Update: on the SHTF for us

You know, sometimes I just get tired of debate ... is there any way to "ignore" a thread?

Peace, love and miles of smiles,
doohap

Just kidding, of course ... I know I don't have to choose to read it or subscribe to it in any way ... but once in, it's hard to opt out until a satisfactory conclusion is met.

Once again, I think prayers are in order and I now opt out of this realm.

Freedom Advocates: Recognize Unalienable Rights

I'd prefer a crew cab because my mom had her leg removed a couple years back. She can get into a vehicle that has doors but the rear of a extended cab is something she has a real problem navigating.

This was posted by Kenneth barely a month ago. If, as he now claims, they only get a Christmas card from her and no other contact during the year, then why does he need a crew cab pickup truck for her convenience?

Sorry, I'm with Boleyz on this one.
The posting about the microwave stuff was INTENDED TO DECEIVE FOR FINANCIAL GAIN, and that constitutes fraud.

Bear in mind, this was not a one-time, caught in a moment of panic lie on Kenneth's part- if you read his older posts you will find that there is a pattern of inconsistencies from one post to another. This has taken place over the course of several years. You guys (mods) can ban me, too, but I agree that the integrity of the forum is at stake, and action should be taken to ensure that these posters, at least, do not have another chance to dupe the membership.

I just didn't see the relevance of your last paragraph...We've all done stupid things...agreed...I thought we were talking about fraudulent things...that's why I left it out...

BTW if ya take the Z off my handle...That IS my Name...

Last spring they were discussing the fine points of which cell phone to get; as if they weren't in the same household. How very, very odd.

http://www.homesteadingtoday.com/sho...d.php?t=118907

I say at least let them post a reply. Maybe the inconsistancies were due to the daughter (and maybe the other kids) jumping on the computer and posting with their names?

I am interested in their explaination. I still have additional questions that weren't even on this board. I was looking up what could be done with his property so that he could make it and stumbled upon even more questions...

Kenneth,

I am also interested in the land deal between you and Marshall Vandyke. Why on earth would he pay four times the going price for your land to only split off your current property from his at a "no sale"?

I am also curious how you have stayed under the radar from the county on your current mobile home? You know when they find out that you haven't been paying taxes they are going to back charge you all those years and add a penalty?

So, in April they had $246 to get a cell phone, but in August they are about to lose their mobile home?

Things that make you go
hmmmm.

I'm not a suspicious person by nature but have always wondered about 1 thing: why is Ken always needing about $25K to change his life?

My name is really BooBoo.
really......You can ask my wife,Mrs BooBoo

Ok,a little levity....

BooBoo

Nice break for a little humor! Well done!

BooBoo...Yer one of my Favorites...Do you and Mrs BooBoo have any Baby BooBoo's? Just curious....

I bet you could find some BaaBaa sheep at his place!

FWIW we mods disagree frequently, but only to be sure we're doing the right thing. Yeah it seems as if we're dragging our feet at times but really we're just trying to do our best, and that takes a bit of time. I'd like to hear from Kenneth in NC too, there's some pretty big discrepencies in his posts over the last while! If nothing else you guys should be proud of coming to Kenneth's aide.

My thanks to the moderators for letting us talk this out, at least for now. It made me feel better.

Boleyz, please point out the exact post number where your getting your charge from, I do not remember posting anything about any microwaves. Feel free to place debate, just make sure you have a foundation to speak from. You will not get removed because of debating with me, I am not vindictive because I have earned this unpaid chair.

I asked for the Vets Forum because I have experience within that area. I got suggested for the Shop Talk forum because I was answering that type of question when it was formed.

I have no trouble typing your screen name correctly, why do you insist on typing mine as 'moonpups'? The screen name is moopups, moo as in cows, pups as in little ones; I was raising calves when I got into puters.

Out of curiosity, what is your partners name? Remember that I can search the ISP numbers.

When I read the initial thread, I actually did feel very bad that someone was losing their home and considered sending a donatin. Talked it over with Cale and had it all ready to go. Then when I came back on the thread and it seemed like every person who tried to give him money-saving advice was ridiculed firmly, I was very suprised at the attitude displayed and changed my mind about mailing the donation. Something about the entire thing did not seem right to me.

When I heard about the Star/Kenneth connection I did a search of posts and found many similarities in their situations, but I was also perplexed about the seeming interaction between them as if they might possibly know each other, but no clue that they were actually married. Not that people have to tell who they are married to, but pretending to purchase and mail items does seem to be to be very misleading.

I am extremely disappointed at this turn of events. Over the years many people have freely donated to many individuals and this is the first time I feel it has gone very wrong. Taking advantage of people who may not have many financial resources themselves is awful. Do we need to ban these people? I doubt we will have to, because I don't imagine they will post here again...

Moopups,

I believe this is the thread refered to. It isn't about microwaves, but the containers being sold for use in them. Knowing their married status, (or that's the claim), it leaves more questions now then answers too.

Loosing storage building need to sell..help.

Hopes this helps clear up the microwave comment confusion.

OK MOOpups...I called your name wrong because I never looked at it closely...that yellow banner thingy distracts me...MOO is 3/4 of the word Moon...my eyes deceived me...honest error...I really thought your handle WAS "Moonpups"... a Mis-reading on my part...no offense intended...

FYI I never said that you had posted anything about microwaves...I figured when you came to the defense of Ken and Stella, you had been following the thread and had read this link to a thread which exposes their microwave utinsels "Scam"...

Loosing storage building need to sell..help.

All I was saying is that this was obviously intended to deceive in order to make a sale...Mods should oppose people who try to perpetrate scams...not ride to their rescue...

Of course, if you were unaware of this thread, than my apologies for incuding you in my remonstrance..

"Out of curiosity, what is your partners name? Remember that I can search the ISP numbers."

I have no idea what you're talking about here...By "Partner" do you mean Wife? I do have a wife, but she is not a pooter person and has no HT identification...

Search away...I don't have any "Partners" in anything going on here or in the real world...

I am curious as to why you ask....

Agreed on your first point. This is a wonderful community who has banded together to help our own at different times and for different reasons. That someone take advantage of members' generosity is wrong in a very basic sense

I'm not entirely convinced it started out as a scam but perhaps along the way the temptation grew too much to resist milking HT'ers a little more. What it evolved into however at the very least was deceptive and is causing members to question their generosity. Please everyone, don't question your generosity. Give from your heart and don't look back.

Boy, I wish my hubby wasn't a pooter person, but at least he's not as bad as the dog! Whew....
