Greece seems safe @wizer

Does it get mosquitoes like most of Canada? lol

Actually where I live in Vancouver, we don't have them cuz we're next to the ocean.

But 99% of Canada is covered in snow 'n ice....and Mosquitoes for much of the year.
He wouldn’t know he’s online escaping wonderful Greece LOL

I read that if you discuss someone enough, it means they are deeply important and stimulating and moving to the very souls of the ones discussing them.

Im sure that only applies to other people :D

Why are you such a pussy, Senile @Joe?

I have heard to talk about mosquitos a bunch of times.

Maybe take a shower and they will leave you alone, you smelly sack of shit.
There does seem to be an excessive mosquito concern with this person.

They cause itchy annoying bites and occasional lack of sleep with the buzzing but that's about as bad as it gets.

@Joe just to be on the safe side get all your vaccinations before you visit Greece. There's no immediate medical care in our area.

That's because the discussion involves concepts you fail to understand. Not your fault, it's an IQ thing. Blame your parents.
No, it's because you were talking about eye tests and other uninteresting things. Get a grip

Wizer doesn't care about his good friends, that's pretty sad, what a stab to the heart :(

I wanted to double back to this comment because it brings up a valid point.

I've been disappointed by most people I've called "friends" in my 60+ years of existence. It seems that because I'm a handy guy and I can fix and build just about everything, and I'm willing to help anyone out, that they ultimately see me as some sort of worker rather than a friend, and that's probably my fault as much as theirs. Most people are ultimately in it for what they can get out of it and that's true as far as friendships, relationships etc. Even women I've been married to and been in long term relationships with.

There are a few exceptions to the rule and I do have a couple of friends who don't meet that particular criterion, and my current wife also does not take advantage of me and never has. But that doesn't change my overall lack of trust in most people in general, nothing ever will change my opinion that until they show themselves to be otherwise, they're looking out for number 1 and if it's at my expense they won't give a second thought to throwing me under the nearest bus.

I once got suckered into baking for a whole event.

I love cooking and baking. And people I know love that I love cooking and baking. And a sort of friend had asked me if I would do cupcakes for a "small" party she was having.

This turned into 200 cupcakes and a few dozen cookies. It was some sort of baby shower that involved the men coming and children coming and of course, she couldn't pay me. I did 100 chocolate raspberry and 100 pistachio. All filled. They were so good. I baked and decorated all the cookies.

I did realize that I would never want to do that regularly as a job. Maybe once or twice a year.....but id quickly start hating it if that was my actual job.

Also when I was in after care for two years for recovery, I was one of the only people with a valid DL and a car. So guess who everyone asked for rides? I also "mentored" 5 people and I'm never ever doing THAT again. They treated me like a recovery tool.....not a person to learn from.

That sounds about right. Instead of gratitude when you finally say no more they act like you don't have the right to just stop and now what are they supposed to do?

Right. And I really dont get how entitled people can be with absolutely ZERO shame. One of those people i agreed to drive around was a very young woman...probably 23. She had a rough go in life. She was on her own trying to build a life post addiction. I felt for the girl because she really had no one. Piece of shit mom and a dad she never met. Siblings all fucked up. I FELT for her.

And she found some job and couldn't get there and asked me if id help her. I was about 7 months pregnant and I just taken leave of my own job. I had a high risk pregnancy and I had kidney stones. I agreed to drive her in the mornings as long as she showed up in time because I was also driving my kids to school out of district. So I agreed to drive her

She was warned that if I end up in the hospital I won't be able to drive her and she agreed. Well one night I ended up in the hospital and was admitted. I tried getting ahold of the girl. Left a few messages and text messages and FB messenger messages. I stressed this shit. While i was hospitalized i was stressing THIS GIRL.

And wouldn't you know, this asshole was fucking mad about it. Didn't even ask if i was okay. Just immediately into how shes so screwed .....like....honey, you have GOT to take responsibility for yourself. People can HELP. But you cant throw that on other people who have their OWN lives.

I cant imagine depending fully on some pregnant woman who has kids and complications. But needless to say I never drove this ungrateful brat again.

I did it for free too. Never even asked the girl for gas money or anything. My oldest daughter hated her lol. I drove this woman for a few months and I was closing in on my induction date so its on her for not finding another way.

The sense of entitlement is almost shocking.

Any initial gratitude becomes expectation and when those expectations aren't met here comes the backlash. "What have you done for me lately".

I have a neighbor here in Greece like that. He's used up his favor quota. I almost can't wait until the next time he asks me for something.

Im always ending up with my account restricted lol.

It's gotten better though.
I assume being conservative leaning you're always posting "MISINFORMATION!" according to the woke joke.

In someone's repost about how horrible children act, I commented something about in the old days kids just got beat. For laughs. Facebook deleted my post and reprimanded me. LOL Fuck the Zuck! No sense of humor having meta data collecting dicksuckers. The lot of 'em.

We have awesome neighbors. Older couple who has lived next door for decades and they give me all kinds of landscaping advice and home improvement tips and they know what contractors are good. The man came over and helped my daughter use the grill, he brings fancy cigars to my man and they have a drink on occasion and I take them cookies I bake.

We have great neighborly relationship. The funny part is the man and my mans dad fucking HATED eachother. All because the neighbor cuts a wood and started storing it on the property line, so yes it IS technically on our property. They had an old man fued going for years over this and now we are buddies.

He let's us help ourselves to the wood when we have fires so its no big deal at all. My mans dad was emotional and ornery lol.

We do have a guy across the street who is always screaming at his wife and cussing her out. He is a real asshole. But they stay over there thankfully.

We have almost no neighbors. The entire community is deserted off season except for a handful of full time residents most of whom speak only Greek. During the high season tourists and vacation homeowners start rolling into town for the occasional holiday of a weekend or longer but we don't have much to do with most of them.

Works for me. I've talked to enough neighbors over the past 63.5 years.
