The General Musings of Falkie2013 (George Senda, The Guy From Pittsburgh)

[Yorkshire pud]

Falkie said he didn't know how to cook.

Anything? Not even make coffee? Boil an egg? If that's for real he has no purpose on this planet.

[Yorkshire pud]

You've never had a beloved pet if you can say that

I've had five dogs in my life; I've also lost beloved people. Take a punt at which caused anguish and which just upset me a bit?

[3OctaveFart]

Onan-
I guess bashing a lazy, mentally deficient radio host until he's paste is what passes for fun, then.
Or telling Art he pisses excellence in Roy G. Biv, day after day.
Fun is relative on a board.
I use BellGab to plow through a work shift.
Call me selfish.

[PathoJen]

Anything? Not even make coffee? Boil an egg? If that's for real he has no purpose on this planet.

He said he makes spaghetti. I think that's it.
And if how well you cook or how many meals you've got in your internal recipe box is directly correlated to your value as a human being then heaven help an awful lot of people.

I can make exceptions for Falkie. Others might get a pass subject to interview and short questionnaire.

[ACE of CLUBS]

1) Only 2 cats live in here and being a very cat friendly building they go outside a lot. Fluffy spends up to 18 hours a day outside. Fuzzy goes out too .All 3 cats
at but Fluffy keeps chasing them away

3) There are 2 cat boxes in the bathroom which I change once a week and air purifiers in each room including an industrial one next to my bed because I have allergies. I DO know what to do with cat litter. I've only had cats since 1977.

Fluffy and Fuzzy using the neighbors flower boxes/garden for their gastric relief ?
Spraying Gus and Edna's car tires and their grandchildren's playground equipment ?

[Falkie2013]

If you have funds in an IRA why are you asking for money on the internet?  Why are you on government assistance?

Total stock is under 25-50 shares. I think I have 12 shares of one, 8 of another, etc.
And as I have said numerous times ( and I am TIRED of explaining it to those who can't pay attention ) I'm on disability and cannot work because of injuries and medical problems. I should NOT have to keep repeating this over and over again.
IF I could accumulate enough money I could POSSIBLY make more in a year than I get from being disabled by doing Forex or selling options or day trading, but a Forex account requires a minimum of $25k to start. Of course pone can LOSE money too. I have the books but no money ( see below ). In the 1970s, in part from reading Financial World & watching Wall Street Week I made a fair amount in my Merrill Lynch Sharebuilder account but when Kathy moved in and racked up huge phone bills, I sold a lot of it because she would not pay the bills. Back then you could rack up $400 a month in long distance bills in no time. She used to call her girlfriends 30 miles away. LD was expensive when A T & T had a monopoly.
I bought GM at 30 at one time went to 90, Zurn Industries cheap, etc.
IF I'd stayed with it I wouldn't be as poor as I am today. Kathy's spending habits then were like throwing money into a black hole. She didn't start saving until we broke up for the first time after living with each other for 5 years. It's a long story but Kathy went to work because I demanded it and she still bitches about it. She would have ME pay all the bills & contributed nothing because she felt that " the man is supposed to pay for everything. " I paid the rent & PG & E but $ 400 a month phone bills, no way. I was not made of money. I once figured out if I would have put $ 50 a week in, I might have had $60k or so by now.
And I'm not blaming Kathy but she still has this " let him pay for everything attitude " as do a lot of women. I used to get furious over the phone bills. I once bought her an $ 8k engagement ring but she didn't want to get married, so I took it back.
If I could go back, I would have never stopped investing. I had San Diego Gas & Electric, Alama Power Pfrd, and Bank of America stock for years. I wasn't always poor. When she moved out in the 1970s during our first breakup, I was able to save $1,000 on my own in a year. not much but rent, food, utilities were cheap then & I had few expenses, no car & no credit cards. I subscribed to Barron's, the WSJ & Financial World for years. $100 a month for a studio apartment in downtown SF.
Kathy & I lived together 4 times.
Once she got a car I or her Father were always paying for repairs to it.
I was buying $ 50 a week or $ 75 in stock back then. I got paid weekly and worked around Montgomery Street. My Mother also invested in the market for years.
I know the basics how to do some of this stuff but except for Maroney, no one to bounce ideas off of so that I can know if my ideas are good or bad.


The Guy From Pittsburgh ( tm ) Outdoor Kitty Feeding Time !

Just got off the phone with Apple & determined why its not deleting my pictures when I save them to Iphoto. Will straighten that out during my next visit to the Apple store. That's why the video cut off. No space. My Imac's hd is almost full.

[Falkie2013]

NO, I can cook chicken, make stew & a steak, chops, a turkey, spaghetti, chili and a few other things, but am hampered by only having one working burner, and I have said so in here or on videos or both.
They inspect this place every 2 years & I keep asking for a new stove but its never been replaced.
And I have 2 shelves of cookbooks and can follow a recipe.
Pay attention, Puddy. A test on my videos  & posts will be given at the end of the hour.
Once I buy a George Forema outdoor grill I might be able to cook outside or I may be able to buy one of those smart burner devices. Getting a pressure cooker is on the list too. I also hava a toster oben, crock pot rice cooker and a small bread maker but my kitchen is very small.

[PB the Deplorable]

If your mother was as terrible as you claim, if Kathy is as bad as you claim, they should have been cut out of your life years ago.  Same with anyone else giving you distress and causing nothing but problems.  Regardless of their title ('mother', 'girlfriend').

You are responsible for you.  Blaming others is a copout.

If someone living with you racks up bills and won't pay them it's not a matter of blame, it's fact. I had to pay them and that took money away from other things I could have done with the money.
If you had someone living with you & they called Canada & racked up expensive phone bills, you would presumably expect them to pay for it. Or maybe you wouldn't.
The last time we lived together, I bought most of the food, paid the utilities, cable internet & she bitched that I didn't pay the rent too.
Kathy has strange ideas about sharing the bills. She finally started to see what I was talking about when she had to pay rent, bills & car repairs when I wasn't in the pictiure & when we got the first Prius I put my foot down & said you're going to pay for the insurance & repairs and NOT leave me to pay for everything as I did when I was working.
I've never stopped loving Kathy despite her strange ideas about finances.
As to my Mother, I stayed with her through a sense of obligation and took care of her when she became ill or had surgeries and had no one else.
Even when I didn't see her for long periods she'd have someone write me letters saying she was gravely ill or something & I'd drop stuff to take care of her. It's what I felt I should do as her son only to find out later she was not as ill as she let on. Other times she was very ill. She loved to play games with people's emotions.
It was her negative aspects that were the problem. In retrospect, I should have dropped her but I'm deep down to kind for that, no matter what you or anyone else might think.
I will have Kathy tell about my Mother one of these days. My Mother could be nice one week and horrible the next. Not just to me but to Kathy as well.`
There is much about Kathy that is admirable. She's not manipulative like my Mother.
It's funny. I'm trying to move past my Mother but you guys keep brining her up.
I'm done trying to explain it. None of you will ever explain what I went through or Kathy. She has unresolved issues with her parents as well. Her Father's 2nd wife treated both children terribly and kept Kathy's Father from seeing his friends who had known him for years. She was a golddigger who forced away his children and drove him into bankruptcy owing a over a million dollars at the end of his life.
But then NONE of you have had to LIVE our lives, have you  ?

You wouldn't have to keep repeating it over and over again if you hadn't told everyone about it over and over and over, ad nauseam.
You mock us (99.9% of forum participants) for using anonymous user IDs while you tell the world every sordid detail of your life.  We know your real name, your issues with your parents and sister, what's in your refrigerator, how you used your deceased mother's credit card.  We've heard you verbally abuse your girlfriend in your videos.  Most of us could probably locate your residence and ring your doorbell if we so desired - all from reading your posts.

I see your point. I think there is a significant difference... who knows?

Suggestion for Falkie: Don't put "The Guy From Pittsburgh (tm)" in the title of your videos anymore, ESPECIALLY the cat videos.  The title and the thumbnail are how people on a whim decide to view random videos.  You're crippling yourself severely by putting your very long name in front of every video title.  People are much, MUCH more likely to watch "Outdoor Kitty Feeding Time!" than they are "The Guy From Pittsburgh (tm) Outdoor Kitty Feeding Time!"

If they want to know who made the video, that's what your CHANNEL name is for.  Change "dmitri senda" (?) to "The Guy From Pittsburgh" as the main channel's name, problem solved.

Last I knew You tube required you to give your real name as a channnel owner. That may have changed.
I shall consider it but don't know IF I can change the owner name or not.
I've been telling people for years I post as TGFP.
Even the female tech at Apple that I talked to this morning said she'd seen some of my videos.

Your channel name can be whatever you want it to be.  You think that guy's real legal name is "Pewdiepie"?

Change the CHANNEL name, not the OWNER name.

[SnapT]

In any case, I would suggest strongly that you leave your nickname off the CAT video titles.  You're trying to reach outside your tiny little niche of "guy sitting in front of a webcam commenting on daily life and BellGab" with the cat channel.  The cats are the stars of this channel, not you.  You don't want to hamper that in any way.

[area51drone]

He really needs to drop The Guy From Pittsburgh all together and go with just plain Falkie.  It's much catchier.

[3OctaveFart]

Video for Falkie if he can't sleep tonight.
I'll be back to fight the haters in the morning, with fife and drum.

From your lips to Falkie's ears.  I've suggested that before.

That's what Art Bell chooses to call him.  Case closed.  'Nuff said, true believers.

Well I changed the name on the channel to George Senda.
It won't let me change it to Falkie or TGFP.

That's weird.  Then how did you name a channel "Falkie's Food Court"?  There's a difference between the channel name and the Google+ account name, or there should be.

Speaking of Falkie's Food Court, you should use your iPhone to take a quick video of every single meal you eat before you eat it and upload each one to Falkie's Food Court.  That's 2-3 videos a day right there. 

Throw enough shit at the wall and something's gotta stick.

See your inbox.

I changed my Google + name.
Am having problems with the other stuff.
My Iphone and Ipad are almost full. Will have to go to the Apple store to see what I can do about the problem with THIS computer as well.
My family, Kathy & my friends all call me George.
People on the phone keep callingf me Falkie.
Its one reason I came up with The Guy From Pittsburgh ( tm ).
Drives me a bit nuts.

Putting a (tm) beside the name doesn't make it trademarked.

If this works, here's how to change your channel name to Falkie...

Falkie, sync your iPhone to your computer.....once the photos are downloaded, just click "delete from camera" or "delete from device" whatever it says. Otherwise, no, it doesn't just delete your photos just because you've saved them to your computer, you have to tell it to.
Also, you might consider getting an external hard drive so you can free up some space on your computer. Do you use iCloud?

p.s. to sync, you simply plug your phone into your computer usb port, and open iTunes, then sync.

All very good points, SnapT, I wholeheartedly agree.
