    Well, my advice to you in chasing down the old ladies with money is to insert yourself into Instagram or Facebook fan pages. These guys seem oddly attractive to the ladies: Post Malone (!???!!!) Chase Rice, Matt Rife.

    I didn’t even know who these people were until I saw the Catfished videos about the scammed little old ladies.

    and then, there are the perennial favorite internet boyfriends and girlfriends like Johnny Depp, the Bee Gee’s Barry Gibbs, Jennifer Aniston for the delusional old men.

    Four star army generals are popular with senior ladies as well.

    when you become an established member of these fan forums, you can contact the gullibles and claim you are the celebrity himself, and you want to chat with fans privately. Then you lead them into conversations about themselves, then you start flattering them, then you ask for money. Your reason for asking for money is usually that you’re getting a divorce and your manager or your spouse has tied up all of your money.

    okay---hAl, it's nunya about Kraft Lady. But yeah---since you asked, i had a phone conversation a week or so ago, in which she self-disclosed that she has a fence that needs painting. Yup. Also, her exe's wife has had a debilitating stroke at age 60. So, anyway--I informed her that i've DOUBLED my money on Carnival Cruise Lines, which was a ship in distress, ca. 2021! (CCL). Ha. So, that should help my case. Hope that helps you some. Thankk mee.

    okay---just found out about a book that was publishhed maybe 10 years ago called "Breakin The Code". But yeah--it's about a series of incidents including a fatal shooting in Ford Odge, Iwah, nowhereville, and drug-dealing MC gangers. . Not gonna spoil it for you. Got a used copy from ebay. Yup. Ford odge is also connected to the Weaver incident, a shooting by the FBI prolly 30 years ago. Yup. Also a connection to a)Paris Hilton and b)Lily Damita, 30's film actress. Prolly some others.

    These were my August reads:
    • Unsheltered by Barbara Kingsolver - I found this one pretty slow going, and I did not enjoy it as much as other books by her. It's the story of two families, one in the past and one in the present, who live in the same crumbling, structurally unsound house with themes of home and family and friendships.
    • The 7th Canon by Robert Dugoni - this is the third novel I've read by him, and they have all been good. It's a mystery/thriller, but with strong, well-developed characters that brings it to the top of the genre in my opinion, much like Dennis Lehane.
    • The Rent Collector by Camron Wright - story of a family that lives in a dump in Cambodia, making their living picking through trash to resell items with value. It was decent read, based on truth, and another one with themes of home and family and friendships.
    • The Things We Cannot Say by Kelly Rimmer - this was another WW2 historical fiction novel by the author of The German Wife. I find her books to be very readable, and they prompt me to ponder what I might have done in similar circumstances.
    • Once There Were Wolves by Charlotte McConaghy - this is her second novel, and I really liked them both. The plot of this one involves the re-introduction of wolves to Scotland. Both of her novels have strong but flawed female protagonists, and they involve conservation, the protection of endangered species, and humanity's coexistence with other creatures.

    I just finished "The River is Waiting," by Wally Lamb. Has anyone else read it? Alternatively I could not put it down or I couldn't pick it up and keep reading. But I did find it thoughtful and and provocative read.

    The main character is quite flawed, but I was rooting for him nonetheless. It is written in his voice. Themes are forgiveness and how our individual perspectives can be so narrow.
    My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far today, I have finished two bags of M&Ms and a chocolate cake. I feel better already!

    A quick read book my neighbor gave me to read is “Small things like this “by Claire Keegan. it’s about an Irish father of four daughters who sells coal. He’s a nice man, a good man, and he runs into a situation where he feels he needs to act, and he does.

    Dinner with King Tut - a non-fiction book about various pre-Christian cultures explained with fictionalized stories to make their times come alive. An interesting read.
