Credit Card App Rant in 2 Parts
These are the exact same transactions, both posted and pending. It's the same amount from the same businesses. They became "Pending" on the day of purchase, and Posted the next day (thus the 1 day date difference - below is the date it Posted. So why in the HELL on the 12th are they still showing Pending? WTF is with this? I've said it 100 times and I'll say it again, this is the WORST card company in Canada. Now lets go on about this BLOODY APP! They make you install it, and shut down the nice easy to use web page I WANT TO USE. See on the web page, if I need to I can screencap my bloody phone and have a copy for reference to mark and send them. BUT on the app, the "security" won't let you screencap it at all. There is no way in hell to do it, other than install a dodgy AF APK from some web page. No way in the permission setting to make this fuck off and allow me to do what I want to do with my own fucking phone on an app I should have fucking contr...
The Travelers - People Who Chose Not To Own A Home
The following is in response to another person: We have people to are called travelers. They tend to not have a home, and just wonder on foot, hopping trains, or in vans. They move from place to place, sometimes for many years. They do some work here and there is needed, but the mostly beg and play songs and fire dance and shit for money. I've met many of the over the years. I was almost arrested when I went after a fucking cop for taking the dog of a couple doing this. The dog was loved and cared for, this was a bullshit move to say the least. I was literally on the edge of being hulled off I mad such a fuss. They called in a second car because other people in the park where starting to say shit, but I was in their bloody faces. And yes there are people here that do choose to be homeless and they are not mentally infirmed, some of them are intelligent. Some of them will do something to go to prison for a few months in the winter to keep warm.
A Brief History of Whiskey in the Jar
Whiskey in the Jar was not first sung by and very much not written by Metallica. It has a very long history going back to the 1700s where it was written as part of an opera called the beggar's Opera by John Gray. It is based on a folk story about a man named Patrick Fleming, who was executed in 1650. There was a dark ballad written in Patrick's name at the time that is said to have inspired John Gray. There was an earlier version that was said to have been heard by Gray, and he only rewrote it for his opera, “Beggar's Opera.” The song moved to America in the colonial period and became a favorite in the pubs as an irreverent send-up toward the British Authority. A more modern form showed up in the 1850s called the sporting hero, or Whiskey in the Jar. The song spread back to Ireland at this time and was popularized by folk singers at the time. The song was written down by a collector of folk songs named Coln ó Lochlainn. He heard his mother singing the song. The dong first b...
My Instagram Is Doing Well Enough
Instagram seems to be doing well enough these days. Being I've never tried to get a tone of view, and just post what gives me fun to post. Some people don't like some things, but you can't please everyone. Most people are very positive with comments as well.
