Older Men Scam

Repost

Women often receive warnings about protecting themselves at the mall and in dark parking lots, etc. This is the first warning I have seen for men. I wanted to pass it on in case you haven't heard about it.

A 'heads up' for those men who may be regular customers at Lowe's, Home Depot, Costco, or even Wal-Mart. This one caught me totally by surprise.

Over the last month I became a victim of a clever scam while out shopping. Simply going out to get supplies has turned out to be quite traumatic. Don't be naive enough to think it couldn't happen to you or your friends.

Here's how the scam works;
Two nice looking, college-age girls will come over to your car or truck as you are packing your purchases into your vehicle. They both start wiping your windshield with a rag and Windex, with their breasts almost falling out of their skimpy T-shirts. (It's impossible not to look).

When you thank them and offer them a tip, they say 'No' but instead ask for a ride to McDonald's.

You agree and they climb into the vehicle. On the way, they start undressing. Then one of them starts crawling all over you, while the other one steals your wallet.

I had my wallet stolen May 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, again on the 17th, 20th, 24th, and the 29th.

Also June 1st, 4th, 5th, twice on the 16th & 17th, July 3rd and very likely again this upcoming weekend.

So tell your friends to be careful. What a horrible way to take advantage of us older men. Warn your friends to be vigilant.

So please, send this on to all the older men that you know and warn them to be on the lookout for this scam.The best times are just before lunch and around 4:30 in the afternoon.

Current U.S. Policy

Repost From April 2019

(1) Intimidate
(2) Sanction
(3) Demean
This policy not only applies to foreign countries but towards one another within as well. The measure of a country or man isn't how apt they are at belittling others. Rather by rising to greatness despite not having to encumber others to achieve it.

What's In Your Food- High Fructose Corn Syrup

Repost From September 2009

OBESITY IN AMERICA

While it is a sweetener, it's primary purpose is to get you to consume more product. Manufacturers for years have known that "High Fructose Corn Syrup" increases your appetite cravings.

By adding this ingredient, no matter how much you eat you will feel less full then had it not been added as an ingredient.

Naturalists for years have spouted this and had very little scientific evidence to back them up. It is why I along with them think the reason for this out of control obesity problem in United States cannot be resolved till we lessen it's use.

It is used in most (but not all) of the following products...
     Frozen Concentrated Juices
     Soft Drinks
     Yogurts
     Salad Dressings
     Ice Cream
     Cereal     
     Certain Breads
     Mustard
     Syrups (Pancake, Fudge, etc)
     Steak Sauce
     Bakery Products
     Puddings
     Snacks (Nutrition Bars, Candy Bars, etc.)
     Honey
     Jelly
     Ketchup
     Crackers
     Feed for Honey Bees
     ...and many others (List By Brand)
     Fast Food chain restaurants are notorious for it's use. See: List Of Fast Foods Serving HFC


Now these nay saying naturalists may have their proof!

Quoted excerpts from:
"The brain may not be fooled by sugar substitutes"
The latest evidence for this comes from a brain scanning (MRI) study performed in the Netherlands...

Both sugar and the noncaloric sweeteners activated a brain region called the amygdala, which signals sensory pleasure. But only the sugared drink turned on a cherry-sized nugget of brain tissue in a region called the caudate.

Athletes couldn't consciously distinguish the sugared and nonsugared drinks, but their brains picked up the difference.

..sugared mouth rinses strongly activated two reward centers in the brain, the anterior cingulate cortex and caudate, whereas the artificial sweeteners activated these brain areas only weakly.


* NOTE: The tests were done only with four artificial sweeteners: aspartame, acesulfame K, cyclamate and saccharin. These are "non-glucose" (non natural sugars) the HFC should be (in my opinion) considered as an implied outcome as well. Considering most HFC only contains 10% naturally occurring glucose and 90% non-naturally occurring fructose in the HFC 90. Also available is the HFC 55 formula.(They usually blend the two strengths to get the flavoring they desire)

Considering that every cell in the body can metabolize glucose and all fructose must be metabolized in the liver, one should be bear in mind of the possible consequences of continued ingestion of HFC.

Why The Continue Use?
(1) It makes you feel less full
(2) Sugar tariffs have created this as a cheaper alternative
(3) Manufactures are still allowed to call their products '100% Natural" and/or 'Organic' even when HFC is used

Trip To A Tibetan Monastery

Reposted From: January 12, 2010

First you take the tram up to the start of the trail.
Now follow the path.

A few more steps to go.

Finally in sight.

They say going down is always harder then going up.
I'd rather stay in town and hang out at this local Biker Bar instead!

Michael Jackson | What You Need To Know About Him

In this world of ugliness nothing stands out as a better example then what was done to Michael Jackson. Hence a good deal of my bitterness towards it both then and now in this current environment. It was bad then and even worse now.

This post demonstrates the worse parts of the human race that I want no part in.
