DAVID SMITH! If you get a friend request or see a post from him BEWARE! His post indicated many things for sale (truck, camper, many other things) to clear out his father's home in Brownville NY.
When I indicated I was interested in quite few items (about $15k), he said to pay a deposit of $5k into his account and he would hold them. Because I don't trust much that I see on these sites, I told him to call me direct or I would call him. He kept avoiding that. Finally, after a number of requests for contact, I was blocked, and the PM was deleted. I was suspicious because, even though he was on my friends list, we had many mutual friends (mostly Ambit) and when asked about Ambit he had no knowledge about them. JUST BEWARE!

To all my friends.

As time marches on, it's natural for the paths of friends to diverge. The shared moments of youth, once so vivid and frequent, can become scattered memories as responsibilities grow. It's a universal experience, this gentle drifting apart, yet it doesn't diminish the bond that was formed in those carefree days. The silence doesn't mean the end of friendship; it's just a quiet space where life happens. It's in these quiet moments that the strength of those connections is truly tested, not by the frequency of contact, but by the depth of understanding and the hope that, in spirit, everyone is moving forward together. The silent prayers and hopes are the unspoken words of encouragement, a testament to the enduring nature of friendship. It's a silent acknowledgment that, though life may lead you on different paths, the journey is shared in the heart.

Love and miss you all!

The Vice-Presidential Debate: A Lesson in Civility

The recent vice-presidential debate has been a breath of fresh air for many viewers. In a political climate that's often saturated with harsh rhetoric and personal attacks, this event stood out for its civility and professionalism.

The candidates discussed their platforms and visions for the future, engaging in a dialogue that was both informative and respectful. This approach allowed the audience to focus on the policies and ideas presented, rather than getting distracted by drama and name-calling.

The debate also highlighted the importance of decorum in politics. It showed that it's possible to disagree without being disagreeable, and that policy discussions can be conducted in a manner that's both dignified and constructive.

Many viewers appreciated this change of pace and expressed hope that it might set a new standard for political discourse. The vice-presidential candidates demonstrated that it's not only what you say that matters, but also how you say it.

As the nation moves forward, the debate serves as a reminder that civility is a valuable asset in any discussion, especially those concerning the future of the country. It's a lesson that, hopefully, will not be forgotten anytime soon.
