A Black Man Explains Why He Can’t Buy A House While He Is Married
A couple of days ago I was watching a video made by a Black man in his 40s, explaining why he can’t buy a house while he is married. I thought that there is no way that this is going to make any sense, but it turns out to my surprise that he is correct.
This Black man is fairly intelligent and competent, so when I began hearing him describe that he and his wife are renting an apartment, I thought that something was wrong, because one of the easiest and best ways to invest money is to own your own home rather than pay rent.
Not only are mortgage payments on a home often less than rent payments on an apartment, a home can eventually be paid off and owned, whereas a rented apartment will never be paid off and will never be owned.
As this man described his wife’s suggestion that they rent a home, he said that he told his wife that he would continue to pay his half of the rent like he had been doing, if she wanted to rent a home. I gathered from this man that he paid his half of the rent and expenses, paid for himself, and the remainder of his money went into his personal checking account, savings account, and 401K or IRA.
I thought that surely he was smart enough to know, that if he and his wife bought a home together, over time the house would increase in value, and their equity in the home would grow. For instance, buying a $200,000 house now, in ten years it would likely be worth at least $300,000, if not more. That $100,000 gain in value in ten years is something that you won’t get from having your money in a savings account.
But I continued to listen to this guy to see what his reasoning was, and I was astonished, he was correct. If he and his wife ever got a divorce, the way that the divorce courts work, they look at and consider what kind of “lifestyle” the wife had while they were married, especially if they were married for a long time and this “lifestyle” was something that she became “accustomed” to.
This Black man has seen it, and I have seen it, where a judge will award the house to the wife, sometimes with the condition that the husband continue to pay the mortgage, and sometimes not. However, even if the judge awards the house to the wife, and does not order the husband to continue to make the mortgage payments, if his name is on the mortgage, the bank will hold the man responsible to continue to pay the mortgage until such time as future legal proceedings may free him from this responsibility.
What he was trying to do, was establish a long history of proof, that he was paying for his half of the rent, his half of the expenses, and that his wife was paying for her half of the rent, and her half of the expenses. Everything was equal, 50%-50%. He was not providing any kind of ease or luxury “lifestyle”, and his wife was not “accustomed” to any kind of ease or luxury provided by him.
Further, when you are renting an apartment, or renting a house, at the term of the lease ending, the renter is not entitled to anything, neither the husband or the wife are entitled to anything more, nor are either of them required to pay anything more, it is over. Especially if a couple are going through a divorce, if they can make it to the end of the lease, and one of the occupants can leave and not be on the lease anymore, it shows that they are not financially liable anymore for that dwelling.
But this man went even further, he didn’t even want his name to be on the apartment or home lease, ever. He wanted to be able to demonstrate that he didn’t have any financial responsibility for the rent, ever. With his record of never, ever being financially responsible for the rent during their marriage, how could a judge ever justify ordering him to pay his wife money for housing after the divorce?
If more men ever figured all of this out to the extent that this guy did, women would be in deep shit. One of the biggest ways that women are able to make financial gains, is by “cashing out” of their marriages. Typically this involves a wife tricking her husband into buying the most expensive house that they can barely afford early on in their marriage, having him work like a dog to make the mortgage payments, and then ten years later or when the home has appreciated greatly in value, file for divorce with the expectation that they will be awarded the home in the divorce settlement.
Even if it takes a husband working 60 or more hours per week to pay for his wife’s car, health insurance, home, and expenses, a divorce court judge will often believe that it is “normal” for the man to work like this, and that he should continue to support his wife in this manner after their divorce, awarding her the car, the home, and payment of her health insurance.
Once men begin to understand that this is how everything works currently, they would never get married and buy a house. Women have ruined the value of marriage, because of their greed and scheming.
Have Women Caused The End Of Bars, Nightclubs, Gyms, And Marriage?
Lately I have seen some articles, blog posts, and vlogs expressing some ideas that I agree with concerning women, and mentioning other ideas about women that I had not thought about or considered.
Eight months ago I wrote a blog post about women ruining a small weight room gym that I began going to in Dickinson. I deliberately went to this gym which was only about 1,500 square feet, instead of the more than 40,000 square foot West River Community Center in Dickinson, in order to avoid women and the problem of women getting in the way at the gym.
After I wrote my blog post about women ruining the small gym, just like they ruined the weight lifting area at the West River Community Center, I received many reader comments saying that I was the one who had the problem, that I should just work out at home.
Now, I have recently been seeing that there are hundreds of articles and video blogs about women ruining gyms, that are nearly identical to what I wrote. Universally, the complaints are that even though there are “women only” gyms, and good gyms for women, that women will seek out gyms and weight rooms that were intended for men, in order to get in the way, be a distraction, and try to get attention.
To the hundreds of articles and video blogs about women ruining gyms, male readers left hundreds of comments saying essentially, “I used to go to gyms until my workouts became ruined by attention seeking women who were being a distraction and getting in the way. I began working out at home, and now I don’t go to gyms anymore.”
I had not thought of this, or realized this, but many male readers also began leaving essentially the same comment “Bars and nightclubs are dead, and women have begun trying to use gyms in place of bars and nightclubs to get the attention of men. Women have sought out gyms that are used primarily by men, in order to show up wearing tight yoga pants and push-up sports bras, dressing even more provocatively than they would have been allowed to at a nightclub.”
Male commentors also pointed out that “Women dressing provocatively at male gyms allows them to get the attention that they want from everyone, by constantly bending over in front of men to show their asses and boobs. However, these same women will treat any interest from 90% of the men at gyms as harassment, for even looking at them or speaking to them.”
It was pointed out by men that “Women ruined bars and nightclubs” to where people do not go to bars and nightclubs anymore, and have caused many bars and nightclubs to go out of business. They explained that especially in the cities, men used to go out to bars and clubs at night in order to meet and try to pick up women. It was expected that men would offer to buy women drinks.
However, once there became several criminal cases where women and their attorneys claimed that women could not legally have given consent to have sex after having consumed alcohol, therefore they were raped by the men that they went home with, men began to realize that they could not buy women drinks in a bar and try to go home with them. Keep in mind that even though both men and women consumed drinks in a bar or nightclub, and went home together, it was only the man who was guilty of rape because only a women was incapable of making a decision and legally not responsible after consuming alcohol, though this legal argument is not effective in removing responsibility from women in any other type of case such as DUI, assault, theft, or murder.
Men concluded that just like women ruined bars and nightclubs to where there is no point for men to go to bars and nightclubs, and many bars and nightclubs have closed, that women are ruining gyms to where gyms will begin closing too. Men used to go to gyms to exercise and work out, but when women began showing up at gyms to try to get attention, get in the way, and accuse men of looking at them, there began to be no point in men going to gyms any longer.
Once men became forced to stop and think more about what women were doing, dressing provocatively at work and then making claims of harassment at work, then coming to gyms dressed provocatively and accusing men of looking at them, going to nightclubs to have men buy them drinks, then accusing men of raping them because they had consumed alcohol, and watching how divorce settlements worked, men began to realize that there was very little chance that they could have any involvement with women without disastrous consequences.
Why would a man want to become married to a woman, when what this means is a man paying the majority of the bills while married, buying his wife a car and a home, and then likely going through a divorce where his wife will keep the car, keep the home, and he will be forced to continue to have to pay her after the divorce.
Women are turning out to be so much trouble, that men are realizing they are better off not having anything to do with them and trying to stay away from them.
I Am Troubled And Disappointed With My Siamese Cat
In October of 2018 I brought a six week old male Siamese kitten home from the job site where I was working. I didn’t want a cat, and no pets are allowed in the building where I live, but I couldn’t leave this kitten at the job site after he wound up there by riding in a truck engine, because he was too small to survive. An owl or a pack of coyotes would have eaten him on the first night there.
Because this kitten didn’t try to scratch or bite me when I took him out of the truck engine, put him in my vehicle, and drove home with him, I thought that he was going to be well behaved. When I saw that he always used the cat litter box to poop and urinate, I thought that he was going to be a good cat.
He was a nice looking cat, but he was small. When I went to the Woofta pet store and the Pet Palace pet store in Dickinson to buy him some cat toys, I asked the store personnel if they placed cats for adoption, because I didn’t know if I could keep this cat, I am not supposed to have any pets in my apartment.
At first, I was looking forward to getting home from work to see my kitten, but pretty soon I wasn’t any longer. I have to leave for work at about 4 a.m., and I don’t get home until about 7 p.m., that is fifteen hours that I am gone. One of the first things that I would do each morning was make sure that the cat had a full bowl of food and water, and one of the first things that I would do when I got home at night was make sure that the cat had a full bowl of food and water.
I would leave each of my bedroom and bathroom doors open while I was gone so that the cat could run around the entire apartment, play with his toys, and look out the windows. During the day while I was gone, he would knock items off my chest of drawers, bathroom shelves, and claw up paper towel and toilet paper rolls.
When I get home at night, I only have a little over an hour to fix something to eat, go through bills, and check my e-mail if I am going to get even seven hours of sleep at night. While I would try to eat, the cat would try to take my napkin, knock over my drink, take my food, and knock over my plate. I would push the cat away and tell him “no”, but he would come right back.
When I would try to pay bills, the cat would try to take my pen, take my envelope, take my stamps, and knock everything off the table. He would kick my pile of bills that I had organized, all over the floor. He would try to jump in my lap, climb on top of me, and bite me.
Sometimes, after a very long and tiring day, after interfering with me eating dinner, interfering with me paying bills, and jumping on me when I was trying to use the computer, the cat climbing up my back sticking his claws in me would be enough for me to be about ready to kill the cat. I don’t mean this figuratively, in a moment like that, I was ready to kill this cat.
If I would have been living in a house, with a yard, I would have put this cat outside after he ate his dinner, so that I could be left alone, and he could go outside and play. But because of the apartment building that I live in, it would not be easy to put this cat outside, nor would it be safe for him, partly because of the risk of getting hit by a car, but also because now it is below 0 degrees Fahrenheit outside.
The cat was an even bigger problem when I tried to go to sleep at night. I would take the cat with me to bed, or I would leave the bedroom door open. As soon as I was falling asleep, the cat would begin stalking me and making attacks. He would run and leap on the bed, usually running up to my face and lightly scratching or biting my face. Sometimes he would climb up on a chest of drawers and leap on top of me when I was asleep.
I began having to shut the cat out of my bedroom when I tried to sleep, because he kept waking me up with his attacks, and I was also worried that he was going to damage one of my eyes because he kept lightly scratching and biting my face, and a few times not so lightly. There was a time or two when this cat bit me on my face too hard, and I lost my temper, and I was ready to kill this cat.
Because I was losing my temper so bad with this cat, many times I thought about trying to take him to one of the pet stores in Dickinson to place him for adoption. I felt bad about this, because they already have a lot of nice cats and kittens that they are holding for adoption, that would make nice pets. Though this Siamese cat is nice looking, he is not very nice, he has some behavior problems, and he wouldn’t make a very nice pet.
Growing up, my family bought kittens from breeders and adopted stray cats. Neither the kittens that we bought, the stray kittens that we adopted, or the adult stray cats that we adopted, none of them attacked me or my family members like this Siamese cat. None of my parents’ friends’ cats or our neighbors’ cats attacked people like this Siamese cat.
As an adult, none of the other stray cats that I have adopted or my room mates’ cats have attacked people like this Siamese cat. I think that this Siamese cat, and possibly his brothers and sisters, were dropped off somewhere and not placed in homes because of their behavior problems.
This Siamese cat acts somewhat like a raccoon or spider monkey in its habit of trying to move objects around, knock objects over, and get into everything to move things around. It is funny for a little while, but it becomes tiresome having to pick up after it all the time.
I got very angry with this cat a couple of weeks ago for biting me and running around in my apartment being destructive, so I put it outside the apartment building for the first time, when it was 25 degrees Fahrenheit outside. I didn’t care if the cat went off and never came back, or if it got run over by a car, it was being a jerk, I was tired of it.
Being outside, the cat panicked immediately. It began jumping into the glass door trying to get back inside. It began howling very loudly at other apartment residents’ windows. I wanted the cat to go away, but it wouldn’t leave. After about five or ten minutes, I went outside to get the cat because it wasn’t coping with being outside, it was behaving like a wounded animal. I tried to call it and pick it up, but the cat was acting like it didn’t know me when I picked it up, it was like it was panicked and out of its mind, like a wild, feral cat.
I tried to call the Dickinson animal control department to ask them to come and get this cat. I explained that I was tired of this cat biting me, that I had put it outside hoping that it would go away, but since it didn’t go away, I went outside to get it, and now it was acting like it didn’t know me, like it was a wild cat. It was the weekend, and the animal control department didn’t have anyone on duty to come and get this cat.
I put some heavy gloves on, and I went outside and picked up this cat, and I took it back inside, though I didn’t want it. I wished that it would have gone away to find some place else to live.
I believe that this cat has got something wrong with it. I thought that this must be like having your own kid or an adopted kid that has got something wrong with it. You feed it, you house it, you take care of it, but it is ungrateful, destructive, and it attacks you. You don’t want it, but you are kind of stuck with it.
I may try to place this cat for adoption, but I don’t want to do this because it has behavior problems. I don’t think that an adoptive family would keep it for very long once it tried to bite or scratch some woman’s or child’s face. Putting this cat up for adoption, it might soon end up being turned over to animal control to be euthanized, or someone might think that it was funny to take it in order to feed it their python or boa constrictor.
Proposed Rough Riders Strip Club In The Prairie Hills Mall, Dickinson, North Dakota
In this blog post I will explain why the proposed Rough Riders Strip Club in the Prairie Hills Mall in Dickinson, North Dakota is a good idea.
From approximately 2011 through 2018, Dickinson State University administrators, professors, local business people, city government representatives, developers, and architects worked on plans and fundraising to construct the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum in Dickinson, North Dakota. For those of you who don’t know, before Theodore Roosevelt became President of the United States in 1901, he spent several years in the 1890s living on a cattle ranch not far from Dickinson.
The Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum was something that was going to be a permanent attraction in Dickinson, and something that would help to fill the void that was left when so many oil field workers moved away after the boom ended in 2014. Unfortunately, important and influential people from elsewhere, steered the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum away from Dickinson, to the town of Medora forty miles to the west.
Before he became President, Theodore Roosevelt was known for leading the first voluntary U.S. Cavalry Regiment in the Spanish-American War in Cuba, called the “Rough Riders”. Hence, many things in this area are named “Rough Riders Hotel” or “Rough Riders Saloon”, in remembrance of the time that Theodore Roosevelt spent here.
Though Dickinson may not be able to have the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum, it can have the biggest and best strip club in North Dakota, called the “Rough Riders Strip Club”.
In 2018, the Prairie Hills Mall in Dickinson experienced the closing of its three largest stores, JC Penny, Herbergers, and Odyssey Theaters. There are several important reasons why the Rough Riders Strip Club should be located in the Prairie Hills Mall, besides being able to occupy the vacant space left by Herbergers or the Odyssey Theaters.
The Prairie Hills Mall is located centrally in downtown Dickinson, just north of Interstate 94, and beside Highway 22. It is surrounded by approximately sixteen restaurants and ten hotels. Because the Prairie Hills Mall is surrounded by about fifteen acres of paved parking lot, this parking lot is large enough to accommodate nearly two hundred tractor trucks & trailers in addition to normal vehicles.
Due to the location of the Prairie Hills Mall in Dickinson at the intersection of I-94 and Hwy 22, and because Dickinson is the nearest large town for one hundred miles in any direction, it is a natural convenient stopping place for commercial truck drivers. With easy parking and easy access to a large modern strip club, which would soon become famous, and access to sixteen restaurants and ten hotels, this would become the busiest town in North Dakota.
It wouldn’t just be the commercial truck drivers who would get off the interstate in Dickinson, with the attention and publicity, everyone would want to stop to see what was going on in Dickinson.
Who is going to work there you may ask? If you have read very many of my other blog posts, you might have seen that I often complain about there being a shortage of attractive women in Dickinson, and that most of the women in Dickinson are unfriendly. Yes, that is true. However, looking on Facebook, in this area, if you just look up the women with the last name of “Zastoupil” or “Miller”, there you will find enough attractive women with O.K. personalities to fill most of the dancer positions. There are enough DSU girls to fill in for the Zastoupil and Miller women on their days off.
DSU girls can work some of the bar positions. Dickinson High School girls and Trinity High School girls can work the waitress positions. There are a few nice looking housewives in Dickinson that can work as hostesses, cashiers, or fill-in for the dancers on short notice.
What about the rest of the women in Dickinson, how about them? I have envisioned a special opportunity for most of the other women in Dickinson, unlike anything else in North Dakota. The other women will be known as “The Heidi Heitkamp Girls” or the “Heidi Girls” for short.
The Heidi Girls can wear red hair wigs, and they can all be called “Heidi”. Now get ready for this, whenever a truck driver parks, a Heidi girl will trot over, pulling a rickshaw! That’s right, pulling a rickshaw, just like the ones in China and Vietnam, except for these will probably have rubber car tires.
For free, the Heidi Girl will transport any truck driver in her rickshaw in between the strip club and his tractor truck. However, if the truck driver wants to be taken to Taco Bell, Bernie’s Esquire Club, or a hotel, an extra charge will apply.
Now, if the owner of the Prairie Hills Mall is concerned about the running of the Rough Riders Strip Club, the long-time manager of the Mall, Peggy O’Brien, she can manage the strip club too, and also fill-in.
Witches In Dickinson, North Dakota
There are some pretend witches in Dickinson, some wanna-be witches, and some lazy, slutty, overweight women in Dickinson who aren’t witches, who give witches a bad name.
According to the Bible, I am not supposed to have anything to do with witches, but I am beginning to wonder about that, like a lot of other things.
Here is a list of what witches are not, I repeat, what they are not like:
- They are not fat, overweight, out-of-shape, unkempt, wrinkled women.
- They are not smokers, alcoholics, drug addicts, or promiscuous women.
- They are not lazy, uneducated, stupid, or women with bad judgement.
- They are not poor, they don’t live in decrepit dwellings, or wear tattered clothing.
- They don’t drive beat-up vehicles with a bunch of bumper stickers on them saying that they are a witch, “witches heal”, or “save mother earth”.
- They are not mid-wives or nurse practitioners, these are men-haters, lesbians, or dykes.
There are some women who are lazy, overweight, undisciplined slobs who have no self-control who would like to think of themselves as witches because they don’t do what other people want or expect of them, but “witch” is not at all what they are, more fitting terms would be fat, lazy, no-good, or stupid.
Real witches are way above average in intelligence, but you might not notice, because they don’t want to stand out, which could lead to problems for them, and they know it. Because witches are way above average in intelligence, they do not have difficulty in the occupations that they choose, therefore they do not have money problems.
In order to not stand out, they do not usually assume top-tier positions in their field of occupation, though they could if they wanted to. For example, they choose to be a nurse or a pharmacist rather than a medical doctor.
Real witches do not have money problems, not just because they have above average intelligence and have no difficulty in the occupations they choose, but they have many other ways to make money, and there are many other things that they do which give them an advantage.
For instance, witches are very good at beguiling men. If a witch wants to have a new roof put on her house, have her house painted, or have her yard professionally maintained, she is able to get it done for low prices, with extra effort put in by the men performing the work. This is one of the reasons why real witches do not live in decrepit houses, they have money, and they can always get home maintenance done.
In order to get what they want, or get things done, witches can beguile men, cast spells, and put hexes on people. Witches don’t have to be mean and nasty toward other people, they can just put spells and hexes on other people to make them go away or disappear. This is one of the reasons why witches do not have wrinkles, they do not have to stress over money, things, or other people.
Because of witches’ intelligence, intuitiveness, awareness, knowledge, and discipline, they know how to take care of their physical bodies and maintain their physical health. Completely contrary to some depictions of witches, witches tend to have beautiful hair, very good complexions, low body weight, and out of the ordinary attractiveness, usually into very old age.
Here is a general description of how you might spot a witch, if she has all of these characteristics: She has long beautiful hair, a good complexion, a good figure, a nice home, a nice yard, never stresses, stays inside much of the time, is hardly ever or never sick, and she drives a Toyota Corolla or a Honda Civic which is very clean and in good condition.
See, here is part of the give-away or tell, if she is so pretty, and she has such a nice home, she probably could afford to have a Mercedes or BMW, but she doesn’t. This is not only because she has above average intelligence, but because she is trying to not stand out.
Sometimes, witches marry, if her husband is someone that she thinks that she can keep under her control. If not, if she was mistaken, their husbands have an “accident” or get sick and die, leaving her both money, and an excuse as to why she does not have a man in her life.
I have met three older women in the Dickinson area who are real witches. Each of them are very attractive in their older age, each of them are married, and each of them have very nice homes and money. Two of these women who are in their fifties now, have better complexions, tighter skin, much leaner muscular bodies, and much better long beautiful hair than girls who are in their teens.
One of my favorite things, was when two of these three witches would come up behind me and gently rake my lower back with their finger nails. It was the best feeling in the World.
I also know of one young lady in Dickinson who might be a real witch, I suppose that she is. She is married. There is no point in me telling on these three older witches or this one young witch, they would just deny it, they wouldn’t like me telling on them, and no one would believe me anyway. Their husbands don’t even know.
Old St. Joseph’s Hospital In Dickinson To Be Used For Mental Health Services
On February 1st, I read an article in the Dickinson Press Newspaper about the old St. Joseph’s Hospital in Dickinson being purchased and renovated, to be used as a location for Mental Health Services.
The buyer of the old St. Joseph’s Hospital property is a man named Andres Mejia, who is currently employed at the new St. Alexius Hospital in Dickinson as their director of risk management and quality. I wasn’t certain that Andres Mejia was going to be the actual owner of the property, or if he was acting as an agent for some branch of Catholic Health Initiatives.
I looked up Andres Mejia in Dickinson, and I read that in August of 2018, Mejia Property Management LLC was registered in North Dakota with Andres Leonardo Mejia-Fuentes listed as the agent, and his home address was used, so this does appear to be a personal undertaking of Andres Mejia, not Catholic Health Initiatives.
I believe that Andres Mejia was led to believe that if he created a space for Mental Health Services in Dickinson, that the Federal Government, North Dakota State Government, Southwest North Dakota Health Services, Catholic Health Initiatives, corporate medical group health care providers, and private practice health care providers would all participate in providing funds and paying rents, because there is a huge gap in Mental Health Services in southwest North Dakota.
Andres Mejia may believe that it is almost certain, that if he purchased the old St. Joseph’s Hospital, performed the necessary renovations, and subdivided the space at the old St. Joseph’s Hospital according to what each health care provider tenant required, that the rents he received and the appreciating value of the property would make him successful in the long run.
When I read the headline and the first paragraph of the Dickinson Press Newspaper article about this plan, I had a great deal of doubt that this was a good idea. I began to think about what would happen to me if I tried to do this, even if I was able to purchase the old St. Joseph’s Hospital for just $1.
If I started out by purchasing the old St. Joseph’s Hospital for just $1, with this property sitting vacant like it is right now, here is what I estimate my ownership costs would be:
- Yearly property taxes………………………………………….$5,000
- Yearly insurance for property damage & liability……………$5,000
- Yearly electric costs, heating in Winter……………………….$12,000
- Snow removal and grounds maintenance…………………….$5,000
- Interior routine maintenance……………………………………$1,000
Subtotal $28,000 per year, while vacant
With an old building like this, you could expect to have to have to perform roof, plumbing, window, or heating repairs:
Add $10,000 for normal repairs per year, while vacant
Because I am not Catholic, and this is Dickinson, I could be sure that the Fire Marshal, Building Inspector, the Health Department, and local contractors would all get together at their Knights of Columbus meetings to come up with a plan to try to financially break me which would include:
- Citations for asbestos, asbestos contamination, and required removal.
- Citations for lead paint, lead paint contamination, and lead paint removal.
- Citations for mold, black mold, mold contamination, and remediation.
- Citations for elevator, and elevator required retrofitting.
- Citations for fire escape, and fire escape required retrofitting.
- Citations for electrical, plumbing, and boiler not being up to code and required renovation.
For me, there would never be an end to the Fire Marshal, Building Inspector, Health Department, Property Tax Appraiser, other Government officials, and local contractors trying to come up with schemes to financially break me:
Add another $2 million, for the cost of Corruption in Dickinson
To top everything off, if I had personally purchased the old St. Joseph’s Hospital in Dickinson, for even just $1, I would probably not be able to find a buyer who was willing to pay me $1 for it, because of the awareness of the ownership costs that I listed up above. If I did sell it, I would probably later be sued by the buyer for non-disclosure of my knowledge that the building was haunted.
Even if Andres Mejia didn’t face the $2 million cost of every Government Official in Dickinson trying to find something wrong with this building and force him to correct it, what if the owner of the large new vacant retail building in the Menards shopping area suddenly makes a large donation to Catholic Health Initiatives, and they start liking him and his new building, more than they like Andres Mejia and his old building?
What if Andres Mejia begins making renovations to the old St. Joseph’s Hospital building, spending several hundred thousand dollars, and meanwhile there is a change in leadership at Catholic Health Initiatives, Southwest North Dakota Health Services, or a corporate health care provider that had previously stated verbally that they were committed to occupying his building once the renovations were completed?
What if Governor Doug Burgum shows up suddenly out of no-where, and convinces the Federal Government, North Dakota State Government, Southwest North Dakota Health Services, corporate health care groups, and private practice health care providers that Bismarck is more centrally located and more easily reachable by everyone in North Dakota?
I would not want to be in Andres Mejia’s position. The cost of ownership of this old building is high, and it is to be expected that there will be expensive routine repairs needed, even when this building is vacant. There is also the potential that the Fire Marshal, Building Inspector, Health Department, and local contractors could financially ruin this project and Andres Mejia by creating renovation costs that will never be able to be recovered or overcome.
There is also no guarantee that the verbal enthusiasm Andres Mejia has heard about creating a health care facility to provide treatment for Mental Health, Drug Addiction, and Rehabilitation will materialize into anyone actually becoming a tenant.
Andres Mejia may have had good intentions, but hardly anyone else in Dickinson does. Dickinson is an area where people have so little opportunity to get ahead, that they have become accustomed to helping other people to fail so that no one else can get ahead either. In particular, they like to encourage people to buy property here, spend money to make improvements on the property, financially ruin them, then scoop up their recently improved properties for very little money after they have financially bankrupted them.
Mental Health Services that could soon be offered in Dickinson:
Incredibly Beautiful Escorts Of London
Yesterday I received a reader comment about my blog website article on “Escorts of Italy”, referring me to the website address for Escorts of London.
Previously, I was amazed at the “Escort of Italy” escort service because of the very high quality and beauty of the women they employed, who ranged in age from 18 years to 28 years of age. The Escort of Italy service provided women in Rome, Venice, Milan, and also in Florence I believe, for about $250 per hour.
For the Escort of Italy service, you could browse through their gallery of about thirty escorts, view four or five photographs of each escort, read their age, height, size, and weight, what they were willing to do sexually, and make an appointment with the girl that you wanted. All of the women were in very good physical health, with no tattoos.
Today, when I went and looked at the website PerfectLondonEscorts.com, I saw that the escorts they offered in London were just as perfect as the escorts that I saw on the Escort of Italy website, but I soon realized that in London they had two or three times as many women.
Keep in mind that the Escort of Italy service gets their women primarily from Russia, whereas it looks like Perfect London Escorts has many women who are from England, Ireland, and Scotland, with probably some women from elsewhere as well.
In my opinion, the best way to look at the Perfect London Escorts website, is to click this link https://perfectlondonescorts.com/, and then when this website comes up, at the top of their web page, click on the “Gallery” tab in order to see all of their women.
Here where I live in Dickinson, North Dakota, due to the very cold weather, barren landscape, lack of anything to do, and the recent oil boom, the ratio of men to women is about 3:1. The women who are here, are overweight, unattractive, mean, and nasty, except for the Methamphetamine addict women who are thin, filthy, criminals.
I wish that in North Dakota, there could be an escort service with women like the ones shown on the Perfect London Escorts website, but the Government and Law Enforcement have to make sure that North Dakota is one of the most miserable places on Earth.
I Thought Women Were Getting In The Way At Gyms Because They Are Stupid
In the beginning of December 2017, I wrote a blog post article that was very favorable about a new gym that had opened in Dickinson, North Dakota called The Pit Gym. Though this gym was small, it was set up primarily for the use of free weights, heavy weight bench press, heavy weight squat, and heavy weight dead lift.
I thought that there was no way that women would have any interest in The Pit Gym, because it didn’t have a women’s locker room, cardiovascular equipment, hardly any leg machines, no television, nothing that they would be interested in. I was wrong.
In May of 2018, six months later, I wrote a blog post article titled, “The Beginning Of The Ruining Of The Pit Gym”, because women began showing up at this gym, and they began doing the same things that they do at every gym that they go to.
I thought that this was happening because women are stupid, and they didn’t know or understand that the whole reason why there needed to be a power lifting gym in Dickinson, was to have a place where women didn’t go and take up every spot using just the 45 lb bar with no weight on it.
At that time, I didn’t know that this was a World-wide scheme by women, to try to force men to pay attention to them. I thought that women were just too stupid to know what a nuisance they were in the gym, but it turns out that they did know, and that this is all deliberate.
Here is a video created by a middle-aged Black man, explaining this:

I have written previously that most of the Gyms in the United States have been transformed into Fitness Centers over the past twenty years. Concrete and wood floors being replaced with carpeting, rusty steel plates and bars being replaced with upholstered cable machines, stereos playing rock music being replaced with televisions showing Dr. Phil, in order to be more appealing to women.
It looks like gyms/fitness centers are presenting so many problems for men now, that men just won’t go to them anymore, and exercise at home. Without men going to gyms, women won’t go either, and all gyms will go out of business. I don’t think that gym owners ever saw that this was going to happen.
Runnings In Dickinson Calls Police On Gun Buyer
In today’s Dickinson Press Newspaper, I read in the Police Blotter section, that on January 23 the Runnings Farm & Fleet store in Dickinson had called the City of Dickinson Police about a possible “straw buyer” of a firearm. This was very concerning to me, and I will explain why.
There are three main things that I want to point out, and then explain in more detail:
One, If you have ever purchased a firearm for your wife, daughter, son, father, brother, sister, aunt, uncle, friend, or anyone, you could be reported for a felony punishable by more than one year in prison, if the firearm dealer chose to report you. The reason why you would be guilty of a felony, is because when you complete the firearm purchase and registration forms required by the Federal Government or ATF, you are required to answer, “Are you the actual transferee/buyer of the firearm(s) listed on this form? Warning: You are not the actual buyer if you are acquiring the firearm(s) on behalf of another person. If you are not the actual buyer, the dealer cannot transfer the firearm(s) to you.”
Two, You should be concerned that at the time of the sale of a firearm to you, or at a later date, a gun dealer or an employee of Runnings Farm & Fleet could use your personal information on file at the store, to report you to the Police for a felony, based on suspicion, something they saw, heard, or became aware of, regarding a friend or family member possessing a firearm that was sold to you.
Three, If an employee of a gun dealer or Runnings Farm & Fleet is so convinced that the person they are selling a firearm to is a “straw buyer” that they would call the Police to report it, why would they make this sale in the first place?
When I read the Dickinson Press Newspaper this morning about Runnings Farm & Fleet calling the Police about a “straw buyer” of a firearm, I began trying to look up the North Dakota law, or any law that covers this. After I had spent about one hour trying to look up the law on this, and reading reports of several different court cases, I learned that the easiest and simplest way to prosecute the accusation that someone was a “straw buyer” of a firearm, was to prosecute them for falsifying the paper work that they signed, which is a crime in itself.
The most famous applicable case, is the U.S. Supreme Court case of 2014 Abramski versus United States. In this case a former Police Officer living in Virginia purchased a Glock handgun for his Uncle living in Pennsylvania, because he was able to buy it cheaper using his Law Enforcement discount at a gun dealer in Virginia. In this case, some of the law that was cited that led to Abramski being found guilty of a crime was:
The Gun Control Act of 1968 regulates the sale and transfer of guns. Section 922(a)(6) of the act makes it unlawful for any person acquiring a gun from a gun dealer to “knowingly … make any false or fictitious … written statement … likely to deceive” the dealer, “with respect to any fact material to the lawfulness of the sale.” Section 924(a)(1)(A) of the same act, makes it unlawful and provides a penalty for anyone who “knowingly makes any false statement or representation with respect to the information required by this chapter to be kept in the records of a firearms dealer under this chapter.”
And even more specifically, the “false statement or representation” that was made by Abramski to the gun dealer, what I already cited up above previously, was when he answered in the gun dealer paperwork the question:
“Are you the actual transferee/buyer of the firearm(s) listed on this form? Warning: You are not the actual buyer if you are acquiring the firearm(s) on behalf of another person. If you are not the actual buyer, the dealer cannot transfer the firearm(s) to you.”
To the readers who are thinking ahead of me, on how to circumvent this law, if you waited a certain amount of time, no one knows exactly how long, in order to demonstrate that you were the actual owner of the firearm for a period of time, and then at a later date you chose to sell this firearm or give it away as a gift, you could use this as your legal defense. But I want to point out and remind everyone, that it costs just as much money to hire an attorney to defend yourself when you are charged with a crime, whether you are innocent or guilty, so do you even want to be charged with a crime in the first place?
The reason why I am so concerned about Runnings in Dickinson calling the Police to report a “straw buyer”, is that if they really thought that this person was buying this firearm on behalf of another person, possibly because of hearing something this buyer said, Runnings should have told this buyer, “We have reason to believe that you intend to purchase this firearm for someone else, based on what we heard you say, this would be a felony punishable by more than one year in prison, and we are not able to knowingly be involved in this sale or this felony.”
If Runnings in Dickinson heard a customer talking about a firearm and saying something such as, I think that my wife would like this, I think that my daughter would like this, I think that my son would like this, or my father always wanted a gun like this, and Runnings completed the sale, then telephoned the Dickinson Police to report a “straw buyer”, I think that everyone in Dickinson should be made aware that this can happen, so that they don’t do this. If someone is convicted of this felony of being a “straw buyer”, they will no longer be able to buy or possess any firearm.
I don’t know how much of a detective and informant I want a gun dealer or Runnings Farm & Fleet to be. Probably not at all. Probably, if they are going to report me to the Police for buying a firearm from them, please just don’t sell me a firearm in the first place.
How far is Runnings Farm & Fleet in Dickinson going to take this? Are they going to assume that someone accompanying a buyer and giving their advice or expressing their preference is actually going to be the owner of the firearm being purchased? Is Runnings going to call the Police after the sale, and turn over the store and parking lot surveillance videos to be used to prosecute people?
Why would you purchase a firearm from Runnings Farm & Fleet in Dickinson if you had any reason to believe that they were surveilling you and going to report you to the City of Dickinson Police after you purchased a firearm from them? Do you want to be questioned and investigated by the City of Dickinson Police? Do you want the City of Dickinson Police getting into your personal business?

An Elderly Woman Gives Her Testimony Of Torture And Sexual Abuse As A Catholic Nun
Yesterday, I angrily left De Porres House of Barbering and Lounge in Dickinson, North Dakota. I became angrier and angrier, as I waited for my appointment, after I had read a large message board showing how customers had paid ahead for haircuts and pints of beer for the local Catholic Monsignor and Catholic priests.
The Catholic Church is the most corrupt and evil organization in the World, and it was blatantly apparent that both the owners Matt and Paul Ellerkamp and the customers were supporters of the Catholic Church.
Catholics refuse to believe, acknowledge, or understand the horrible corruption and evil of the Catholic Church, and they are complicit in this evil, because they go along with it.
Below I have included a video, where an elderly woman gives her testimony of the torture and sexual abuse that she received as a Catholic Nun. She gives the details and explanation of how this occurred.
Particularly disgusting, is where she describes how she was given over to a Catholic priest to use for sex, by the Mother of the convent, who told her, “Oh child, it is O.K., your body is not yours anymore, your body has been given over to God.” The explanation of how this happened begins at the 16:02 minute mark on this video.
Review Of De Porres House Of Barbering In Dickinson, North Dakota
In about 2016, I began going to the Big Sky Barber Shop in Dickinson, owned by Matt and Paul Ellerkamp, who are cousins. Matt and Paul were fairly polite and cordial to everyone, and for a time I believed that they were the best and most skilled barbers in Dickinson.
Even though the oil boom was over in Dickinson by the end of 2015, in 2016 and 2017 it was hard to get an appointment at the Big Sky Barber Shop, they were usually booked solid. When I was getting my hair cut by Matt, I learned that he had a Masters Degree in Business Administration from the University of Mary in Bismarck.
If anyone wondered why Matt was a barber, at $20 per haircut, times three customers per hour, times eight hours per day, that equals $480 per day, $2,400 per week, $120,000 per year. But cutting hair all day long, and being on your feet all day long, is not easy, it is hard work.
It was not too much of a surprise to me, that Matt and Paul decided to relocate from their small, cramped barber shop, to a new location in 2018. They were both making good money, they were usually completely booked, so why not get a bigger and nicer place.
I was surprised that Matt and Paul decided to occupy the whole ground floor of a historic building downtown, that required a complete and total renovation. I had been inside of this building before recently, and I knew that this was a huge undertaking, what were Matt and Paul doing I wondered?
It turned out that Matt and Paul were opening “De Porres House of Barbering and Lounge”. I was worried that they had gone too far, they might have been better off just sticking to being barbers, what they had been successfully making money at. In any small town, especially Dickinson, you need to be very cautious about grandiose business plans. Dickinson has gone through some very, very lean times in the past.
Today, was my first, and last time, trying to get my hair cut at De Porres House of Barbering and Lounge. The four on-street parking spaces in front of De Porres were occupied, so I parked in the city lot across the street. I didn’t know how busy they were going to be, it was about 10:30 a.m. on a Monday morning.
When I walked in the front door of De Porres House of Barbering, I was shocked, and I thought to myself, “What is this place?”, because there was an alcohol bar, bartender, and lounge right when you walk in. I was thinking, this is not what I wanted at all, I just want to get a haircut, that’s all.
I guessed that you were supposed to ask the bartender if they had any walk-in appointments available, and the bartender asked me my first and last name, and he put me down for 10:45 a.m. with “Dave”. In a matter of seconds I received a text message on my phone that I had an appointment at 10:45 a.m., they must have had my name and phone number in their system.
I had a coke to drink while I waited, and there was a man and a woman seated in the lounge who were apparently waiting to get a haircut. In the back, I could see that Matt and Paul were busy with other customers, and so was the barber named Dave. Within a few minutes, I received a text message that my appointment was now being re-scheduled to 11:00 a.m.
At first I was not too annoyed, I was just not very comfortable in this place, I was not seeking this kind of experience, I just wanted a haircut. A customer went and sat at the bar drinking a beer, he told the bartender that his occupation was as a commercial truck driver. Keep in mind that this was now 10:45 a.m. in the morning.
As I continued to wait, I saw a very large message board, where customers had paid in advance for haircuts and pints of beer for the local Catholic Monsignor and Catholic priests. This was very off-putting to me, as I believe that the Catholic Church is probably the most corrupt institution in the World, and each local Monsignor and priest is complicit in this corruption, if not actively involved in molesting children.
I found myself becoming more and more angry, as my re-scheduled appointment time for 11:00 a.m. came and went. I said to the bartender, that I was very angry, I no longer wanted a haircut, and that I would not ever be coming back.
I now think of Matt and Paul Ellerkamp as assholes. This De Porres House of Barbering and Lounge is more like a monument to themselves, and something that arose out of their ego, pride, and arrogance. They went from having a quick, efficient, dependable barber shop, to something that is an impediment and obstacle to getting a haircut.
I would not want this kind of lounge at a car dealer service department, a tire store, an attorney’s office, a dentist’s office, a chiropractor’s office, or any service provider where I came to get something done quickly, competently, and efficiently. Alternatively, why don’t the Paragon, the Spur, the Rock Bar, Bernie’s Esquire Club, and the Eagles Lodge start cutting hair?
If you want to go to a barber shop like the Big Sky Barber Shop used to be, where you can quickly get in and get out with no fuss, I recommend Luke Simons’ Gentlemen’s Barber Shop.
I just wanted to get a haircut, not this…..
Video Showing Why The Theodore Roosevelt Library And Museum Is Not Being Built In Dickinson, North Dakota
For those of you who don’t know, Theodore Roosevelt before he became president of the United States in 1901, from 1883 to 1885 he spent time on a cattle ranch approximately forty miles west of Dickinson in an area that is called Medora.
In approximately 2014, Dickinson State University began the process of taking print and photographic archival records of Theodore Roosevelt, and digitizing them so that they could be stored and accessed electronically with computers. Though other people may have had the idea a long time ago, this is when it became more well known and discussed that Dickinson State University might be a good place for a Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum.
Having the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum at DSU would have greatly increased the importance and prestige of Dickinson State University. It would have kept DSU in the news perpetually, and brought more students, researchers, professors, funding, grants, and donations.
This would have been very good publicity for the City of Dickinson, and something that it could boast about. Increased visitors, tourists, researchers, and students would have meant more revenue for restaurants, hotels, and businesses in Dickinson.
A Theodore Roosevelt Foundation was formed in order to plan the funding, design, and construction of the Presidential Library and Museum in Dickinson. Donations and grants were sought, and the City of Dickinson pledged to provide more than a million dollars.
In order to have an excellent board of directors for the Theodore Roosevelt Foundation, board members were selected from scholars, business people, and descendants of Theodore Roosevelt throughout the United States, living on the east coast, the west coast, and in large cities like Denver. This selection process was the beginning of the end, this would turn out to be disastrous for Dickinson.
People living on the east coast, the west coast, and places like Denver, they are liberal, they hate places like small town conservative Dickinson, North Dakota in the mid-west. Before long, out of nowhere, North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum began speaking on behalf of North Dakota in regards to the construction of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum in Dickinson, and the Governor did not want it to be constructed in Dickinson either.
With very little effort, the majority of the people on the board of directors of the Theodore Roosevelt Foundation became persuaded by Governor Doug Burgum that it was O.K. for the Presidential Library and Museum to be constructed elsewhere, even though it was the people of Dickinson that came up with the idea, plans, and had formed the Theodore Roosevelt Foundation in the first place for the purpose of building the Library and Museum in Dickinson.
This was a great tragedy for Dickinson, but I understand North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum’s dislike for Dickinson. The local people in Dickinson, are mean, hostile, unfriendly, unhelpful, and uncooperative. They hate people who are from someplace else, they mistreat and take advantage of people who are from someplace else, and they hate education. The local people in Dickinson have been like this for more than the past one hundred years, and they are changing at a snail’s pace.
From the point of view of the people in Fargo, Bismarck, and the Governor, having the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum in Dickinson, would be a public relations disaster for the State of North Dakota, with the way the people in Dickinson act. People from around the World might have traveled to Dickinson to visit the Library and Museum, researchers, scholars, professors, and tourists, only to be stopped and arrested by the City of Dickinson Police, assaulted by hoodlums, robbed by Meth addicts, taken advantage of by Dickinson businesses, and treated like shit by the people in Dickinson.
The local people in Dickinson don’t know how bad they are, they think that they are friendly. I have attached two short videos below that are a re-creation of what people like Governor Doug Burgum may have experienced in Dickinson. In the first video, this shows how local Dickinson women act when they are employed at local businesses.
In the second video below, this shows a re-creation of what kind of interaction that Governor Doug Burgum may have had in Dickinson to make him believe that the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum could not be built in Dickinson.
Not Caring About Anything In Dickinson, North Dakota
For the past three months in Dickinson, I leave home to drive more than an hour to work in the dark, I work for twelve hours, then I drive for more than an hour home from work in the dark. When I get home from work, I eat, then I go to sleep for about seven hours, then it is time for me to wake up to go back to work.
The driving and working, which adds up to a little over fourteen hours each day, is somewhat tiring. The weather, the snow and ice, the extreme cold, my problems, and my co-workers’ problems, make everything more tiring, it makes it exhausting.
One of my co-workers this winter, he hit a deer on the way to work which totaled his mini-van. Next, this same co-worker, driving a borrowed vehicle, he hit a snow drift across the road on the way to work, and he damaged his borrowed vehicle. One week later, this co-worker hit another deer on the way to work, and he totaled his borrowed vehicle.
Very often, the roads are slick and covered with ice and snow. Due to the North Dakota winds which are nearly constant on the barren prairie, the snow is driven in flurries and drifts across the road, which reduce visibility, and make it hard to see deer and snow drifts on the road when driving.
Me and my co-workers, we just hope that we don’t have car problems. Today, when the temperature was -17 degrees Fahrenheit, and the Wind Chill effect was -40 degrees Fahrenheit, my female co-worker’s truck battery went dead, while she was running her truck. It wasn’t her truck alternator, the alternator tested O.K., it was her truck battery.
Eight weeks ago while I was at work, after I had worked my scheduled twelve hours, I had to continue working for another twelve hours because someone quit, and during this second twelve hours, the alternator on my truck quit working. My co-workers helped me change my alternator, I was very cold and tired, and my co-workers did 60%-70% of the work, my hands couldn’t feel the bolts, and especially not the screws.
In a recent previous blog post, I wrote about “My $1,000 trip to the Killdeer Mountains” on Christmas Eve, where I cut and destroyed one new tire, destroyed the spare tire, and had to get my truck towed back to Dickinson for a $500 tow fee. In another recent previous blog post, I wrote about the Dickinson Police ticketing my vehicle and my neighbor’s vehicle, and having my neighbor’s vehicle towed away. After one week, the tow fees on my neighbor’s vehicle were $405, and he was never able to get his vehicle back.
The way things are in Dickinson, with work, with Winter, the ice, snow, extreme cold, dangerous driving conditions, vehicle problems, and the Dickinson Police, not only is there no desire on my part to go anywhere, it is in fact too costly and too dangerous to try to go anywhere.
Is there anywhere in Dickinson to go, or worth going to, like a nice, enjoyable restaurant? The answer is no. Do I want to drive to Bismarck, the State Capitol one hundred miles to the east? No.
The work, the cold, the dark, ice and snow, it is very bleak living in Dickinson, North Dakota.
On the internet, when I see videos of the cities and suburbs in the South and Southwest, places like Tampa, Orlando, Atlanta, Dallas, and Phoenix, there is no way that I want to live like that, like rats and roaches crawling on top of each other, where people have hardly any personal space to themselves.
The only thing good about North Dakota, is that there are very few people, because no one wants to live here.
The Danger Of Getting Towed In Dickinson, North Dakota
About five days ago I had a bright orange ticket from the Dickinson Police Department left on my vehicle windshield. This ticket was for having my vehicle parked on the street in one spot for more than 48 hours. The ticket was only $15, but there was a notice that my vehicle would be towed away in 48 hours if I did not move it.
Since I bought this vehicle, I have had a fear of it getting towed. It is a full-time four-wheel-drive vehicle, similar to an all-wheel-drive vehicle. If my vehicle is towed the wrong way, the damage that is caused to the transmission costs over $4,000 to repair.
Jeep Grand Cherokees with Quadra-Trac, AWD Audis, AWD Mercedes, AWD BMWs, AWD Subarus, and Range Rovers, have all four wheels permanently linked to the transmission and transfer case. If a tow truck driver lifted one end of one of these vehicles with a wheel cradle, and towed it with the other set of wheels on the ground, it would break the linkage in the transfer case. For a Jeep Grand Cherokee the linkage is a chain in the transfer case, and this repair costs about $2,800 from what I have read, but for all the other vehicles mentioned above the linkage is a viscous coupler, and the repair is more than $4,000.
Would a tow company admit to causing $4,000 damage to a vehicle from towing it the wrong way? If you watch The People’s Court on television, the answer is no, tow companies do not usually admit to towing a vehicle the wrong way. You would have to file a small claims court case against the tow company and you would have to prove with evidence that the tow company caused the linkage in the transfer case to break, which they would deny.
Another problem that I worry about now that I see that I am going to get ticketed for leaving my vehicle parked on the street for more than 48 hours, is what kind of parking rotation procedure am I going to use every 48 hours, to where my vehicle doesn’t end up in the same exact spot six days later. I could move my vehicle three times in a six day period, and the Dickinson Police Officer who ticketed my vehicle would be back on duty, and he would say, “I am going to call to have this vehicle towed, it is in the same exact spot where I ticketed it six days ago.”
I telephoned the manager of the apartment building where I live, and I said that in the 1-1/2 years that I have lived in this building, I have parked on the street, because I realized that there is a shortage of parking in front of the building, but since I am going to get ticketed now for parking on the street, can I have an assigned parking space? The apartment manager said that they can not assign a parking space to everyone, there are not enough spaces for everyone. I asked if they had a garage available, and the manager said that they might have a garage available, and it would cost $60 per month.
On the same day that my vehicle was ticketed about five days ago, the vehicle behind me was also ticketed. The owners of the vehicle behind me, I don’t think that they understood the ticket or the threat of being towed, because they are from a foreign country, and they did not remove the bright orange ticket from their vehicle, or move their vehicle. About one day ago, their vehicle got towed.
Today, as I was walking up the stairs, the owner of this vehicle was walking down the stairs. I asked him if his vehicle got towed, and if there was something wrong with it. He said, yes, that it had a dead battery. I asked if there was anything else wrong with it that it would not run, and he said no. I asked him if he was going to get it out of the tow yard, and he said, “Probably.” I couldn’t understand why he let it get towed in the first place.
I asked him, and he told me that he was willing to sell this vehicle, and how much he wanted for it, about $500. I don’t know if there is something else wrong with it, or if he does not have a Title for it in his name, because if it runs O.K. it should be worth at least $1,500. I don’t think that he knew how much the tow fees and storage fees were going to be, because if he did, he probably would have pushed it or dragged it to a different spot, to prevent it from being towed.
I called the tow company to ask how much the tow fees and storage fees were, and the tow company said $125 for the tow, and $40 per day for storage. This is the second day that the tow company has had my neighbor’s vehicle, and if it goes just a few days longer, there is almost no chance that he will ever get this vehicle back. After just a few more days, the tow company fees will be equal to one month’s rent for the apartment that he lives in.
Poor people, are poor because of their life circumstances, mental problems, emotional problems, health problems, accidents, bad decisions, lack of education, lack of understanding, irresponsibility, and so forth. All they may be able to afford is a studio apartment in an old building downtown with not enough parking in the parking lot, so they park on the street. All they may be able to afford is an old vehicle with some mechanical problems, that sometimes doesn’t run, that maybe they can’t even drive because they can’t pay for insurance. So it gets ticketed by the Dickinson Police and towed away a few days later.
At $40 per day storage fees, a poor person is very likely not going to ever get their vehicle back. They do not understand how quickly the storage fees will accumulate. The first day $165, in one week $405, in two weeks $685. What are these fees all about?
In Dickinson, I have some vehicles in storage, and I pay $45 per month. At the Dickinson Airport, I believe that it costs $8 per day to leave your vehicle inside of their fenced, access controlled parking lot. However if you are a poor person, with not very good understanding, the Dickinson Police will help to make sure that you get charged $40 per day for your vehicle so that they can take it from you.
To be clear, if you are wealthy enough to own a home, where you can park your vehicle in your driveway, garage, or yard, you won’t have the Dickinson Police bothering you. But if you are very poor, and you live in the poorest area of Dickinson, and your car doesn’t always run, the Dickinson Police have this scheme where they will take your car and you won’t be able to get it back.
Being so poor, having nothing left, and making poor decisions, the only way that these desperately poor families have to come up with $405 to $685 to get their vehicle back, is to sell their children to sex traffickers.
Miss Teen Poland Swimsuit Competition
I don’t really like beauty pageants, and I kind of feel sorry for young women trying to get ahead by appearing almost completely nude. However, this feeling of sympathy, comes from being brought up with the wrong idea and understanding of women.
It’s a trick and deception to feel sorry for women. The reality is that you will never in your life come across anything more treacherous, dishonest, scheming, and malevolent than women. Once you understand this, you are on your way to having a happier, more successful, more productive life. If you fail to understand this, you will fail in life, likely always being poor, in debt, and miserable.
So sit back and enjoy this video of young Polish women competing against each other to prove who is the hottest, most attractive, and most desirable for mating:
Contestant #10 at the 2:50 mark, is that Codi Miller? I didn’t know that Codi was Polish. Is she allowed to do this, I think that she is like 25 years old now?….O.K. I saw from the pageant banner at the end of this video that this pageant was in 2013, so Codi would have been 19 years old then.
Here are some of my favorite viewer comments:
Something to keep in mind, is that Polish women age very well, they keep their looks for a very long time. And these women are willing to work, you could get one of them and put them to work right away doing book keeping, working at a bank, being an office administrator, dispatcher, dental hygienist, beautician, bartender, or stripper.
Two Very Funny, Short, YouTube Videos
It has been very, very cold and windy in Dickinson, North Dakota lately. I choose to not go outside or go anywhere unless I have to, like move my vehicle to a different spot further down the street so that it doesn’t get ticketed again by the Dickinson Police, and threatened to be towed. But if I actually left my apartment and went anywhere, the Dickinson Police would get me, the Meth addicts would get me, or the hoodlums would get me. Read the Dickinson Press newspaper Police Blotter.
I spend a lot of time watching YouTube videos: Dixie Cryptid and Brenton Sawin Mysteries To Search about Bigfoot; Scotty Kilmer about cars and car repair; and Nika Banana to see what she is doing and leave her annoying comments. But in between I watch a lot of random videos about new discoveries, the history you don’t know, abandoned places, unexplained mysteries, badly behaving people, and funny animals.
Below I am including two of the funniest animal videos that I have ever seen:
What Living In Dickinson, North Dakota Is Like, Like Being In Prison
In many previous blog posts, I have mentioned that living in Dickinson, North Dakota is like being in prison. I want to give a recent example.
I have been working at a particular job site outside of Dickinson for a little over one year. For the first eight months that I was at this job site, there were just a few employees from the company that I work for, and we had our own office trailer. The employees that had been here before I got here, they had set things up, and they had established the rule that everything was going to be kept clean.
The refrigerator, the microwave, counter tops, floor, and outside portable toilet were all kept clean. We each cleaned, purchased cleaning supplies, and took out the garbage. Something that was very important, was that my co-workers had installed some insulation around the outside portable toilet, and inside the portable toilet there was a small electric heater beside the toilet seat.
For several years prior to me arriving at this job site, the few company employees that were here, they had made it through several winters where the temperature got down to -20, -30, -40 degrees Fahrenheit. Once they even got snowed in, where they couldn’t drive home, and they had to stay here in the office trailer, which was O.K., because they set it up for people to be able to stay overnight if they had to. When it got really, really cold, the electric heater inside of the portable toilet was left running all the time, which kept it at about 40 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
Five months ago, due to increased work activity at this site, my company personnel got moved to a different location on this site. We no longer had the use of the office trailer. Due to many personnel changes, I became the only person on this entire site, who had ever been here through the winter, and knew that workers had been snowed in here before.
When it got to be November this year, where the temperature began to drop below 20 degrees Fahrenheit, I installed an electric heater inside the portable toilet that we were using, at a height of about two feet above the toilet seat, and two feet to the left of the toilet seat. I brought my own 3500 Watt portable electric generator, which costs about $500 new, to power the electric heater. I had to buy a poly containment basin to place the generator in per site regulations regarding fuel and oil spills containment.
Within about one week, it was reported to me, that someone tried to urinate into the electric heater inside of the portable toilet. Someone used the portable toilet, and right after he exited the portable toilet, two of my co-worker saw that he had urinated all over the back wall and bench seat of the portable toilet. One of my co-workers thought that he had had an accident, where the zipper got stuck on his overalls. The other co-worker was certain that he had deliberately tried to urinate into the electric heater. How could you accidentally urinate two feet up on the walls of the portable toilet?
I explained to my co-workers, not to let anyone vandalize this portable toilet and electric heater. Though it might not seem that important now, it will be when it gets down to -20, -30, -40 degrees Fahrenheit.
The next thing to get abused and misused was my 3500 Watt electric generator. When I wasn’t around, people began putting garbage in the containment basin that the generator was sitting in. The generator fuel valve was left on, some other things were done to it, and it wouldn’t start. When I removed the generator oil tank filler cap, a bunch of fuel came out of the oil tank.
I took my generator home and I spent several hours working on it to get it to run again. I got it to where it would start on the first pull of the starter cord. I kept it on my truck, not being able to decide if I could leave it there on the job site without someone messing it up again. Then, I was notified by my co-workers, that someone had ruined my electric heater that I had installed inside of the portable toilet, to where it wouldn’t work at all now.
I thought to myself, what kind of people, deliberately urinate into an electric heater that is two feet above, and two feet to the left of the toilet seat? This week it has gotten to below zero degrees Fahrenheit at this job site, and it is only going to keep getting colder. Why would site personnel try to destroy the only heated toilet anywhere on site that they could use?
Meanwhile, there is a small prefabricated building with no electricity to it, that has a small propane heater. When the small propane heater is set on low or medium, it keeps the small building at about 60 degrees inside, when it is 20 degrees and windy outside. A particular co-worker, has been found several times to be setting the propane heater to high, and then complaining about how hot it is inside this building.
Two co-workers have explained to this one co-worker, to stop setting the propane heater to high, because he has caused the small three to five gallon propane tank to run out of propane in a day or two, instead of this propane tank lasting four or five days if the heater was set on low. We began using larger size propane tanks, but this one co-worker is still being found to be setting the propane heater on high, and then complaining about how hot it is inside of this small building that we use. We are now completely out of propane, having nothing to heat this small building with now, or in an emergency.
My point is, that I can’t believe how these people in North Dakota are deliberately sabotaging the facilities that we use. This kind of primitive, ignorant, destructive behavior is like something you would find in a prison amongst criminals. It’s like these people in Dickinson are so fucking stupid, ignorant, and criminal minded, that they destroy and sabotage the things that they need to use, only making their own personal situation even worse.
As frustrated as I am, I realize that probably about 60% of the North Dakotans who read this will think, “Heh, heh, that is what I would do too. Pee into the electric heater, and run the propane heater out of propane. Yeah, that is what I would do.”
Be Careful With Your Debit Card In Dickinson, North Dakota
One of the things that I previously explained on this blog website, is the danger of allowing automatic deductions from your checking account to pay monthly bills. Every year I have read in newspapers about a utility company debiting a checking account for $10,000 for a water bill or an electric bill, causing a person’s checking account to be brought down to a $0 balance, and every other check written on their account to “bounce” or “NSF” for non-sufficient funds.
The reason why these $10,000 debits by utility companies to people’s checking accounts made the news, was because when the customer disputed their bill which was obviously a mistake, the utility company responded with a letter saying something like, “We have looked into this matter, and found no error in our billing, the charges are correct.” Only after a newspaper or television station reported on these stories did the utility company respond with a statement like, “We regret this situation, which was the result of a misunderstanding, and these charges have been corrected.”
But another way that all of the money can be removed from your checking account, is by an error when using your debit card. A couple of weeks ago I was in the check out line at a store in Dickinson. The customer ahead of me had a quantity of various supplies, which totaled about $60. One of the items had an incorrect product code, and when the cashier scanned the item product code and entered in the quantity, the total came out to something like $3,460.
The cashier was paying attention, and she said, “No, that can’t be right.”, and she stopped the transaction herself, and she began trying to correct and determine what had gone wrong. But many times in Dickinson, I have been at the check out line and the cashier does not look at or tell the customer what the total is when the customer is paying with a debit card.
If you weren’t paying attention and accepted a $3,460 charge to your debit card, depending on how much money you had in your checking account, you might begin “bouncing” or “NSF-ing” checks for your rent, mortgage, car payments, car insurance, credit cards payments, and other bills. You would likely be in a lot of trouble, because everyone you owed money to would just assume that you were unable and unwilling to pay them, and they likely wouldn’t care what kind of story or explanation you gave them.
But a second reason why you need to pay attention when using your debit card in Dickinson happened to me last night. I placed a carry out order on the telephone with a restaurant in Dickinson. The person on the telephone was having a little bit of difficulty with my very simple order. She asked me if I wanted to pay with a debit card, or pay when I got there. I said that I would pay when I got there.
When I arrived at this restaurant to pick up my carry out food order, and I tried to pay, the cashier was having a problem, because my order was listed in their system as having already been paid. A manager was called over, and she realized what had happened. The manager called the employee over who had taken my order over the telephone, and when I saw her, and the way that she was acting, she was the epitome of a meth addict with everything about her, her appearance, and the flighty, skittish way that she was acting.
What had happened, according to the manager, was the women who had taken my order over the telephone, she charged my order to someone else’s debit card or credit card. I don’t know how she managed this, but she did. When I got home with my food order, which was a very simple food order, it was wrong. I realized that in giving a person like this my debit card or credit card information over the telephone, I could end up having my debit or credit card used to pay for someone else’s order, or instead of being charged $14.85, she could have entered $148.50, or even $1,485.00.
When your debit card is incorrectly charged, it’s not just being overcharged that is the problem, it’s being overcharged to the extent that your rent payment, car payment, utility bills, credit card bills, car insurance, and other payments could “bounce” or “NSF” causing you all kinds of problems.
Winter Preparedness And My $1,000 Trip To The Killdeer Mountains
A year and a half ago I began driving to a wooded valley in the Killdeer Mountains on the Fort Berthold Native American Reservation. I happened upon this valley when I was working for an oil field service company, working on oil well sites. When I first saw this valley, it really amazed me because in the six years that I have lived in North Dakota, I had never seen a forest.
When I was in the High Plains Cultural Center in the town of Killdeer, I read a pamphlet about the Killdeer Mountains. Because of the mountain peaks shielding the deep valleys, it created a mini-ecosystem, where this is one of the few or only locations in North Dakota where Burr Oak trees grow. Native Americans lived in these valleys of the Killdeer Mountains for more than a thousand years where they prospered because of the forests, the wildlife living in these forests, and being shielded from the high winds of the Dakota prairies.
In this valley, I had seen turkeys, deer, and wild horses. I had also been told by one of my co-workers, that different people, including him, had felt like they were being watched from the trees by something, to the extent that he and others refused to work in this area by themselves. This was probably Bigfoot, I looked up Bigfoot sightings in North Dakota, and there have been many Bigfoot sightings on the Fort Berthold Native American Reservation. Why wouldn’t they be in these hidden valley forests with all of these turkeys and deer to eat?
After this past summer was over, I had not felt like driving up to the Killdeer Mountains. I had a long drive to and from work every day, and I didn’t feel like driving on Highway 22 any more if I didn’t have to. I was also not in the mood to have something go wrong out there, there are all kinds of things that can happen, and you are a very long way from getting help.
A friend of mine who is in his sixties, is a very enthusiastic long-time hunter and trapper in North Dakota, Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming. I asked him if he wanted to drive up to the Killdeer Mountains with me, and he said that he did. The first time that I felt like going and he was in town, was Monday December 24.
The vehicle that I wanted to take, has full-time four-wheel-drive, and it also has differential locks, which lock each wheel so that there is no limited-slip non-four-wheel-drive bullshit going on when you don’t want to get stuck. It has new, deep tread, 31 inch off-road tires. It has never had any mechanical problems whatsoever.
In this vehicle, I have about four tow ropes, a two-ton cable come-along, a jump start box with air compressor, a large can of fix-a-flat, a shop jack and an emergency jack, a set of tools, a spare tire and wheel, another spare tire, coolant, engine oil, bottles of water, an extra winter jacket, extra clothes, gloves, a sleeping bag, a pistol, a rifle, and a mountain bike. And I made sure that my phone had nearly a full charge before we left. Later on in this story, you will see that all of this stuff was still not enough.
I set my trip odometer before we left Dickinson, to let my friend know how many miles it was from Dickinson to the turn off from Highway 22. I set my trip odometer again at the turn off from Highway 22 to get the distance to the next turn off. I pointed out to my friend, the houses that were the closest places to go to if there was some kind of emergency.
When we got to the turn off leading to the valley that I wanted to go to, there was snow on the ground and on the road, even though North Dakota had just gone through a one week period where the daytime high was about 40 degrees Fahrenheit. I slowed down and tried to drive carefully on the winding, up and down, red scoria oil field road.
When I got to the “Y” in the road where I wanted to turn to go down into the valley, to my surprise, there was now a fence and a locked gate across the road. I couldn’t believe it, though I had always feared that this would happen. I had written two or three blog posts about this valley, showed pictures of it, and made a couple of videos showing it. My first impression now was that the Native American who owned the land on the west side of the road had unlawfully closed off this road, to keep people out, even though there was Bureau of Land Management public land on the east side of this road.
I stopped and thought about this, and I tried to figure out what was going on. Could it be that the Bureau of Land Management put up this fence and this locked gate to keep people from using this road, because too many people had gone down this road but couldn’t get back out having to drive uphill through deep snow?
I called a friend of mine who had been to this area before I ever had, and he said that no, this road shouldn’t be closed, that it was designated as a public use trail to access the BLM land. Did the fence and the gate have any BLM signage or North Dakota Game & Fish signage, he asked? I said no, it doesn’t. My friend who I called on the phone said, well then, that’s your answer about who put that fence and gate up, a private land owner did that.
I looked around the area of the gate to see if there was another way to get in, but there wasn’t at this spot. I had a vague idea from having looked at Google Earth satellite imagery that there were trails that wound around, going downhill, and reached the valley at different points, but these trails were on private land.
The friend that was with me, said that he would like to drive down an underground pipeline easement, so we drove down an easement for about a mile. We turned off of this pipeline easement to see about taking another trail, but I didn’t want to go on other trails for a couple of different reasons.
Going on a trail that I did not know, it was possible to go down a hill that was so steep, that I would not be able to climb back up it on the way back. Or, I could end up sliding off of a trail into a ravine, and there would be no way to get my vehicle out. I was also concerned that the landowner could have spiked the trail in order to flatten the tires of trespassers driving on his property.
Before long, we were back on the red scoria oil field road, and I found that my right rear tire was completely flat. This tire had a cut across the face and the sidewall of the tire, like only a jagged piece of metal sticking out of the ground could have caused. The tire bead had separated from the wheel. I had to jack up the rear axle to get the tire off the ground to try to get the bead to seal when I used my can of Fix-A-Flat on the tire. This didn’t work at all, the tire bead didn’t seal or the tire cut was too big.
I got my spare tire out from under the vehicle, and I replaced the rear wheel with my spare tire. When I lowered the rear axle back down and removed the jack, the spare was half-way flat, and it appeared to be getting flatter. I connected my air-compressor to the spare tire to try to inflate it, but it just kept deflating. I had already used my can of Fix-A-Flat.
It was now almost dark, and it was December 24, Christmas Eve. I felt that all I could do was get hauled on a flat bed tow truck back to Dickinson. I knew from working in the oil field on the Fort Berthold Native American Reservation, that any vehicle left unattended overnight in a remote area will get stripped and destroyed, so I couldn’t just try to get a ride back to Dickinson and leave my vehicle. I knew that the friend of mine that came along with me would probably like to get back to Dickinson without any more problems.
I called a tow company in Dickinson, the tow truck driver had worked in the oil field, and he knew where the turn off was at Highway 22. I told him that I would meet him out at the paved road, because there was no way he was going to be able to find me out on the winding scoria road in the dark. I completely destroyed my spare tire, and possibly the wheel, driving it flat for several miles on the scoria road back to the paved road where the tow truck driver could see me.
The flat bed tow back to Dickinson was $510, and I knew ahead of time that it would be this much or even more. On the following Wednesday the replacement tire for my badly cut tire was $250. The spare tire that I destroyed and the wheel that I may have destroyed will be another $250. Altogether about $1,000.
Knowing that this kind of thing can happen, I had tow insurance coverage on this vehicle, but I don’t know if the insurance company will try to get out of paying for the tow all the way back to Dickinson, instead of Killdeer.
I didn’t mention in this story yet, that on a fairly safe looking trail, my full-time four-wheel-drive vehicle got nearly sideways on some snow that must have turned to ice. If I had not recovered from this slide, which I very nearly didn’t, my vehicle would have slid down into a ravine, about thirty feet down. The only way to have gotten my vehicle out then, would have been with a four-wheel-drive tow truck with a heavy duty commercial winch. This might have cost $1,000, and I don’t think that insurance would have paid for this.
My lesson from this, is that in the Winter in North Dakota, you want to try to do everything you can to not have problems. Don’t take chances driving, especially off road. I got off very lucky, and this still cost me $1,000. I could have gotten stuck much further back in the woods, or I could have slid into a ravine, where a tow truck company might have been unable or unwilling to try to recover my vehicle. Leaving a vehicle unattended overnight in a remote area, can result in your vehicle being stripped, vandalized, or destroyed. So don’t get yourself into this position to begin with.
