never been one to play the scripted waiting game, or become party to the set up that is sometime the basis of the waiting game. If there is a wait, it is a choice both people make and both are comfortable with it, then its more "realistic".
Especially, if its understood that the woman must have as much desire and want to be with the man, as the man has to desire and want to be with her.
No man should accept a bed engagement, under any terms as if the woman is doing him some favor, or that he has "won" something.
If two people want to hit the bed at any point in their relating, it should be because both mutually want and mutually desire it and both are willing to give, show and share that want and desire mutually.
If hitting the bed becomes the single focus mission of either, they should be up front about such, and not create a delusion for themselves, nor for the other or each other.
If they want to just the entertaining of each other in the bed, then be up front about that also, don't play "let's pretend its a relationship", because it will not turn out well for either of them in the extent of continued interactions.
Can the bed lead to love_ It's likely that it can, as anything shared can lead to love if its done in honest interchanges.
It might be wise for people to figure it out and be up front and honest with themselves and the other and each other, before they result to be caught up in "Relationship Fiction".

His legacy and triumphs go far and beyond boxing, Boxing was a great platform to show and demonstrate his skills, his efficiency in managing his ability to become the best and to regain the title 3 times.
He faced himself early and accepted himself and found love and appreciation of himself in doing so. He found the sense and reasons to be proud. He could stand with any man, He did not fear a system which did not treat him decent as a human being and a man, and stood against fighting and the devastation of other poor people around the world.
When he told the American public, if he has an enemy it is the white man in America, as it was at the time the white society who wants to deny him freedom to be and do and go as he desires, to have access and accessibility to all the institutions within the nation, it was the white society who had a legacy of hanging, abusively encroaching upon the women and producing millions of babies through such vile, then deny the baby and even enslave the same babies when they became old enough to work. He understood the history of white america, who sold away family members, put price tags on people and too husbands from wives and wives from husband and sold them away as if to have no regard or respect for their humane nature and presence. He understood the War Machine, which profited for some and staged the death cycles for many many poor whites as certainly mainly poor blacks. He understood those returning wounded, would come back to face segregation, push back and denial of benefits or assistance.
When he spoke up for the Asian people of the Vietnam and Cambodia region and chose not to be a participant in killing them, dislodging their families and killing their women and . He was facing every type of vile American could dish, both from racism, bigotry and every other nature of disregard and out-lash.
He returned to the Ring and regained his title after facing the challenges of loss, to regain it become again a winner.
He gave voice to many people, not only black society, but the young white middle class society whom his voice gave them more stand to fight against the war. He broke the ropes and threads that were imposed once the chains were removed, and set himself free.
Most people in Asian countries do not know the reality of American racism and the condition in the late 50's and early 1960's, to truly embrace what Muhammad Ali sad and what was within the realism of what he was saying. Today, the generation under 40 don't know the reality of what was American Segregationist Policies nor the mentality and contempt that raged within white society and how they fought against the basic Civil Rights to be recognized as person with rights as an American Citizen equal to all rights claimed by white Americans.
His stand not only helped black people, it was part of what made it possible for any and all immigrants to have accessibility to the rights as citizens both naturalized and those who were offspring's born in America.
He understood the prosperity of America would not have been if not for the labor of slaves, whom themselves were denied share or portion of the wealth their labor produced. He understood during segregation minority people were treated and paid as if they were indentured servants, not earning enough to extract themselves from the cycle of indenturing methodology.
He fought many fights and they were not all confined in the boxing ring.
"The Greatest" is not just about the boxing ring successes, but the successes as a man, fighting for the rights of people, both within this country and around the world; as well as for himself.
I am thankful I had the opportunity to meet him face to face, to shake his hand and look into his eyes. !!!!!
The work of being "A Man", is the greatest achievement an individual man can achieve, the successes gained in being a man, is a testament to standing as a man, backing up the aim and the claims to be "The Greatest", as being a Man.

My care does not have any monetary value as far as marketability. But, it is mine.
Quite strange, the crazy situations of expense to repair the air-conditioner. I think the mechanics are as crooked as the Doctors and Lawyers when it comes to "money".
I don't particularly want a car payment, and some of the New Cars are very nice with nice features. But, they also "drop in value like a rock in water". As I look at the vehicles and see the "generic nature of many", it is frustrating to think about buying a new one. It's like one can choose the name as to brand within categories and then look at the comparisons, and it is astounding, how they are price fixed to fit categories.
I am so tempted to buy a Pre-Owner, and not trip too much about mileage, and be done with it. Than to buy the low mileage or no mileage new car, the only differences may truly be the warranty and what it actually covers. I think there are many factors to consider in the whole of things.
I look at some of these cars when the weather has been upon them and they get a bit dirty and even though it only takes a good wash job to make it back shiny, when its dirty, then the lack of real quality seems to show even morose.
the paint is thin, the plastic on the headlights on so many cars seem to loose the lustre after 3 yrs, as if they don't make these thing for people to keep very long, factor in the rapid price drops, it is not economically functional to have such a loss ration per year on some of these cars.
After the Bikes I said I'd not buy any more "NEW" vehicles, so, I have to look closely at what will be my better options at this point and time.
I like this car- (Pictures from Internet -"NOT MY CAR")

Now I need to know what caused it!!??!! For more than $2k,test, doctor visits, scan between ins and co pay, there has to be an answer- Geez!!!!

Just 15 minute scan and reading of scan is $1200+ $400 then add in the additional the doctor will bill for his visits and the response. (If you don't have insurance - GET SOME !!!!

Regardless what it is or how we entwine ourselves, they remain there always for us.
The gift of honor we give in return to her is the blessing she is due. We should work hard to know more and share more of how to be grateful, for it is always of many challenges and many struggles that she does what mothers do.
Even until the dying days, she tries to hide her pains, bear the hardships of illness and even the overwhelming sacredness and painful things of sickness within the older age. They summon something often we don't understand, which is the smile or a graceful word, a word of care for us, even when she herself is suffering.
