Christian Mingle = Christian Swindle

Internet dating sites.  Beware.  Think of all dating sites as an overcrowded shark tank and you're the bleeding chum that gets tossed in for the feeding frenzy.  Delicate ladies who are down on the bar scene and John Deere tractor pulls try their hand at "respectable" dating venues looking for a guy who may actually be interested in something more than youth, ass, and tits.  Enter Christian Mingle.

It's like looking for Bigfoot.  We women have all heard stories that such a guy exists, but nobody has any actual footage.  The only "footage" we have available is what they guy told us.  It's actually "inch-age"  Another lie for another time.  Sigh.

Anyway, there is NO WAY to screen internet dates.  It's worse than Russian roulette.  A recent episode involved a friend of mine trying to interact with a guy who shared her conservative Christian views.  She was open and honest about who she  was and what she was about.  She falsely believed that looking for a date on Christian Mingle would be a safe place.  

Long story short, this Mr. Christian Mingle led my friend to believe he was a legit contractor from the east coast looking to relocate.  After several false websites and other manufactured lies, she comes to find out he was just a scammer.  He took my friend for $5,000 and she is not a stupid woman.  Her crime was that she believed in the possibility of finding love.  

Do I Warn Her?

I've been associating with the same guys for almost 30 years.  I've come to know this crew for better and for worse and know the details on their personal lives.  I've been friends with their wives, girlfriends, mistresses, etc., and I have seen many ladies come and go through many of their relationships.  Some of the relationships these men were having with these ladies were running parallel with each other.  I vowed NEVER to be the one to slip such information to the other woman. 

It's hard for me to become "friends" with these ladies as usually the man tires of her, dumps her, and pursues a younger, prettier version to put on his arm to parade around.  I've seen it happen countless times.  These guys discard women like cars and always want the newest model.  They ride inside of them for a bit and do a trade in.

Which brings me to last night.  The latest lady of one of these guys is actually very nice.  She has all the visual trappings that guys lust after -- even if they're surgically inserted and proportioned.  I did not expect her to hold a conversation that was deeper than her cleavage, but she did.  I liked her in spite of myself. 

I know the history of her guy.  She thinks she's in love, and I think he is as well and the infatuation is reciprocal.....for the next 8 to 24 months, anyway.  I've seen this guy go through countless relationships and marriages.  He comes across all sweet and attentive, but I know his flaws probably all too well.  I see a disaster heading her way along with a broken heart and a drained bank account. 

Do I warn her???????? 

Planned Parenthood Part II

Now that I've vented about idiot people who have not figured out that sex produces babies, I'm going to go one step beyond -- fatherhood entrapment.

Guys think with their dicks.  Women know this.  The last thing a guy is thinking about at the point of getting lucky is whether or not his minute of pleasure will produce a life long after effect (whether it be a disease or a child).  Women also know this.

I'm not trying to put blame solely on women for birth control, but biologically our commitment to the before, during, and after sex, and any related implications nature has placed on us.  Protect yourself, sister.  Think an "oopsie" pregnancy will make him propose or be your financial meal ticket for life?  Think again, sister.  Guys naturally freak out at the permanence of parenthood and run.  Not even his own flesh and blood will make him commit to a lifetime with you. 

Don't believe me?  Look around.  How many "fatherless" families and single moms do you know?  How many agencies are looking for "dead beat dads."  How many billions is owed in pack pay for child support and alimony?

In the meantime the woman is struggling to make ends meet and now she is saddled with another mouth to feed and goes on public assistance.  Some women whore themselves out to guys with money and repeat the process having children from multiple fathers to try to secure a constant stream of child support/alimony.  These babies brought into this world are not objects and are NOT pawns to be used in your financial/relationship chess game.

Planned Parenthood

Yes, I donate money to Planned Parenthood.  Why?  Because the biggest time and financial commitment of your life should not be an "oopsie" after a one night stand and a bottle of tequila.  Nor should it be entrapment used by women to make a guy commit or trapping a guy using the "oopsie" excuse.

That crap does not fly with Quiet Rage.  In this day and age there is NO EXCUSE for an unplanned pregnancy.  We all know where babies come from.  Why, pray tell, do people get all warped and act surprised when the proverbial stork is planning a visit?  Unless it's the immaculate conception, you should plan on the possibility of pregnancy any time that penis gets near a vagina.

Duh.

Sorry, but I donate money for FREE birth control for both sexes and unbiased, factual information for those of you who missed out on the birds and bees conversation.  Pretending ignorance and surprise after conception just makes me want to slap you even harder.

The world is already full of stupid people.  Please stop producing more.  I'm donating large sums to mitigate this.  However, only people with brain cells are taking Planned Parenthood up on this.  Unfortuantely, the people with brain cells are not the ones mindlessly reproducing contributing to an already over populated world comprised of mental midgets.

Table Manners: No iPhone Zone

Today's topic is basic table manners while dining with others.  Yes, I do understand that we as a species are struggling with leaps in technology that are not keeping up with evolution.  Sigh.  That means there are countless hairless apes passing themselves off as dignified humans trying to dine at restaurants with the company of each other.  Allow Quiet Rage to help.

1.  Put your cell phone away during dinner.  Unless it's an emergency that warrants 911, it is rude to abandon the company of those present to check your email or social media "likes."

2.  Never receive a call during dinner....again...unless it's an emergency that warrants 911 intervention.  It's rude to abandon the company of those present to attend to somebody not present.

3.  Never fact check a statement made at dinner using iPhone Siri at dinner if conversation suddenly turns to a potential debate in the attempts to make your dining companions "wrong" and you, of course, "right."

4.  I'm amazed at how many grown-ups I see in restaurants lately seated a table together and each of them gazing at their iPhones instead of engaging in conversation with each other.  To me, that is the ultimate social insult.  Stay at home and order in a f***** pizza if you find the company of others annoying and unengaging.  You'd be doing everybody a favor.

5.  If you do decline all decency and social graces by attending to your electronic leash abandoning human company, PLEASE remove yourself within earshot of others.  Nobody wants to hear your one sided conversations at elevated tones attempting to make you appear more important than you really are.  cc

FIFA: Originated in France?

FIFA must have originated in France.  The players portray themselves as tough guys, but suddenly turn into whiners dramatically falling and exaggerating imaginary injuries in the hopes of selling such acting job to the refs to punish the opposing team.

What a bunch of DRAMA QUEENS.

FIFA should have their own category at the Oscars...  and the winner goes to?????????

Parties and Events: Proper Behavior

Ahhhhhhhh Summer.  'Tis the season for so many celebratory social functions and parties.  Today's topic will cover a myriad of types of celebrations such as weddings, graduations, birthday parties, and the like.  Here is my quick list of social no-no's for hosts and guests alike:

1.  NEVER entertain beyond your financial means.  Under no circumstances is it OK to ask your invited guests to "chip in" for anything -- and that includes parties you have arranged at a restaurant.  Guests should never anticipate the need to pay for anything nor feel the need to bring a wallet or purse;

2.  Invitations should be promptly answered.  No excuses.  Granted, I'm not a fan of "e-vite" or any of that other impersonal, computerized crap but at least call the person and let them know.  You do not owe the host any prolonged explanation of why you're not attending, a simple "yes, thank you for including us" or "no, I regretfully decline"  is all etiquette requires;

3.  Gift registries and the like are nothing more than dressed up begging.  Despite their rampant popularity, under no circumstances should guests be directed how to spend their money and how much.  I can hear you all wailing about "How do we know what the guest(s) of honor want?"  If you are directed by the guest(s) of honor to consult a stranger to do your shopping with a preassigned price and wish list, you have no business being invited to their personal, milestone event.  You really do not know the guest(s) of honor that well and owe them nothing.  Send a congratulatory card;

4.  Under no circumstances is it OK to throw a party in your own honor.  If you want people around, do not name a specific purpose and have a party for the simple sake of having a party;

5.  Toddler birthdays.  Really?  They are so overboard it's insane.  How much crap can one kid possibly accumulate?

6.  Weddings.  Bear in mind they are really only a big deal for the bride and her mother.  Don't make us suffer with excessive travel plans, expenses, and time commitments.  No, we don't want to be dragged around the country/world.

7.  Graduations.  A fun rite of passage.  Don't get carried away;

8.  GOLDEN Rule for Both Hosts and Guests:  NEVER post pictures or information on any type of social media.  It is impossible to include everybody at every event.   Refrain from "tagging" and other identifying pictures.  After all, your guests blew off Uncle Fred's birthday party citing a sudden food poising illness to attend yours.  How upsetting it would be for the rest of the family if they found out via social media post.  

Great Auntie

A couple of days ago I became a great auntie.  The arrival of this baby has the most unique set of stars I have seen.  Why?  Here is the synopsis.

The mother is my niece.  She is 17 and just graduated from high school.  The father of this baby just got out of prison for child pornography and sex with underage girls.  He is 24 and is from out of state.  His family is nowhere to be found but he claims his family is part owners of Wal-Mart (I can't make this stuff up).

What I can't figure out for the life of me is that my niece thinks she LOVES this guy.  I have no idea what she sees in him, but my niece is the only one working two jobs trying to make things work financially while he works at McDonald's 40 hours on the weekends only..(don't feel badly, I can't make the math work, either).

The father of this child lives in a motel room and does not have a driver's license.  I think he has some outstanding warrants on his whereabouts and if he went into the DMV they would locate him.  In the meantime my niece drives him everywhere including to the hospital when she was in labor.

Friday the 13th comes with a full, honey moon along with the arrival of this newborn.  How they are going to live in a motel with a baby is beyond my comprehension.  I have no clue as to whom is going to care for this baby while mom works two jobs to support them all.  Dad?

Where is the rest of the family?  My sister and her daughter have butted heads from day one.  The dynamics are way too complicated for a stupid blog post.

A new life was brought into this world with all cards stacked against her.  Her stars are the culmination of so much karma spanning centuries.  I can already tell this newborn is going to be a fighter and a survivor.  She has to be.

Freaking Out Park Rangers

Quiet Rage is on a some-what vacation far from home.   Today I visited a state park on a whim.  There were tons of other tourists as well as this spot is pretty well known and frequented by people from around the world.  I keep on managing to freak people out without even trying.  Here is today's episode visiting a popular state park.

We park the car.  We all pile out and head our way down the trail to the water.  It's about a 1/2 mile walk from the parking lot to water.  While walking on the trail the hair on my arms stood up and I did not know why.  I noticed piles of rocks on either side of me and did not have a clue why they were there.  I immediately knew this spot was of major significance as the energy was that strong.

Anyway, on the walk back I decided to stop in at the park ranger's office to inquire about the history of the place. There were two park rangers who greeted me upon my entry.  I meekly asked what the history of the place was and the significance of the piles of rocks.  I told them I thought the place had some sort of historical significance and was curious as I "felt" it.  I was directed to study the standard wall posters in historical sequence from ancient times to present.  While I was standing at the wall reading about the history I could hear the park rangers speaking in hushed tones that "she knows" like they were trying to figure out how much information they should really give me besides the standard tourist brochure.  I decided to save them the trouble.

I just blurted out that the place was a sacred place to the ancients and how where the fresh water met the sea was the primo spot for a village that thrived for centuries.  It was not without its sadness and sacrafices.  Some of the souls of this village never left.  They are still hanging around stuck.  The soul of a strong male figure still lingers.  He is kind of pissed off that the site of his "village" is now treated like so flippantly like Disneyland.  Don't these clueless tourists know anything?

Anyway, as I was leaving the park rangers office the woman park ranger ran after me.  She stopped me at the exit and said, "Hardly anybody ever notices what you notice.  Mahalo and Aloha."

"Like Us on Facebook"

No, I won't "like" you on Facebook.  Why?  Because I really don't "like" you. 

What started out as casual socializing between people has turned into a billion dollar industry.  See, as with all trends, it starts out as something between friends and all of a sudden strangers, businesses, politicians, etc., try to market their clumsy selves and pry into your social network and command/beg you to "like" them for financial gain.

Facebook is a gold mine for personal information and marketing.  Same with Twitter.  Of course it's bombarded now with news feeds, advertisements, and the like.  Once you click on something that directs you to another site to read, your internet cookies are tossed all over the place.  No pun intended.   What are cookies?  Cookies are tiny text files stored on a website that collect your information when you visit that site.  It's not regulated as to what information is collected, stored and (cough, cough) sold.  I guess you could call it a type of spyware. 

Think about that before you "like" something on Facebook.

Stick Figure Families

Oh yeah.... Quiet Rage has some kindred souls.

Vacancy

I've worked in the same building for 25+ years.  At this point I believe I'm the senior tenant.  Over the course of a quarter century I've seen lots of tenants come and go.

There is a lady in my building I've come to know as we see each other in the hallway, in the ladies room, parking lot, etc.  She is a really sweet woman who is all too trusting.  She's divorced and has been trying her hand at the dating scene.  She has been in my building for about 10 years. 

Anyway, a guy moved into an adjacent office in our building about two years ago.  It did not take this guy long to figure out which ladies in the building were vulnerable, and the Sweet Lady was one of them.  From the very beginning I never liked nor trusted this guy.  There were dots that I could not connect and I just picked up a vibe that he was a scammer and kept my distance.   Each and every brief hallway conversation I had with this guy revolved around how wonderful, wealthy, smart, and important he was.  That was enough for me.  I will refer to him for the rest of the story as Mr. Yuk.

Sweet Lady and Mr. Yuk became an "item" and everybody in the building knew it.  We did not care, as it's none of our business.  Sweet Lady was all a-blush with her new beau.  He had all the visible trappings of being so perfect.   My radar still picked up on something on this guy despite Sweet Lady's infatuation with him.  Ahhhhhhhh, love.  I would just smile and nod and allow her to gush on.  Who am I to rain on her parade?

Still, I could never figure out how Mr. Yuk's business deals actually worked.  Granted, I was removed from the situation and it was none of my business and I never asked questions. Sweet Lady was head over heals for Mr. Yuk and gobbled up his each and every word like Gospel.

Well, as of yesterday Mr. Yuk's office is now vacant -- he disappeared in the classic fly-by-night move leaving no forwarding information and lots of money owed in back rent. 

Psychic Hits While Vacuuming

My psychic hits come at the most unpredictable times and places.  I wish I could say that I set up this space in the woods during a full moon with sacred rituals, music, and chants to channel energy in, but my hits are much, MUCH more mundane and boring.

Today's psychic hit came while I was vacuuming the living room.

During the boring chore of vacuuming I got an overwhelming sense of my children's grandmother and great-grandmother (on their father's side).  They did not like each other.  That much I knew.  However, I did not know the depth of their dislike for each other.

Anyway, I got this whoosh of anger and stubbornness from both of grandma and great-grandma.  In the act of trying to get back at each other with their petty anger and jealousy they were, in actuality, hurting the other family members and tearing the family apart -- the very people they claimed they "loved."

Both grandma and great-grandma were right about each other, and yet both of them were so wrong.  No matter.  The damage was done.

Today's other psychic hit was fostered by my bestie from back home, JLB.  We are concerned about my 17 year-old niece who is about to give birth.  The circumstances are less than perfect.  We decided to meditate about it at the same time despite we are half a continent apart.  The overwhelming wave of energy that I received was that of life on this plane is not perfect.  For whatever reason, and I don't understand what it is, this is a multi-generational bit of karma that is exploding so nobody can ignore it anymore.  In the same wave, it's not my job to attempt to "fix" anything.  It can't be fixed....only accepted and embraced.  Anger and shaming will do nothing positive.

How to Lose a Woman: Forever

This should be required reading for all men who desire the company of women.  So many men JUST DO NOT GET IT (sigh).  This is how you lose a woman -- forever.  Before you men get all defensive and pissy, this was written by Mr. Travis McGee.  There is way more to this than the simplified bullet list, but here it is just the same.  

HOW TO LOSE A WOMAN
1.  Do not protect her;

2.  Do not respect her;
3.  Do not listen to her;
4.  Look at her like an object;
5.  Take her for granted;
6.  Don't let her know she's important;
7.  Cheat;
8.  Don't commit;
9.  Don't kiss her;
10.  Don't change your habits;
11.  Don't romance her;
12.  Don't take her anywhere;
13.  Hate apologizing;
14.  Don't learn what emotional intimacy is;
15.  Don't man up and deal with it.

1. Don’t protect her.

She’s a big girl. There’s no reason to help her feel safe in the way she needs to feel safe. There are no guarantees in life so it’s not rational to expect security in relationships. (And nothing is more rational than love.) Her emotional security is paramount to her. This means she wants to rely on you to always be there for her and can count on you to be her best friend. Allow her to feel alone and abandoned, and you will experience both.

2. Don’t respect her.

Simple. Treat her like crap. If she doesn’t take it, she’ll leave and you’ll be miserable. If she does, she’ll stay and you’ll both be miserable. Treating her like the extraordinary woman she is will only increase her expectations, attitude, and hope, and courage, and affection, and love …

3. Don’t listen to her.

Every time she talks either tune her out or try to solve her problems. Do not, under any circumstances come to the realization that her feel­ings are the prob­lem she needs to com­mu­ni­cate to you. She doesn’t want you to DO anything. (After all, if she wanted your help she would ask for it. Seriously, she will.) And if you wanted her to feel closer to you than anyone else in the world you would not lis­ten to her prob­lems, but to her feel­ings. That takes paying sharp attention to her and learning how to really listen beyond her words. You would have to look at her as a person of near limitless emotional capacity. And all of that would only show her how much you truly value her. Who has that kind of time?

4. Look at her like an object.

All your life you’ve been sizing women up, judging them, taking in their physical being the same way you do with cars, boats or maybe fishing gear. Women are their words, their silence, their movement, the expressions, their work, their art, their friends, their children, their emotions, their thoughts, their hearts and their minds. They are more complex than anything else in the world. If you’re lucky, you might be smart enough to take on the challenge of understanding one someday.

5. Take her for granted.

Let her know she’s nothing special. Devalue everything she does, especially the things she does for you. If you want to make her miserable, sad, hopeless, or just lose her self-esteem make sure she knows she really doesn’t mean that much to you. You can’t be bothered with the fact that she’ll be looking for some kind of positive affirmation from you every day. And giving it to her is not something you can do once a month or week, on holidays or special occasions. She knows you appreciate her when you work at it all the time, especially those times when you don’t have to.

6. Don’t let her know she is important.

This one’s easy. If her father let her know that she is important as a person and you don’t show her the same thing, she won’t even consider a real relationship with you (because she knows you’re wrong.) However, if he didn’t teach her these things (making him was a heartless jerk) then you have to go along with him. Otherwise, if you try to prove her father wrong and treat her with the love and respect she deserves, she will fight you. She may never unbelieve her father’s lie. But if you do choose to take on the job, commit to it like a man.

7. Don’t let her know she is interesting.

Don’t show any interest in her life, her passions, her story, her friends, work, hobbies, troubles, etc. Showing her she bores you is the best way to prove to her that she will never be her best with you.

8. Cheat.

No joking around on this one. Don’t cheat. Have the courage to say no or the decency to end the relationship. Stop and think of the damage you are doing to her for the rest of her life. However, if you want to permanently kill a good section her heart then go ahead. Tell yourself whatever you want. She will never recover, especially if she stays with you.

How Are You?

The most rhetorical question used is "How are you?"

To which the most rhetorical statement is, "I'm fine."

Only once in my life, and it was recently, where I was asked how I was and when I gave the standard reply of "I'm fine" did the person reach out and touch my arm, looked into my eyes and sincerely asked, "No, I'm really asking.... how are YOU?"

I was so dumb founded that somebody actually wanted more than a superficial answer that I did not even know how to reply.  To be honest, I don't even really know how I am.  I guess I don't give it much thought.

Mental Health Gun Control: Mike Thompson

Yup.  The idea you can control guns via mental health is very much indeed, well, mental. 

Nobody can make a certain determination of one's mental health status.  I question the mental health of the group that thinks they can make such a god-like judgement.  The human condition is so complicated and delicate that we are all labeled "mentally ill" by those who are wired differently than ourselves.

Again, it's a group of holier-than-thou-do-gooders "Promoting Healthy Minds for Safer Communities Act of 2014."

If that does not sound like a plot to put us all in therapy, I don't know what is.....Most of the time the therapists are crazier than the patients.

I don't know what the answer is to violence and murders.  Nobody does.  There is a strong argument for gun control.  There is a strong argument against gun control.  My personal belief is that the Second Amendment was written in a time where modern weaponry was inconceivable.  The intent of the Second Amendment was to give means for the people to protect themselves against an intrusive government.

I'm sorry, but even an AKA assault rifle is no match for the technological capabilities of our military. It's like bringing a knife to a gun fight.
