Absolutely Anything Else
Cousin just informed me my bro was moved on Jan.8th.
Sure takes time for their system to let us know!
I hope this is his last move till he is sprung.
I also hope since he is suppose to be in the min; security section that he has more freedom of movement.
The old place just let them out 2 hours a day.
Just read Trump is coming to Hungary in March to help OV with his election.

Blinking Trump. I'm sick of looking at him. Like just because he's coming, it would make anyone decide for OV?  I think people already know what they are doing and positions are entrenched.  Trump is not the model for society we need. It's 90% dystopia.
I saw Machado gave Trump her physical Nobel prize (Trump didn't win it, she did, and it's irrevocable).  I almost threw up looking at the pictures because Trump and ICE are beating on and shooting up Venezuelans in Minneapolis. Ok, there are crooks everywhere, but while Machado's fawning over Trump, he's bigly cosying up to Ms "Delcy Rodriguez" Maduro Part II and saying stuff like Machado's got no support.  WTF is going on? Are they all drunk on "success" post-Maduro?  That was easy so it's all easy.  What are they going to do with Iran? TACO moniker is back again - bottled out as Iran is in no way a pushover.   Â
Maybe your bro's previous problems with violence meant he'd be in a worse level but since his medical issues, he's less likely to kick off what with one leg and the wheelchair.  Maybe he can get some anger management courses? Or unofficial support from fellow Level 1 inmates? I am sure there's a better class of perp in Level 1.  I still think he should be out on bail and/or tagged.
Yes,they get high on power.
I mean just how much money does anyone really need? It can not be about money but power and control.
Yes, my bro is a real sweet kind guy but he has issues with women who manipulate him.
He always went for the secret bad girls.
His first wife, the mother of his son was 15 and he 16 when they met.
Mom was not happy about him dating just one girl at such a young age.
She fooled us all, acted very mature for her age. Her mom had health issues and she helped her mother with everything,parents seemed solid.
Mom was so happy she lived long enough to attend their wedding when he was in his early 20s. They dated for years and we all thought she was good for him;
No, just about the day after they moved into their first apt; she started and affair with the apt; manager!
Then she got on heroin!
Crazy, she later after their divorce hooked up with a guy who,s parents were ultra wealthy. They did not marry soon enough before the guy died out of the blue. His parents outlived him so no money for her!
Second wife was a very pretty Mexican lady who had a high profile job in the record industry. Sort of a hostess for bands, would book their hotels, make sure they got everything they needed, set up rides etc; for them. A very friendly lady with a nice personality. We met her in Vegas and found her fun to be around. Very charming person.
Well, she is the one who got him his first DV charge. Bro came home from work and found her having fun with his best friend at the time.
Threw his so called BFF through a plate glass window and spent 6 months locked up.She is the one who sold everything and had plastic surgery, he lost it all and seems he is losing it all again.
This was well over 30 years ago.
Now this new drama queen in his life!
Looked at the prison he is in now, guess who some of their guests are?
The Menendez brothers!!
Holy cow!
If he needs a partner later on, he should find a nice one legged women with a good disability check!

Well, I guess no-one forgets past records and no-one can be trusted until they can be. But how does one get rehabilitated. I think he's made a lot of dodgy choices in the past. It's not normal to end up with manipulating partners. One of my relatives is suffering from that.  His Mrs has no credibility at all with us. We think she's a grifter.Â
I know nothing about your bro but I have to say it. Not trying to be rude or anything like that, but could his partner choices be some mother issues being replayed out each time? Â
Menendez Bros eh? I don't know much about them but I saw them on TV and they were convicted of murdering their parents. I've no idea if they had a fair trial but I'd have thought Level 1 was a bit weak for convicted murderers.  I suppose they could be "jail royalty".  If they did kill their parents, probably no-one will mess with them.
Yes, my poor bro lost his father when he was gosh, 9 or so.
My mother was very head strong, she had to be but not a great example for a son I suppose.
Her way or the highway.
I took the highway at 17 but not everyone is as antsy as me.
Sad, really, if his father had lived I know he would be different.
His first wife had been hard working and kind but changed, The 2nd ones were divorcees and made more money then my bro did, twice as much.
No excuse but I understand him.
Level 1 is where he is suppose to be but these prisons are huge and have all levels in the complex.
I think they do not mix levels if possible but then again a person with traffic violations can be a cell mate with a rapist or killer.
Took the bus over to the outdoor market today.
For some reason the song by Weird Al Yankovic popped in my head, Another one Rides the Bus.
It was not even overly crowded.
It is a bad system in the US.
If you are on their bad side, they mess you up.
Heard sometimes people with less then 5 years time are cell mates with lifers.
Anything could happen, scary.What does a lifer have to lose?
BTW, no offence taken about my bro having some issues.
I am the first to bring it up.
No wonder my friend list is so small, I like the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
Not exactly they way to make friends and influence people.
I never stroke anyone,s ego.
I dislike it when I feel anyone trying to stroke mine.

I might be naïve but I always thought prison was for rehabilitation, not punishment.Â
But I always hear from political extremists that they want the state to take revenge for wrongdoing.  That's not the role of the state in my mind.
I've been the victim of petty crime here and what I really would have wanted was restitution and an apology.Â
Lifers in the UK usually get out after 20 years. Even for murder. And there's no death penalty anywhere around here. Life doesn't actually mean life in many cases. Some crimes though are so heinous, the perps never get out. I cite the Moors murderers.  I was a child back then and it scared the living daylights out of me what people were capable of.
In the US if an inmate is sentenced to 15,20 , etc. to life it just means they must serve the min sentence before going to parole. They may wind up doing 17 years on a 15 to life sentence. If they are sentenced by the judge to life without parole, then it is real life locked up.
I am learning all about it, sadly.
Great news though, my bro is up for parole in June not Sept.
Really they should just let him walk, roll, now but he insulted the system by breaking probation.
Guess it had nothing to do with his DV case but about not listening to their rules.
I looked up The Moors Murders.
Horrible, in a US prison the inmates would take care of them both.
Certain crimes are too much for the hardest of the hard to put up with.
Glad you only experienced a petty crime.
It feels horrible to be a victim of anything petty or major.
I had some loon point a gun at my head and it was both scary and infuriating.
Really thought I was going to , bite the bullet for a few seconds.
Total strange too.
Crazy me, after he drove off I started to chase his car!
I wanted his full plate number, only got half of it.
Still, since it was a newish dark brown Mercedes 450 SL and the guy was middle aged, you would think it would easy easy to find him with half a plate number.
Hard to prove I suppose unless others reported him also and he had a rap sheet.
At least I reported him, never know he might of done that to others.
What gets me is on those crime shows whenever a weapon is used, people just get in the car and hope for the best.
Never works out well, just gives 2 crime scenes instead of one.
If they mean harm then bring it on .To move out to a remote location is worst.
My mother was attacked before I was born.
Walked home from night shift with a few other ladies. Turned by herself for the last block to our house.
Was grabbed from behind while passing the park on the sidewalk; Guy put a knife to her throat and started to drag her backwards into the park.
My mom was a tiny but tough lady. She fought back somehow he hit her, she hit him all sorts of action on the sidewalk before going into the park;
A couple drove by and noticed the fight, first thy thought it was a domestic issue and wanted to stay out of it. They way my mother was fighting though made them rethink it. They called the cops; Mom was not thankfully raped but she was black and blue, so was the guy from what I can guess; He ran off and the police took mom home; My father had a huge lecture from the police about her walking home alone. He was babysitting my 2 sisters and worked during the day.Mom quit her job after that.
I mentioned before, my uncle, moms older half bro was a professional boxer. He taught mom some moves, they came in handy for sure. The attacker was probably surprised when his victim gave him a few good shots.
Chip wreck! Thousands of chips wash ashore on the beach



Thousands of bags of chips have washed up on a beach in Sussex.
The chips washed up near Eastbourne after several shipping containers containing "food and packaging" came ashore nearby earlier this week.
In the past six weeks, three separate incidents have seen 24 shipping containers washing up in Selsey Beach in West Sussex, among many such along the Sussex coastline.

Onions

Bananas

Shipping cargo debris

Interesting that the gulls won't have to steal the chips from visitors. The onions look workable.

It's the plastic bags and the netting, which are the real issue, danger to wildlife.

Usually they let UK criminals out after 1/2 their sentence. Then go on license/parole and can be recalled if they break the terms of the license. Sounds like your bro has recurrent issues. Is there any programme to rehabilitate for your bro? Deal with anger issues?Â
Sorry to hear your Mum was attacked. My sister was also attacked with some perp trying to drag her into the bushes.  She managed to get away but it shook her up. I never knew about at the time as I was a tiny kid. She was about 13 I think.  We tried to get our daughter to learn Aikido but while she went a few times, she didn't like the teacher. So that was the end of that. I do wonder about her overestimating her own abilities.
Last night, she was out at a birthday party in Szolnok and planning to come back at 3am by train on her own. Mrs F said, no way, and went to get her in the car. And this is mid-week. This is a typical and recurring situation where I keep telling our kid to get a driving license. She could have driven herself there and driven herself back.  No drinking of course but drinking is bad for you anyway. Â
I do say to our daughter that she needs to think how she uses Mum as a taxi driver in the middle of the week. Mum has to go to work the same day but getting to bed at 5am or not sleeping at all is not a good idea.
Of course, the organiser of the party could have done it at the weekend. That would have made more sense.
Or the person throwing the party could of let everyone sleep on the floor till daylight hours.
Watched a horrific crime story last night that still has me shaken to my core;
Japan, 1988, the sad case of Junko Furuta.
Every person needs to know a safe word, no matter their age. She might of been saved if she had one and could of told her parents on the phone.
Best for people to stay in a group.
I am totally shocked about the light sentence these monsters got.
If they were skinned alive that would not fit the crime, maybe boiled alive would be more fitting.
Speaking of crimes, my bro sent a letter, said now he does have hot water in his cell but it does not shut off, the floor is flooded, he needs to put towels down.
Great for a one legged man to dodge puddles!
They gave him a 23 year old gang banger to push him around; He knows why the kid volunteered to help him;
He just leaves my bro in his chair with a towel on after the shower and goes downstairs to make his drug deals and see the other bangers. Bro is put on hold.
Nice service!
He asked to be put in a jail closer to home but no, sent him hundreds of miles away.
We are finally going to step up and send him some funds, he needs them now.
June can not arrive fast enough!
Also he is suppose to be in a level 1 yard. But no, they put him in a level 3!!
Doubt they know what they are doing inside there at all!
No, jail is for torture not for rehab.
If I was young and thinking of a career, I might look into jail reform as a project.
Had no idea how backwards it is;
Yes, some people should fry but there are many inside who have no business being there, just bad luck and few stupid mistakes.
So super lazy these past couple of days.
Just want to stay home and not deal with people, places or things.
Not my usual self.
Tomorrow is suppose to be nice warmer and sunny.
Have to break out and get out for sure.
Should be glad we are not dealing with the weather storm like the USÂ is experiencing.
My sister said the wind and cold are so bad that she can not look under the hood of her car.
Her car just stopped, had to tow it home.
Probably a simple fuel filter fix but at minus 40 not so simple to do.
My Vegas friend is making me get upset with her.
She deals with urinary infections all the time, she uses a catheter, not exactly sure how that works but it gives her infections all the time.
She also mentioned her lungs feel like an elephant is standing on her. I know that feeling, had bronchitis, sounds like she has that too.
What upsets me is she refuses to go to the doctors office.
Going to call, I doubt they take it seriously when you just call in.
I,ve tried to scare her about sepsis.
I am a bit mad at her husband for allowing her to make this call instead of just dragging her to the office for a real check up.
Everyone is somewhat responsible for their own health but sometimes we need a push.
My it seems all I do lately is write about other people,s problems.
Should be glad they are not my problems.
In any case I find it difficult to be at total peace when people around me are not doing good.
I do find most problems are self inflicted ones.

I always think being lazy some days is a necessity. I mean, you've done time, you're entitled. I saw it'll be better tomorrow with sunshine. We were out in the car and I could see some hints of sun on the hills.Â
I doubt your sister's car is a diesel as they aren't so popular in the US. But they wax up in seriously cold weather.  When you say -40, I suppose you mean Fahrenheit. That's not that cold, about 4C. If it's -40C, that's seriously cold. My Dad always told me to be in a couple of litres of petrol/gas in a diesel car if it was really cold. I think that's old advice as most fuels are tailored for local weather nowadays.  My 4WD was made in Canada and has an engine heater but I've never used it (wrong voltage, bang!).
I'm not really having any sympathy for the US at the moment. I am so disappointed the Euro-US relationship is so far in the doldrums. The shooting of that guy in Minneapolis is just dreadful. And the line the government there is taking is just awful.  As observers, it's an example of how not to behave.  These are the not civilised values we expect of our allies. Maybe some of those GOP Trump sycophants will push back. I'm seeing polls where Trump is so far underwater, he'll be obliterated in the mid-terms.  We know he doesn't do well in pushback.
Your friend needs to be seen by a medic pronto. That catheter could be infected. If she has a UTI, she could become really confused or indeed, die of sepsis.  If it gets too far, it could be too late. Even leaving it 48h could be fatal. I expect she'll be put on a drip. I suppose she's dehydrated. It's amazing how much confusion in a person is called by the combo of UTI and dehydration.  My Dad was diagnosed with that and he was in hospital for 3 days. It was that serious. But of course, in the UK, it's all "free" (it's paid out of general taxation, not insurance).  Nothing to pay so no reason not to call.
More will defect- @SimCityAT
No great loss. Just another has-been joins the One Trick Pony Club.
But definitely another foot in the grave for the Tories. Sinking ship. Rats. We all can see.
I'm more concerned about this Andy Burnham fiasco.  I thought possibly Burnham would resign from the party and stand as an independent to be both mayor and a candidate for MP.  If he was elected as MP, he could resign the Mayorship and re-join the party.  Maybe Labour wouldn't let him back in.Â
In the meantime, Starmer seems to have grown a backbone standing up to Trump. About time. The sycophancy was turning my stomach.
Nice outside today.
Minn. Is 40 C below.
Not even sure mountain gear would keep anyone warm enough.
My Vegas friend told me not to worry, she is calling today and probably will send her husband in for a sample kit .
Still...
One minute she is ready to check out for good and the next she is ordering new furniture!
Hard to know when she is serious.
Getting a delivery of new living room chairs in a few days.
Her old ones are only 13 months old but she does not find them comfy enough.
Fine but instead of placing an add and dealing with people coming to see the old ones she is going to have her husband break them apart piece by piece and put in the trash. Strange since she is always going on about pollution etc.
They have a massage unit in them, I am sure the first person who sees them would grab them up .
My husband says she wants to spend every penny before she passes
Off today to the eye clinic, really not feeling it.
Hope they give me an appointment soon to get that laser surgery done in office.
I thought cataract surgery was good the first time around. Guess not.
Looked on U tube for the film, Silence.
Not there, oh well, checked out the clips and I did see it long ago.

Smashing up the sofa seems a bit odd. Why not just give them away? It's too much work to take them to bits. So long as they come with a van or a truck and a couple of strong lads, easier to do that.  There must be a sharing site for recycling somewhere. Â
Definitely spend it all before popping off. No pockets in a shroud. My ex-wife told me that but she took enough off me, you'd think she was taking it all with her.  As far as I know she's still trundling along.  I haven't seen her for 20+ years. I see my 2 kids (with her) reasonably often. They are very much adults in their mid-30s.
I was looking at video from Minnesota and it looks really cold. My daughter in Canada told me she had to shovel snow at lunch time. They had 30cm in a big dump but it was then sunny.  But it was cold. They said they are fed up with snow and winter.  So, they are thinking of leaving Ontario for BC as it doesn't snow as much there apparently. I don't know if they really want to stay there. I am unclear if they have a plan. Perhaps they'll go to Ireland as her hubby is Irish.  He works outside. In the winter. In Canada. God knows how he gets dressed up.
I was zapped by laser in my eyeballs. I think they were too conservative at the Eye Hospital here. The next thing was to zapped by cryotherapy. Twice. That's really cold needles inserted in your retina. Strangely enough, keeping still was more difficult than having freezing needles inserted. Gave me brain freeze headaches.  Did it make any difference to my sight? Not that I've noticed. But I wasn't being treated for cataracts.
Movies around are not great at the moment. "Silence" might not cut it. I need "box sets" of TV shows to binge.
Surprised, went in today for my eye exam and she did the laser surgery today!
Glad it is over with. Did not expect it today, thought it would be yet another few months from now.
Other eye is still not too bad so that may be addressed later if it gets worst.
Just need to out in drops 3 times a day and let her see me in a couple weeks.
ATM my eyes are dilated and I feel slightly high from whatever drop she put in my eye to numb it up.
Vancouver is suppose to be a nice place. My sister lived there for IDK, 6 months back in the mid 70,s.
She enjoyed it.
At the time the group Heart played local clubs up there. She met the Ladies and said they were both real sweet.
Yes, one moment my husband is angry at our son and says things like F him, I should be in a resort enjoying my life, what is left of it and not save for him to enjoy.
Honestly from the videos I see about SE Asia it seems it is a dream world for some old fart man in his 60,s but where does that leave us old hags??
No way on earth would I build a house for some dude and let him in my funds only to throw me away after I go broke. Would not take too long to go broke over there, have to support the entire village full of 3rd cousins and all their problems.
My first cousin, the one who is generous and lived on a Indian reservation for a decade, now lives with his wife in N. Philippines. For awhile he moved them far off from her family because they were too much.
Just walk in your home and take out food from your fridge without asking or giving back.
They figure what is yours, is theirs.
My cousin is generous but he is a big guy, no one messes with his food supply!
Think now they live next door to one of his wives relations; Chickens running in the house etc;
No thanks!
I like tropical but that is more then I could bare!
Nice out today but could not really take advantage of it.
Well, my bro was moved finally to a level 1 area but still has to do yard in a level 2. They plan on moving him to a level 1 yard since he has no business in a level 2, 3 or 4.
Torture is suppose to be illegal in the US,so they say.
He is a tiny bit more relaxed now, no real dangerous inmates around him.
They will set him up with some sort of work duty that he can do from his wheelchair.
When that happens they will take 33 percent of his time off. So he could possibly be out before summer!
He can hear the dogs, they have a work duty of training dogs, he would love to do that but without his leg, doubt it can be done.
All this is happening not because of any argument with his wife but because his anger got him and he broke the courts laws.
It,s so weird for this to happen to him after all he went through with losing his leg and rehab for over a year.
They do not care if a person has PTSD just their way or lock up.

This is good news. Really, he needs to be on an anger management course. The court could have ordered that and not locked him up if he attends regularly. Like probation checks etc. On the health issues, surely it would have been mitigating circumstances to ask for courses and probation instead of jail time. Going through leg loss will give anyone PTSD. But I suppose his previous sentences showed a pattern.  Seems to be a bit much though.
Well, my bro was moved finally to a level 1 area but still has to do yard in a level 2. They plan on moving him to a level 1 yard since he has no business in a level 2, 3 or 4.Torture is suppose to be illegal in the US,so they say.He is a tiny bit more relaxed now, no real dangerous inmates around him.They will set him up with some sort of work duty that he can do from his wheelchair.When that happens they will take 33 percent of his time off. So he could possibly be out before summer!He can hear the dogs, they have a work duty of training dogs, he would love to do that but without his leg, doubt it can be done.All this is happening not because of any argument with his wife but because his anger got him and he broke the courts laws.It,s so weird for this to happen to him after all he went through with losing his leg and rehab for over a year.They do not care if a person has PTSD just their way or lock up. - @Marilyn TassyThis is good news.

My bro WAS a tough biker type with a soft heart.
He no longer fits the profile of a tough biker and has grown up and changed.
Too bad they pigeon hole people.
Yes, your past can catch up to you.
I am concerned about what is going to happen when he gets sprung.
He needs to stay miles away from that women and never ever see her again unless it is in divorce court.
Sad but reality.
He gets on with everyone but her.
He gets too emotional with her.
I am pretty sure while inside they have classes on anger management etc; that one must take if the court orders it.
My son had to take anger management classes after his beef with his Hungarian ex.
Long story, he was so naive and too young to deal with her properly.
He said in those classes there were guys who beat up their wives many,many times and took those classes many, many times.
No idea why my bro was targeted for such harsh punishment.
My son said some of those guys were so rough and their stories so sad, he was surprised no one committed murder.
Some people just enjoy pushing other peoples buttons.
Some people let their emotions rule them, bad combo.
Can not really talk people out of it either.
I personally have never had such a one way relationship but I tend to walk away from issues at the first sign of things being weird.
I figure you can only control yourself, not others.
My son is generally like that too, except with his ex HU wife. She had him all wrapped around her finger.
She played with his mind, shut him off from people and influenced him too much.
My bro,s ladies also act that way, cut him off and take control for their own selfish desires.
I should of become a social worker, can see right through the BS, hard to convince people they are being used if they do not want to see.
Just read an article about the Epstein files and a Hungarian connection.
A 20 year old Hungarian women was offered to Epstein.
There was a flat used for whatever located at 70 Kiraly St.
Epstein requested the flat to be sold.
IDK thought 20 was a bit old for him!

Wow, Epstein is everywhere!  I am sure there's a lot more in those millions of documents but they've redacted them and that's just obstructive. What sanction can they bring? Not much.
Of course, everyone wants to see Trump and a smoking gun. I see the Clintons will testify to Congress.  Possibly this changes things. If they testify, would that mean Donny has to testify as well? Â
Of course, he'd think nothing of lying and he can do it with impunity.  The whole truth and nothing but the truth doesn't apply to that guy. Like many in that administration, you can tell they are lying when their lips are moving.
There's some weird interview with Epstein knocking around. I've not seen it but it was supposedly conducted by Steve Bannon. Â

Oh tell me about it. My ex-wife was the same with the button pushing. Her method didn't work on me as I saw it for what it was, manipulation. She was sneaky too. Only result for me was to walk away.
I see the same kind of efforts by one of my relative's wife. She's trying to change his thinking but that's absolutely useless. He's in his 50s. No-one is going to change fundamentally especially because of pressure from outside. God knows why he married her. She thinks probably he was a project. I just see an unhappy person in him and domineering behaviour from her.
Mrs Fluffy plays it right. She takes the long term view. She lets me mull it over and doesn't try to over argue her point. Let's it stew for as long as it takes. I'm really stubborn but she knows I'll compromise eventually. Maybe that's why it works. Patience of a saint vs donkey stubbornness. Carrots vs the whip!
We fire signs can tend to fly off the handle but quickly cool down and listen to logic.
I really try not to put much into zodiac signs but lately U tube is showing allot of suggested videos on them.
Some are shorts that are funny and somewhat true to form.
Saw one last night explaining why Saggittarius is the most HATED sign.
I think we are open minded, friendly and can make the best of friends, guess it might not be true after all?
Too blunt, to into freedom and not being caged and keep allot of emotions inside which makes people think we are heartless and rude.
Well at least when we decide to be loyal, we fight till the wheels come off as the saying goes.
My bro,s son is suppose to get sprung from country jail tomorrow!
I have no clue why he was in there.
I broke down and wrote his GF just saying it is good news he is getting out and wishing them the best.
Still have not heard a thing about what she has done with my bros van and bank cards.
Guess it is not my business but then again, that loyalty thing gets me.
My cousin in NM wrote telling me the latest on FB from my bros witchy wife.
Her friends are asking how my bother and she are doing and how is he etc.
She posted a fake heart emoji like all is well!
My cousin had to hold back from telling her friends my bro has been locked up for 7 months and that his wife could care less.
She is burning knowing she is enjoying life while my bro is suffering.
Good thing I am not on FB any longer or I know I could not keep quiet.
Fake people are my number one enemies.
Do not expect everyone to think like myself but fake people, no room for them at all.
Latest on Epstein is he had connections with Hungarians so called, supermodels with Orban!!
Oh fame might be nice but what a cost!!
Orban, wonder what Mrs; OV is doing about this news?
Just heard, Charlie has passed away.
RIP.
Saw him singing at an event outside of Budapest about 20 years ago.
Fun day, some sort of Champagne event for Torley.
Our old HU friends were buddies with Charlie, guess he will be laid to rest and the old gang will be there.
End of yet another era.
Oops,
Fake news!!
Long live the King!
I was told Charlie passed and thought of the Hungarian singer Charlie.
No, he is still kicking and so is the King of England;
I wish these fake news people would just fade away themselves!

I think I'd miss King Charlie but HU singer Charlie, nope, definitely not!
It's all clickbait. It's constant cat and mouse games to try and stop people spamming or intrusive adverts. It's like a never ending war subject to constant escalation.

OV's wife is probably biding her time. OV looks in such bad shape, he could kick the bucket anytime. I saw a picture of him and he was hiding his massive tummy behind a podium. It might have been AI'd.
When I look at OV, I see a tried old guy, overweight, with a thick neck more suitable to be an ex-bouncer at a seedy night club. He's in his 60s. Then we see Magyar Peter, he's 20 years younger than OV, he's fit looking and he's on message and is a careful operator.
Mrs F and I are under no illusions about MP. He was Fidesz, his instincts will lie there. But he is a pro-European and pro-EU and he's ambivalent about Ukraine to avoid annoying the base. OV is so desperate to BS people with this and that. We know MP might be OV-lite but he's not OV and that's all that matters.
April 12th and we'll know!
I can not understand how anyone can allow their bodies to blow up like OV unless they are on some medication and can not help it.
How much of the good life can one take?
Must do nothing but eat every 5 mins.
I am sure he has a team of doctors on stand by.
Like Zsa, Zsa did.
Mentioned my husband met a taxi driver in Vegas who had worked as a driver for her years beforehand.
She rode in her car with him driving but not far behind was a ambulance that was not painted like one.
It was her private ambulance in case she went down and needed medical care before help could arrive.
Too much money on their hands!

There's a terrible picture of OV floating around where he's standing behind a podium. He looks like he can hardly stand up. Almost like a joke version of himself.  If he's blown up like that, he's either eating too much or he's on steroids. My bro was on steroids and really became bloated looking. But he had cancer and steroids were used to reduce inflammation.  But of course, one wonders really what is going on.  OV doesn't look well really. He needs to lose 20-30kg straight away. On the other hand, he can just retire to Dubai and count the cash he's squirreled away.
Zsa Zsa must have had loads of money. I didn't think she'd worked enough to afford hot and cold running doctors and medics at her beck and call. Maybe her hubby had money.
Didn't do her any good when the grim reaper turned up. And she's buried in Budapest. - here: National Graveyard - Fiumei Street, Kerepesdűlő, Józsefváros, Budapest

Zsa Zsa has been laid to rent not far from us.
Visiting her grave is on my, Bucket list!
I can not fully remember the details of the guy who drove her around in Ca; but he had several jobs around her home to do.
When not being her driver, he did yard work etc.
I think he was married and his wife worked inside her home.
All Hungarians of course.
I would not doubt if there were more Hungarians in the US then here in Hungary!

Get over there and say hello. Anytime. She's not going anywhere.
I think her sister might be there too - nearby - but no idea really.Â
I think you are referring to the Hungarian "mafia". Mrs F seems to attract HU people. We get approached somehow by HU people who seem to have a 6th sense that others might be around. So not surprised Zsa Zsa had an entourage of HU people helping her out.
I am not really sure how talented she was but she made money of course by saying Darlink, and not quite being a dumb blonde.
HU mafia, yes they are real!
I have stories , second hand ones but still!
I bra; without knowing it! Just for about 2 days, it was odd and I knew it was not for me;
Cold calling, amn those people sure can BS on the phone! Not me, I am not a great salesperson.
I approach it as take it or leave it.
Even working in salons, we made a percentage of beauty product sales.
I never pushed, if I saw a person could probably not afford a $10. bottle of shampoo with their $8.00 cut I never laid on any pressure; I would mention it but never push, I always told them to think about it, maybe next visit.
Why embarrass anyone?
One client cracked me up though, he was 80 percent bald, young man, poor thing he wanted all the products to grow his hair in.
No pressure on him, he asked for it.
I told him his hair would not grown back just from a good shampoo but I also did not want to get fired for turning away sales.
My bro should be getting out in late June;
They are going to move him once again soon;
Moved , IDK, 4 or 5 times already?
He calls it his, Prison Tour!

Do you think they keep moving your bro to keep him disoriented? Or is it a gradual move to lower security levels as he moves on for good behaviour?  Not too long until June. Maybe he should get what he can medically out of it. For free.
Ah upselling.  Good shampoo is a marvel. IF you have hair. I'm still fortunate to have quite a bit. And good shampoo makes me look like an old grizzled geezer with pretentions of a youthful glossy race horse type or lions mane. I wish. I need to look in the mirror more for a dose of realism.
Your customer could have got a hair transplant or some drugs to bring back his hair (and destroy his prostate). Or had his cojones cut off - ok a bit extreme. But it's testosterone that does it.  That's why hair falls out as you know.  Removing the nuts will not make it grow back either. I suppose it could be alopecia or whatever. Anyway, really a bald head should show virility but strange how society interprets it otherwise. Maybe full head of hair is a sign of youth? I do not know for sure.
Which brings me to Star Trek. Many things bring me to Star Trek.  How come Captain Picard was as bald as a coot and yet in the 23rd century or whatever, they had not solved that issue? So many unanswered questions for a Friday.
BTW, those cold callers often want a potential target to fill in a survey online or verbally.  It seems, they want to gather information and if they can get enough of that plus voice samples, they can clone voices for getting in a victim's bank.Â
There's a variation apparently where one has to hand fill in something like an online car checking form and they ask for bank details, then call you and go through it getting enough voice samples to phone the bank. People are being robbed! Â
Nowadays I don't know anyone who actually uses a phone to call their bank these days. Everything is on the phone app and uses secure messaging within the app. Or directly and physically in the branch with ID.
