Blocked! · 6:28am April 8th

Extremeenigma02 has blocked me from posting on any of his stories & banned me from PM ING him to ask why.

Damned if I can guess. Most offensive thing I posted on any of his stories was a list of some typos & a suggestion that he get a proofreader from The Proofreader Group

Supposedly, Hearth's Warming = Christmas.
No it does NOT!
Christmas is supposed to be about the birth of Jesus. Watch A Charlie Brown Christmas if you don't know that.

Per the S2 E11 episode, Hearth's Warming Eve, it is about the tribes coming together to drive off the Wendigos and found a nation which (I suppose) eventually became Equestria.

Military Service · 5:34am Oct 31st, 2023

Elvis Presley was in the military in the 1950s John Wayne (famous for playing military roles & cowboys) was A3 (sole financial support of his family) & never served.

Rudyard Kipling also never served (Wrote a LOT of military stories). Bad eyes + too old & married for WW1.

Hemingway drove an ambulance in WW1 + was in Spain during the Fascist conquest.

Ronald Reagan did enlist in the Airforce despite being too near sighted to qualify.

Stuff Learned Along The Way · 7:29am Oct 25th, 2023

Arnold Shwartzeneggger almost turned down the role of The Terminator (arguably his most famous role) because the part had only 23 lines in the whole movie.

Abraham Lincoln was a famous wrestler in his youth. He had only 1 loss in about 300 matches.

One of the pioneers of Sci-fi was E E "Doc" Smith (1890-1965). He was one of the VERY few people who created New Ideas during H G Wells' lifetime.

Different Takes On Equestria · 12:23am Oct 4th, 2023

Best of most different views of Equestria.
Petriculture Cycle
Petriculture & sequels by Kwakerjak
Pinkie is Twilight's imaginary friend. Discord is Celestia's imaginary friend.

The Maretian by Chris Overstreet
A sequel to Changeling Space Program.
The storm that stranded Mark Whatney on Mars was caused by the arrival of an Equestrian space craft.
Very helpful but not 100% necessary to have read Changeling SpaceProgram.

Advice · 1:10am Sep 16th, 2023

Saw this on an episode of Blue Bloods
"If you could send a 3 word message back in time to yourself what would it be -and when would you send it to?". :rainbowhuh:

Me, I'd go with "get accounting degree" sent back to the summer before my freshman year at college.

Stuff Learned On The Internet · 9:24am Aug 10th, 2023

If you take any prime number >3, square it, and subtract 1 from the result, the resulting number will be divisible by 24.

The Earth has a small second moon (apparently a captured asteroid) with a REALLY weird orbit. It will eventually crash.

Ghenghis Khan (& his armies) killed about 10% of the population of Asia during his rule.

Photos (Mars' inner moon) is due to break up in the not to distant future. Space probes have already seen stretch marks on it.

Random Thoughts · 8:50am Aug 1st, 2023

My 7 year old LCD TV is dying :fluttercry:

They're only supposed to last 5 years but the internet mentioned "50,000 hours" & that's about 20 hours a day, 7 days a week & I don't watch near that much TV so I thought it would last longer. I can't get a new one until I get my SS check for August so I've been watching the -ING internet & some of what I saw inspired thought.

NAFTA.
Saw an extract of a 2016 Trump/Hilary debate & he mentioned NAFTA (North America Free Trade Agreement).
