What is the purpose of playing .."Solitaire"?

You know...those games that mean very little...???

Why play them at all??......."Because these card games on the internet...take your mind off of everything else"

Once you start playing...all the other stuff is gone (for a while) ...all you want to do ..is..WIN THE GAME!!!

...............................THAT IS IT....AND THAT IS ALL!!!!!.....................

How about famous quotes, Ok. Here's one, "Friends, Romans and Countrymen, Lend me your ears.

............ I come to bury Caesar Caesar not to praise him................
The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones;
So let it be with Caesar. The noble Brutus Hath told you Caesar
was ambitious: If it were so, it was a grievous fault, And grievously hath Caesar answer’d it."

said by a character named Marc Anthony ....in a play written by a famous writer...(???)

An Example of a Scam Ad .(in my opinion) What do you think? (hit link to see ad)

https://www.bradfordexchange.com/products/918209_harry-potter-hogwarts-express-illuminated-electric.html?cm_ven=GPS&cm_cat=Google%7CProductAds&cm_pla=12426739169%7C116679348405&cm_ite=918209&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIzYWW7_Wf9AIVB3cBCh1nowVKEAEYASACEgKc9vD_BwE

__________________________________________________________________________________________________

Why is this a scam ad?....Because the key words are printed in the very smallest print & although there is a picture of what is to come, those 3 wards are the key: Those words are:....... "each issue"...

...How many people realize buying the entire train, pictured in the ad....will cost $at least $400.00 and perhaps as much as much as $600.00 or more............................................................................................................... .
.....That depends on the number of cars that a person allows to be ordered.)...The $89.00 mentioned in the
ad is for one car, not the whole train. While the whole train could cost 5 or 6 times as much. There are some people who will not realize the entire cost of a whole train. (which is not mentioned at all)...will be ????
... How many cars are sent? (not known, and not mentioned) ...(total cost of train..not mentioned)..(never mentioned)

...Also:shipping and handling are also small letters that are not clear.. (my guess is that that cost is $13.99. (not clear in the ad)...So, the entire cost of the train goes up even more. Let's guess that there are 5 cars total..Each car costs $89.00 plus $14.00 shipping costs...(103.00) times 5 (total number of cars).. equals $515.00 total...

........The ad purposely does not mention the total cost since $89.00 seems reasonable..and $515.00 is a whole lot more
than reasonable ... Also shipping and handling are not even spelled out completely..(if that is what that means).

.....The ad is a con, and that is ......not a mistake... Therefore a 5 car train will cost $515. Only those who add up the entire cost of a 5 car train will figure this out...That is why I think this is a con. At no point does the ad say what a complete
train will cost, only one car and what that car costs. You got to sit down and figure out what an entire train will cost
if you are going to buy...Again, that is not done in the ad, and is no mistake.. (in my opinion)

(And....Yes, You are Correct.....Model Trains are a hobby of mine..I got more than one, a lot more)

Why Trump cannot be elected to anything: 2 statenets : 1."It's all a hoax"...referring to pandemic.

and...2:..Americans Who Died in War Are: 'Losers' and 'Suckers'.....quoted by Trump more than once. about
those vets that gave their lives in wars...
______________________________________________________________________________________________________.

Imagine if you can, those 2 statements being played over, and over, and over, and over again....during the 2024 election..''

Total reflection on Trump's total lack of understanding of important matters...Yes, our side will play those comments.....
(also lack of understanding of what to say in front of others).

.......again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again..

........and again and again and again..............So...what if 30% are willing to vote for the fool..

You tell me....................Is 30% enough to win an election?

_________________________________________________________________________________________________

..Get the point......If I am an amateur in politics can think of this, what do you think our polished and highly experienced
..........................people on our side will think of those 2 statements of Trump's insensitivity and incompetence?

..........................Before Trump runs, some experienced and highly qualified experts in the PUKE PARTY...WILL ALSO POINT OUT
........................THAT DONALD TRUMP CANNOT WIN NOTHING IN A FAIR ELECTION......

Also think about this:....Experienced people in the PUKE PARTY ...also know about this. And those people will do a great deal to keep Trump from running again.....both behind the scenes & in front of us all...

..Therefore, I don't think that Trump will ever be the PUKE CANDIDATE FOR ANYTHING AT ALL...

....................THANK YOU...for reading this...

An Amazing Experience on the Internet..Found the Location of a Business that just made a scam call.

...The Business Name was H.B.W. Leads...( or Leeds) don't remember.. So I put that Business name in
Google Search...Then I got to make a review of the scam caller...(which I did) ..Then I went back and
searched the internet for the location of the company..It took a while..evidently the place that the call
was from was from Salem Oregon on Commercial Avenue. Yes it took some time, about 10 minutes, but
that I could find it at all was really amazing..I found the name of the company, where it is located in
Salem Oregon, and I gave it a one star (lowest review possible) because they called me at all...And....I
read from some reviews. One review said, If they call you, and you pick up the call they often
call you again, and again and again...One reviewer said.."This company never stops calling.".
...Well it won't be the only one that never stops calling.....
.....There are many more...especially if you pick up the phone to answer the call......( & get on their list)
.................Anyway.........at least I shared this experience .....and I do feel better... & a solution
...................If you wait for the 4th ring of the call they usually hang up...that is the scam callers,
usually hang up...If it is a friend who wants to talk, that friend or relative will leave.........a message...
because I have an...........answering machine.....most people do..After a certain number of calls, there
is a message that you put on the machine that asks the caller to ........."please leave a message"...
.......................Is that correct??????????............Oh no.....time again to hide ..

About Stuart G

I thought I knew a lot, and I found out... how little I knew about what I know. And how much more there is to learn, if I listen and read what others have to say.
