I was also testing out the RV speeds going downhill. Never touched cruise control, and it did speed up going down without me touching the gas. Didn’t happen like that last time, though I had toyed with cruise control a little bit. There were plenty of times I hadn’t touched it or hit the off button and it maintained speed going downhill. Im going to keep watching it cause that car jacking thing still has me with raised eyebrows

So the older guy I mentioned earlier sent me some pics this morning. Naked in a bathroom, cut off right before the no no spot of course. Im happy he’s feeling good and might get some of his energy back, of course. But, why do some guys do that? The only women that do that want you to pay them on their porn sites that I know of. What do guys think the gals want?
I can’t even think of a single guy I dated because of their body. I’ve dated a full range too, short to tall, thin to quite heavy, even all kinds of nationalities. My cousin and I used to joke about me being like the United Nations, didn’t have a specific “type” that I stuck with. Did kiss a couple of hotties just cause, but that was the extent of it. For them to be dating / relationship material, there had to be something more than that.
Some actually get that it’s better to engage in conversation online if it’s gonna go somewhere it will warm up on its own. Others, I really have no clue why the leap from a snoopy picture to butt naked in a low wrapped towel.
Here’s the thing about my friend, she had 5 kids. The first 3 were welcomed by both, she had 2 girls and a boy. Then, years later, her marriage was on the rocks and she thought by having more kids it would keep her marriage together. I guess remembering how it was way back when? Anyway, she regularly says how she shouldn’t have had more kids. The last two are still in middle & high school while the others have already graduated college. They are ignored for the most part on the daily, by both parents. He’s running around with his gf, and she’s out shopping for guys or overnighting at their houses. It’s a pretty sad situation IMO. When I asked her about it, the response was they are old enough to take care of themselves.
I can only remember one time in my entire life where I actually sent a bf a naked pic. Even then, it was only my butt, and you could not see anything that would identify me. I was worried it would be leaked out somehow, so no facial features included. If it ever surfaced, I’d be able to tell cause I know what the room looked like that I was in, but nobody else would.
Downloaded my D-minder app so I can make sure Im out there when I can get juiced up 😀
When I got in yesterday I was assigned a different spot. 116. But when I pulled up I didn’t feel good about it. When I went to hook up the electrical fuse was busted. So I called in and they moved me. This spot Im at is awesome. A few rows from the pool, few steps from the laundry room and showers (which have elbow room!), and down the block from the dog park.
Made my FB post on why hot tubs.
Also met a nice young girl while there today. She was 17, a little shy. Very sweet though when you got her talking. Her family travels and works on the road, mom does some sort of online business program sales, and her dad is in I.T. She did an online high school course, and actually just finished her last class today. She does plan to take some online business classes but she wants to be able to get into the same job her mom does. I told her about my travels and she said that’s what she wants to do. Travel around by herself. She doesn’t have a drivers license yet though, she’s been afraid to get it. She was kinda jumpy too with any noise in the surroundings. Not sure what the fear was from, but she was very alert to her surroundings. Dad does all the driving now, doesn’t let mom. Not sure how she’ll learn to drive the Airstream if he’s that controlling. Prized possession? I get it, it’s their home. But…
I also don’t know why I had to spend so much time getting comfortable with posting on there. Just so I can be another raspberry pie filled with bird shit? I had a bunch of pages I could have done that with on FB. I never was approved for monetization for anything on X, so it’s not like I can fund my travels with it. Over a year and half from the start and still no insight on how that will happen other than what FB set up. Even then FB is ass backwards in their profile tools that you have no idea what’s performing and earning for your or not.
I should have brought a better laptop then I could download and play real games with people who actually want to play games, talk to you, have fun, work as a team and be friends. Every day we were excited to get online, see each other, chat for a bit about life’s happenings, and make a plan for what we were gonna go do. None of that happens with anyone one on here. Just log in daily for more shit stew.
I wonder how many pregnancies a year are terminated because of doctor recommendations where the baby would have been totally fine. A guy that worked in real estate a few years ago had a similar situation. The doctors told him his genetic mishap had some huge percentage chance that it would cause him to be severely paralyzed, a vegetable essentially. The mama refused to terminate, the baby was perfectly fine. And no development delays into his toddler years. I lost contact with them but Im assuming all is still going strong.
Joined a spiritual awakening dating and friendship group this morning. One of the posts popped up for the first time today. So I scrolled through them and ended up laughing. The guys seemed legit, the stream of girls were barbies and some sound fetish vids. Found one girl who used the picture of the goddess that was a little chubby. I did leave a comment to her asking her if she wanted to be friends. She also talked about magic which was cool.
I get included in streams of spiritual advice by a large group. It bugs me. The tag me daily, I get notifications all day when they are talking and I don’t think a single one of them giving advice posts anything real on any type of regular basis. I don’t participate, even though I get dm’d and asked to. Now and then I’ll toss a picture in the thread but I’d really just prefer to not be involved.
I’m not judging them, just weighing the validity of their awakened claim. Why hide behind an avatar and a keyboard? I think about my gaming days too, when I met people who I started dating who played characters. Though I didn’t know what they looked like, I was speaking with them in teamspeak or discord. I did have their voice.
My brother and sister that live in Jacksonville. No such thing as abortion on this side of the family. She has 4 kids+1 that she took in, and each have a couple kids with different baby mamas. We went to breakfast together yesterday. Big crew of children, lots of smiles. Was very nice to see. My brother ended up adopting a baby from a sudo-adopted daughter of Lisa that got pregnant and couldn’t care for the baby.
Both though have pretty serious health issues and they are only in their upper 50’s. My dad got around quite a bit, 3 wives + affairs and has 7-9 kids scattered about. Their mom had 5 marriages, but some strange happenings with the kids. He was cut off from all finances at 12. Had to start his own business to support himself, went with landscaping. But, then ended up in drugs for the easy money and paid for it. Got caught, felony charge, but straightened out in. his early 20’s. Started a construction business, then when he got enough funds was able to get an attorney and got a full pardon. He’s got a pretty great “success” story, to a degree. He’s got diabetes, cirrhosis of the liver too. Both drink a lot. She had a stroke in her late 40’s I believe, now showing high triglycerides and other markers for heart disease. I did talk to her a little about walking/exercise to increase the good cholesterol and help bring down the triglycerides, healthy oils like olive oil and avocado too. Asked him if he ever heard of Milk Thistle, the herb, because that helped someone in my MAG group with their liver issues. Got shot down pretty quick because of “doctors orders” though.
First I gotta say I’m back to having body issues again. I’m comparing how I looked and felt when taking these photos to my new photos. I don’t feel good about me in them. I can see the weight gain in my face, in my body shots. Don’t want to post them again, even though so I’m still do. I musta gained the freshman 15 in 2 months at my sisters. I’m not worried about losing it, I know it will come back off. Im active again and walking a lot. Hoping Marco Island is warm enough that I can get back to swimming. I will say my walking and swimming mediations were easier when I was 3 sheets to the wind. I spent so much time trying to learn my lessons and trying to make sense of it all that time just flew by. I was lost in my own world. Now Im far more alert to the outside world, and thinking how I used to, that I have to remember to keep an eye out for signs and critters. I do miss that part but it’s fun when I remember.
Lisa also drives a jeep. She had quite the collection of ducks on her dashboard, had to be at least 20. Interesting thing, for as long as we’ve been talking she’s been on a quest to reconnect with all of dad’s kids. The ones that don’t know that dad is their father, she wants to tell so they know the truth. She was pretty upset about one that passed away that she was never able to communicate with about who her real father was.
Funny thing about Lisa and Camille, my full sister. In pictures of them at the same age they look almost identical. I’ve been confused on who was who when pics popped up they have such similar features. Lisa and her mom both think Ronnie and I have more similarities.
As to the ducks, Lisa has her way of rounding them up. Camille, she did that a lot with her students. Always the organizer and had an entourage following her. Where she decided they went. A big reason why I avoided the family trips, same thing happened. I don’t like being herded. Love the visiting though, in a dip in and dip out kind of way.
This was a funny moment too. He caught site of the driver’s costume, so I snapped the pic, then ran over to get a close up. The driver started saying how I needed to get away and leave him alone, I told him no. So the passenger hopped out and let me in the car to get a picture. I didn’t post it though cause I felt like I looked too fat in it and deleted it.
The one on one time is really what I love. That’s where you can have the best conversations. Got to do that with my sister to and from the Breakfast yesterday, about 45 minute drive each way. She didn’t want to go to St. Augustine though she was a bit hung over.
St. Augustine trip was with my brother. That was a pretty magical unravelling. I had been thinking I wanted to go there for a bit. It kept getting recommended to me by the people I met for the last couple weeks. When I got to my brother’s houses, I met his daughter and her bf. She said they were going there last night for his bday. I said I wanted to go there too! My brother said we could. So I got to spend the afternoon and evening with him. He was a great sport about it.
He didn’t see the places we went so it was all new to him. The jail and the Fountain of Youth. He loved reading about the history. He kept mentioning the Fort there, but it closed before we finished up at the Fountain of Youth. That was what caught my eye on the way in, the jail just happened to be there and we hopped in a group that was getting a tour. Not even sure if you needed tickets we just rolled with it.
St. Augustine was packed! Beautiful night too, very warm. There was a lighted boat parade that we didn’t get to see because it was starting when I had to get back for the dogs. It was about an hour drive away from where I’m staying. That reminds me of another thing that happened. The fountain park was quite a walk away from the downtown waterfront and the Night of Lights. We decided to drive. He kept saying we need to just go into one of the parking lots, and I kept saying nah it’ll work out just wait. It sure enough did! Right as pulled onto the street next to the center square there was an open spot that was free parking! Right next to the Christmas Tree.
Also trying new things on FB to see if I can get more interactions. Posted this one as a Story with the text “Follow me for more great tips”. Made me laugh.
This is the picture I took 2 days after I picked up Suki. Got her on Dec 8th and she just had turned 8 weeks old.
I decided to boost that post. Icon caught my eye, and it was $6 a day for 3 days. Numbers worked so I did it. I have 1,428 followers, I’ll let you know if it worked.
They changed the navigation on the pages for FB. Was trying to post a reel which I thought I had posted before there, but couldn’t check for it on the pc version of the page. The reels link was removed. It’s visible on the cell phone version though. I didn’t want to post it again if it was already there, but did cause I couldn’t check for it.
My page also got a penalty for using unoriginal content. So can’t get paid for what the reels generate because of it. Don’t care through, Im just adding stuff when I remember. I remembered because when I went to post on my profile page it gave me a “next” option instead of post. And when I hit next it gave me the option of posting as myself or any one of my pages, or I could post the same thing from all of them as all of them at once. If that makes sense. Not going to duplicate like that though.
For now, just adding new pics and all the reels from last year’s trip as they pop. They aren’t like the popular reels though, just my pics set to music. Maybe I’m like an acquired taste. Gotta get to know me to enjoy them. Dunno. What I do know is that my reels won’t get penalties cause they’re custom creations from my adventures 😀
This happened today. Was an iPhone pop that related. Football games on, they are both big football fans. Lisa suggested we go to this sports bar for lunch and they could watch the game, so that’s what we did. I don’t enjoy football so I kept thinking maybe I’d borrow my brother’s car and go get my nails done after lunch. Then we pulled up and I had a big ole grin! There was nail salon right next door. So that’s what I did :). Ate lunch and went down and got my pedicure. Then had Lisa come out to chat while my nails dried. Then I borrowed his car and went to the pharmacy to get my toll sticker. They don’t use EZ pass here, they use Sunpass and I don’t want to be fined so I bought one. By the time I got back game was just about done and we were ready to roll out.
She has an amazing story.
Got it off an FB reel. There’s a downloader that works for FB reels that I found. Tried previously but they wouldn’t upload to twitter so the bugs got worked out somewhere along the line so now I can.
It’s weird what FB considers original content. The guy that posted this, obviously didn’t record it. He just muted the original soundtrack and explained what the previous broadcaster explained. Added the text and it’s considered original.
That’s how a lot of the “video creators” on fb reels operate too. Lots of YouTube vids on it. They might split screen and run a side by side video with their reaction. Some just run the video with a small camera photo of them, kind of like twitch screens for gameplay. At the end of the day though, it’s all the same video playing, not a new mix of events or anything like that. I’m surprised FB doesn’t use AI yet to detect that type of similarity. It should be able to just detect the same scenes.
There are lots of unique reels too though. Lots that are just of recordings of events. Whoever gets it there first wins? Do advertisers even care who’s the original content provider or are they just after the eyeballs? I get that they want the audience to have variety, that’s important to keep the eyeballs, but a lot of it seems pretty cheesy rehashes to me.
Got a snacks email this morning which was funny. ”
<b>Hey Snackers,</b>
As if weddings weren’t pricey enough, some couples are <u>paying</u> thousands for “social media concierges.” They’re like wedding photographers, but armed with iPhones and hashtags — because horizontal pics just aren’t right for the ’Gram.
I told my aunt that months ago when she kept saying she wanted me to take horizontal pics to get more landscape in. Told her no, I liked the vertical they fit better in the posts with the added benefit that I think I look better in them.
I’m not a fan of the big wedding bells and whistles, but they are going the same route.

This one is from one year ago today. I was in Asheville, NC with friends John and Andrea. They are still horseback riding as a hobby which is pretty cool.
Only thing that ties in with the color scheme was soap at store my brother and I visited last night. I didn’t like the smell of it though. He did end up buying a different one for his wife as a stocking stuffer. I didn’t buy any.
