I ran into this video clip of Sylvester Stallone about there’s three types of people in your life that hit home and is so true. ❤️ 😍 💖 ❣️ 💕 💘 If you are like me, as time pass, you find out more about the bad side of people. Did you ever hear the saying, I rather buy a house with no neighbors. I don’t like people. I love animals. Indeed, this is a famous adage for people who love animals and those who like being alone or prefer a quiet life and not dealing with two-faced people. People can lie, cheat, steal, and be sneaky. Often, many people put their guard down by trusting a so-called friend to be let down and hurt. Hence, they do not want anyone to be fooled and get either scammed, betrayed emotionally, or emotionally hurt. Many people get betrayed, lied to, taken advantage of, used, or scammed by a so-called friend, family member, sibling, parent, co-worker, spouse, business partner, or employer. People can be sneaky and conniving. Married couples can turn on each other, lie, cheat, betray, and hurt. Those hurt multiple times do not want to interrupt their living conditions. It means you should have few friends or be in large crowds because they cause more harm than good. Animals do not know how to cheat, betray, lie, connive, scam, steal, or intentionally hurt. They give you unconditional love without expecting anything in return. Many people do not want to get hurt again and say this because they love animals more than anything else since these creatures are loyal and will never betray your trust or hurt your feelings. At the same time, humans can do so easily and bring problems that may affect one’s peace of mind. Here are some other versions of it:

• “I would rather have pets than friends.”
• “I’d rather live in the wilderness with my animals than in any city with people around.”
• “My animals are better company than most people I know.”

These sayings express what many individuals feel about preferring loyalty, companionship, and simplicity offered by creatures. People may choose to stay on their own without close neighbors within their vicinity, thus enjoying quietude plus the freedom of having pets undisturbed.

Does your dog keep checking on you? Here’s an informative video about why dogs keep on checking on you. First, dogs check on owners for protection. Second, older dogs will check on you because dog may have health issues such as early stage of dementia. Dogs can check on you because they want to play. Dogs can check on you because sense of security. Dogs can also check on you for reinforcement. Dogs can check on you due to routines. Dogs can check on you because of communication of events. Another reason for checking on you is love and bonding. Another reason to check on you because of curiosity.

From what I understand, average home prices in Los Angeles and Orange County California is $1.5 million. If a recent college graduate from University of California Los Angeles with a $80,000 a year salaried professional job and his fiance who is a registered nurse making $70,000 a year got married, can they qualify and get pre-approved for a mortgage to purchase an average 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom, one car garage house in either Los Angeles or Orange County, California? What will be a strategy for them to become first-time homebuyers. Are they priced out of the housing market? Do they need to rent? They each have a $800 per month car payment.

The Old Man and the Chair

Every month or so I visit my ailing uncle in a nursing home on Long Island. He is the last living sibling of my mother. Alfonso is 91 years old, his memory is intact, but his body is failing. Just ask the nurses about Zio, he a regular Don Juan. His greatest joy when I visit is to wheel him out on the patio for fresh air, we reminisce about our family which are long gone, he asks of my children, but can’t remember their names, all is good with Zio Alfonso, I was named after him, my name is Al.

Every time we take the fresh air I notice an old man sitting off by himself in a make shaft rocking chair. He sits under this canapé, well not exactly, it is an old canvas tarp riddled with holes, and stares directly at the sky. The wind blows and the canapé flaps, I would find this mostly annoying having the wind in my face. The old man sits an stares for hours with a look of serenity on his face. His face is weathered like that of a man who worked outdoors, his hands were large and strong, they are calloused. His neck is broad and leather wore from direct sun. He appears to be about 90, when I ask my uncle about him, my uncle turns and says in his broken English, “pay no attention to him, he is an old fool, just sits and stares, and one comes to visit him.” My uncle lacked social skills and always had an opinion on everything. However, I paid the old man no mind as suggested.

Month after month I visit my uncle and see the old man, finally I had to ask the old man why he sits and stares. One day after visiting my uncle, who was nearing the end of his life, I got the nerve to ask him. I asked, “ why do you sit there old man?” He answered, “ this is my life now as I am an old man with no family, I sit and remember the past.” “Do you have any children, I queried?” “No,” replied the old man, “never had any, I was away from home most of my life and never settled down,” I thought how awful for the old man, alone and old. The old man said,” I am most content sitting and staring at the sky, I lost most of my eye sight some years ago from diabetes.”

I was intrigued, “ what was your occupation?” “I was a sailor,” he answered. “My home is the sea.” He went on and added, “ I joined the Navy at 16, fought in WWII, been sailing ever since.” Wow, I thought to myself, this guy is a living history book. “I long for the sea, the salt air, the wind that caressing my face, the burning of the sun on my neck, and the singing of whales.” “When was the last time you sailed?” The old man let go with a hardy laugh, some what similar to an old pirate. “ Argh, ha, ha, ha, its been maybe thirty years since I’ve sailed a schooner.” Now I’m thinking, a schooner is a small two masted boat. “Now, I just sit and feel the wind and listen to the flapping of the canapé, reminds me of the sails.” I said good bye and promised him when I returned to visit my uncle I would stop by and say hello.

The next month’s visit was saddened by the passing of my beloved Zio Alfonso. He had lived a long wonderful life, I soon realized that he was the last of the Italian immigrants arriving at Ellis Island over eighty years ago. I sat on the patio where I would wheel my uncle, I sat and stared, looking through the old man in the chair. When suddenly, someone yelled, “ hey, kid, I’m sorry about your uncle, come sit with me a while.” The old man in the chair sensed I was near.

“Why, thank you sir, he was the last of the elders.”

My Zio had left an inheritance for me, nothing big, I was his only close relative. Ten thousand dollars and a note that read, “ do something good for someone, or do someone something good.” He spoke in Yogi Berra-isms.

Never making sense at first, but eventually there were words of wisdom. I sat with the old man for an hour where I would sit with my Zio, on the back patio of the nursing home. The old man and I sat for hours never saying a word. When he suddenly said, “ would you please come see me time to time?” How could I possibly say no, he was lonely and I was still mourning my Zio. I reposted, “Certainly, maybe not every month but I will come visit with you, is there anything you need?” The old man though for a moment and said, “just a visit now and then.”

A month went by and I didn’t visit, I was feeling guilty, so the next Saturday I drove to the nursing home it was at the end of Long Island, Montauk. “Do something good for someone,” my Zio’s words resonated in my head. I had to make one stop before I visited the old man. When I arrived he was happy to see me and said, “ thanks for coming, I feel my end is near, it hasn’t been a good weak for me.” I spoke to the nurse, he was depressed and lonely. I asked the nurse if he could travel, she responded, “ only short distances with an aide.” Would he be able to take a quick ride over to the Montauk pier?” The nurse said as long as she went along.

The three of us hopped into one of the nursing homes’s van with the nurse driving.” Where are we going?”she questioned me. “Just to the pier as I winked my eye.” The old man was thrilled to be out and about. We pulled up the pier and we walked to the end, the old man knew he was close to the ocean as he inhaled deeply and sighed. I had rented a schooner for the day,” do something good for someone.” Yogi again in my head. I wheeled him to the bow and sat him in a fishing chair. As we slowly pulled away from the pier I could see the joy on his face. He finally had the wind in his sails, the sun on his neck and the seagulls were serenading him with the flapping of the sails. He quietly cried tears of joy.

When the sailing trip was done he thanked me for the wonderful memory and I promised to visit next month. The next month’s visit was my last, the old man passed away. The nursing staff said they had never seen him so happy during the last month. Before his cremation was scheduled I called the State Department to let them know of his passing. They said the Navy will depose of the his body. Three days later the United States Navy showed up with an entire fleet of sailors. He had been one of the last survivors of the USS Arizona in Pearl Harbor.

The old man in the chair was given a full naval funeral with a burial at sea in Pearl Harbor, where he now rests with his shipmates.

What type of down payment assistance mortgage programs are available in California.

The state of California economy is on the verge of crash and burning 🔥. California Governor Gavin Newsom is one of the most incompetent next to Kamala Harris politicians in the WORLD 🌎. Newsom increased the minimum wage to $20 dollars per hour for fast food workers. Restaurant owners had to increase menu prices by 8% due to the labor laws of California. Next week, Gavin Newsom set up a secret council that will be voting on another 3% increase on wages on top of the $20 dollar an hour for fast food workers. Gavin Newsom’s bright idea backfired on the incompetent Governor because thousands of restaurant owners fired tens of thousands of fast food works. Thousands of restaurants also laid off workers and replaced them with robots and technology. Thousands of restaurants also went out of business or had to file bankruptcy. California’s ridiculous strict environmental and red tape in zoning and building codes is steering home builders and developers from building new homes. This is creating a shortage of homes and skyrocketing home prices making homes unaffordable. California is losing tens of thousands of residents and businesses Fleeing the state.

Population numbers in cities with high property taxes are decreasing. The populations of cities with high property taxes are dropping rapidly, as scores of homeowners are shifting to other cities where property taxes are lower. This is a key issue which needs to be recognized because it shows us important facts about our communities and housing markets. This phenomenon is happening in different parts of the United States too. Here’s an overview:

Tax Migration: The movement from high-tax areas to low-tax ones is often referred to as “tax migration” or “tax flight.”

Property Taxes: High property taxes act as one major driver for this trend; however, they usually come within the context of a wider high-tax environment encompassing income and sales tax.

Major Examples:

New York has had many people leave them recently due their state’s high taxation policy; Illinois (especially Chicago) has seen similar numbers go away over time because theirs are just too expensive; California also experiences significant outflows annually from those who can no longer afford living there.

On the other hand, states such as Florida or Texas which do not levy individual income taxes at all attract lots newcomers looking seek refuge away From these burdens; Tennessee falls into this category too

Scope: Each year tens-of-thousands leave large metropolitan regions alone – much less smaller ones like Buffalo NY or Cleveland OH – altogether accounting for millions across America each decade!

Implications For Cities: There could be urban decline if people keep leaving cities with higher taxes. City governments may earn less money and struggle with budgets.

Remote Work: With COVID-19 forcing companies into allowing employees work remotely full-time, more working individuals have been given an opportunity never before possible – move without switching jobs!

Cost Of Living Among Other Factors: Taxes definitely drive some moves but things such as cost living differences job availability climates etc also make up part or all motivation behind migration patterns

Political Representation & More: Political power will shift when enough people move out; economies will change too origin places get new businesses destination areas see theirs decline; housing markets could crash in former hotspots while booming elsewhere…

Policy Solutions: Some higher taxed areas are considering implementing new policies that will help them keep residents from leaving. They may reduce taxes or provide other incentives.

Complexity: Causes and effects of this trend can be complex and vary by region, but it is happening!

This shift in where people live is changing who represents them and how their cities are run. It could alter housing markets forever as well… There may be long-term implications for political representation, local economies, and housing markets in origination & destination cities alike.. That being said take into account each specific situation because what’s true here might not hold water elsewhere

Americans are perplexed when they hear the mainstream media network and politicians announce the economy is doing great and we just had a soft landing. Joe Biden and his cronies such as Jerome Powell, Janet Yellen, Joe Scarborough, Jim Cramer, Chuck Todd, and other Democrats and far left liberals say What Inflation? The Economy is doing GREAT. Look at the stock market how high it is under the Biden Administration. We just had a soft landing. Look at the unemployment numbers and how low it is. All of these clowns are just big fat liars. You don’t need fake economic data and numbers. Unemployment numbers is not 3%. Inflation numbers is not 3%. Go to your nearest grocery store and look at the cost of groceries. Go get your cat repaired and see how much it costs. Go to McDonald’s and see how much a burger, fries, and soda is ($25 dollars easy). How much does it cost to feed a family of four? How much does it cost to care for your dog or dogs? How much does it cost to buy a car? Whether you like it or not, Americans need to face reality and face the facts they are being lied to by Joe Biden and the far left liberals. The dollar is not backed by any hard assets. The Federal Reserve Board is a money printing machine controlled by the Deep State, The Rothschild Family, George Soros, and the Globalists. How can career politicians like Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, and hundreds of politicians become multimillionaires without a real job or family inheritance. Impossible. Politicians and the deep state are stealing, lying, and printing money. They are not playing by the rules. Americans need to wake up and speak up. Americans need to voice their opinions and concerns. There’s no way we should have a commander in Chief of the United States of America who has stage six of dementia and has the nuclear code. Dementia Lying Cheating Joe Biden is a major liability for our country and is infested with corruption. We need to clean house. Expect a major stock market crash in the coming days, weeks, months. Expect a major real estate crash in the coming short term. The stock market and housing markets will plummet 50% to 90% or more. Expect a financial crisis worse than the 2008 real estate and financial meltdown. We should be ready for this correction so in two to three years we will have everything fixed under the leadership of President Donald Trump. The Federal Reserve Board will be destroyed and we will have a new monetary system backed by silver and Gold. We need to get Dementia Joe Biden and his cronies out of the White House and stop power hunger Jill Biden running the Executive Branch.

What does DEFUNDING the POLICE exactly mean? Why is Kamala Harris such a huge proponent and supporter of DEFUNDING THE POLICE. Why did Kamala Harris aggressively support the DEFUNDING THE POLICE movement after the George Floyd killing by Minneapolis POLICE. Why was Kamala Harris the biggest supporter of DEFUNDING THE LOS ANGELES POLICE DEPARTMENT by Los Angeles Mayor Garcetti. Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti proposed of cutting the Los Angeles Police DEPARTMENT budget by $150 million dollars and Kamala Harris, at the time the United States Senator from California was Eric Garcetti’s biggest supporter. We don’t need a Presidential candidate who is anti-law enforcement and who doesn’t care about fighting crime. Kamala Harris is a joke. An international disgrace who is a disgusting example of a human being.

There are life prolonging benefits of eating black garlic on an empty stomach. This is no witch craft or some bullshit but the REAL DEAL. Eating black garlic when you are hungry can be healthy since it has a lot of nutrients and active ingredients that support life—antioxidant features of normal garlic change when it is fermented to become black garlic. Besides, the taste also changes from hot and spicy to sweet and mild flavors. Here are some of how consuming black garlic on an empty stomach may benefit your health:

More Powerful Antioxidants

High Antioxidant Concentration: The fermentation process increases the antioxidants in black garlic. These substances help fight oxidative stress and lower the risk of chronic diseases.

Protection Against Free Radicals: Free radicals which might cause cell destruction leading to aging or different illnesses are neutralized by antioxidants.

Better Digestive System Functioning

Boosts Healthy Digestion: When taken before meals, black garlic can stimulate digestive enzyme secretion, thereby promoting proper gastrointestinal tract functioning.

Acting As A Natural Prebiotic: Black garlic contains prebiotic fibers that nourish the good bacteria in our guts, aiding digestion and improving general gut health.

Increased Immune System Response

Strengthens Immunity: Blackened cloves have immunity-enhancing properties that enable them to protect organs from infections.

Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Compounds with anti-inflammatory effects present in this type of fermented product can alleviate inflammations associated with certain chronic conditions, such as arthritis.

Heart-Friendly

Promotes Cardiovascular Wellness: Among its many functions, black cloves lower blood pressure levels and lessen cholesterol content within vessel walls, thus improving circulation around these parts, which leads to better overall cardiac health status. Therefore, adding black cloves to one’s diet would contribute towards achieving such goals.

Prevents Atherosclerosis: Plaque buildup prevention along arteries is made possible by the antioxidants contained in it, which reduce the chances of developing atherosclerotic plaques that could block blood flow supplying various body organs, like heart muscles, among others.

Anti-Cancer Effects

Possible Anti-Cancer Properties: Some research studies have proposed that blackened bulbs may possess anti-cancer properties due to the high amounts of sulfur compounds and antioxidants present.

Sugar Levels Regulation

Regulates Blood Glucose: Blackened garlic can help control sugar levels for individuals diagnosed with diabetes or at risk of developing the disease.

Detoxification Processes

Supports Liver Detoxification: This happens when toxic substances are metabolized within liver cells, leading to their subsequent elimination from the body’s system.

Weight Control Management

Facilitates Fat Burning: These cloves can enhance metabolism and reduce fat deposit accumulation, thus supporting an individual’s weight control measures.

Skin Care Improvement

Enhances Complexion Condition: The antioxidant activity and anti-inflammatory characteristics displayed by aged clove extracts might contribute to healthier-looking skin free from blemishes like acne scars, etcetera.

Wellbeing Promotion

Raises Energy Levels: Try eating roasted pieces when feeling weak or tired. They contain certain components known for increasing energy production levels in humans.

Improves Mood State: Its chemical compounds could act on brain receptors responsible for mood regulation, enhancing feelings such as happiness or pleasure and fostering overall emotional wellness.

How Do You Eat Black Garlic?

To derive maximum benefits, eat one or two bulbs after they have been peeled early in the morning before breakfast. This allows more nutrient absorption into the body while also maximizing its healthy effects on you.

In Conclusion…

Adding black cloves to your diet, especially when hungry, comes with numerous health advantages. They contain plenty of antioxidants, boost immunity, aid digestion, promote heart wellness, and improve general body functioning, making them worth considering as part of a healthy lifestyle.
