African Princess Phenomenon

We've all heard about lonely grey men being bemused after its revealed that the African Princess they been supporting is fake. They're never really too upset because they really dreamed it to be true. 
I'm guessing we all spend more on dreams then we should? 
Fake & gay "African Princess".

My sister almost got duped this week. Prior, she had phoned the friend of a nun who recently passed and offered the friend some old books. The old woman, from the other side of the island, advised thay she jad no email and asked my sister to correspond via her niece. This done, my sister gets a request to send money, an Apple Card. Apparently the niece is having trouble with EFT and asked my sister to cover her for a friend's birthday. Being too ready to please, my sister springs onto action and only after she receives an impatient email, does she pause to think. She phones her sister and after brief discussions, stops the madness. 
Later, she phones the niece, who quickly apologises; "Sorry. My email account was hacked". 
I've let my sister down onto the harsh light of reality by suggesting the niece has a drug or gambling addiction and saw her as a soft touch ... and encouraged her to wake the fuck up. 
The amount? A thousand dollars. As the old people used to say: " No hide, no Christmas cake".

If I wasn't actually sailing I would be working on my boat getting things ready. I spent two enjoyable winters on the tropical north.  In later life, I've mowed lawns for an income & continued to swim & sail when I can.  As old surfers know, there's a toll on your skin. Some surfers I know have died or been treated for skin cancer, so it's a vocational hazard.  Added to this, I have a genetic weakness towards skin cancer. My great grandmother passed in midlife & her daughter, my grandmother, had several skin grafts on her nose to manage skin cancer.  Last month my younger brother Pete had a ...

mass political deception

On the day a gunman nicked ex president Trump's ear the world politcians decried violence as evil, undemocratic & so on, more than 39 people were killed in Palestine. These events highlight mass hypocrisy across the world with regards violence & race.  No one in the media industry will ever mention this hypocrisy.
