I Guess Geico Just Put a Price on Our Privacy

Most people will not even care about this. Most people say “ah whatever.”

But oh my frigging God and Goddess, how many things are we going to say “ah whatever,” about?

When I first got my car insurance policy with Geico for my new car, it was 2020. The monthly bill was like $134.00. No big deal.

One of the reasons why it was that price was because somehow they scammed me into paying this Florida renter’s insurance for 12 per month. When I decided to stop paying for that unnecessary coverage, my insurance bill went up to 145.00.

And that’s where it stayed until two months ago. They raised it another $4 per month for “necessary costs.”

I paid $149 last month, and today, I received my policy renewal.

The monthly cost is now $184.00!!!!

I just called them. How the hell did my monthly payments increase by almost $40? My driving record is flawless! Aren’t we going in the wrong direction?

She said I could save $20 per month if I download the Geico Easy Driving App, but here’s the catch. Through that app, Geico knows everything you do in the car. If you tailgate, if you speed, if you break too hard, if you do anything they don’t think is safe they’ll know and it will negatively affect your Easy Driving App Score.

I can save $20 per month if I download this app, and remember to always take my phone with me when I drive so Geico can track me, because I drive without my phone, they’ll drop me from the savings program.

So, it no longer matters if you avoid getting tickets from the police, and it no longer matters if you manage to avoid getting into accidents, because Geico has their own evaluation of you.

So you decide. Is your privacy worth $20 per/month?

WHAT THE FUCK!

I know people who been in accidents and have tickets and they pay $220 per month. If I god forbid got into an accident or got a ticket, I probably wouldn’t be able to afford car insurance.

Again, I get the shit end of the stick. Well, this is the type of day its been, I mean if it wasn’t for the weather I’d be in a gray gloomy hell!

And I’m an angel.

Moon Scope; Spring Love..

Hey, I’m starting to realize something. If you noticed, the last two times I wrote a Moon-Scope, I did an analysis for both the East and West at 10 PM, because I found it interesting that I could do a house analysis on the same house at two different times.

Right? Like the Moon can be in the same house at two different times. LOL I don’t know I think that was amazingly cool, but here’s what I realized. Because I’ve been doing the reading for 10 PM East coast time, I noticed that at 10 PM when the Moon begins its transit into a new sign, it’s in the succeeding house.

When I did the Moon-Scope for Leo, the Moon was in the 9th house at 10 PM, when it entered Virgo it was in the 10th house at 10 PM, and now, the Moon will be in Libra this evening in the 11th house at 10 PM. Lets talk about the Moon/Libra blend first.

🌖♎

Libra is an air sign, and its ruling planet is Venus, the Goddess of love, beauty, and harmony. It’s symbolized by the Scales of balance and justice, and the key phrase for this sign is, “I Balance.” Libra is artistic, easygoing and all about peace, and because its natural home is in the 7th house, it also deals with partnerships and marriages. In Libra, the Moon is comfortable. The easygoing and peaceful side of Libra complements the Moon’s patience.

Hidden deep in your subconscious mind will be thoughts concerning partnerships. It’s a good time to think about the groups you belong to, and your devotion to your significant other. If you’re single, this is the perfect time to look for someone because there’s a good chance the person you meet now, could end up being your rock! Everything is aligned; it’s the spring season, and the spring is all about newness and freshness. It’s a time of love and creation.

If you’re in a relationship, you might begin to start thinking about your partner in terms of compatibility. Do you work together? Is it a healthy partnership? Is it toxic. Is it 50/50 (balance)? If you’re really in love, marriage might pop up.

The Moon🌖 in Libra♎ in the 11th House 🏠.

The Moon blends with the cardinal intellectual, Libra, and the energies will manifest in the arena friends, hopes and wishes, and long-term pleasure. The time to start thinking about your future in now. What is it that you want to achieve? Go deep within and find a vision that best represents the type of future you want for yourself. Then, take a look at your life as it is currently; your work, your professional standing, and the partner your with or the partner you would like to be with.

When it’s 10:00 PM on the East Coast this evening, it will be 7:00 PM on the West Coast, but the Moon will be in the 11th house. Because Libra is a cardinal sign, the manifestation of your hopes and wishes become visible. Look at your social media accounts, and make sure you’re representing yourself and conducting yourself accordingly. Make sure you’re happy with the image you’re creating for yourself, and more importantly, make sure that image promotes the type of future you want for yourself. They say there’s strength in numbers so if joining a group or a professional organization will help you get to where you need to go, then search for one that advances your agenda.

Networking, intellectual stimulation, and partnerships of all kinds are on the table now. Be smart, think smart, and remember, Libra says, “I Balance.” You should find balance in your life through the partnerships you make. If something is off, then you need to change it.

Libra rules snakes, and in every group there’s a snake. The snake likes to gossip, start trouble, and basically, be an asshole. To your face they say, “you can trust me,” but you really can’t. The Moon in Libra gives you a calm, cool, and smart way of dealing with this person or people. And if all else fails, the choice to leave and begin new and fresh somewhere else, or with another person, group or job is ultimately yours to make.

Love and beauty are highlighted, and I can hear Stevie B singing now, “Spring love, come back to me..” You’ll have the future you want when there’s harmony between you and the people you interact with, and harmony becomes possible when you find that right balance.

Luck Numbers: 6 and 9

Bring the opal stones out if you have them, and wear something bluish or purplish.

Moon Scope; Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

Wednesday April 13, 2022

On Tuesday, April 12th, the moon slides into the sign of purity represented by the virgin, Virgo. The moon will transit Virgo for three days, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, but I picked Wednesday to do this moon-scope because Wednesday is a lucky day for Virgo.

There are different ways of getting what we want. When the moon was in Leo, Leo provided the will power and energy to stay in the game for a desired outcome, but with Virgo, the focus turns more to sensibility instead of that raw energetic emotional drive. An already receptive moon gains flexibility here. If you want to get to point A, but the path is blocked, be flexible instead of rushing through. Go around. I think Virgo is almost a perfect compliment to the moon, they have a lot in common.

The Moon🌖 in Virgo ♍ in the 10th house🏠.

When it’s 10:00 PM her on the east coast, it will be 7:00 PM on the west coast, but the Moon will be on the 19th degree of Virgo in the 10th House.

The key phrase for Virgo is “I Analyze,” and by nature, Virgos are conscientiousness, they seek to know. The combination of the Moon’s energy in the astrological sign of Virgo manifests in the arena of career and public standing.

Take a good long and hard look at your career. Is it right for you? Does it enable you to get out of life what you want? How does it affect your image in the eyes of the public? During this transit, you seek to know how people view you in relationship to your career.

This is also the perfect time to look for a new job if that’s what you want. Try to find what’s right for you. Am I happy where I’m at, or do I want something else? Those are the questions you seek to find answers for.

Lucky numbers are 5 and 3, and that will be in effect for as long as the Moon is in Virgo. That’s three days, and they say third times the charm. If there’s a pick 3 lottery in your state, play 305 in any combination for those three days. Who knows, maybe you’ll pick a winner!

Stealing a Page Out of Smorgasbord?

I’m calling bullshit on this, and if they’re giving him credit for coining the phrase, Generation Alpha, then I want the credit for coining the phrase “Generation Alif” named after the first letter of the Arabic Alphabet. Generation Alif would be those born from 2011 to 2026, a fifteen year period. I discussed that in my book. I don’t know Mark McCrindle personally, but his book, Generation Alpha was published on April 28, 2021, according to Amazon. That’s 2 months after Smorgasbord A Collection of Thoughts Experiences and Stories hit the shelves, yet he claims his inspiration for writing his book came from 2008? I Doubt it. What took so long? Olympia Publishers in London received a full copy of my complete manuscript on June 1st 2020, almost one full year before Mark’s book came out.

Francis Joseph LaManna

I don’t know, and so I’m not going to accuse, but it seems awfully funny how all of a sudden they’re giving credit to this guy, Mark McCrindle, for coining the term Generation Alpha, for those born between the early to mid 2010s to the mid 2020s to early 2030s, or whatever his years are.

If you bought Smorgasbord A Collection of Thoughts Experiences and Stories, then you’ll see the chapter titled LAMANNA (written in Greek letters) with the picture underneath that says Generation X.

In that chapter, which of course, was of my own original creation with an original thought process on how those generational years could or would align, and how they could be termed according to alphabets from around the world.

I don’t know when that Wikipedia article was published, although it was just edited 10 days ago, and there’s a lot of sources at the bottom of the page that are either right around the time my book was in publication or after it was available for purchase. The Wikipedia link is below.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_Alpha

That Wikipedia article is claiming that the original idea of Generation Alpha came from a survey in 2008, conducted by an Australian consulting agency called McCrindle Research, which he conveniently is the cofounder of.

He’s also claiming his inspiration came from his own book, The ABC of XYZ published in 2009. Maybe it did.

But something is definitely not right here.

I wrote my chapter in my book without any sources because all my thoughts were original. I’d like to see this original survey conducted by McCrindle Research from 2008. I’d also like to see proof that McCrindle Research was an official company registered back in 2008.

And even if all that is proven, I’m still calling bullshit on this. If he’s getting credited for coining Generation Alpha, then I should be credited for coining the term “Generation Alif” named after the first letter of the Arabic Alphabet. Generation Alif would be those born from 2011 to 2026, a fifteen year period. I’d be more than happy to share my thought process behind writing that chapter, and how I arrived at my discovery.

Like I said, I don’t know Mark McCrindle personally, and there’s no way my manuscript was compromised while at Fulton Books, however, Olympia Publishers, located in London, did receive a full copy of my completed manuscript way before his book was published. I sent the full complete manuscript for Smorgasbord on June 1, 2020, to Olympia. Maybe the leak is there. I’ll figure it out sooner or later, and this is not a far reach.

The Road Less Traveled

I’ve never really been into this blog, or the books I write because I wanted popularity or fame. Whatever comes from it, I’m willing to accept because hosting a blog and writing books are outlets that have opened up for me. Yes, there was a time when this road was closed, and I knew I had the ability to write when I was 6-years-old, but it took 40 years for me to write my first book.

We live in a country where we have the right to speak our minds, and share our opinions and feelings as right or wrong as some people think that is. And that’s what I do. I do it through blogging and posting videos and through writing books. Believe me, it’s not easy, and I know a lot of people understand that. I think the dialogue has evolved over the years, but there was a time when people were called crazy, they were told they lost their minds, and some have even lost their jobs for saying they saw a UFO. I just heard the Russian government wouldn’t even allow the public to talk about UFOs until 1989, but this isn’t about UFOs.

Understand, anytime you have an open mind, there will always be people who will try to fill it with bullshit they’re selling as truth. If you’re an independent thinker, and you have you’re own way of arriving at conclusions you believe in or information you find true, there will always be someone there to tell you it’s false.

It’s not an easy road, but nothing ever worth having comes easy. Of course, I can put the television on and watch sports on the weekend, or tune into the news hosted by CBS, MSNBC, Fox, or CNN, but that’s what everybody does, and so that’s what’s considered “normal.”

I’m gonna keep walking this path though.

They say every road that led to hell was paved with good intentions; Now, I don’t know where this one will end, but when I get there, at least I can say, shit, this was my decision. This is the real road less traveled.

🤞🗽❤

Revisiting the Gaslight

You’re having a conversation with someone and they say, “Call me whenever you have time.”

And you respond, “Okay, I’ll call you later.”

And then they say, “What are you talking about, I didn’t tell you to call me.”

Gaslighting is someone’s intentional attempt at making you question yourself. Are they trying to make you seem crazy? Maybe. I don’t know and I can’t say what their intent is, but you’ll know.

Heart of Gold

I’m going out on a limb here, so just follow me for a second. People have always said or expressed their opinions about something special in the one of the front paws of the Sphinx.

I guess lets start with Neil Young’s song, “Heart of Gold.”

We have a heart of gold, a golden heart, or just the connection between heart and gold.

Next, if you look at constellation Leo, or if you’re already an Egyptian enthusiast, then you will know Regulus is the brightest star of the constellation. Regulus is also known as the heart of the lion, but it’s not anywhere near where the heart would be.

If you look at how the star dots are connected, Regulus is where the front paw would be.

I’m going out on a limb here, and I’m going to say there’s gold buried under one of the front paws of the Sphinx.

Now, if I could only get over there..

❤🦁🐱😻😹❤💛♌

This doesn’t have anything to do with the above post, but I noticed Joe Biden and I have our North Node on the star Regulus at 29 degrees in our birth charts. The North and the South Nodes of the moon are also referred to Cauda Draconis and Caput Draconis. The North Node is, Cauda Draconis, which is Latin for “head of the dragon” and the South Node is Caput Draconis, which is Latin for the “tail of the dragon.”

So, to have your North Node exactly on Regulus, is a special alignment because that nodal point is where the moon crosses the ecliptic or the path of the sun. It has and it will continue to be interpreted in many different ways. Personally, I think it signifies, through proper action of course, the capability or at least the possibility of bringing into alignment the head with the heart. It’s the mind-body connection only needing the spirit to be complete.

Check your charts to see where your nodal points are.

Before I end this post, I would like to thank all of you; friends, followers, fans, Joe Biden (lol just kidding) and supporters. Nooz Buffet just his 10,000 views tonight, and I think that’s awesome, and of course, only possible because of you. Thank you, I love you all, and I appreciate your support.

The Sun’s Transit into Taurus

We have eight more days of the Sun in Aries. According to most sources supporting the Tropical Zodiac, the Sun will begin its transit through the astrological sign, Taurus on April 20th. Keep in mind, in the Tropical Zodiac, astrological signs and actual constellations don’t always align, but that’s not an issue.

So, the Sun enters Taurus on the 20th day of April. The symbol representing Taurus is the bull, and a bull can be both fierce and gentle. Aries is where the zodiac commences in the 1st house, so Taurus would be the natural 2nd house. The sun’s energies and qualities blend with that of Taurus and the combination manifests in the arena of possessions. What do you have?

Taurus is a feminine earth sign that’s fixed, and those born under this sign will be celebrating their birthdays between April 20th and May 20th.

Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and harmony, rules over Taurus, which is kind of funny because we don’t think of love and beauty when we think about bulls, but in terms of the house the bull rules, it fits quite perfectly. In the house of possessions we acquire those things we consider beautiful or that which we love because they bring a sense of harmony into our lives and our environment. And the key word there is sense because Taurus is an earth sign, and the element of earth is about sensibility where happiness is gained through flexibility.

There’s a connection between what we possess (2nd house) and beauty (Venus) and our senses (earth). Does it smell good? Does it look good? Does it sound good? Does it feel good? You get the point.

For those of us who are born when the sun was in Taurus, we have the will power and energy to fill our lives with everything pleasing. To go after our love! And that’s the struggle for the bull who is seen as a ferocious creature. To show the world that looks are deceiving, and I’m not the man or woman I appear to you to be. There’s more to me. Love and money are in focus here.

Happy Birthday Season to all you Bulls out there!

❤🌞🗽♉🤞

Moon Scope; “Hold on Loosely, but Don’t Let Go”

April 10, 2022

Today, the moon entwines with the Lion. If you’re in a relationship where you’re now holding on because you’re on the fence about something, you’re being asked to stick it out. Leo can be quite fixed in his ways, but that’s not always a bad thing. Sometimes we hear something that upsets us, and as a result, we’ll make a rushed decision.

In Leo, the moon will have a reason to let the storm blow over, and make a better decision when the time is right.

Do something for yourself tonight that makes you feel glamorous and good. You can be expressive with flair, and maybe that’s through words, writing, or new clothing.

Tonight, when it’s 10:00 PM on the east coast, it will be 7:00 PM on the west coast, but the moon will be in Leo in the 9th house. The discussion focuses on going back to school to further your education, or enrolling for the first time as an undergraduate. Traveling is also on the agenda, so if you have ideas about taking a trip this spring or summer that’s perhaps across the country or to a foreign country, tonight is the perfect night to bring all that up. It’s already the 10th of April!

Secrets and anything hidden from you comes to the surface tonight. As 38 Special said, “hold on loosely, but don’t let go.”
