I am not supersized. Presently, I am in the best shape of my life due to a combination of walking nightly, occasional yoga, swimming and eating well.

I do not drive a SUV.

I prefer the windows down to A/C.

I do not attend a megachurch on Sunday.

I was born and raised in New York. You know nothing of ghettos. And honestly? No woman should ever really "cruise" through them...just a rule of thumb.

I have never been in the presence of an oiled hair preacher.

I have not been lavished upon, but I have been blessed.

I have no idea how much "goodness" I have in me. Hopefully, a respectable amount.

I do not eat fried chicken. It'll kill ya.

I do not have a mortgage.

I do not have a giant home.

I do not believe America to be the greatest nation on earth - just one of many.

I would never accept your spare change. But thank you anyway.

But other than than the above, you are correct 🙂

P.S. Did you say something about brownies? Hmmm, that was thoughtful of you. But I shall pass. No offense, but I am certain you did not bake them with love. And besides, I only indulge in desserts on the weekends 😉

Quick update on Koltin.

The family has now raised $9000 for a $5000 hearing aid and they are continuing to ask for me. (That speaks volumes)

There are 100s of charitable organizations that would have given Koltin a free hearing aid.

The parents of the children who allegedly threw the hearing aid into the lake could have been sued.

Several different types of insurance could have paid for the loss.

Instead, the family went to GoFraudMe and raised thousands more than they needed and they are still right on the site asking for more despite the fact that they had the 5000 they needed back in march.

Smells like a scam to me.

Spot on Seitse.
You got to love those Giant SUV's. Glove box big enough to hold a defibrillator.

Really Seitse? I am just sad for you. Honestly. I hope your real life is not as miserable as I think it must be. You seem to have many tightly held convictions and opinions but your delivery is just reprehensible. But I think you will work on this? Yes? 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 lol

Well, people...this has been much fun! And as usual, the haters are gonna hate

You are obviously a gentleman. What a rarity. lol I read in one of your posts about how you came to find yourself online after the passing of your beloved wife. Just a heartfelt, honest post from you and yet you got thumbs down and some callous comments from a few if I recall. I have no idea what is wrong with s ...[text shortened]... to your post in that way. Kind of disturbing. But all I can say is karma, karma, karma 🙂 lol

That's terrible!! What would possess anyone with an ounce of decency to disrespect a kindly old gentleman like Grampy when he's only trying to get along and to bring some kindness and goodwill to this forlorn website? It's inexcusable!

It seems that Koltin is a real child and that he did need a new hearing aid according to the local news.
They claim the hearing aids cast $5000. (seems high to me, but I do not know and do not know why insurance would not cover it.)

In a civilised country the State would pay for his hearing aid .................

Landisqueen... you are trying to fight a battle of minds and wits with the local village idiot and troll - and managing to come second! Is that really the image you want us to have of you, that of someone who is being outwitted and, Cthulhu help you, out-grammatised, by Seitse of all people? Be more careful and less naïve.

I agree.

It turns out that Koltin was given a free hearing aid as a result of the GoFraudMe his mother started. So, the great news is that she got to spend the entire $9000 that she grafted from the poor, stupid people who gave her money on herself.

Maybe she added that money to her child support check and then she and her boyfriend had a nice romantic vacation while Kolton had his week with his father.

As far as looking stupid, Landis readily admitted she had been swindled and scammed on GoFraudMe a number of times.

It wasn't engaging in idiotic reparte with seitse that made her look foolish

Interesting. Please tell me where I readily admitted this? Quote me, please.

I am not trying to fight any battles, Shallow. That's what you guys do. I do not care what "image" you have of me. Much appreciated, lol, but I do not need any of your most "helpful advice."

You and your cohorts are wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy too serious, hateful, angry for my taste. I hope in real life you are much happier than you all seem!

Andy, it's your birthday today and I genuinely hope your words "he's only trying to get along and to bring some kindness and goodwill to this forlorn website?" are in jest. If not, "trying to get along" was never priority one with respect to trolls, spammers, flamers on this forum. Why dignify their posts?

You posted yesterday:

"Last night I read a campaign about a young special needs boy who was repeatedly bullied at school. Someone stole or damaged his hearing aid and the parents were asking for donations to replace it. I sent in a modest amount"

The child in question got free hearing aids back in March.
The GoFundMe request for $5000 was filled back in March.
The women has already received almost $9000.
YET, she is still asking for more money (or her boyfriend is..wonder if his wife knows)

You do the math.

Anyway, it would appear your heart was in the right place and that you were taken advantage of by a woman and her boyfriend in Idaho using the woman's mildly disabled child as a shill.

I suspect at this point the reality of the scam is beginning to sink in. I am sorry that I had to be the one to burst your bubble. Maybe it is for the best and you will be more careful going forward.

You are not the first person to be taken advantage of on the internet and you will not be the last.
