Do not accept ...

Tadammm...

It is that time again. The hoaxes fly like falling leaves through Facebook, and so many join the nonsense.

Do not accept a friendship request from me, this is my only account.

People....   relax :)

It sometimes happens, that people try to copy accounts from others, true. And then this message is legal and needed.  I had the same, at a moment that someone used my name and id.  There are ways to get that solved.
Further, you  should not underestimate your friends. People can see when you are active, and with what account. When people make a new account,  just  communicate shortly in private messages, to find out who is who.

The present Facebook storm repeats itselves every few months. It is not only irritating, to find  many times the same message in the 'news feed', but it is as well not needed.  Use such messages, if you are 100 percent sure that it s happening to you.
Do not use it 'just to be safe'.  Because spreading this cr..p, makes others taking your warnings less serious.   You will get less response when you really need it.


Think.. write your post (don't copy!!!), and think again, if you really need to post it.

World animal day

October 4th, world animal day.

And how do we celebrate that?

When I was a young kid, I had little idea about it. In school the teacher showed us an animal, or we went to visit an animal zoo (most likely the cache with parkeets in the park).
Then already I did not like animals that are cached up, but I had no nightmares about it.
When my children were young, this day was always special.  The children brought their animal in school, and they became a favorite snack.
Now I think, maybe the animals got into stress, from this, but for the children, it was a good moment to realize that they have pets and that they  love animals.  And our cats never had really  traumas because of it :)

Nowadays, I see more and more people 'celebrating'  world animal day with petitions and suggestions, like 'No meat today'.  
Okay.. Everyone can hav his/her own opinion in this.   Ehm. that should be the end of this blog... and that is booooring, so I add my opinion about that.

It irritates me, when people put up that kind of reminders.
I think that we should have a free choice, in how we live. When we want to eat meat, fine, when not, also fine. For both optiions there are legal arguements!

A World Animal Day is good. Not only to celebrate your own animals, but as well to take a look at the animals that are not this lucky and live under horrible circumstances.  Not only in 'meat factories', but for example, in exiles in Rumania (and all over the world), where  the conditions are heartbraking and the live of the pets is horrible.

And of course this all needs attention, and I should wish that everyone takes care, then it should not happen.  There are many ways to support animal protection and the best ways are, when people help,  it is in our nature.

I dislike organisations like PETA, who use violence to gain their targets.  For me the 'eat no meat' (and similar petitions are compareable with this violence.  They do not convice anyone from changing their attitude to animals!

Everybody should have his or her own choice to help.  Just DO it!  Support your local Animal rescue, donate for castrations of wild cats and dogs,
Eat less meat, buy from local butchers.  But if you only do it today, then you can leave it, it is useless! Think before you buy your food.
Realize that when you buy 1 kilo of Spare Ribs, that it most likely means that the animal has not have a great llfe.  At our local Butcher it costs double, but you may know where it comes from, and that the welfare of the animals is proved (and guaranteed).  Yes, then I take half a kilo of it, that won't hurt me.  A bit more money for your meal, and a much more healthy piece of food at your plate, is a good alternative.

And in the mean time.  Give your dog or cat  that extra treat, today. (is it vegan?  Just asking.. for a fiend :-D )
  I am sure he will love it much more then when you dress him with a party hat, because that gives you some  likes.

The plan is to eat a hamburger tonight.  And I delete the messages that tell me to eat no meat today.  Because I care!

One Night stand

We are living in a crazy world.

I do not knkow if it is much different then, say, 20, 30 years ago, or longer, but since we are able to know literarily everything what happens in the world, we get a load more information as well.

In my youth (what is longer ago then 30 years, lol), we did not hear too much about what was happening in the world. Yes, we had television, I remember the murders at Martin Luter King and JFK very well, as well as the landing on the moon.
Later I also read the conspiracy theories about it.

This morning, the social madia are full about the love declaration, of a man who calls himself president (I refuse to mention his name!), and the leader of North Korea (ditto).
He wrote me such beautiful letters, I fell in love with him.

What a shout out huh?

And what a moment to do so.
Short before the ellections in the US, this idiot is tellng things that no one  can (or shall) prove, as he is doing always.
The sexist, rapist, and homophobist, now declares his love for a man. A man that does not give a sh...t about what the so called leader of the US is doing.

Agent Orange is a man who constantly proves that he hates feminism, hates gay people, hates people that opposite him, and who not even notice that the world is not taking him serious, when all UNO leaders laugh him out.
And that disgusting person, now tries to find sympathy with the layer of the population, that he has doomed the past years?  Look to the facts, who he wans to  be not serving the army!  Exactly.

Don't believe the propaganda. This joker is exactly what he is. A laugh. No one in the world takes him serious.

To return to my micro world. I sadly have experiencced how it is to be friends with a narcist (what this fake leader is as well).  They are not capable to see their own mistakes. It is always the other, to blame,. It makes their own world a bit more easy.  But it makes the world of their friends, and who really cares, to a hell.

Enough said.
I want you all to be happy. Love each other. But do not fake it, because, sooner or later, you will be kicked off and leave others in a very sad  way behind.

Statements

Regurarily I read statements of people, at Facebook, in what people explain their behavior.

The content varies, and can often be resumed in.. I do it my way, because I am me, and if you don't like that, you don't like me.

Often this is followed by an advice (unfriend me, before I unfriend you)

And two months later, a similar post comes. Other words, same content. Most likely, it is dedicated to someone else, the name of thad boy/girl is not revealed (what is good).

I love freedom.

I always wish others to be free to speak out their mind as well. Respectful, of course, and no hate or racism, you know what I mean.
And I use that freedom as well. I am aware that I now and then am not very tactical, and say things that others do not want to hear or see. You always have the choice, to  read what I write, or not. And if you do, then realize who writes it, and what it really means.
Being friends with me brings the risk that you read more about how I think and how I am, then when we are not friends.
I decide myself, who I want as friends at Facebook, and who not. If  you block me, go ahead!
If I don't want to read what you write, then I will make sure that I am no friends with you.  I do not want to have friends, that are just around for curiousity.   I know some, at the social media, are only there to 'look'  at me.  That are not friends. Therefore I can delete them with  a click, and forget them forever.

Don't torture yourself with therathening others with penatlies.  Just do it!  And if not, then acccept the person the way (s)he is. Until the moment that you change your mind.  And that is no one elses' business then yours.

In the city

When you go to the city and
.. want to pick up the camera, what is reparird and the repair department is closed. Finding a helpful retailer that digs it up for me anyway.

-- get the advice to not buy a supply, because it is too expensive, the salesman takes effort and explains price and alternatives.  Going to the 'alternative shop, where the salesman looks as if I ask something disgusting, mumbles, we not sell that and makes me feel like leaving the shop right away (what I did!)

--  going to a 3rd shop, where the 'alternative'  is, and even soled as a bargain. Saved over 30 Euro.

-- running cheerful to the chocolate store (Lindt), ask the lady if they have coconut choclate,  get rewarded wit an alternative, and a big smile, who tells that they are available after Easter, again.
-- When buying too much chocolate, getting  one for free at the cash deck. :)

-- when the woman at the bakery desk smiles when she guts a piece of the wrong cake for you

-- when the grocery seller puts up a handful of salad extra, because I paid with coins money.

--  when the tram holds on for 15 minutes and no one is telling what is going to happen. Doors locked, ambulance and police passing by.  Hopefully the lady is doing well again, after her drop of the tram-stairs.

When you are finally home and realize that you did not forget ANY THING at all today ..

When you realize that you know why you are smiling
