Flynn's Paws: My Thoughts, My Gripes

Describing my immediate surroundings towards the beginning and a twist to the tale or possible solutions to issues towards the end of some blogs and how they relate to my expectations of the world at large.

  • 20100526-Still Waiting

    I’m still waiting for faith because they are honorable. Although my rants are a personal slap on my own face, it’s the only way to keep sane. I know you are reading my blogs. Just do the right thing so that karma will reflect whatever goodness you could contribute to the universal database of consciousness.

    All I ask is forgiveness for sending my `bad thoughts` here and there. All I ask are prayers to right the wrong or at least provide the balance and guidance necessary to bear the crap along the way.

    So it stands that the head hunter has not yet called moi. It’s because, according to the interviewer, that the job is basic and that I’m seasoned. Could that be age discrimination? I guess the job could be boring and the pay rate is not that good.

    But I needed (only God knows why not) something to keep busy and to earn a few bucks out of my own blood, sweat and tears would feel more or less rewarding than blogging all day.

    Don’t forget me, alright? You have my number and so does TPTB. Yup.

  • 20100526-No Privacy

    After watching a YouTube.com by Jerry Day, the government is supposed to be a public servant. We citizens have the right to privacy. When we want something from the government, they are supposed to disclose without us submitting our personal data. But what happened when I learn the truth? I’ll end up going public! It’s because the government works to protect its privacy by extracting wealth from private citizens instead of distributing benefits.

    I know. I called. I stuck my name on their list both in the government sector and soon the public sector. There is no privacy for citizens enslaved by a system governed by unknown entities that seek to protect its own interests. To the FEDs, no, it’s not a little bit frustrating, what you are doing is evil. You were supposed to protect us and me. Instead you continue to hurt us all. I hate you all.

  • 20100525-Widespread Outages

    While browsing Yahoo! News, I came across the following article as to why our friggin’ phone line didn’t work this morning:

    Widespread outage for AT&T’s digital phone lines
    By PETER SVENSSON, AP Technology Writer Peter Svensson, Ap Technology Writer – Tue May 25, 4:48 pm ET

    NEW YORK – AT&T’s new digital home phone service failed across the country Tuesday, illustrating continuing reliability issues with Internet-based phone service.

    Customers of AT&T Inc.’s U-Verse Voice said their landline phones have had no dial tones since the morning. Reached by cell phone, the customers said those who call them get a message that the line has been disconnected. Support personnel are telling customers that a server crash brought down U-Verse Voice in AT&T’s entire 22-state local-phone service area.

    AT&T spokeswoman Mari Melguizo said the outage started at about 10:30 a.m., and service was restored to most subscribers at 2:45 p.m. She said the extent the outage was unknown.

    As mentioned in one of my previous blog entries, an young Asian man was knocking from door to door. At that time, he was a sales representative for AT&T. He was looking for moi! But for whatever reason, I knew better and referred the conversation with Paw by my side because he is the homeowner and primary account holder of the land lines. So you damn Homeland Security spooks better back off, now!

    Now, this went on for about a couple of hours with him stepping indoors, which he is not supposed to do. He explained the features and benefits of reducing long distance calls with digital phones and faster internet service by switching to AT&T U-verse. Their fiber optic cables were better than the copper wires by Comcast, by the way and that convinced me.

    But in order to set up the product, a credit check had to be run and that meant Paw giving out his personal details over the phone. I knew this AT&T, being so popular as it is, has something to do with privacy issues and perhaps Obama and pals snooping around for more data than necessary. The spook gave coded messages to this contact via his cellphone and said something along the line of `happy`. He turned and asked if I was happy.

    So you see people, anytime you WANT something from the system, you will be SLAVES to their technology. You will have no cable for viewing television, no phone for calling in case of emergency, no internet for reading articles online and basically, left with talking to real people. And by not paying electricity to run these digital gadgets, there is no other way to communicate with the outside world. Scary.

  • 20100525-Towers Collaspe

    I know about the collapse of the World Trade Center (WTC) towers on the fateful day of September 11, 2001. As mentioned in one of my many blog entries, I heard over a cellphone conversation that:

    `They deserve it.`

    ~A speculator.

    I do not know what that meant or if that statement (said twice) had anything of value or weight at that time. All I know is by going with my intuitive, gut feelings: The financial system had to be sacrificed. A bunch of people were waiting for nothing.

  • 20100525-Oil Gangs

    Boys! Boys! Clean up your mess, now! Mother Nature is not pleased. Create a stent so she won’t bleed to death.

    I’ve read about Kevin Coster, the Hollywood actor, and a `high-speed centrifuge machine, called the “Ocean Therapy”`.

    I know about Halliburton, Dick Cheney, George W Bush, Obasanjo and pals, including Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Libya and pals.

    Have you not been reading my blogs for the past few years? All I have are news articles and my gut feelings to go by.

  • 20100525-Anti Capitalist

    Cancer in the body is not good. Cancer medicine is supposed to help but hurts. That’s how I see Obama and pals: They are cancer medicines. Whatever the cancer may happen to represent, TPTB are administering something bitter to swallow: The truth that liberty is not easily taken or freely given. The sweet tooth may as well be the welfare recipients, yes, that includes those who depend on the government for benefits, such as unemployment, disability, food stamps, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, etc.

  • 20100525-Rainy Day

    Currently, the rain is pouring. Earlier this morning, there were lots of fluffy, puffy clouds of gray. Horizontal clouds of poof were in the distance over Mt. Hamilton. We were en route from dropping off a refill request at a doctor’s office and then the DeCA at Moffett Field, CA. We ordered $8.50 BBQ chicken from the old wife with lots of make-up. The old Vietnamese guy kept talking money with my Paw.

  • 20100525-Opt Out

    From the main phone line of the homeowner, I just called the `PRESCREEN & OPT-OUT NOTICE` at toll-free, 1-888-567-8688. The computer voice said there is no customer representative for this call. It mentioned the following website address at:

    OptOutPrescreen.com .

    Through this website, you may request to:

    • Opt-Out from receiving Firm Offers for Five Years – (electronically through this website).
    • Opt-Out from receiving Firm Offers permanently – (mail Permanent Opt-Out Election form available through this website).
    • Opt-In and be eligible to receive Firm Offers. This option is for consumers who have previously completed an Opt-Out request – (electronically through this website).

    I clicked the blue-colored button located at the bottom:

    `Click Here to Opt-In or Opt-Out`.

    Then a new page appeared:

    Opt-In or Opt-Out.

    It showed that one needs to provide the following information:

    • Name
    • Address
    • Social Security Number
    • Date of Birth

    WTF would someone need to provide the Social Security Number and Date of Birth when all that was needed was the name and address only???

    Now, the purpose was to:

    • remove our mailing address for someone who no longer lives at this address.
    • let us know when our request to reduce paper mail has been processed.

    So, I called the credit card company that sent the information to this address and got the usual voice prompt to enter but got a customer service representative who transferred me to his supervisor at the FRAUD DEPARTMENT.

    I asked for the operator ID or at least the first and last name of this supervisor but she couldn’t and hung up. The computer voice prompt apologized instead.

    This was a Pre-Approved offer for the Slate card from Chase.

    To Obama and pals: Where are these people getting the data that is supposed to be updated long ago? Can’t you see this is invasion of privacy by providing data meant for someone else who no longer lives at this address? The contact numbers of Chase for this type of simple request doesn’t help either!

  • 20100525-Get Out

    Get out of using credit card now! The other day we received a credit offer. The person no longer resides at the address. Here is the notice at the bottom:

    `You can choose to stop receiving “prescreened” offers of credit from this and other companies by calling toll-free 1-888-567-8688. See PRESCREEN & OPT-OUT NOTICE in the accompanying Terms & Conditions for more information about prescreened offers.`

    I went to the `Manage Features` of the Primary Account Holder’s account and found a `System Alert` in red color. Here is the message:

    `We are currently experiencing technical difficulties, please try again later. (code 103)`

    I tried THREE TIMES to call the 1-888-567-8688 number from the main land line but the phone number just hangs up with a couple of loud clicks and then a busy signal and then silence.

    I tried once through a second phone line and got through. But that one didn’t recognize the pronunciation and spelling of the last name. It then proceeded to ask for the SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER!

    WTF is  going on? And why can’t that stupid bank update its record? Are they stupid? Is that why they keep calling? I wonder if the FTC can protect us? You know what? I tried and a legal help said the FTC can’t! See that?

    STOP USING CREDIT CARDS!

  • 20100524-No Constitution

    While watching Greta on FoxNews this evening, I heard the Attorney General for the State of Virginia. His state is suing the federal government on the health care bill, which is unconstitutional. But Obama and pals are filing to have a judge dismiss the case. If that happens, then the case will go to the Supreme Court. If the Supreme Court does not find the health care bill unconstitutional, there you go folks!

    That’s the end of the U.S. Constitution because it’s just a piece of paper. The founding fathers created something of value long ago what their descendants will destroy something meaningless today. And so it is: people are pretty much slaves and freedom went out the window when the Demoncrats continue to progress the country into my a more socialistic, if not dictatorial regime.

  • 20100524-Bloody Red

    Well, I’ve changed the WordPress.com theme again. This time it’s back to black and all that:

    Black-LetterHead by Ulysses Ronquillo

    Black Letterhead is a two-column minimalistic theme with a black background, customizable header and widget sidebar.

    It’s dark and red: The feel of this weblog is made VERY creepy by a gradient header of exactly 760 by 200 pixels that I’ve created via the Gradient maker site:

    The color of this image blends well with the original theme designer’s color scheme.

  • 20100524-Head Banging

    The words `head banging` remind me of people with long hair rocking to heavy metal music. That’s so old school. But when I hear loud noise coming from television and radio, I feel my head pulsating as if I the subliminal messages of chaotic words are banging into my head. I cannot listen and just tune out by talking to my parakeets.

    Turn off your televisions and radios! Pick up the newspaper and READ the fine prints too. Browse the web and do research online. Talk to real people, educators, scientist, etc. You will be surprised how much interpretations of world wide events exist. Listen to the stories of war veterans and of your grand parents and how they worked their farms. Hear the cries of real people living out there in the streets.

    Learn from real people, not the high-paid talking heads you see on television or hear on radio. These people are already WEALTHY. They think they can say what they want and whenever they want. Do you know what? They still need to pass their materials through their lawyers. They still need to do as they are told by their bosses. They still have to comply with FCC regulations. They are not free to speak, really. There is still censorship and that is not complete freedom.

    There is wealth of information from doing gardening and chores: Try and see if everyone really needs electricity to be truly free and happy.
