Maggie's FarmWe are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for. |

Tuesday, February 13. 2024Bulldog UpdateThanking Bird Dog so much! We had a great call, even though I (sadly for a few moments) forgot his name. But it did come back and things are working again. For me - the move is 100% support and love for all of you and thankfulness of your support. Health? Amazing for a 61, soon to be 62 year old. My surgeon does the 3mm cancer removal from my left brain and says there is work to do to figure out what it is and what the likely length(s) are. We shall see. 1 year? 10 years? 20 years? We do not know. We shall see. He said "you can go to the gym after the surgery is repaired as you are encouragingly great shape! How were you against 45 year olds?" I told him I had won a lot in tennis this past summer against "better" 45 year old tennis players. More than even I'd expected. I ran the night of surgery for 7 miles online! Faster than 45 year olds! Suddenly the ONLY person who I couldn't understand (knew the English, but not the logic) was my wife! It had happened for 4 weeks first. Then the surprised issue on Friday Feb 2 and a hospital visit as a result from her with me leading to the study and surgery.... Anyone else? NO PROBLEM for 4 weeks. So odd and Feb 2 the doctors were speaking English and I just stared and said "Hmmm...it's English. I know the words. I cannot tell what you're asking me." Got the name, address, birthday, day lengths, car information, work names and information - so much correct! Health and wife info? English. No clue. LOL, so bizarre. 2 steroid shots - it all clears up till surgery!!! Work? Lots of GREAT calls. NO issues. None, literally. My boss said "we know you have a few names and words you're working on - all good, though and you're 90% pushing the right words and the 10% are slowdowns to get them right - it's just us reminding you when you have to slow down." So I'm going to work to fix that over the next 2 months. Several friends called me this weekend about our political, religion and sports calls (particularly the Super Bowl) and literally everything I said and they responded? "100% correct and great to know." I even helped many people win a ton of money at the Super Bowl because I made my expectations - and as I have always understood sports really well it all paid off! All the best and as my health information becomes more and more available, I'll fill you in, but write about other things as well! Trackbacks

Love your statement!
Doing a lot more updates on religion for myself. I've always been religious, even lazily. But this changes things. Had a wonderful series of comments and languages with religious friends and people. Much smarter than the troll who is a dickhead. I'm being nice mostly. Friendly, kind, open and fair. But I am losing my anger and views on the truly growing evil, too. One thing I noticed (confirmed by professor friends) is that my views have been 100% correct. Too much lie behavior and commentary spread by media news and the crap pushing stories in FBI, CIA and modern mainstream media. To be honest, I knew that from my jobs for years. You start out trying to be "fair" and treat people well. Over the last 7 years I've learned WAYYYY more from my jobs about the crap in media management. Lies by business and news leaders which I "wasn't allowed" to talk about. Time to expose them!!! I'm done with Democrats. Too many in media. Sadly, people think that means I'm a Republican. I'm not. Haven't been for 20 years. I'm Libertarian that continues to grow with honesty, accuracy, truth and it's all fun and good people. Some rare weirdos LOL. But generally positive. I'm not ANTI Republican. I'm just taking it easier with them - I've had longer great relationships with them. Democrats over the last 8 years have become truly evil. 14 years ago in SF mostly. Lately in NYC area. That's the tough part, sadly. Had a wonderful lunch with one person who I've remained friendly with even with her Dem point of view in NYC. She finally admitted she had been wrong for years about Dems in NYC and after living an entire life there she is now looking to leave and has become far more honest and fair about the evil of the Democrats. She and I have a few minor disagreements - but she's learning. Some aren't completely awful. Too many are, though. Interesting remarks about the troll. I started replying to the troll a decade ago, on various blogs. Some years later I decided it was a waste of my time to do so, and kept out of the comment wars involving the troll.
Hope your recovery goes well. My personal view.
1. At first I tried to be friendly and meet him. He was an asshole early on. 2. As part of my job at the office, did my homework on him. Know more than he realizes. I keep it quiet. It is usually felt "needed" in social media. I exposed him several times at my office, they refused to do anything. I know most of these efforts were problematic and wrong. He was a particularly complained and disliked member. Facebook oddly leaves many like him. Asswipes. 3. As my impact hit me, I reported him the other day and he was finally called out. I exposed his lies and errors fully. He is deeply evil in my personal view. I'd wanted to learn friendliness early on - even told him that years ago and tried to meet. He lied, hid, was a dickhead. Over time I blocked him for a while, so did Doc Mercury. I finally decided to let him just be an asshole until I finally gave up on his utterly obvious stupidity. Several professor friends knew who he was and said "he needs to be removed". I kept a lot of that quiet. I can't do it anymore. My mind is now speaking well to me and I'm done with stupidity like him. He's a lying asshole. While I've tried to be loving, friendly, meeting and fair - he proved to be evil in the most strange and evil way. He is stupid and lies too much. That's it. I'm done with his shit. He will still show up - saw his image today. He MUST GO AWAY FOREVER AND STOP HIS ASSWIPE. It's amazing having jobs like mine and knowing so much and knowing how to handle it all peacefully or honestly - while he's dishonest and lying! He thinks (even said once) that I'm stupid. I'm not. I'm just quiet sometimes and he thinks he's smarter than he is. He's rather easy to learn about...but I know you can't make everything open and honest so I tried my careful approach. With my current position, I'm done. Thank you for commenting and following up for whatever there is. I'm done with that trash. I will continue more writing as my health recovers. Even my boss said "I thought you'd be struggling more and you're doing incredibly well and people weren't expecting your intelligence level so well!" Well - when you take a struggling business through 2023, enter 2024 with a lot of downward looks at revenue and opportunities, then close several big new pieces in one week at the end of January - and you see "wow - 100% revenue growth this year, 200% next year, etc." You have partners saying "dude - you are right about everything." Treating people well, and moving things honestly and fairly when other companies don't do that (like our asswipe troll) can build business well. 4500 people sent me GREAT notes on my public notes in business about my health! It has always paid me well to be honest, fair, true, and not lying. It is part of why I sued (and could have won a lot more than I chose to follow my modern employer than my last lying company full of asshole leaders) my previous employer. I'm happy to name their names today - even if they said I'm not allowed to. I'm tired of their evil. THEY were deeply evil people and my lawyers loved covering me as I exposed lies about: 1. Woke team treatment coverage 2. BLM team speaking about "evil white views" (also lies I got angry about) 3. Lying Democrats appearing to teach company business views on media 4. a major asshole CEO who was new (and now gone) ruining business with stupidity. Meanwhile, managers lying about things about me that I exposed to HR only to have HR turn against ME!!!! So getting my final payment (could have been millions more but I was loving my new company and job which is about to explode well) over me having age lies and statements made was a great moment for me! Sorry for all this - but time to just be clear. Funny how health events help clear your mind and boost your honesty!!! Sorry for all this - but time to just be clear.
Not need to be sorry. thanks for your reply. Thanks for the update Bulldog.
So let me get this straight, you recognized the words but didn't know what they meant? And a steroid shot temporarily remedied that? Hmmmm . . . . that's really weird. Anyway, take care of yourself and tell your wife I hope she does the same. She must be under terrible stress right now. I wish I could say something that would help. . . . LOL thank you!!!
Yeah it was weird hearing questions about medicine at 12am and not knowing what they were asking - even though I KNEW THE WORDS! I finally heard "he is having a brain stroke" and I said "NO I AM NOT" because THAT I somehow understood! LOL The 3mm cancer growth in the brain was something I had heard from OTHERS. Rare - actually nonexistent in my entire family until ME! That surgery removal was scary but went extraordinarily well!!! I've medication now until they determine the chemo medicines I'll need, and the length of survival. I sadly lost a friend in 2021 to a Glioma, after a 1 year knowledge when she fell during Covid. Naturally police were idiots. "Be careful of the Covid, etc." She said "fuck off - I'm dying. You think Covid scares me?" LOL. I spent full nights having dinner with her and her family. She was great. Another friend died of pancreatic cancer after 9 months. Great friend during Covid. Similar claims of stupidity on Covid by police - he always showed how they were being stupid and was funny as hell like her. My brother recently lost a friend of Glioma after a year and half - he'd go on fun drives with him to visit places and they had a great time. That's how I'll approach it all if that's me! Positive, good outlooks. Tell trolls like our asshole to go away and become normal than the dickhead he is. I'm done exposing him to my managers at work for his removal and closure. I doubt they will do it because people get stupid about this stuff. But it was easier exposing his threats and evil than he really understands. He's just a lying stack of shit. “I wish I could say something that would help.”
Amen. All I’ve got is prayers. And curses to cancer. All prayers welcome! Love all you people!!! Always have!
Followers here, mostly, have been: 1. Kind 2. Open 3. Honest Even if I haven't always been 100% in agreement with some, almost all have been GOOD PEOPLE. So I don't expect 100% with everyone. Mostly the kindness which someone clearly gave not a damn about and deserved my final result after my own surgery. But you? Remembered well. Love you guys and wish you well too! Aahhh, the borg. But they are everywhere. In politics, media. academia and most anywhere that they can trash reality.
Focus on your recovery and get back to us when you can. Sane players are always missed and their writing enjoyed. Best wishes. Thank you! As usual - love you all!!
Staying up, positive and all in a good point of mind!!! Seems like you've got the right attitude for this!
Glad to see you posting. Don't let the troll get you down, mate. Bless you and god speed on recovery.
I visit and read every day, multiple times usually, and appreciate all that you post and point me (us) to. Dear BullDog:
So sorry to hear about your physical challenge. My prayers will be with you. You and I got off on the wrong foot so many years ago, back when you got passed over for a promotion by some female. You did not challenge that and I was angry with you. My DH and I had already experienced the horrible direction the feminist leadership was taking this country and I expected every man to stand and defend himself. But you were right because it was too soon for many people to understand how bad things would get. You were forgiven a long time ago. You should have made arrangements for us to meet up when you came out to MT last year. I would have enjoyed meeting you though I am glad you did not decide to move to MT. City folks like yourself just have a harder time out here than they expect. Take care of yourself and know that you have made an important and positive contribution to this country. Best, Always a pleasure and things are great overall! It's always a wonder to hear from you and look forward to hearing more from you as I write a bit more.
Thank you for these updates Bulldog. We are all pulling for you and are glad to see you 'fighting up', as they say in the Caribbean. Keep it up! You're in our prayers.
Would try to post all of you with great thanks! But each one requires renewals - you've all been welcome and I am THANKFUL for all of you.
You've all been great wonders! It's actually a pleasure learning about the issues I have to fix and remedy, while also learning how to write again too! Had a nice college friend visit tonight before he and his wife leave for a safari Thursday in Kenya! Great conversation (he's from Charleston) and I wind up struggling over words that I normally know from my many visits down there. But it's so helpful when he worked with me to try and remember the words which I do tend to stress revivals of normally good memories! LOL. But the "hard work" conversations are so easy. It's the "easy fun with visits and history" where I've struggled due to the removals. But it IS improving. And thanks to all of you!! Guess that I'm too casual a reader and don't really follow the comments thread. So, I honestly don't think I know who the troll is.
Seems to always be someone "special" on any site that amasses interested readers with shared interests. I never have been a big Dylan fan but just exudes with talent and intellect, for lack of a better description. Glad to hear that your recovery is coming along well. I'm good bit older than you and still very active but confess that the possibility of a stroke haunts me. Hearing is already miserable, eyes are beneficiaries of modern medical practice and I remain, otherwise, in pretty good shape for a "senior". Thanks for checking in with us. Keep us posted as things progress Bulldog. Sending lots of prayers and love from out in the Ohio country.
Remember too, doctors only "practice" medicine :-) so put that intellect to work questioning and learning as things go along. And raise your hand if you need something. You've got a lot of smart readers who might know something or someone who can help. My brother has a rare form of endocrine cancer and because of a friend of a friend of a friend --and a persistent beyond belief wife -- he finally got connected to the world's top doc on endocrine tumors at University of Chicago. You got to make those interwebs sing!! Godspeed sir!! God bless and help in your recovery. As a stroke survivor, I understand a small bit, but not all of course, of what challenges face you. Best wishes and best of luck from the Midwest!
Bulldog,
First, I need to thank Mrs. Mudbug for pointing me to this thread as I somehow missed it. Thank you for your contributions to the farm, especially WRT to the troll. But for now, my main concern is your health. I hope you’ll keep us informed of future developments. In the meantime, the Mrs. and I will be be praying for a good prognosis. Godspeed! |
