Absolutely Anything Else

Has anyone got experience with Office Forms or Google Docs?
I have this group that is growing in size, so to keep track of everyone it would be simple to have them register their details.

Which one is the better?

I've tried Google Doc, and as it looks nice, I don't like how the response is delivered. - @SimCityAT

You can just share the Doc (better Google Excel whatever it is) with others in Google and they can add/edit themselves.  However, they can see everyone else's details and edit  them too.   It depends if they should be allowed to see the others.

It's a quasi-weird experience having a document open and watch other people edit it and see it update in real time.  And even weirder is when two or three people edit something at the same time. Coordination is required. I usually use this method when in Google Talk.

Update:

I tried Google Forms. It's dead easy. 

You sign into Google, use the Form designer (I chose Contact template) and adjust the form as you wish.  When finished, press Publish top right.   You can then share the link to the form with multiple respondents.  They use the link to see the form page and can enter their data.

There's a tab for responses which appear in date order in the related Google Sheet.  Just click the tab to see it. 

It's moderately clever in that it knows if you have already submitted an answer but does allow a respondent to edit their data.  They won't be able to see other people's data as far as my quick test showed.

I never understood nude events.

Even so called perfect looking people have flaws;

If not so, then why have fliters, makeup and body suits.

Went skinning dipping exactly 3 times in my life.

Last time was at night with the pool lights off in our own back yard pool;

Felt weird, only tried it once because it was private and why have your own pool in the hot summer if you do not do things you can not in public?

At 12 skinny dipped alone in the Kern river, hicked in for 2 days with my eldest sister and her husband, a backpacking trip for a week;

Nice to wash off in the river.

At age 15 or 16, my friend had a pool at her house;

We ditched school with another friend, got high and went in the pool; Had no suits with us;

That lasted all of 10 mins; Heard motorbike engines close by;

My friends dad and a couple of his buddies rode motorbikes into the living room!!!

Not sure what they were on but we grabbed towels and ran upstairs and got dressed and left.

Simi valley, the place where parents get high with their children.

That was the weirdest thing ever, he dad and those guys riding bikes in the house.

I keep my clothing on, never know when you have to make a quick exit.

My husband used to go to nude beaches in Ca; Not me;

On Maui while on a vacation there, we were told about a nice beach;

Drove the rental car there, parked, walked awhile and saw the beach area;

Turned out to be clothing optional!

I kept my suit on but one min; my husband has his suit on and the next it was gone!!

Had a play with both, and Google Docs is OK, now had a play with it. I was very productive today; I even created a YouTube channel.

Good to know it worked out.  It seems like it'd be really easy to do a survey with it too.  I had used SurveyMonkey in the past but the Google Docs method looks so much easier.

Everyone I know in the states is prepping for Thanksgiving.

We are doing nada for it.

Never was one of my fave holidays and now that I have given up on all of them, it is not big deal to me.

Do enjoy some pumpkin pie however...

I dislike this time of year, shops busy and crowds, well anything with a line longer then 3 people, is busy to me

My bro is suppose to be moved to another jail but so far he is not in the system! I am hoping it is because he escaped!

Lost in the shuffle, their computer system seems messed up;

My cousin called and spoke to a live clerk, she could not find him either!

We are not sure what to tell him once we make contact again.

Seems that side of the family has some issues. His son,s GF wrote to inform me that now my bros son is in jail too!

It would be funny if it was not so real and so close to home.

Dang, not sure why he was busted but his bail is huge and not going to court till weeks from now.

I wonder if because he visited his dad in jail that they were waiting for him to do something wrong and get more, customers?

He was busted with my brothers bank card on him.So now there is no way to send my bro funds from his own account.

Guess Santa is not coming this year!

My husband and I were thinking, weird, I do not even walk around with my own bank card, why is his son doing that? Is he helping himself?

So mad at everyone ATM. It is better if I avoid the Xmas shoppers this year because one wrong move and I may go off on someone!

Hard to control my anger at times.

Seems to run in the family!

Of course, we don't have Thanksgiving over here, so no-one notices.  Obviously we'd be thinking of Christmas.  I am not bothered about that one either.  We got pumpkin in for Halloween but only one got carved. The other one is sitting outside slowly rotting. It'll have to go in the compost heap. These are not edible ones.  I don't know how people can tell.

I hope the jail finds your bro.   I read about an ICE detainee who has disappeared after a medical incident.   And a US citizen who was detained for 35 days without charges.   I would think the latter one can sue for millions.  It's a fundamental right for someone to know why they are being detained.  Things really seem to be a mess over there (and judicially in my own country).  Probably lack of investment.  Surely they'd put wristbands on people and scan them in and out.

Maybe they only accept cash credits on prison accounts?  So the way to put money on is to physically take cash to the jail and do it over the counter, maybe? 

The prison should do something for the holidays. Maybe special lunch.  OK, do prisoners need special attention?  Not more than anyone else but unless they give the inmates something to do, you can imagine a riot starting.

I was just outside and it's miserable.  Best to stay in today and do inside jobs.

Bummer, we have errands to run today.

Have to dig out a winter coat.

I find is refreshing to be out in the cold but only for a short time.

I wonder how those food delivery bike dudes are enjoying the weather?

In jail in the US they take away everything when yu are booked, You can file forms to give it to an outside person. You have no internet so can not do online banking;

They are a big business, they have companies that cater to inmates needs; Jpay is one; You have to fill out a online form and deposit funds from outside jail; Even if you are booked with tons of cash on you, you can not access it from inside.

Last time my bro many rings were stolen by the cops; He reported it and lucky the top cop found his rings. one was his wedding ring, worthless now even though it cost a pretty penny.

My sister and cousin have put funds into his jail account but not allot, not enough to last long.

I may have to open up our wallet too; My husband is pissed though, how could they be so dumb?!

No special treatment in jail, lucky to have a cold stale turkey sandwich and a cup of juice 10 percent juice type, totally un healthy food and terrible medical care.

He was getting fitted for a new leg before getting busted; Now , who knows what is going on.

BYD will immediately recall 88,981 plug-in hybrids over a potential battery-related safety hazard, China's market regulator said in a notice on Friday, weeks after the electric vehicle maker's largest recall to date.

I hope you have better news from the jail.   It all sounds like a bit of a scam.  Even in my own country, it's a "laugh a minute" with prisoners being mistakenly released.  Seems like they were making the mistake once or twice a week.  Apparently people doing the admin made endless mistakes and  mixed up dates on the paperwork.   After they found out the mistakes, they cops were searching for the "escapees".

I'd have thought the food was quite good in jail.  All I've seen on TV is inmates working in the kitchens.  And decent kitchen gardens or prison farms.   They'd surely make a good job of it or find themselves with a bashing back at the cells.  So Thanksgiving has just gone by and soon we'll be into Xmas.  Both special days and good for morale.   

Our kids went to Italy for the weekend so Mrs F and I are on our own.  Bit unusual.  I wonder what it will be like when they've flown the nest for good.  Never mind, they'll be back tomorrow (Monday).

How fun to be a teen and be allowed to travel to another country.

Gosh, my mom hardly let us leave town. No wonder we just left without asking.

No new news about my bro or his son;

My sister was suppose to call his sons GF to get her to mail my bro bank cards to her.

If there is any funds left in his account that is!

The stress of it is getting to me, nothing I can really do so have to not dwell on it.

My bro said the food is horrible, he lost 20lbs over a month ago;

Food is bland and under cooked, he can only eat the pasta.

Yes, tv makes jail look like a holiday club, it is not.

My husband is slightly angry with my bro for letting himself get in this bind.

Scorpio that he is, my bro can not let things go.

I try not to believe in zodiac personality traits but yes, some seem very true.

I am a Sag, we have no filter and always call people out.

I never thought I did that but yes, seems true enough.

No time for BS and can drop people on a dime if they get under my skin.

My son is Aquarius, yes he is defo from another  galaxy;

Halfie is a real Gemini, 2 people in one;

Her brain does not work like a normal persons; Now she has given the eldest sister a Xmas list of gifts she expects to get!!

Almost 60 going on 6!

I told the eldest to give her a list, number one is to get a job, move out and get lost.

I seriously could not deal with her for a moment;

She stayed with us for about 5 days in Hilo. I could not wait for her to leave, was afraid her flight out would be delayed and I was not about to bring her back home.

She had the older sister drive her to the market to pick up a couple of things.The eldest car is acting weird so she did not want to shut off the engine, it is cold there in Minn;

45 mins later she comes out with a huge cart of items and then had the nerve to tell the older sister that she let 4 or 5 people check out in front of her because they had just a few things!

Nice but do that on your own time.

If I lived with her, the cops would be out every day.

I can not stand it when people do not respect time.

Just saw a short video clip from The Daily News  Hungary.

A taxi driver in the 5th near the Xmas market punched out 2 women; One was out cold.

The women were screaming at the guy in Hungarian so it does not seem like a tourist issue with a cab driver.

Wonder what started it?

Maybe they did not pay their fair?

Seems a bit extreme to punch them out.

My husband drove a taxi off and on for years in Vegas;

When machining was slow he would get a driving gig.

Made pretty good money although he drove long 12 hour shifts.

Several times people could not pay their fair after getting the ride; He would drive them to an ATM machine but a few times he just told them to get lost; Took too much time and effort to collect. Bummer was once the fair is in the meter, the driver has to pay out of pocket to the cab company.

Once he drove a heavily pregnant women to her apt; She could not pay for  the fair, she wanted to pay another way!!!

Horrible people, of course he told her to get lost with a few choice words to boot.

Seems the cops are looking for the driver now.

Here's a link to the UK Justice Minister trying to explain away why prisoners get released accidentally (I didn't view all the video myself, just a minute or so):

Twelve more prisoners released in error, with two still missing, says Lammy

If the authorities release a prisoner is that considered a sentence is over?  I don't know about the legal position. In the case of one guy, they pushed him out the door and he tried to get back in!  And they told him to go away.  He ended up homeless in London I believe.  Just weirdness.

I was thinking how "fun" prison was and I kept thinking of "Orange is the New Black" which I liked in the earliest series but it went all "ethnic" and I abandoned it.  I think the conditions in US jails actually look barbaric. 

If you're going to get banged up (imprisoned) for a stretch (jail term), then best to do it in Europe. No death penalty at least.  No coming back from that. I would agree that someone people deserve to get the ultimate justice.  But then it's not one size fits all so I would err on the side of caution.   And usually people serve half their sentence and then get released on license.  It's actually quite tough to get imprisoned in my mind - in the UK anyway.   The jails are full up and the courts are overloaded.

On the other hand, if you somehow catch the eye of Donald Trump, then you may only serve a couple of weeks it seems.  He's a bit keen on that pardon auto-pen.

As for Xmas, pfff...I don't care much for it.  I am planning to do a load of jobs around the house. I've got about 10 things listed.  I will have 2 weeks off in theory although I'm due elsewhere in January.

I'm a Leo which means I'm stubborn but intensely loyal.  I think that sums me up considerably.  Maybe it's just lucky to match.  Mrs F is really the judge of all this stuff.  I do not pay any attention to it.  But quite a few people often quote it at me.

Maybe there's plain speaking needed with Halfie.  She needs to be read the riot act.  But possibly they complain but they really rub along together not too bad day to day. 

I was worried our two kids would argue in Italy but my Dad told me that while siblings will bicker at home, they would actually support each other totally when out and about and in unusual situations.  I think it was good advice from Daddio.  Our son needed solid rousing in the mornings as he's always apt to oversleep and waste his time doing nothing.  Yet our daughter is up and at 'em straight away.  She's so determined it's unreal.  So they seemed OK together left to their own devices. They will be on their own tonight as Mrs F and I have to go to Austria.  I bet they order pizza.

We have been chatting about getting away from winter but when it gets down to it, we both dislike traveling.

Great to be in a new location but getting there...

I bet they had fun in Italy, I love that country although I only spent a few days there.

Of course had to buy some leather goods while there.

Nice fashions and lovely smell in the air; At least I found it sweet, like flowers.

Not like Hawaii but still sweet.

Leo, my mother was a strong Leo.

Had allot of pride and never lowered her standards for anyone or anything.

She was a real lioness. No one, I mean no one messed with her cubs; She would claw them herself if needed.

Mom would defend us to the death, even if she was the real danger.

Fire signs, Leo, Sag and Aries. Never fight with them or get on their bad side!

They will burn you.

Mom always said  Leo,s were suppose to have nice hair, hers she was never happy with, too thin for her.

She bought herself some wigs later in life.

I just do not get on at all with halfie; One moment she can be humble and sweet and seem to understand complex issues;The next she is out of her mind acting like a clueless child.

Everyone in the family seems to bend to her will, except for me. Fire and Air do not mix well!

3 of my 5 siblings were Libras. They are peaceful people and bend just for the sake of peace.

I remember in Hilo when she visited. I told her not to come but she did anyways.

OK, so she arrived in Hawaii with $40.!

What?? A couple days later her brain of a husband wired her another $40 via Western Union, that cost about $40. for their service!

Just killed me how lame that was;

My husband, the kind hearted Libra said to use a credit card so she could enjoy her stay!

That pissed me off as well.

I did buy her a few local treats, Kona coffee and some Mac nut candies and a T shirt but it burned me, how rude it was to arrive with no cash in hand and expect others to pay your way.

I even took her to an evening Hula show with drinks. I limited it to one drink each, I was a bit of a jerk I suppose.

What killed me is she had a bit of a fling with a loser HU druggie guy who happened to swing by where we lived. She was married at the time so I was pissed at her because I had to lie to her husband on the phone; Was afriad he would not take her back and we would be stuck with her. A real drama queen she is.

I made plans to take her around the Island. I told her to be ready  to hit the road at 7:30 am;

I was out at 4:30 hitting the gym.

Came home to find her still in her PJ,s eating a plate of eggs and fighting with my teen son over the tv remote.

I gave her 30 mins to get ready or we were not going.

I drove past a waterfall I had planned to stop at, told her she wasted the time and we could not stop!

She had insisted on curling her hair before we headed out, I could not mess up her hair , could I?

No, I did promise our mom before she passed that I would watch out for halfie. She was worried about her the most. I hate to break a promise but no one is a doormat either.

Oh yes, When I questioned halfies total disrespect  for her marriage by fooling around with that loser, she responded by saying, I wanted to have an Island romance!

Good grief, someone reads to many novels§

79 year old Hungarian man arrested for dealing drugs from his flat.

No mention of what sort of drugs, High Blood Pressure or Heart pills?

What could he of gotten his hands on?

Young man punched outside a Budapest nightclub and killed.

One blow broke his neck.

I thought the US was a troubled place, guess they are not alone.

No wonder we have to psych ourselves just to take out the trash.

I really need to stop reading the news, watch more cartoons and less reality tv.

At this point, cartoons are more real then facts.

I heard about the 23 year old dead after a fight at the nightclub.  This kind of thing happens all the time elsewhere but it's still unusual enough to make the news in Hungary.   I didn't know about the 79 year old drug dealer.  Maybe that was desperation or he could claim senility and  doesn't know right from wrong anymore.  Works for me.  Three squares a day, company, food and warmth.  Jail might be OK for old timers in HU.

We live in the middle class burbs and we're ultra cautious but it's easy to get lulled into a false sense of security.  There's always the knowledge the cops won't turn up in a hurry or could be in on it if your car gets stolen.  As happened to me and Mrs F way back in the mid-1990s.

So we've got a dog, a burglar alarm, cameras, shutters and security doors.  It's Fort Fluffy.

Dunno about that Group F. 

Meanwhile, I think it's Man Utd vs West Ham tonight about 20h.  I might watch it.

I normally only go for the Internationals.

No place is safe really.

Our van was stolen in Vegas while it was parked in our space inside a gated community. It was recovered about 2 weeks later; Parking stickers all over the windows!

I had to go in and get that cleared up, was no fines because I had reported it as stolen;

Some homeless must of been inside, fast food wrappers all over, just smelled terrible inside.

What got us was we had given up on it and it was found about 10 or so days before we moved to Hungary to stay;

Needless to say, it was just one more thing to deal with under a stressful time of packing.

Sold it really cheap for $800. to 2 guys who wanted a low key van to drive into Mexico with. It ran really good, a Toyota van, we bought it in Honolulu and since it ran so great we shipped it back to the mainland; Must of had it for over a decade and only needed a tiny fuel pump job once. Same clutch same tranny just oil changes, tune ups and tires.

We had to take a half day and go with those guys to put it in their names, We did not want them to have any hassles since it had been stolen, had to be sure it was listed as recovered.

79 in jail? IDK, he still has to follow all the lame jail rules.

Make his bed every morning, be dressed and ready to do whatever they want.

My handicapped Vegas friend watches too much TV. She thinks because my bro is now handicapped that they will treat him differently;

No way, actually it is worst for him. Still has to get up and get ready without help, they do more body searches on them too; Take off your leg so we can see if you are hiding anything inside, search the wheelchair etc.From what I have read, they even take away your personal wheelchair and give you a jail one to use while inside. Who knows, flat tires and a squeaky wheel?

If he pisses anyone off it looks bad on them if they give him a beat down so they get another handicapped person to do their dirty work. Guess they pay them off with cup of noodles and few smokes? What would you do for a Klondike bar?

Not sure if anyone knows what that means but in the US it is a frozen treat that does their sales pitch with the words, What would you do for a Klondike bar?

They are suppose to have handrails in the showers and baths and try to put disabled older people etc; on the bottom floor. Who is actually checking though?

I have suggested next time my cousin sends him mail to let him know he should volunteer for all classes, any work duty etc; He may get good time and an early out. Maybe even a Klondike bar!

Never heard of that saying but I guess it's a chocolate ice cream bar and the saying comes from an advert. I guess people will do anything for small rewards in jail situations. 

Yes, nowhere is safe.  If someone is determined, they will get in regardless.  The entire security thing is intended to slow them down on the grounds the cops will get there fast enough to catch them in the act. But if society has broken down, no-one is coming.  Just look at Ukraine, the Russians are rummaging through people's houses and taking their washing machines and refrigerators.   I doubt the HU police would turn up anytime soon if we had to call them for some reason.

I also thought like your Vegas friend, they'd be kind to him because of disability.  And it does work.

I was on a long haul (for me) flight on Wednesday and because of my back/hip issues, I took my Dad's walking collapsible walking stick with me.  It was quite incredible.  I was ushered through security - right to the front, allowed to sit in a special area, got on the plane first and they couldn't do enough for me.  I made a mistake joining the scrum to try and get on the plane first but I should have hung out with the disabled (I am NOT disabled) crowd because they got their own bus out to the aircraft.  It was like a little club.  Everyone was sharing what was wrong with them.  At the destination, I was just told to go in the diplomat's queue (I'm not a diplomat), shown a chair and they took my passport away and did all the stamping and wot not and I was then free to go onwards. Like VIP service.

I did feel such a fraud as I'm not that bad - it' just hurts a bit and sometimes I want to sit down for a minute.  I mean how disabled is disabled? I feel like that's not me or am I just in denial?  Will I join in on the mobility club on the way back, probably.  In European transit, for sure, they couldn't be more helpful.

I do think the stick thing is a bit much BUT when I am walking the dog, now I use Nordic Walking poles.  I feel they help because I might lose my balance as I noticed that was happening a bit.  Mrs F says this cannot be true as it's such a change and she thinks I'm making myself worse.  But I think she's trying not to accept the reality that I am older and things will go wrong.  She'll find out as she's only 59 right now.   

I can still do everything of course but some things I think twice, like climbing ladders.  Standing on the rungs hurts my back.   We repaired the tumble dryer and we had to lift it off the top of the washing machine.  We had to get it into the living room to dismantle it - it needed new "running wheels" which I got on AliExpress.  We could do it together but I always pay for it the next day. I seem to be weaker.  Previously I could lift it off on my own.  Not now.  Older age, who needs it?!

Yup, WTF was that about?   Brown nosing at it's best.   Staggeringly stupid and insulting.  President of FIFA should lose his job over that.  Infantino by name, infantile by nature.

FIFI officials don't seem to have read the news about Trump ordered extrajudicial murders, and Trump's massive task force off Venezuela.

Yeah, and apparently the "double tap" boat wasn't even going towards the USA, it was going towards Suriname. 

That is supposed to mean the alleged drugs were going to Europe, not the USA.

Yes, I was post knee surgery one time when we did a long haul to the states.

I asked when booking for wheelchair service. Not so bad here in Budapest airport but some other airports have  you running for miles and I knew it would be hard on my leg;

When we checked in the young female desk clerk asked me if I really needed help with a pulled face.

Very illegal to do that? No help came and I hobbled along.

One the way home a good 6 months later after getting 2 months of PT in the states. I did not even need my cane.

No wheelchair in route but when we landed in Budapest they called my name out on the PA.

Totally had forgotten about needing help.

My husband said we should see what was up, I wanted to just not answer when I saw a wheelchair.

A bit late on their part.

Ok so we went along just to see what would happen. I was half way laughing at this point, so silly at this point.

2 guys in medical gear came towards us, strapped me into the chair and wheeled me out to a huge full on ambulance; Strapped the chair the the side of the van and drove a short distance to luggage claim! Total overkill!

Man, after that embarrassing experience, I have not asked for help again;

I will ask the next time we travel though, my husband does not walk as fast as he used to do and I also could use help checking in going through TSA etc.

We will see, he refuses to think he needs help; At 78 he should not care what anyone thinks.

Cart service may work for him but getting strapped into a chair would not work for him, he would probably rather miss his flight then do that.

My Vegas friends husband and she can travel anywhere for free; Just have to pay the tax.

They never fly anywhere because getting around into, out of and around planes is too much for her;

She said she used to be able to hold on to the back of seats and move to the WC inside a plane on her own; People gave her nasty looks though.

I say F them, if they live long enough, their day will come too.

If I traveled alone for sure I would ask for help from the enterance to the gate.

Why not, I would tip the person wheeling me around , sure they would not mind.I weigh nothing.

IDK,my sister and cousin thought they had located my bro since he was moved.

Now they are not sure where he is, no one answered the phones, 30 mins on hold with several tries!

My cousins said if they sent him to one of two places, it houses serial killers!

My bro may have to join a gang just to get by! Not sure which one, the handicapped gang, the Native gang, the Mexican gang or the Polynesians.

He was listed as Pacific Islander on one report for jail!

Seems they have no idea what they are doing!

Went down a dark rabbit hole last night on U tube.

Checked out the state prison my bro was sent to.

Who would of thought that was a thing on U tube?

It is listed as number 1 worst in Ca;!

They have a so called reception unit.

Inmates from all over Ca are sent there for 3 to 6 months to be evaluated before getting out or moving on to another prison.

They mix everyone in reception as they are overcrowded, twice as many people has the place was built for.

One phone call allowed per week for 15 mins; No visitors unless on the approved list and then they have to submit to searches.

No time out of cell unless to eat or shower.

Every cell has 2 per cell, IDK, if overcrowded it might be more.

Last night I had a dream of hugging my bro beside his new red car.

If only dreams really did come true!

They are housing a guy named Jake something or other; He is a lifer who murdered a child.He is at the same facility as my bro and also in reception at this time.

God, all we need now is for them to house that evil nut case with my bro!

The word is out that that Jake guy is not going to be serving life, unless life means a month or less.

WTH, is going on, one day you might of not paid a jay walking ticket or two and the next you are bunking with terror.

I saw on a US cop show that in some states, if someone (like Jake) does a mad horrible evil crime, get declared incompetent (rather than vanilla evil), ask to be sent to a mental hospital and after maybe a couple of years there, one could be "cured" and released back into the community.  No life sentence, just mentally ill.  I don't know if that is really a thing or something made up by Hollywood as a plot twist.

In the cell for all that time during the day will drive people insane.   That'll just be like a boiling saucepan.  It could boil over anytime for some small reason.

As an EU citizen entering the UK for tourism/short visits, you generally need a valid passport and must obtain an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) before travelling, which costs £16 and allows stays up to 6 months, requiring an online application via the GOV.UK app/website. You can use e-gates with a biometric passport, but border officers can still question your purpose, and you must show you'll leave, support yourself, and not live in the UK through frequent visits. EU National ID cards are no longer sufficient unless you have specific settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS) or other permits.

The missus did hers last night, what a nightmare, scanning the passport, trying to accept payment. She gave up, changed browsers on the computer, and it worked. Gawd, and got to do this every 2 years.

I'm going to have to do Mrs F's but I'm waiting until we really know when we're going. 

2 years is a bit short. It should be 3 years. 

It's a waste of time for EU citizens but I would say that wouldn't I.

I was trying to prove who I was with my bank, scanning my passport. Recognised the front page. Gawd knows what the rear page is. I think I found it, but after a while, your hand gets tired, then they tell me to keep the hand still, then its out of focus. Sod it, going to the bank tomorrow to sort out. Public holiday here today, so nothing can be done about that today.

Then my Austrian social money has been paid, but its not on my bank account. So I log into my social online account to check that my details are correct. It only shows

the last 4 digits.

XXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXX 7052

I click the Check button, and it only gives me the option to put in my new details.

Why do they make everything so difficult?

They system has us coming and going;

My sister was able to finally pin down where exactly he was sent.

In Kern country near Bakersfield, Ca;

That country has several prisons; Booming population with all those prison based jobs! Big business!

He is in a place called Delano.

Full of Mexican gang members!!!!

Maybe it is a good thing he passes as almost any race? Dark hair and slightly olive skin tone?

I , we all just want him out, safe and free!

My husband and I can not understand what happened with both he and my halfie sister;

They lost their father when they were, 9 and 10 or there abouts,s.

Not an excuse to go nuts but seems no father, leads to some issues with some people?

IDK, pulling at straws again?

We may have to wire him some funds, seems his bank account has been frozen!

maybe that is a good thing, keep his greedy wives hands off his savings?

He made a real  mess of his life.

I never knew anyone who had been in prison before, having a jail bird in the family is a bit much!

I hope he does not come out with a tat of a tear drop under his eye!!

Speaking of eyes, went back to my ophthalmologist yesterday;

Had an exam and was sent over to see the women who did my cataract surgery about 4 1/2 years ago;

One eye is blurry.

Need a secondary surgery, in office takes about 5 mins to do with a laser.

Next year probably will get done.

Had no idea about 50 percent of these surgeries need adjustments later.

Nice enough doctor but I did not recognize her at all!

My eyes were not that bad pre surgery!

No , she seemed different, like life has gotten her down. no more smile and she aged about a good 15 years.

I being the crazy empath I am, wanted to ask her if she was alright. Stopped myself of course ,way too personal a question.

We often tend to focus only on our own issues and forget everyone goes through stuff.

How much is too much?!

He seems to have come out of nowhere.

I guess the other drivers were saying that too!

Oh dear, that tear drop tat would mean he killed someone! 

Well, that's what TV shows say. I just saw a prison drama from the 1970s with Joe Don Baker in it.   Remember him? He was of course, framed by crooked cops and politicians etc.

Anyway, Joe Don Baker's character made a load of friends in prison including mafia types, they helped him out, protected him from vicious guards.  And of course, he came out a semi-professional criminal ready to shoot people dead, rob others and engage in bar fights.

Maybe this is Prison University!

At least your sis has managed to find him and maybe he'll spend a bit of time there before he gets let out if  the lawyers do their jobs.  He could be held on remand longer than the sentence he might receive.  In which case they should release him immediately! What a crazy system!

Lawyer, no he had a public defender, people call them, public pretenders!

Terrible lawyer. Must of just gotten out of school or has some sort of bad habit and is a slave to it, drinking, speed freak, IDK, I also watch too much tv!

He said the other inmates so far are helping him, the guards, no way.

Bunch of bullies!

Weird thing, my cousin, Shirley,s son worked as a prison guard in NM for a few years. He was a LT.

He had to quit because of some health issues he has.

Now, if all guards were nice like him, there would be no worries.

Had to look up who Joe Don Baker was.

Know his face, not his name.

89 years old at passing, not too bad.

Went down the rabbit hole watching David Icke on U tube.

He was banned for ages on U tube and has just come back.

Had  our water meter changed today;

My hubby gets so stressed about these mandatory updates.

The gas and electric companies change out the meters at their own expense.

Not so with the water co.

Guess it is 38,000 forints more on our next bill.

The guy was nice and fast .

Went afterwards to Tesco to buy groceries for the weekend.

Rather busy for noon on a Thursday, too many holiday shoppers.

Came out to our car and my husband had a hard time opening up the boot, trunk.

Looks like some jack A@@ jimmied it.

Nothing inside to steal worth a thing;

What sort of scumbag wants to steal from a 30 year old car?

My hubby fixed it in about 4 mins but the idea of it bugs for sure:
