It was not asleep

 Long time, the western world thought, that the russian bear was asleep.  There was a time of Glasnost, and with the countries joining the EU, the western world thought that things were better now.

The former Pres of America, aka the horror clown,  and the russian Bear did have nice talks, and both parties were talking about reducing nuclear power and so more. Germany made a deal with Russia, about getting gas out of the USSR.  
And the world was all in peace.  We were colleciively judging China, for its never ending power, and we do raise our finger, because the chinese are not only still progressing in Tibet, but now, systematically, killing the tibetan culture and religion. Same goes for the Ugarian area.  But well, we need china, as if only for our corona test sticks.
And yes, Russia was threathening the Ukraine, and others, but it was not more as that.
We went asleep, America became an adult President again, and, instead of making funny homophobia jokes, this president warned Russia, for not undermining other countries. A very clear sign for peace and democracy, for all the countries world wide.
Russia meanwhile, had not enough in killing secrent agents and prisoning opposition leaders anymore.-

Putinbaby needed to show his power a bigt more. Meanwhile he has all the lines in his own hands, is able to make decissions without the Puna (if I write the thing correctly...).  He is the ruler of his country (and a good example for other mini dictators, what want to be the same, but have no idea how to do it.
Putin, the sleeping bear, was not sleeping at all. He  had his plan ready, long before anyone in the rest of the world was even aware of the things tht might happen.f

Now Putin is, in fact, a small man, who needs to prove himself constantly. Too old now to bath in ice, or to ride a horse with bare chest,

Herr M

 So wie in jeder Stadt  laufen auch bei uns Menschen rund, die um Geld betteln.

Ich kenne mir ein bisschen aus mit den Obis, wie ich sie liebäugelnd nenne.  Die meisten sind okay, man soll nur aufpassen, wenn sie zu viel genommen haben,  egal Alkohol, Tropfen, oder etwas geraucht. Wenn man sich nicht mehr ganz unter Kontrolle hat, passieren auch mal unangenehme Sachen.

Herr M kenne ich schon Jahre.  Eine der wenigen, auf der Straße, die mehr Wörter benütut als nur halloooo, oder eine Spendeeeeeee. Wir kIcennen einander, und wenn er wieder mal ein paar Wochen nicht da ist, dann frage icch, in Stille, was los ist.  Sicher in diese unsichere Zeiten kann man ja nicht wissen.

Ich hatte Herr M schon langer nicht gesehen und Azu meine Erleichterung war er wieder da. Er hat 8 Wochen im Krankenhaus verbracht, wegen einen OP an seine Beine. Stolz zeigte er, wie seine Beine aussehen, er trug einen Rock, so das nichts verhüllt blieb. Von der Beine. Weiter alles logo.

Natürlich kam die Frage, Geld, Gras.... und ich sagte zu ihm,  komm mit, ich muss zum Drogerie, dann kannst du da einkaufen, was du brauchst. Sein Gesicht,..  so voll freude..  allleine darum war es mir schon wert, ihm mitzunehmen.  
Ich hatte ihm einen Budget von 10 Euro gegeben, er hat Dusschgel genommen, Seife, und noch einiges zum Naschen, 
Bei der Kassse zeigte ich meinen App, so das er noch Rabatt bekommen hat, und für das Geld hat er mir eine Kaffee geschenkt,  Er wollte unbedingt mal etwas für mich tun, ich kann
das verstehen, muss nicht, aber er ist einfach dankbar. Und das ist den Grund, das er etwwas von mir bekommt, und anderen nicht,

Es war einen super schönen Tag!  Heute morgen war ich zum Selikum,  Eisvogel gesehen, andere Vögelchen und sehr entspannt gelaufen. Bei der Cornelius Kapelle habe ich ein Kerzchen gebrant. In Gespräch habe ich gebeten, ob ich meine Positivität behalten kann, und ob ich meine Welt, und die Welt von allen um mich hin, ein bisschen farben geben kann.

Und es geschah,  sofort,

Wundern sind da. Wir können sie selbst machen.  Danke Herr M, das du das für mich getan hast.

Help

 Diskussion at Fsacebook

The original poster complains, that the one he helped out of the bus, did not saythank you.

Now I must say, that there is a different, in being gentle, how it is handled in Germany, compared with the Netherlands. In Germany, people expect kindnes, Höfligkeit, when you help someone, a thank you or so.

The poster said he hleped someone, but that this someone did not say thank you. The poster announced, that he will continue, helping people, even with this experience.

It made me thinking about my expereindce with people who need help. Enabled, or, with a trolley or whatever, what indicates that they need it to get on the road anyway.

The discussion I had, with someone in a wheelchair, who told me, that he is tired, that people always expect him to be grateful for the help. And that people really get irritated, or p.ssed, when you not give a sign of being thankful.

I think that that man was right. Why should anyone show thankful, for getting help. Of course, people are happy with the help, but why do you help, at all?  Is the help only finished, when you get a smile and a thank you back?  Is the other rude, when he is not acting like that (because, for example, he sttill needs to concentrate on being safe, after the help?

Isn't it enough 'reward', when you see that the other managed, with a little help?
We continue our road, and eventually help one more at our way. 
They continue their roaad, and definitely need more help, on their way

It gives me a very uncomfortable feeling, to see that everyone has an opinion, about that it is normal to be grateful for help.
And beware if not!
As if the limitation in mobility is a free choice from the ones who need the help
No one asks the person who needed help.  We all spent our time with judging others... and meanwhile forget to help others.  

Okay, twisted thoughts, I know :)

2 weeks of 2022

 Can you imagine? The year is only 2 weeks old, and so much did happen.

A tennis star, who refuses the corona vaccinations is banned from the Australian Open, and everyone has an opinion about it. Me too,  even when I do not know him personally.
In short, I thihk that someone should stand for his behavior. Who not wants to vaccinate, should not do it. And should take the consequenses. No Jab, No play.
Strangely the organisation of the AO did not mind. They planned him in and allowed him training, at the few days between the law circus around this man.  Lucky, he is not Jesus and send out of the country. Now he is in Dubai. Why Dubai? Why not Serbia, where he is from?

Russias plans to invate Ukraine, another thing to get upset for! I leave it to the americans, to take care for that. They say they diliver gas to Germany. Do we want that??

And, to take it closer to house, I am really getting fed up, with all that walks from those Anti Cornoa Clique. They get louder and louder (not more) and offer nazis and faschischten the perfect cover to go legal. Ugh!

Even closer, about corona. I took the booster 3, this week, and it feels good. I was at a Impf to go, and the organisation was perfect.

Oh, and Ajax wan in Utrecht, 0 to 3, I love my account at Dazn! 
Oh, and I got a new Mobile!  A chinese one, but well, so be it. I will not type or share this blog there, :) and I have nothing to hide. 

Life is good to me. This week, wednessday it is bananananana day again. Further a few other things to do are there, we shall see how it all works out. Life is good, and I wish that everyone should be nice to him, or herself in the first place. When you have pain, go to the doctor. When a person is poison for you, get rid of him or her!

Be good! you are effing worth it

Hate Speech

 Most likely one of the most underestmated forms of bullying, is hate speech.  And internet is good in hate speech!  The hate heroes are, safely behind their keyboards, threathening others and so often it is unseen.  

Facebook has the solution.  They send bots at their platform, and they tackle all what has to do with misbehaving. As in N-zis symbols, as in n!pples, as in h@te speech.
When I said, that amircans are crazy, now and then,  BAM!!!!  Penalty!  Not allowed to post into groups anymore, for 28 days.  

Arrgh..  I could object against their decission.  To my surprise I found out today (a week later), that my punishment is over.  Appearantly someone thought it was not sooooooo bad, that a week of silence is enough. 

Many of us have experienced such behavior of the Bots of FaceBook.  A friend got penalty because of liking too many posts.  Those silly bots :) :) 

Anyway, such gives reasons to gigle. And the lessen learned. Even a Mega Institute as FaceBook (I dont uses MeTa, yet), is limited by the inflexible technique. Technique, apps, are only as clever as the people that give their input.  I leave it to you, to conclude if that is a compliment or not, I don't do HateSpeech :)

lucky me

 Lucky me

That I am not fully dependend on FB, if I need, or want, to contact 'the world'
Lucky me, that I have more accounts. Who should have thought, 10 years ago, when playing MafiaWars, that I should use such an account, as a kind of backup, for when I have, emmm.. issues... with FB (again)?

Anyhow, the year 2022 starts with a FaceBook limitation, what only allows me to post at my own FB page, other places are unreachable until February.

And why? Because I was wondering how silly (narrow minded) people can be. I specified it to americans, and there I went wrong. BANG, a ban.  

The only reason why I mention this, where I can, is, to show how subtile censorship works.  If you say, oh, how sensible Americans are, it is for Facebook readers a sign to react, to report and consequently for Facebook a reason to restrict your freedom of expression. It is just the few words, that the decission is based on. That subtile sensorship works. Big chance that I will be more careful with the words I choose, next time.  And after a while I forget it and we get into the same procedure again.

I found out to be in Jail with a few persons, who I admire for their open mind, and the fact thta they dare to speak out their opinion. Appearantly, and clear, we are not expressing something radical, but just critical. 
I feel comfortable, with the knowledge that those people are having the same restrictions.

Freedom of speech has long gone from FaceBook.  Be alert. Realize in what you are restricted, and why. And, by who.

And lucky enough, I am still allowed to post at my site. Good news, because there is a new collaboration coming up!

thank God ...


We are in December. And this year the December month will confrontate us with restrictions that are needed to get the virus a bit under control.

Intensive checks, everywhere, about our vaccination and even more for people who are not vaccinated.  
I not understand the  very few rules, that come, to me it could have been a bit more strict, but, alas, I understand the immense pressure of the shops and others who make a lot of money in this wonderful time of the year.

I do try to not wonder too much, about the night clock in the netherlands, and the open pubs here in Germany.
I can follow my own rules. I not need to wait until it is orderedk to wear a mask in the street. I do it from free will, because I think with that I can limit the possible infections. If the virus spreads, then not through me!
So.. the traditional Christmas markets are there. Not so crowded, and strictly controlled (I hope..). It is a different thing, because it is not the 'no Iworries, christmas is coming'  but it is the careful 'christmas is coming, but be careful with celebrating.
Some Christmas markets are huge (cologne), others are small, and rather more a family and friends gathering.

I debated with myself, if I should go to one, to visit some friends. That is one of thos small markets. 
I decided to go not.  I do not feel well, with, when there is a strict control, and then meeting friends, with who I, without any question, would not take the safe distance.
I am not afraid, but, as I wrote above, the virus should not spread through me.

In that optic, I am happy, that, a few days ago, I went photo shooting with my bestie. Us two, in the anonymousity of the big city. Yes, the double check at the christmas market, but no one there who knew us, and the hot chocolate was exactly perfect.  

Friends will miss me, this weekend. I don't feel bad about it. A bit sad, yes, I wished it would be different.
The decission to not go there, is giving me a good feeling. I not need to be scared about what can happen. I can prepare safely in the days to christmas. And, who knows, maybe I will go to one market, sunday. But then alone, so that I feel secure, and can face my dear ones  with a safe feeling, that all is fine and well'

And it is a sign of the crazy times, that >I, on foward, feel that I have to explain my decsion :)
