Grrrr! The Feeling Is No Doubt Mutual

Posted on October 11, 2023 by Andy

Quick update – today I received noticed from Grrrgle that my identity verification was denied. Despite my intense dislike for these folks, I get it that sometimes things don’t go as planned. What got under my skin was this same notice informed me I have “ONE MORE CHANCE” to verify my id. Really? Like it is my fault they didn’t get exactly what they wanted, how they wanted it. I did my best. Their system accepted my id and I checked – it was clear. Now I did try submit one that was a bit hard to read and their system rejected it so… what the heck went wrong. Typical of 8,000 lb Grrrillas like Grrrgle, they don’t explain. They don’t have to. All they need to do is turn their thumbs up or down depending on whatever suits their mood.

I resubmitted using a different method. We’ll wait and see what happens. Oi.

New Venture and Yet Another Reason to Hate Grrrgle

Posted on October 10, 2023 by Andy

An now a word from our sponsor…

Not really, but the above kinda suggests I’m going “off topic” for a moment. I expect to post something more relevant to Liberty in a day or so. Meanwhile, I’ve been sidelined somewhat lately as I’ve taken up chess again. Part of my reasoning is I want to finally establish a proper rating (with the USCF and elsewhere I only have a “provisional” rating due to a lack of rated games to me credit.) To be rated in the USCF (United States Chess Federation) one must play rated games and to play rated games one must typically have to play in tournaments. Well, around these parts I’ve faced a bit of a challenge finding anybody to play with face to face (aka OTB or over the board). Being naturally anti-social doesn’t help me much. It was over 20 years ago when I established

Please pray for Israel. Pray for those affected by this war on either or no side of the conflict.

Now on Rumble and Youtube – Andy’s Armchair Adventures!

Posted on October 10, 2023 by Andy

Well that was exciting. Please don’t too critical. This is my first effort to produce and post a video and it is only the introduction! I put a short, short, short (short than me – a low bar indeed!) intro with me in it. I’ve always been camera shy so it was a stretch. Now…

Wanderings and My Triumphant Return!

Posted on October 6, 2023 by Andy

Okay, well if the subject lines sounds a bit pretentious and dramatic, there’s a reason for that. It is! If you’ve ever met me in person you might just realize this is just my wacko sense of humor (or what I call it anyway) slipping out. So anyway, I really have been “wandering” so to…

Test Post

Posted on October 6, 2023 by Andy

Long story short, I was cross posting this blog to my writer’s website – AMHavens.com but the system “burped” when I had to make some changes at my web host.

While I’m not so sure how great this cross-posting really is, at least anyone visiting my writing site will know I really AM writing! 🙂

Moreover, I do have plans for some posts only on that site so if you haven’t visited there yet, you might want to mosey over some day.
