Isn't he the guy who was living in Asia somewhere? Or am I thinking of someone else? He and his wife were going to movie to Wisconsin.
I think he lived in Hong Kong. They had property in Michigan. He was a chef if I remember right. He posted from michigan a couple times, don't remember if he was on vacation or the exact circumstance.
But they should have relocated by now according to his posts. Maybe covid and china messed up all their plans.

I thought it was Hong Kong. It would be a great time to NOT be living in Hong Kong. But, IMHO, there would never be a good time to live there.
Come back Guardian!!

I'm around, Miss @Pearl hey good to put a face with your name. I'm not so brave.
Don't have as much time as I used to for being here. Thanks for checking on me!
I think "Hardcalibres" has bugged'out to the hither'boonies.
Hardcalibres logged in 2 days ago. I've seen him logged in a couple times recently.
Do you know something we don't?

..Given his Mil-background / connections, the more Apt question is 'What might HC know that we don't... Yet..'
Missing Aerindel's thought-provoking 'counterpunches', as well..
Indeed, 'The pendulum must swing Both ways before it is brought to rest in the Middle'... jd
Aerindel got a bit heavy on some of the things people were saying about Alec..Given his Mil-background / connections, the more Apt question is 'What might HC know that we don't... Yet..'

Baldwin, they were just expressing their opinions, no one was being offensive and I saw no reason to be heavy handed and as things are turning out, Baldwin may end up with some law suites against him, anyway, what was said doesn't seem to far off the mark.
Funny you mention the pendulum. I say that (or a variation of it) on occasion. I've been saying for a few years, we've gone way past center and are hitting the tilt alarm...Given his Mil-background / connections, the more Apt question is 'What might HC know that we don't... Yet..'

Speaking of pendulum reminds me of the 1961 movie "The Pit and the Pendulum".

Aerindel, oh my, I knew someone was missing!! Didn't always agree, but liked the opinion!!..Given his Mil-background / connections, the more Apt question is 'What might HC know that we don't... Yet..'

Perhaps, I can understand that perspective, but.. We're all Survivalists, here, aren't We?

The Overton Window...another name for that pendulum.
Angie, thank you for the concern.
Pearl, thank you as well.
Amish, to you as well I say thanks.
Justin seems to have disappeared after his complaints about where he was and where he was moving to. I hope he is well. Thanks for the thoughts Bacpacker.
Havasu, thanks for the conversation and discussion in our emails. You know my thoughts on the matter.
LadyLocust, thank you to you as well.
Onward to the crux of the matter. Watching and conversing here got to a point that I had to step back and take a break. I have been reading the forums to some extent but only as a visitor and with that some areas I could not read nor respond to. Having said that I simply could no longer post in a fashion that I deemed appropriate. I have very strong beliefs and I am more than willing to give others the same latitude as we all often take things in a different context. I have seen it in recent days where a couple team up to discredit or vilify or call out different beliefs and it pains me to see that. I was starting to become that person and I will not.
Not to go political but bear with me briefly. I could give a rats behind what party you belong to. What I DO care about is the country I live in. The one soldiers have fought and died for. The families that sacrificed so much to defend our way of life. Those that are on the "front lines" that get zero respect. This could become a list in itself and that is not the point. There are so many things in play right now in my opinion. The destruction of our country by both foreign and domestic.
Anyway, while silent, I have never left and doubt I ever will. I'm not sure what posts I will make for now as I am taking in whatever information I can and processing it for awhile before responding.
Thank you all. Anyway its nice to be welcome here. Enough of my rambling for now. You might regret that...

There are topics that I cannot engage in and often there are threads that I do not even read. We have to do what works for us. I have a friend whose political opinions have driven her away from being invited to family gatherings. Just because we have an opinion, doesn't mean we have to talk about it at every gathering we go to.Angie, thank you for the concern.

Good to see you buddy. What you are experiencing is something we are all dealing with. The older I get, the stronger I need to bite my tongue. Regardless, glad to know you are okay, and our little conversation behind the scenes was great!
Great to see you around.
I too have to stay away from some things. Or let my mouth overload my butt and have to apologize later. Lol

I strive to not be thin skinned, but it bothers me when someone gets unduly hammered. I was bullied most of my school years but as it turns out, most of those bullies died young and a number were killed in accidents, to which I feel sorry for them, probably never had an enjoyable life.Perhaps, I can understand that perspective, but.. We're all Survivalists, here, aren't We?

I recently learned not to engage with some that have to go beyond giving their opinion. I like to hear everyone's side, nicely!!
