The FBI Arrested My Girlfriend
I dated her and grew suspicious, and then the FBI got involved.

I've mentioned this several times in passing, and people have asked for the story, so here it is! BTW, this was my last date... February 4th, 2015.

My "horrorscope" keeps saying someone from my past will resurface to heal old wounds. I just can't imagine. #closure #horoscope

This was a text from a friend. He shared this after reading my story about the FBI arresting my girlfriend.
😕😕😕
For those of us who watched the movie Final Destination, it makes me wonder if this wasn't one of those moments.

Her: I'd love to get together with you sometime.
Me: Have you read any of my stories?
Her: No. Should I?
Me: I write honestly about my life, so read them, and if you still want to go out, I'm game.
Her: Okay.
That was a month ago today, and I've not heard one peep from her. 🤣🤣🤣

Yesterday at a Halloween event, I saw one of my young friends who has the last name Crowe. I saw her and yelled, “ONE!”
Everyone was confused!
I said: I came as a music agent!
Everyone was confused! [1/2]

Been a busy month... just got back home to maintenance and security tearing the neighbor's door down... apparently she superglued the lock on her apartment and another neighbor's (who stole her man!) before turning in her keys. They mentioned an arrest warrant for "destruction of property." #drama

Charlie Kirk has been shot and killed. (*cough* Thoughts and prayers *cough*)
Here's the question, was it another MAGA or a gay lover? (I'm betting on a gay lover.)

Watching Star Wars 4 and the scene where Emperor Palpatine (Darth Sidious) tells Luke, "Strike down your father and your journey to the dark side will be complete," and I immediately thought of my ex and her kids. 🤣🤣🤣

Blind Date by Jerzy Kosinski - I read it when it came out in 1977 (48 years ago), It's an erotic thriller that still haunts me! Read it and it will stay with you for the rest of your life.
