I received the following messages on Telegram, the second within minutes of the first, which prompts my question: are they trying too hard to recruit victims, or are they not trying hard enough, by not noticing duplicate messages? Or are they all AI bots and my question’s moot… In any case, for your entertainment: ByContinue reading “Too Hard—Or Not Hard Enough?”

Manual Transmission (Part 2)
In my last blog post I told a story of manual sex. Here’s another one in the same vein; reader discretion again advised. As a counselor at a summer camp, I met a young female counselor (actually 11 years younger than me) whom I found myself very attracted to. Apparently she felt the same, becauseContinue reading “Manual Transmission (Part 2)”
Manual (Not) Transmission (Part 1)
Maybe it’s frontal lobe disinhibition, resulting from reaching an older age, or maybe I just want to record some memories before I lose them completely. Because these two entries (this and the next to be found in the next post) are offered “With reader discretion advised.” Decades ago, I had a date with a youngContinue reading “Manual (Not) Transmission (Part 1)”
Exes at the DMV
I finally got around to going to the DMV for my new photo license. I had stopped at a different location a few weeks earlier, but that was a madhouse; let’s eliminate locations and then require a REAL ID for people, having made it difficult for people to actually obtain it. Fortunately, the location IContinue reading “Exes at the DMV”
Am I On Tinder??
A few years ago I googled myself and discovered I had a Wikipedia page that I had not created. But I’m pretty sure I’m not on Tinder, as this scammer suggests. Now, I do have to give “her” credit for not being a jewelry/fashion designer and dabbler in investments and cryptocurrency like so many ofContinue reading “Am I On Tinder??”
I Know You! Or Do You…?
Yesterday I encountered a variation of the scam text. Usually they purport to have contacted me by a wrong number, but this one knew who I was. It’s how she said she knew me that was the problem. I had to Google to find out that there is indeed a dating site called Tagged. ToContinue reading “I Know You! Or Do You…?”
Trust Your Instincts!
What skills or lessons have you learned recently? Didn’t I just write about instincts recently? Did I learn to trust them? I guess I did this week! A person says, “I’ve met someone,” and shows you her picture—and alarm bells go off. You see a flashing red light. Someone yells, “Captain to the bridge!” inContinue reading “Trust Your Instincts!”
The Scammer’s Handbook
Wouldn’t you like to get a glimpse of The Scammer’s Handbook? Well, now you can! All you need to do is look at any scam/spam email and you see a part of what they must circulate (I imagine a 3” 3-ring binder) in order to try to entrap their victims. The amazing part for meContinue reading “The Scammer’s Handbook”
A Tale of Lost “Love”
I suddenly thought about K. last night while waiting to go to sleep. The memories—good and bad—entered my mind like those songs that just start playing in my head even though I haven’t heard them for awhile. I hadn’t thought about her in a long time, and then, suddenly, there she was. I met herContinue reading “A Tale of Lost “Love””
“Calling Joyce!”
My fiancee is an avid gardener and people will stop by and compliment her on its appearance. We say she has a green thumb, but she works very hard at maintaining all the plants. I should add that that her yard work often takes her past dusk,and she will even use a cap with lightsContinue reading ““Calling Joyce!””
