My parents are moving to New Castle, PA in April

After being in Arizona since 1997. My mother said she wanted to go home, which is the NE.

She told me yesterday she can't wait until November to vote for Big John. They are actually going to donate and work to get him elected.

Since I have come back, I've gotten and seen a lot of scams that we're around before

1: Crypto-scam: Let me show you how to invest in crypto. I get this alot on Kik. Someone wants to talk and then mentions investing in crypto. They show you simple photos of their "investment" and ask you to setup something to they can walk you through it. When you say no, they become extremely insistent.

2: Venmo/Cashapp scam: I get this one alot on Snap and Instagram. Someone wants to talk and since I lived out in the hinterlands of Arizona and am almost completely isolated, I accept. Then the person wants to meet up and asks you to send them "gas money." Since apparently no one has a job in Arizona, they need an exorbitant amount of money, usually five times the amount gas costs.

3: Gift Card scam: Same as Venmo/Snap, only they want a gift card.

4: Speeding ticket scam: I got this alot overseas. Apparently, a few days earlier, I received a speeding ticket, usually in Cocksackie, NY. I am normally doing 81 in a 45 and there is now a warrant for my arrest for failure to appear and failure to pay.

I'm curious what others you have gotten, other than the standard "telemarketer" and African Prince/Oil Baron relative. Those two aren't even original anymore.

Before we all start remembering Meatloaf, here is his wikipedia "politics" page

Politics

Meat Loaf was not officially registered with any political party. He performed at the 1997 pre-inauguration ball for re-elected Democratic President Bill Clinton[129] and attended the 2001 inauguration of Republican President George W. Bush.[130] He donated to the presidential campaigns of Republican candidates Rick Santorum and John McCain, the latter of whom became the party's nominee in the 2008 presidential election.[131]

On October 25, 2012, Meat Loaf endorsed Mitt Romney for president, citing poor relations with Russia as a major reason he had been "arguing for Mitt Romney for a year".[132] He said, "I have never been in any political agenda in my life, but I think that in 2012 this is the most important election in the history of the United States." He then said there are "storm clouds" over the United States and "thunder storms" over Europe: "There are hail storms – and I mean major hail storms! – in the Middle East. There are storms brewing through China, through Asia, through everywhere."[132] The same day, he performed "America the Beautiful" standing next to Romney.[133][134]

In a 2017 interview with Billboard, he said positive things about Donald Trump, Ivanka and Donald Jr. (they had worked together on The Celebrity Apprentice in 2011).[135]

In an interview with Daily Mail in 2021 he called Greta Thunberg "brainwashed" due to her views on climate change.[136]


He was a Trumper. No tears shed, even if I liked the music.

The time away from my wife is wearing me down and I have no one to talk to

I have never felt more alone and empty in my life.

My school district has been shut down due to covid for two weeks

Today, my district is shut down for another 10 days.

Who keeps trying to tell me that schools are safe and parents want their children back in school?

I'd rather err on the side of protecting children from a potentially fatal disease. I don't like virtual teaching. BUT. . .it's what needs to be done.

19 weeks until I got back to Asia and be with my wife

I can't wait for some 北京烤鸭,兰州拉面,and all I can eat Teppanyaki in 无锡,苏州,or 南京。

I may be an American, but I feel more peace and at home in Asia and China.

And when COVID is over, we're going either to Phuket down south, or Korea to the east.
