R.I.P. Linda

Ir was my birthday two weeks ago, I didn't celebrate it - I rarely do - though I have a lady friend in Didcot, who wishes to start a relationship with me, I miss my late wife, This will be the second Halloween since she passed away, she loved Halloween. I was never into Halloween, it is a custom from the USA I never adhered to, I can't see the point on putting sweets out for people you don't know.

Here's a question, if we celebrate Christmas, why don't we celebrate All Saiints Day, or All Souls Day?  Halloween is the beginning of All Hallows week

Svitlana's Pleasure

A sleepover

Last night, while chatting with my friend in Didcot, Svitlana made another suggestion which came as a suprise to me. She suggested she would like to welcome the New Year in with me sometime.

Previously, she had suggested a sleepover, which I asked if I would be interested in a sleepover. I suggeted we should meet a few times, to see if we get on as well in person as we do online, I have no doubt we shall.

A sleepover is one thing, staying for New Year is something else. A new year stay could be two or three days.

You may read in my blog, most of the ideas are from Svitlana, that is because I don't wish to appear pushy. This amuses her, as she keeps saying "You can't be pushy, I love you too much."

We often discuss choices, as we regard ourselves as a couple.

Climate Change

 Frostpunk

Good news

Far from the Madding Crowd

For a few days at least, I am trading the warmth of Tropico for the cold of Frostpunk. I have tried Frostpunk before, but never got far, now I have a few days with no hospital appointments, I may try to play the game again.

I did plan to buy Frostpunk 2, but saw no point as I struggle with the original game, another game I may revisit is L.A. Noire.

Chickbait

 Why do ladies find me attractive?

What makes me Desireable?

What lies hidden?

On Chariming Talks, I have become a magnet for the attentions of mature ladies, in the last four months. I could have many female companions, but I am more than pleased to have one, my friend Svitlana, who lives in Didcot, in Oxfordshire.

Most of my appeal comes from my laid back approach, and the respect I show a lady, I let her know from the start, I won't ask for anything she feels inappropriate. She is in control of what we chat about, and can stop a conversation if she feels it has gone as far as she can accept comfortably.

I have been told several times over my years online, my old-fashioned approach is why ladies feel safe chatting to me.

To end, I do not like the term "chickbait," I prefer to think i have an addictive personality

Clickbait

 Do YouTube uploaders care?

YouTube

YouTube MIsinformation

The term "clickbait," is used for YouTube users who mislead to get viewers.

Some examples - 

One headline read - "Teacher r@ped in front of class."

If you watch the video, the crime is anything but r@pe. The teacher was killed, alone, in a ladies toilet, and her body was dumped in a nearby area of woodland.

Another often used "lie" is to show a well-known person, usually a lady, who "appears" to have had a serious incident, causing her to lose parts of her body.

The WORST case is far more serious than those. Two years ago, a young lady in Korea, was doing a video about doing her crops, when she was bitten by a snake, that part was true. This boosted her viewer figures. What followed was total fiction, which caused serious concerns.

After the report of her encounter with the snake boosted her figures, she then began a series of fiction videos. She "claimed" her husband had been attacked by a tiger, and dragged into a forrest, naturally her viewers tuned in to see what was happening.

This is when she became a liar, as she was a poor farmer, I had trouble believing she could afford the dozens of Go-Pro cameras she used, farmers usually live hand-to-mouth, barely paying bills. The biggest lie is if she didn't know where her husband had been taken, of if he was alive, how could she set up cameras on a trail that lead to her discovery of his rucksack?

It could be said her viewing figures paid for the cameras, but one-click, only gets a few pence. 

At the time, I contacted YouTube to complain about the lies, and pointed out they could be libel if someone was injured trying to find her "lost" husband. I pointed out, all they had to do was keep him out of camera shot, and the videos could run for years. The channel took action, and the videos were dropped.

Both Sides Now

 When will they end?

The lump on my neck

A lump on my neck

I recieved a letter from Bristol Royal Infirmary today which caused me to laugh.

The letter is about my Lipoma, the lump of fat on the back of my neck. The operation is a day operation, I was told the surgeon would arrange an early operation, so I could come home, rather than stay overninght.

This makes sense, as the op is only minor, what made me laugh is they boooked me in at 00:00, which is either super early, or super late, depending how you view 00:00
