Need tipid tips and advice to cut expenses but still enjoy life

2024.05.21 23:17 Specific_Substance70 Need tipid tips and advice to cut expenses but still enjoy life

I’m planning to buy a house (not sure if this is really a good decision) and I’m a bit anxious na baka hindi ko mapanindigan 🥺
I’ve grown accustomed to a certain lifestyle na comfortable. Like I order food whenever I want, I like to travel a lot (local and international), gala almost every weekend, trying new activities, bili ng kape everyday, getting a massage once a week, etc
Pero with the new house, the monthly amort will consume more than half of my salary, and this means I need to cut some costs.
Any tips po para makatipid and para maovercome po yung nakasanayan na lifestyle?
May way po ba na makatipid pero maenjoy pa rin ang life?
Iniisip ko pa lang na need ko silang ilet go, I already feel miserable.
Thank you po sa inputs and help! 🙏

2024.05.21 23:17 Aware_Examination264 My nine-month old wasn't introduced to solids at six months

Context, I'm not the actual parent, but I take care of this child majority of the day. Recently, she went to an appointment, and she came back underweight, and I didn't really think anything of it. Not really, because, averages are not specific to every child. That could just be the make-up of her body. Whatever, right?
Until my sister casually said it's probably because she doesn't eat solids, and I did a double take. Because, she's supposed to be eating solids? I knew, of it, I knew babies = messy baby food smeared all over them. My sister had once done it, even. So I knew it was a thing, but I also did not know at all. And I take care of her a majority of the time, I'm the one meant to be doing all this stuff. But I was never told, oh, at six months she should be introduced to food. My sister never said a thing. I'm too afraid to ask to be more doctor-ly involved. And maybe I should have known about it, or been looking into this, but I genuinely only saw my position as a babysitter. Like I couldn't be more involved (she already makes these uncomfortable comments about the baby thinking I'm her mom). But I didn't think, or realize it'd be like this. I may lack foresight.
But truly, I was ignorant. We'd had a baby sister, but, again, it was more like a babysitter position. Especially considering I had three other people forced to help too, along with a parent who actually took over when she was done with work. I just knew bottle feeding and diapers. I don't really recall the stress of feeding my sister solids. I don't remember doing that at all.
So, point is, baby is underweight, and it's probably because she doesn't eat solids. And me hearing this, of course, I panic. Because what do you mean she's supposed to be three months into solids? So I went online. How much is she supposed to eat at nine months? How many calories? How many for food, and how many for formula? What foods can she eat? Eating schedules (alarmingly full of food)? Upon this research, and asking more questions because my sister obviously wasn't going to say anything, I find out baby's eating even less than I thought she'd been (I thought she was having a bottle in the middle of the night). So that means she's eating less calories than I'd calculated, which means my head is on fire and I am unwell.
So I'm entirely too stressed at this point, but I just—start trying to feed her. That's all I can really do at this point. And, it's slow, and I crumble up half a cookie in her slop and she actually eats it all (definitely not a 1/4 cup like all these websites talk about). Yay! But over the next few days there's a regression. Not only in the food department. Her naps are not napping. She's not taking as many bottles. I'm panicking. I'm always in a constant state of stress and I don't want this child to be somehow stunted, or something (i don't know). I just want to put her back on track. So she can be an average little child at all her appointments.
Amidst this freakout, I babysat a little boy, ten months old (he's a screamer, but, you know, you help out when you can). The mom was surprised about the whole thing, but talking to her did help to calm me down. She said I could ask her questions, which I will be.
She'd also talked about some kind of program with the hospital , where a person comes to the house to like, do something, and she really just talked about how valuable the information was. I was like, yes, that sounds so helpful. I actually told my sister about it (I'm very hesitant to, like, involve myself outside of the apartment, but I needed help). She got suspicious and asked if I was talking shit about her to her friend. I don't think I did, but, who cares, actually. I'm struggling and you literally starve yourself to the point you have no energy to help.
But today, I tried to feed her, I have anger issues as much as my sister tbh, and I don't like messes either. I'm not proud of how I acted. It was bad, and I gave up, and I cried because I am so overwhelmed and stressed and her mother refuses to even try to feed her on the weekends, or when she gets back from work. So I feel like any progress I make is just ruined, and the next day, or Monday especially, I'm starting over and am at a loss.
I think it's been two or three weeks since I found out. Baby is now almost ten months. I don't know what to do at this point. Because this baby was supposed to be eating three months ago. I read all this stuff, I have all this information, and it's only made me paranoid and more stressed. Do I "introduce" her to foods like she's six months old? How do I feed her this certain number of calories if she suddenly won't take it? How do I attempt a schedule when her mother will come for lunch and disrupt it? Should I just feed her real people food instead of baby food? Why is she suddenly refusing the food she was OK with four days ago? Should she be finishing a whole baby food container in a day? Half? At all? I just don't know what to do. All I can think to do is try and feed her, again and again and again until three months has passed and hopefully she's eating like she should be for her age.
And we're not even addressing the sippy cup issue...
Has anyone had similar experiences in the feeding department? Or similar experiences in the stress department? I'd love to know.

2024.05.21 22:54 ConfidentCorgi7542 Savings account

NY HRA just found out some cash savings in my back account while on food stamps and cash assistance. They sent a mail to ask if I claim otherwise.
Does HRA request repayment for overpayments if they found cash savings more than 2K ?

2024.05.21 22:44 drdevilsfan Recommendations for cheap and delicious pad thai near GMU?

Hi friends,
Coming back to Nova from school and wanting to take some decent thai food back to rural PA where I am currently in grad school. I want to get pad thai at a place that is decent but also cheap and near GMU. I was shooketh when I saw that a tofu pad thai and white rice at Sisters was $21. I am also not a huge fan of Bangkok Golden either near the Giant by GMU.
If anyone has any suggestions would love to hear them! Want to try a new place. Prefer my pad thai a bit on the sweeter side.

2024.05.21 22:38 Gullible_Monitor8365 McTubbins 3:48pm May 21st

Went to the hospital last night
Her BP was 95/65
Starts the live by huffing and puffing I hate that sound
They didn't tell her what was wrong
Hemoglobin, white and red blood cells were high
Might need bp meds
I'm sure it has nothing to do w the fact that you smoke like a chimney
I swear,she lives to go to the ER
When she's bored,go to the ER When she breaks a fingernail, go to the ER
How does she know all that was high at the house,does she has a monitor?!
Her dad and brother went to her mom's, because of the no hot water issue, and she did nothing but yell at Cookie and tell her to shut the f up. Because cookie has separation anxiety when her dad and brother are not there, mostly her dad.
Try comforting the poor thing instead of yelling at her.
Smoking again When she got into it with a commenter
From 3:48 to 3:58 She has smoked two ciggys
She needs to find other ways to cope w stress
Why do you want to soundproof your room when you won't be there forever
Anyone ever notice whenever she gets into it w someone in the chat,she starts smoking?! Even if she just got done smoking?!
Fish skin BS again
Says it's a skin infection from being in the cast
No,it's from you ..you being you
You doing all the shyte you have no business doing, smoking, walking, eating like a pig..
Now she is saying she is never going back to work,doesn't know what she is gonna do,doesn't want to report to social security, bytches about the cost of stamps and envelopes but not about the cost of ciggys
She thinks she can live off of TT
She wants to wait several months, to makes sure she doesn't reinjure herself
Otherwise known as being a lazy fat arse
Sounds like her lazy fat arse is in the stolen wheelchair or maybe the walker
Poor cookie doesn't deserve to live w her abusive fat arse
Bytching about the cost of food,but not your precious cancer sticks
Had coffee and water for lunch the a bag of Cheetos I'm sure they were the family size
She would eat panda express everyday for a yr if she could,oink oink
She doesn't like beef in Chinese food
She is sitting on the ground
EOL
Anyone else think that as soon as she ends her lives she comes over here to read what has been written about her?!?
If so, hey McTubbins. Enjoy the truth.

2024.05.21 22:30 myannaise Dad in the Hospital

I am 19f and my dad has been in the ICU for two months now due to a major heart attack. It has only been me and my father. My mother isn’t present and I have no other real family that I can rely on.
I feel like i’m being selfish for wanting to complain, but this is so difficult. I can’t even imagine how my father feels, though. He is still very very sick and I am terrified of him passing. He’s my best friend and he means the world to me. I don’t even have any other friends. He’s my everything. He’s been getting a bit better, but he is still weak and it hurts seeing him so skinny from not eating.
To another point, I don’t even know what I’m gonna do financial wise. Right now, I work 25 hours a week and manage college summer classes on top of that. I need to come up miraculously with 750 USD for rent and about 600+ more USD for other bills, not including food and gas. What am I supposed to do?? I was already denied food stamps and I am not sure where to go from here. I can’t imagine losing my apartment. I’m so scared and I don’t know what to do. I just need some advice.
Internet hugs.

2024.05.21 22:09 MrBackBreaker586 Estimated vs. True Budgets – Why Many Struggle with Housing and Living Costs

The Reality of Housing and Utility Costs: Why Estimated Budgets Fall Short Across Different Income Levels

The discussion around housing affordability is increasingly relevant as home prices and utility costs continue to rise, especially near major metropolitan areas. Let's dive into a detailed comparison of estimated and true budgets for individuals earning the federal minimum wage, median income, and average income, and see how they fare in terms of affording housing and utilities close to major cities. This comparison will highlight why these budgets often fall short.

Budget Analysis

Federal Minimum Wage Scenario:

Estimated Monthly Budget: - Housing: $400 - Utilities: $100 - Food: $300 - Transportation: $100 - Healthcare: $50 - Debt Payments: $50 - Savings and Investments: $50 - Entertainment and Miscellaneous: $81
Estimated Total Monthly Expenses: $1,131
True Monthly Budget: - Housing: $400 (Shared housing or low-cost rentals) - Utilities: $367 - Food: $416 (national average) - Transportation: $400 - Healthcare: $400 - Debt Payments: $400 - Savings and Investments: $400 - Entertainment and Miscellaneous: $300
True Total Monthly Expenses: $3,083
Shortfall: $1,952 per month

Median Income Scenario:

Estimated Monthly Budget: - Housing: $1,400 - Utilities: $200 - Food: $600 - Transportation: $400 - Healthcare: $400 - Debt Payments: $400 - Savings and Investments: $400 - Entertainment and Miscellaneous: $861
Estimated Total Monthly Expenses: $4,661
True Monthly Budget: - Housing: $1,919 (average mortgage for a $400,000 home) - Utilities: $367 - Food: $416 - Transportation: $400 - Healthcare: $400 - Debt Payments: $400 - Savings and Investments: $400 - Entertainment and Miscellaneous: $300
True Total Monthly Expenses: $4,602

Average Income Scenario:

Estimated Monthly Budget: - Housing: $1,300 - Utilities: $200 - Food: $600 - Transportation: $400 - Healthcare: $400 - Debt Payments: $400 - Savings and Investments: $400 - Entertainment and Miscellaneous: $637
Estimated Total Monthly Expenses: $4,337
True Monthly Budget: - Housing: $1,919 (average mortgage for a $400,000 home) - Utilities: $367 - Food: $416 - Transportation: $400 - Healthcare: $400 - Debt Payments: $400 - Savings and Investments: $400 - Entertainment and Miscellaneous: $300
True Total Monthly Expenses: $4,602

Housing Prices in Major Cities

Here are the average home prices and their impact on affordability in some major cities:
  1. New York, NY (Queens):
    • Average Home Price: $1,091,100
    • Typical Monthly Mortgage: $5,795
  2. San Francisco, CA:
    • Average Home Price: $1,515,000
    • Typical Monthly Mortgage: $6,320
  3. Seattle, WA:
    • Average Home Price: $800,000
    • Typical Monthly Mortgage: $3,579
  4. Los Angeles, CA:
    • Average Home Price: $900,000
    • Typical Monthly Mortgage: $3,840
  5. Austin, TX:
    • Average Home Price: $575,000
    • Typical Monthly Mortgage: $2,450

Additional Cost Increases: Food, Gas, and Car Prices

1. Food Prices: - Food prices in the U.S. have increased significantly, with the average cost of groceries being $416 per person per month (https://www.nerdwallet.com/article/finance/how-much-to-spend-on-groceries).
2. Gas Prices: - Gas prices have been volatile, with significant increases due to global events and supply chain disruptions. The average cost of gasoline is now around $3.50 per gallon, up from pre-pandemic levels.
3. Car Prices: - The cost of new and used cars has surged due to supply chain issues and increased demand. New car prices have increased by approximately 12% over the past year, while used car prices have seen even larger increases.

Inflation and Price Gouging

Inflation Impact: - Overall inflation has driven up the cost of living, impacting housing, utilities, food, and transportation. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) shows a significant rise in prices across all major categories.
Price Gouging: - During periods of high demand and low supply, some businesses have engaged in price gouging, further exacerbating the financial strain on consumers.

Taxation of a Dollar

When discussing the taxation process, it’s important to understand how many times a dollar is taxed before it is effectively reduced to zero through successive transactions.
1. How a Dollar is Taxed: - Initial Income Tax: Assume a marginal tax rate of 25%. From $1 earned, 25 cents goes to taxes, leaving 75 cents. - Subsequent Spending and Sales Tax: When the 75 cents is spent, assume a sales tax rate of 10%. This deducts 7.5 cents, leaving 67.5 cents. - Cycle of Transactions: This process repeats with each transaction. Each time the money changes hands, it is subject to additional taxation (income tax, sales tax, etc.).
2. How Many Times a Dollar Changes Hands: - Mathematical Model: The dollar's value after each transaction is ( Vn = V{n-1} \times (1 - t) ), where ( V ) is the value and ( t ) is the combined tax rate. - Effective Tax Rate: Assuming a combined effective tax rate of 35% (including various forms of taxation), we can calculate how many times a dollar changes hands before it is effectively reduced to zero. - Calculation: Using the formula ( V_n = V_0 \times (1 - t)n ), where ( V_0 ) is the initial dollar and solving for when ( V_n \approx 0 ): - If ( t = 0.35 ), then ( V_n = 1 \times (0.65)n ). - Solving for ( n ) when ( V_n \approx 0 ) (practically considered close to zero when it is less than 1 cent), we find that it takes approximately 10-12 transactions for the dollar to be effectively taxed to zero.

Why Budgets Don't Make Sense

Minimum Wage Earner: - The true total monthly expenses for a minimum wage earner exceed their after-tax income by $1,952. Even with shared housing and minimal expenses, they cannot afford basic living costs without significant financial assistance or multiple jobs.
Median Income Earner: - While the estimated and true budgets balance, they do not leave much room for unexpected expenses or significant savings. Housing and utility costs consume a significant portion of the income, limiting financial flexibility.
Average Income Earner: - Similar to median income earners, the estimated and true budgets balance but are very tight. High housing and utility costs significantly constrain the ability to save or spend on discretionary items.

Conclusion

Comparing these budgets highlights the stark differences in financial flexibility between minimum wage earners and those earning median or average incomes. Minimum wage earners face significant challenges in meeting basic living expenses, particularly housing and utilities. Even median and average income earners experience tight budgets when purchasing homes near major cities. Addressing housing affordability requires a multifaceted approach, including policy interventions, financial support, and increased wages to ensure financial stability and quality of life for all income groups.

2024.05.21 22:04 Decent-Principle8918 Why is finding decent housing sooo hard!?

Due to my disability, I am most likely not going to be able to live a normal life.
Thankfully I got access to a voucher program through HUD.
Well I finally got a job, a year ago with me getting renewed for a second year.
Awesome right?!
I thought so because I decided to apply for a townhouse, and didn’t get approved. Even though I can afford it.
I make 949$ a month
Waiver covers 1100$
I would pay around 200-300$
Leaving me with 649-749$
Groceries 0$ (food stamps 250$)
Phone/internet 100$
Transportation 0$
Entertainment 50$
This still leaves me with 499-599$ a month. I can afford it, and I want a larger space.
I’m mad because I thought I was going to get my library finally. Along with hobby room, I like trains and always wanted a play with train models on a track.
There’s no other place even close to the size, I want so I’m pissed this is also subsidize grants, making it cheaper than most places in town.
I just want to start a new chapter in my life

The place I’m at is kicking me out on Saturday. I’ve been here since Thursday. I don’t want to go back home. It’s either that or a shelter. And you can’t even stay during the day at a shelter. They’re scary places. You can get stuff stolen. How can you sleep. My heart dropped when she said that. I think they expect me to go back home. But my parents are abusive. I don’t want to. I’ll just hide in my room the whole time. I guess I’ll have food. With the food stamps..I’ll have something to do,but my grad school doesn’t start until July. I feel paralyzed. I don’t want to eat anymore. I guess I’ll check myself in again if my parents try to do something again.. I am so depressed. I’m just going in circles. No one can help me. I can’t call the police, and I can’t prove anything.

2024.05.21 21:10 TheCovidVaccine Is this illegal food stamps fraud

I was sent to a sober living that receives state funding and is considered partially a rehab. Private non profit that gets government money. Upon arriving the older woman who ran the house who was very nice and polite explained the rules of the house and she asked me if I had a food stamps card. I did and the rehab I had just came from had used my food stamps card in exchange for money coming off my treatment bill. She immediately went from nice to angry and demanded that I give her the card right that second and she made it clear that my options were give her the card or take my stuff and walk the streets of Dunn. So I gave it to her and never got it back until she spent all the money on it and I stopped paying rent and said give me my card back I’m moving out. Is what she did illegal because it was coerced? I didn’t want to give her my food stamps but I didn’t want to be homeless in a strange town.

2024.05.21 21:00 Expensive_Passion_80 6 month in - HUNGRY?!

Hi all! I’ve been doing keto for about 6 months and have set/tweaked macros and calories by following the FAQs and calculator. I’ve lost 55 lbs, but have stalled again and have been hovering around 220 for a few weeks. I do weigh and track my food as I have always done.
I’ve also become way hungrier and less satiated. I do IF 6/18, and in those 6 hours am at times eating too much/beyond my deficit because of this newfound appetite. My tracking suggests I am eating less protein and more fat than in the beginning of my journey…
Any tips on how to reset/get back to where I was earlier on when I had trouble getting enough calories, vs. now where I feel like I’m “on a diet?!”

2024.05.21 20:52 Weird-Vanilla-60 Deriving stresses for a given structure using FEM method

Hello to everyone, i'm trying to find the stresses for each element of my structure. The theory suggest using the form sigma = E[B]{d} but I have some doubts on how to apply it.
For a simple example lets say i want to calculate stresses for a cantiveler beam which is roatated of 45 degrees, how is it going to affect the results?
For now i'm using the method i've found in my book but it is not considering axial displacements, how do i modify the method to accomodate for axial displacements too??
For the example i'm doing i got the following results for displacements and rotation:
u1 = 0,001675121 m
u2 = -0,001691957 m
theta = -0,002525333 rad
the applied force is F = 100000 N, the beam is long 1,4142 m and E = 2.1*10^11 Pa
Thanks to all for the reply

2024.05.21 20:45 ElizabethKenobi0621 Brothers chaotic marriage

My brother married an actual psychopath. My brother (40) married the scummiest scum of the earth. Who can only be described as a whore, a psycho, sociopath and an all around terrible human being. It was against the wishes of EVERYONE. For back story…She had a child by another man… and only had him (in november) to live off the government. he met the stray hoe took care of her and her unborn child. they started dating in september and by christmas she had drained his bank account. He moved in with her days after christmas. Proposed. And got married sometime between march and june i honestly can not be bothered to know exactly when. The night before brother was admitted to the er for staph infection in his berries. After the “wedding” that was in the back yard of some pastor . they had a “reception”. Where i photographed/observed the following. A used tampon on washing machine. Shit filled diapers littering the nursery. A surreal amount of clothing on the bed. I said nah im good. And went home. The wedding was in may and she got my brother to legally adopt her child. Im forever convinced if not for my brother she would casey anthony her child. She Munchausened her kid and my brother. Self diagnosing the kid with autism. Pushed or made my brother fall and get multiple concussions. Drugged him with date rape drugs to keep control of him. She was a frequent flier to the ER going to the emergency room for unnecessary reasons. She refused to parent her child insisting that its the worlds job to teach him the bare minimum. She refused to clean as well. Her cockroaches had cockroaches. Cleanliness was mental illness for her. She kicked my brother out asking for divorce. But realized she had to leave bc he paid the bills. She stayed with whoever the hell would take her. Was forced to walk wherever she needed to go. And uttered the words “well i had to walk in the rain so theres my bath for the week” after growing tired of not having his card and money she came crawling back. She avoided parenting like the plague. Every excuse. Uti. Migraine. Yeast infection. Its a tuesday. When her son was 2 she left to go to another state and go to school for being a truck driver. Had no qualms of leaving her kid behind for weeks. Then she dropped out of 18 wheeler school. It seems the wheels on her bus fell off. For someone who doesnt believe proper hygiene was important she didnt believe bathing him and basic care was important. Feet encrusted in dirt and dirt under overgrown nails. It was so noticeable that when i cut his nails his teacher made comment about it. Her family was just as absent as you would expect. Her mother only went to the first birthday party when the child was 6. And didnt even know her own grandchild. Asked another child at the party if he had the best birthday! My mom looked at her and said “yeaaa thats the wrong kid…” Fast forward when the first born was 6 and she birthed her second. This had no change and her parenting never improved. Another child encrusted in dirt. After the youngest turned a year and a half my brother had knee surgery and stayed with us (me mom dad) to recover because she would have made him cook clean and parent. While he was healing for the week he was there she moved in her boyfriend AND girlfriend. By the way she not only a hoe she is a promiscuous hoe with no moral compass. I promised my mom id never call CPS however when the second was 2 i had a friend call cps. Like a special ops team cops went in at 2 am and gathered the children and brought them to me and my parents. We had the 2 year old and a friend of the hoe had the 8 year old. For 2 weeks my brother agonized over his kids being taken. And she had a vacation. She treated it as if having your kids repo’ed as a right of passage. Told the world. Told the teacher. And had the time of her stupid life. In the 2 weeks i had them i had minions collecting screenshots of statuses of her being a bad mother. Which was super easy bc every thought made it to facebook. Such as. “My dentist suggested i brush my teeth at least once a day” “i guess i was doing (brother) with the wrong meds and made him sick” “why dont grandparents raise our children” i gathered these gems and photographic evidence of the state of the house and cleanliness of children to cps, police and eventually divorce lawyer. During their time together the hoe broke my brother mentally spiritually emotionally physically financially. The food stamps ran out in the first week of every month spent on junk soda and unnecessary nonsense. They had to ask my mother for money that accumulated to the tune of $10,000 over 10 years. She is also a gofundme whore. She would start a gofundme 10-12 times a year for any and everything. She decided at one point to go back to school and did an amazon wishlist for school supplies and a gofundme for “gas food and other expenses”. Being the trash human she is she is friends with people of unsavory character. An actual crack head bought her entire amazon wishlist. Which she put on facebook. Yikes. At one point she found a dog and instead of finding the owner she finders keepers that poor pup. Making yet another gofundme for dog expenses. I told my friends i would paaaay them to claim the dog as theirs so my mother didnt pay for yet another mouth to feed. If youre curious about the gofundmes and if they were ever fruitful… when a bull milks a calf will her gofundme work. The final year of their marriage was no less chaotic. The christmas of 2019 she posted on facebook that its so wonderful that her husband is out working and her boyfriend is sleeping next to her and her girlfriend is cooking. Tagging the aforementioned on facebook. My brother was humiliated because infront of church members family and friends his marriage and all the stupidity that came with it was out in the open for all to judge. My brother was at the time a corrections officers and let his kind nature and naivety get him in trouble. A person asked him to take some taco bell to an inmate and in what could only be called a moment of stupidity (sorry mom) he did so. what he didnt know is they put drugs in it and when it was scanned he was arrested. My mom and dad had to bail him out too him home and around 3 am he called me “they voted me out” beyond confused i asked what the hell does that mean? As it turned out. Hoe boyfriend and girlfriend unanimously voted him out of the house. Mind you. Single wide trailer housing 4 adults 2 kids a dog and cats. June of 2020 he moved back in a month later if the children followed. after the actual breadwinner left the house the unemployed baboons could not pay the rent and were kicked out. The three went down to two with the girlfriend being let go. Hoe and boyfriend moved in with her mother. And boyfriend wrecked the car in my brothers name. Dui and head on collision. Car gone! The children stayed with us. The youngest was 2 at the time and began calling my mom “mommy” which pissed off the hoe. And she never contacted them. At the hearing for the divorce she stated all she wanted out of the relationship was not money or visitation. But her maiden name back. TAKE IT. AND LEAVE US THE HELL ALONE. She also used a photo of her kids on a gofundme to get sympathy and posted that to a fetish website. Seeing as the photo was them shirtless i believe that was on purpose. She dumped boyfriend and found a new love in new hampshire. She was in NH for 8 months with her new boyfriend and he lost his job so they moved back down. After a summer of no contact she called and told the children “when i get home we are going to….” And listed about 10 events places and activities to look forward to. None of which she delivered on. After not spending time with them again and choosing to give up her weekend with them to play video games for 30 HOURS STRAIGHT. She eventually in 2024 decided that her and her boyfriend were moving to Massachusetts. Seeing how she is a practicing witch my only hope is the salem witch trials reconvene. She married the dude she abandoned her kids for. On mothers day the children who no longer give a damn she exists were forced to call and tell her happy mothers day. Where the 6 year old proceeded to tell her the older brother got a phone and didnt wanna give her his number. She assured him that as his mother its quite alright to give mommy dearest the number to which the youngest said yea no he doesnt want to. The mouths of babes. She cried and posted on facebook not only do her children hate her but she had to give up her cats too. And wished the “real mom’s of the world a happy mothers day” shes a shit cat mom too! A week after we had spaghetti for dinner and the 6 year old said “i never used to like spaghetti. I only tried it at… whats her names house? Jordan? Yea her house” With their father engaged to a good Godly woman with morals and standards the worst mother to ever mother has been replaced and so far we are all living happily ever after. The moral of the story is if you lay down with dogs you get up with fleas what if you lay down with whores end up with bedbugs and that was a very costly moral

2024.05.21 20:45 According-Ring-8678 The Charles Markward Situation (POSSIBLY IMPORTANT)

I apologize in advance for the length of this thread, but by far this is the user that wrote the most comments in the video of our song. At first, he suggested Scepter and Reign, but he debunked this lead by saying: "Scepter and Reign can be crossed off. I have been corresponding with the lady whose name is mentioned in the legal document, Naomi (first name used with her permission, and only her first name) since Thursday. She was legitimately shocked her name was on the document because in all these years NOBODY ever contacted her regarding it. She thinks they may have realized how much money it would cost and probably withdrew. She knew both bands fairly well, scale of 1-10 she answered "6.5 maybe 7'ish". She designed 1 "logo" for each band that was literally just a sketch she made with their band names on them she could print out in the Xerox store she worked at. Scepter's original name was actually "Dungeon Master" but they changed it to fit their name on her design. As for the abandoned demo from Scepter, she said they abandoned it because they couldn't afford to produce it. They didn't even make it far enough to name their 3 or 4 songs. So, on to the big question, are either bands involved with this song? According to her both bands came out in 1985, and according to her this "The Falling King" song predates both bands by a year or 2. This is not Scepter or Reign, this song is older than both bands. According to her, she first heard this song on a Detroit station while visiting family. Even back then, the Detroit station personnel had absolutely NO CLUE who this was. She remembers her father making fun of the singers accent claiming it was a "Posh" accent and also used to think the lyric was "The fall, the fall in the king" lol. I explained how this song was recorded off of several stations in 1987 and she replied "How many songs do you hear on the radio that are several years old?". She was stumped this was played on Z-Rock because this does not sound like an amateur band to her. She is not the only person to make comments that this does not sound like an amateur band, this sounds professionally recorded and produced, something EXTREMELY few amateugarage bands could have done. I thought i had something, but at least i tried. By the way, apparently Reign still performs in the Pittsburgh area under the name "Metallic Thunder"." (THIS IS HIS LATEST COMMENT) If this is true, it means our search will be even more difficult.
In one of his earliest comments he said this: "My 2 oldest sisters (born in 1970 and 1972) actually remember this song being played by garage bands and local talents in the Coatesville PA area. However, they both swear on mom and dads ashes that the first time they heard this song, a local music festival in Exton PA, I was NOT born yet (I was born in 1984). Even back then nobody could say who it was or what the title was. In fact the one band from Downingtown PA used to refer to it as "The Dungeons and Dragons song". And by that i mean, according to my sisters the lead singers girlfriend (or his sister....they could never tell?) would be in the crowd and when they were ready to end their performance she would shout "Play the Dungeons and Dragons song". My sisters also remember the adults thinking this song was somehow a promotional thing for the PA Renaissance Fair. Unfortunately they cannot offer any clues to the identity of this band or songs title, their guess, back then and still today, was Manowar."
At first, he claims our band is Manowar, explaining: "I do not think Manowar is an obscure band, nor do my sisters. The "obscure" bands mentioned in my postings are all the local garage/amateur bands that they remember playing this song and most of those garage/amateur bands even back then, along with my sisters, were under the impression this was a Manowar song. Many people, not just on this post but others feel this is Manowar "pitch" song, other bands thrown around have been Iron Maiden, Overdrive (Or Overkill, i'm not sure if it's the same band?), Blackmane, Axis and Cirith Ungol (spelling?). Keep this in mind, it's not that uncommon for mainstream/well known bands to have unreleased music in their "library". A good example, ask the most diehard Rammstein fans what their first song ever was, they'll probably answer Du Recht So Gut or Rammstein. Most people have never heard their 1992-1993 pitch song, "Tier" (Monster, beast). In fact, Till Linderman himself stated in 2018 he was unaware Tier was ever recorded by anyone, yet alone put up on the internet. Like this "Fall of the King" song, "Tier" was toted as an mystery song for years but was in a group of 4 or 5 other songs that Rammstein did but never released. One of my favorite bands, Corvus Corax, actually had something similar happen, a song they did back in the early 90's, "Vampire", opening for another band was recorded by a fan in the audience and made rounds on the Neo Folk community ages later. Corvus Corax themselves heard it on a radio station in Denmark roughly 2009'ish and called them asking how and when they got that song because they NEVER recorded it for public use. Personally i cannot give a wager who this is? I am not that good with this genre so i go with what people older than me and much better with this music say. To me it could be Manowar, something they never intended to be released publicly, it could be the Z'Rose a bunch of people feel it is, it could be Overdrive/Overkill (i do not know if these names are the same band or 2 separate ones?), it could be me time traveling impersonating my great uncle Fred......ok that last one was just meant to be a joke lol." Then someone says: "has your sister contacted erik to see about the the song?" and he says "OH HELL NO!!! They haven't spoken since they broke up in 1991-1992. I did reach out to his brother probably a year ago and never heard back."
He suggests it's either Manowar or Sarissa (he mispelled them): "@aSome1 There's some confusion, my sisters never said Z'Rose was playing the song in our hometown area. Local teenage to early college yrs bands were playing it. They recognized this song when I was on a family Zoom chat, i had this song on in the background (by accident actually lol) and my oldest sister (#1 born in '70) asked what i was listening to. I turned it up and she shook her head and asked the other sister (#2 born in '72) "Oh my gosh isn't that that stupid Manowar song Erik and his brother used to play all the time?". Erik was the name of her high school boyfriend. They remember hearing it first at an amateur music fest when my brother (born in '82) was still a baby. Mainly they remember mom fitting all of them in her old "Batmobile" station wagon. By the time i was born in '84 that station wagon was gone for at least several months. The band names they specifically remember playing this, and keep in mind these were "Garage bands" from the 80's were: Venomous Vomit, Razors in your Coffee (Erik's band), Ash to Ash, Cauldron Kings, Coven of Metal, Pridesville, South of Hell and Purgatory. They said there were a few more, but didn't remember....or care....to know their names. (Disclaimer: Several peoples associated with those mentioned bands have been contacted by me and several have replied.....the most common reply is "How the hell do you know us!?" lol)
"I have actually been looking at this song for almost 3yrs. I've had some "good leads" and some "bad leads" and i've also had "WTF leads".......but at the end it is still unsolved. So far the biggest contenders, from people way better with this music than me (I'm more a symphonic or extreme metal person) have been: Manowar, Iron Maiden, OverDrive, Overkill, Onslaught of Destruction and Sonic Mahem. My sisters really believe it is possibly an unreleased or "pitch demo" of Manowar but they also said it might be a Greek band from the early 80's called Sarassa or something like that?"
Then he denies it's Z-Rose: "@lostwavefinder587 I have seen that name tossed around a lot on forums and random chats (this being one of them). Most people way smarter and better with this music than myself seem to have the opinion that it is not Z'Rose. They range in reason from: the equipment sound professional and they were not, the dates don't add up, Z'Rose only did covers so even it is them in the recordings it's still not their song.....one individual (a supervisor at work who lived in Texas during this time frame) actually said "Z'Rose wouldn't have been sober enough to finish that song". I have only heard 1 Z'Rose recording, and unfortunately the person who recorded it (I think the date says 1989?) spends the majority of the 5 minute video talking during the performance so all i hear is them and not the singer. I have to emphasize about %99 of this info i'm presenting is NOT from me but people who know this genre of music way better than me....i'm more Symphonic metal and neo folk (Corvus Corax, Heilung, Faun etc."
"Out of curiosity, since a lot people think this might be Z'Rose, has anyone contacted the family/families of Nick or Joe Cavazos? My "team" is looking into a blog page from 2018 of a pretty intense exchange between a blogger and a woman who is believed to be "Rocker Joe's daughter. In this exchange she states this song is NOT her dad and uncle's band. But it gets pretty rough because the blogger keeps pressing and let's just say some NSFW language is exchanged. I will only say this, the woman's name does match one of the names in Julio "Joe" Cavazos obituary, but they can't tell if it is actually HER or someone posing. I also find it interesting that in another posting of this song someone is claiming to be the nephew of both Nick and Joe.....but about a dozen people ask about this song and he does not answer them......but someone else will ask something unrelated to this song and he answers??"
"About a year ago on another posting of this song, someone had a link to a conversation with a woman who was allegedly Joe Cavazos daughter. She very adamantly denied this was her dads band, Z'Rose. They person kept pressing her and she did not budge a single inch, "NO, its not my dad's band". The only thing that could be confirmed was the woman's name did match a name in Julio "Joe" Cavazos obituary as his daughter. But if it was her or not I can't say? Many peoples on other postings and on forums have all claimed to have gotten in contact with Z'Rose and stated they responded "No" to this being theirs.
So the "Kings Fall" song by Bernard Cavazos is actually a completely different song. He is also not related to the Z'Rose Cavazos. Somewhere I read that the "Kings Fall"/"Fallen King" song by Bernard Cavazos is about a corrupt politician or mafia like "king" not an actual king. Again none of this is from me, it's from things I read, not me.
When 'Wang' did a video about several mystery songs he included this one. In his video (I don't know if he made more than one?) he talked about how that Bernard Cavazos has been contacted and has denied this is his Fall of the King song. If my memory is correct Wang read a message from him explaining his "king" was a corrupt politician or gang leader like king. Wang also mentioned there was another Bernard Cavazos who was a doctor and he is sick and tired of people contacting him about this song"
Someone that replied to him said:
"@CharlesMarkward probably this tape recording was an attempt from them to make something of their own, many bands have started this way, an example is the Brazilian power metal band Angra, they were first meant to be an Iron Maiden tribute but as things went by, they have decided to release things of their own...I couldn't find anything about this "Z'Rose" band in metal-archives, neither at Google with a simple research, but the data gathered until this moment make sense: the Z Rock radio is from Texas, the so called "Z'Rose" band is also from Texas, it was the 80's, so, without internet, this was the way bands used to promote their work...but your story adds some drifts from this sensible data available until now...they are/were from Texas, ok...but until then, they weren't any big group, which means they were probably 9 to 5 salarymen whose musician activity was on weekends and the money earned wasn't enough to keep up with, so, a trip from TX to PA is a long ranged one and expensive for their then standards, I can remember when I've read the Mick Wall's Metallica biography, in which they highlight how hard was for them to go all the way from CA to NY to record Kill em' All, well, unless someone sponsored the so called "Z'Rose from Texas" (like the Zazula couple to Metallica) to play in the events you've mentioned in PA...which means they were good and had potential (this "mysterious recording" doesn't let me lie), because it takes a lot for someone at the other eastern extreme of a big country like the USA to call someone all the way from TX to play in an event when probably there were good bands around and without the need of a sponsorship to travel and get some place to sleep and eat..."
Therefore Charles says: "Also, i am not the one saying it's not them. People much better with much more access to metal archives/records are saying it's not them. BUT, everything you said makes perfect sense to me and I have no argument against any of it. It would make perfect sense if it was a possible pitch demo Z'Rose recorded and kept along for a few years before a station played it. My sisters are %98 certain it was a Manowar song, the only other band they mentioned as a possibility is a Greek band i can't find anything about called something like Sarassa??"
Someone told him to contact Erik: "A little bit ago someone in here suggested i contact my sisters ex and ask where he got this song. I could not get a hold of him, but i did get in contact with his brother he played with. According to the brother they got the song from their aunt who lived in Philly (Center City) and would send them tapes of songs to play. This song was on a tape sandwiched between "4 or 5" Manowar songs. He specifically remembered this for 2 reasons: 1, their aunt wrote "Killing of the king by No Name" and 2, the last song on the this tape was labled as a Venom song (he did not recall which) but was actually "Melody of Love" by Bobby Vinton😂. So i think this is why my sisters keep saying it's Manowar, because if it was on a tape with a bunch of their songs that chances are they heard a crapload of times?"
He contacted Erik's brother (Erik is supposedly the ex boyfriend of one of his sisters) and received this reply: "Erik's brother returned another email I sent about this song. I made a post about it about a week ago. The brother says their aunt who lived in Philly included this song on a mix tape of stuff for him and his brother to play. This song was sandwiched between several Manowar songs and the last song on the tape was supposed to be a Venom song but was actually Bobby Vinton's "Melody of Love" 🤣"
Therefore debunking the possibility it's a Manowar song, he also adds: "She (the aunt) passed in 2014. She would record songs off the radio for them. She lived in Philly (Center City) but also had a place in Florida, so he was never sure which cities radio stations she would record from. This song she wrote "Killing the King?" As the title and "???" as the band name, but it was between several Manowar songs. I think this might be why my oldest sisters are so insistent this is a Manowar song because they may have listened to it with Erik and his brother.....it's a theory lol"
He also thought of Iced Earth as the possible band: "lostwavefinder587 I immediately thought of Iced Earth when I heard this song. Although it's likely just a coincidence, it's interesting to note that Iced Earth was originally called "The Rose".
Someone said to him: "if that's any help, the Greek band's name you're talking about is probably Sarissa. I don't think it's them, though: the vox sound kinda different, and their songs are mostly Ancient Greece-themed." And he replied: "Yes, thank you! All this time I've been spelling it wrong. I gave a quick listen to a demo of theirs from '86. In terms of sound and beat and tempo etc, they are pretty close to this song. In terms of vocals, they sound nothing alike." Therefore, he debunked Sarissa himself.
Now here he changed his version and provides a new lead given by his sisters:
"Holy crap for some reason my last post got cut in half and didn't include the following info, sorry! So the individual i spoke to and got the new possible lead is the former singer of the one band my sisters mentioned, Purgatory, (i do NOT have his permission to use his real name but his stage name was Tarantula). He confirmed he played this song "once or twice" but didn't know the lyrics so they just repeated several "blocks" over and over again. He heard it from a band in NJ and when he asked if he could use the song they replied along the lines of "It's not our song, we don't care" but gave no indication who it was or they even knew who it was? He suggested the band "Knightmare" because they were from Texas and he remembers all of their songs being medieval or medieval fantasy related. Supposedly they wore what looked like full on plate armor (he does not know if it was actual metal armor or something made to look like it). He saw them perform a handful of times because he spent summers in Texas on his grandfathers (mistakenly said uncle in my last post, sorry) ranch and would sneak off at night to "the metal scene" (i do not know if that was a club name or if he just meant that in general?). He began visiting his grandfathers ranch in 1980 and stopped when his grandfather retired in 1992. He gave an estimated timeline for "Knightmare" of 1981-1989."
He corrects himself by saying they are not called "Knightmare": Interestingly, my supervisor at work lived in Texas during this timeline (roughly mid 70's to mid 90's from what i can gather?) and when I asked him about Knightmare he had no idea. But when i mentioned they dressed up like knights in armor he suddenly looked startled and said "That wasn't their name, their name was Battle Battalion or some s*** like that".
But then he says: "So i posted a few months ago about this song, my sisters remember garage bands in the area playing this… I checked every band called Knightmare on Metal Encyclopedia and it doesn’t look like it’s our band." "Forgive my French.....Damn. I thought maybe it could have been a lead but i guess like dozens of others I've come across, dead end. I did a quick search for Knightmare a few weeks ago and I got all excited i saw one band dressed up like monks or Druids, but that band only came out in 2017. I think it's safe to say the name has been used by many bands."
Then someone asks him: "Does the name "Battle Battalion" show up on any Metal "pedia" sites? That's what my supervisor claims this "dressed up in medieval armor" bands name was?" and another one told him: "I saw some bands with Battalion on the metal encyclopedia and discogs and none of them are our band. I don’t think we should go based on what a band wears as our lead."
Then he debunks the Knightmare (and the Conquest) lead: "So a little bit ago i mentioned a band name "Knightmare" as a possibility for this song. Well the band was actually called "KnyghtBlyde" (Knight Blade) and i got in contact with the daughter of the vocalist last night. I played this song for her and after some confliction/hesitation she said it is NOT her dad. The biggest thing was all of her dads songs were based of Aruthurian lore and filled with references to Camelot, Arthur, Morgana, Lancelot, Excalibur etc. Since this song has none of that, its not them. She has no idea who this is. I did a quick search "Conquest 80's metal band Texas" and found 3 results. Conquest from San Antonio, split in either '85 or '87. Conquest from Dallas, '86 - '90. Khan'quest (possibly same band as Khanquistador?), no location given but split up in '88 then reformed in 2000 then......nothing? I could not find anything about any of their songs or demos or releases or band members. But it's obvious I was thinking of the wrong Conquest bands 😂 Conquest was ruled out. Someone who owns the tape was contacted and told us this isn't them."
And he says the singer of KnyghtBlade is convinced this song is from Battallion:
"So a little bit ago I mentioned getting in contact with KnyghtBlyde singers daughter who states that this is NOT her dad. She contacted me this morning, her father thinks this song might be by a band called Battalion. But her father said Battalion also went by the name AAA, Anti Aircraft Assault (or Artillery) in their early days. According to her father AAA/Battalion were from Texas but at least 2 of their members were originally from Chicago. Has anyone ever heard of either Battalion or AAA, Anti Aircraft Assault? The closest I can say is my one supervisor at work mentioned a band Battle Battalion from Texas when he lived there."
Then someone replies to him: "you are right there is a band named Battalion formed in 1984" He says: "I cannot find a single piece of music from this particular "Battalion"? From what I could find they formed between 1983 and 1985, split, reformed under a few possible names, split, repeat. 2 people I asked did say they remember a band of some sort from "out west" Anti Aircraft A-something, but neither could give any info."
Now here, he suggests it could be a Talon song:
"So here's a potential lead for everyone: I was just playing this song for a friend who is obsessed with all metal music. She asked me "Where did you get that Talon song?" Talon was/is a German heavy metal band from the early 80's that released several demos and full on albums between '83-'89. Almost all of there songs were medieval themed, especially their 2 demos. Herr's the thing, they supposedly have 3 unnamed tracks from both demos, one allegedly called "King Slayer". I listened to a bunch of there songs and I have to say there are several songs where the singer sounds exactly like our mystery singer, but then the next song they sound nothing alike. There was one song called something like "Execution" that the opening guitar sounds like this songs opening only slower? I'm not saying it is Talon, but it is possibly something to look into or at least consider?"
He also claimed the singer sounds like Bruce Dickinson (which has been suggested many times):
"I've said many times that I personally feel this vocalist sounds extremely close to Bruce Dickinson. There is a clip of Bruce singing Tom Jones' "Delilah" on either a talk or game show, and his opening of that song is nearly identical to this Fall of the King vocals! Tone, tempo, cadence, pitch......it's really really on spot. I am NOT saying it is Bruce, I'm just saying whoever it is does a good job singing like him."
He says this song could be made by Eviscerator:
"Hello again everyone, has anyone ever heard of a band from Britain, late 70's through late 80's called "Eviscerator"? Very very long story short: I played this song at a Viking/Pagan/Neo-Folk/Black Metal "bar" about half a mile up the road from my place and the one patron who looked like Elvira and Lilith Bathory had a daughter together (HOT HOT HOT) comes over and asked me to replay it and she sang along with the recording with about %95 accuracy! Oddly, at the end after the 4 or 5 "The Fall of the King"s, she suddenly sang "The evil one now wears the crown, all hail the evil one" and head banged for a few moments. According to her, this song was by a band called "Eviscerator" and they always claimed this song was written as a pitch track for the movie Heavy Metal? I mentioned how this song by numerous accounts was recorded here in the USA in 86-87 from stations in Texas, Chicago, Cleveland, NYC and (by only one account) possibly Florida. She didn't feel there was an issue with that as stations will often play random things just to fill the spot including songs that are several years older. I asked about her added line at the end and she stated "I didn't add s*** bud, whoever recorded it must have cut it off before they got to it". I mentioned how numerous people strongly believe this is the work of Z'Rose, she said they probably covered it a bunch of times but it is not their song and even stated that this particular recording sounds like it could be them covering. She was more familiar with Z'Rose than me, she commented "The 3 Cavlaros brothers from Texas right? The singer was the oldest brother Jeff?" (I know that's not their name, i only included it for aunthenticity per context of our discussion, the last name is Cavazos and there was only 2 of them right?). She also told me Z'Rose had about a dozen other names through their years including "Gypsy Rose". I asked how she knew this British band "Eviscerator" and she answered that she lived in London from 78-85 and this song was played a lot on "amateur hour" on several stations, especially university stations. This kind of took me by surprise because i thought she looked younger than me (I'm 39) but she lived in England for college and her first husband in the late 70's??"
"In my last comments i mentioned a bar i went to was going to have a mini concert featuring bands that specialize in black metal and 80's tribute metal and i would play this song to see if any of the band peoples or concert goers would chime in. I did just that and got a few hits on the radar with a few of the band members. The one band, Inviaat, the singer says he remembers this song being played on a radio station in Philly PA for an entire summer because that station was trying to find the band. He does not remember the specific station but said it was near the Taylor University campus (my understanding is that there is several?) because the station thought it was the students from that university's music program. When i asked him when exactly that would have been he said Summer of 1983 because he was married on Halloween 1983 and was hoping the station would find the band so they could play at his wedding. A member from the local band "inductus Mortis" said he recalls that song being played "somewhere in the mid 80's" but does not remember if he heard it in Chicago or Cleveland because he bounced between them. I asked several bands, include the Venom tribute band Poisonous Whisper if anyone had ever heard of a band name Eviscerator from the 80's. Only one person thought he heard the name but it wasn't a band name it was a compilation album of NWOBHM from roughly '83-'84, but couldn't tell me anything other than that. As for the other concert goers, the #1 response i got from them was along the lines of "Dude you can sing, you should go pro!".....in other words they thought it was me promoting myself (I wish i could sing like that!!). the #2 response was people thought it was Manowar. After those 2 the guesses were the usual ones i have seen here and everywhere else this topic comes up: Blackmaine, Axis, Overkill, Overdrive, Black Sabath, Iron Maiden, Anthrax, Slayer, WitchAxe and 2 people even asked if it was an Ozzy Osbourne demo."
"I asked around, including my oldest sisters I've mentioned in my postings, about Eviscerator. The only person who heard of them, the one from this time-frame not the other 8 or 9 bands from the 2000's with that name, said they were a generic ManowaIron Maiden/Judas Priest tribute or more accurately, ripoff, band who sucked. I am not saying I buy this woman's account, but i'm also not discrediting it or calling her a liar. Her familiarity with this song and her accuracy with the lyrics makes me believe she knows this song from somewhere.....what that somewhere is, i can't comment because i don't know?"
"So far my friends and I have several "pings" to look into, the name Eviscerator has absolutely nothing from the time frame we're looking at. But there is (was?) a "Lee Lesaat" Canadian/British "mercenary" (did not belong to any band but would play for others) drummer who now lives in NYC my friends are looking into.
There is an 80's metal/black metal tribute concert this Saturday at the bar I was at last weekend. After the bands play their sets they have an open mic like set up where you can play your own music (as long as it fits the theme). I'm going to try and play this song and see if anyone, bands or crowd or food vendors etc, have any reaction.
And by "pings" I just mean responses/possible possible long shot leads. The guy or girl claiming to be a psychic vampire who time traveled and wrote this song for The Lost Boys movie is NOT going to be one of them😂"
Then someone asks: "What band is this Eviscerator ? I found a band that was formed in 2012 . Furthermore tthe song is not in the metal archives I searched through lyrics was not found." He says: "Allegedly they were in England in the 1980's, but the woman stated 2 of them had New York accents. If all of her account is true and accurate, they were NOT a professional big name band. I did find several bands with the title "Eviscerator" (in different variations) but all of them were from the 2000's. The only "pro" band with that title I could find was a Hungarian band from the mid 2000's. I asked Satanic lady if she remembered any of the other bands that played alongside "Eviscerator" and she only remembered 3: "Band-Shee" (an all female band....get it?) Gargoyle, and Werewolf Tears."
"I have a very very small update for everyone, but it's still an update nonetheless. The mystery succubus looking woman who said this song was by Eviscerator and sang along to it (even when I "accidentally" muted my phone to see if she was just repeating what she was hearing.....she was not) has been identified by my journalist friend! We are going to try and get in contact with her and see if there is anything else she can remember about "Eviscerator" that could help. I'm not going to get my hopes up, but her familiarity with this songs lyrics and the fact she sang almost in perfect synch with the beat makes me feel she really did know this song from somewhere in her past. That or she is a very good actress? Lol
I found only 1 solid, confirmed band with that name but they were from mid 2000's Hungary. But several peoples now and then tell me they remember hearing that name in the 80's as various things; crappy garage band, NWOHBM compilation album/work, some sort of event space or name, most recently someone claimed he thought it was the stage name of a singer but didn't know who or what band. I'm trying to get in touch with the woman who originally mentioned that name."
He posted this comment that lead nowhere: "2 very small updates for everyone:
1) The Viking/Pagan/Goth/Black Metal themed bar just around the corner from me is having a New Years event tomorrow night. They actually agree to give me a "booth" where i can have a "guess this song" set up. And, it will be right next to where the bands play...I'm going to be between the "stage" and the food truck lol
2) The one radio station i submitted this song to will play it on their "X hour" on 1/8/24. It is not a hugely popular segment, maybe a few hundred listeners, but it's better than nothing.
Here's to the New Year and hope this song and numerous others get solved!"
"So the station played this song Sunday night/Monday morning. They played it 4 times between 2:07am - 3:12am. They received 9 calls about it and about a dozen emails (I seriously didn't know they had an email!?!?!?). Unfortunately the majority of contacts were people either asking for them to replay it or people thinking it was Manowar. There were a few Iron Maidens and one or 2 Ozzy Osborne's. Only 2 people stated they heard this song before. Unfortunately they heard it from "some kilt wearing guy at blank bar plays it, I think it's him self promoting". Yes that's me they referenced and no it is not me singing lol"
He suggest matrixx as a possibility: "There's a band called matrixx that has been giving me interest. They were only around for two years due to financial struggles in their stage. If you look up attaxe and fiinal notice they share two members of matrixx. Their drummer and guitarist sound very similar to the band from this song. It's pretty crazy too because they have a song called defy the king. They also had a label to produce their songs which is called Suma Recording Studios. This may be the reason why the audio sounds too good for a small band. I hope that this is the band! Too many good clues that I found"
He debunks the Steven Lindfield lead: "One of the names thrown about here and there on posts about this song is a Steven Linfield ("Lindi") who bounced between Chicago and NYC in the 1980's. His alleged involvement varries between being the DJ who allegedly played it on a NYC station, to being a Chicago stations record manageclerk etc etc. I got in contact with him yesterday. He denies having ANYTHING to do with the airing of this song and does not know how or why his name came up. While he did work at 2 stations (NYC, then Chicago during the summer) he was an overnight watchman (security). However, he does recall this song being played on "some amateur hour crapshoot" in '86 in NYC a bunch of times. At that point in '86 he claims people were referencing it as "The King Song" or "The song of the King" (drawn out to match the singers "The Faaaalllll, the fall of the kiiiiiing") and it was already 2 or 3 years old at that time. He did explain that at least at the Chicago station there was an amateur drop-off slot that the dj's would pick through and play random "no namers" labeling them as "space filler". Because they would be played, literally just to fill space, they were NOT mandated to keep any records of them. Sometimes the dj's would just make up names to some of these. One of his main duties was to check the drop-off to make sure there were no bad things thrown in there instead of cassettes. Another dead end, but at least we rulled out one theory......silver lining??😂 LINDFIELD, not Linfield. Darn autocorrect on this phone."
He is convinced it's a professional band's demo: Thats why a lot people I have introduced to this song think it's a professional band, or at the extreme least an amateur band playing with top level equipment/sponsor? 1983 guy stated they sound like they have equipment his garage band "couldn't even afford to dream about looking at yet alone use". It's also one of the reasons my 2 oldest sisters insist this is a professional band (sister #1 says Manowar, #2 says Manowar or Sarissa) because there are no goofs or mistakes or errors. My sisters gave an example of a garage band from their Kutztown university days, "Freefall Abyss" that self released a demo and in one song you can hear a telephone ringing in the background and in another you can hear a fan or ac unit going.
He contacted a girl named Della: "This song was actually played on an old Philly/NJ station on the segment "Della names your tune" in 2009. I was able to get in contact with "Della" (real name withheld by her request) who at first stated "I played thousands of unnamed songs bud, I probably played this one 100 times, sorry i wont be much help" . Then a few days later replied "I do recall this one, it was sent in from a local listener who had it labeled as Dungeon Master or maybe Dragon Master on a CD with a bunch of old early Manowar, JudaPriest, Iron Maiden, Megadead, Metallica and AngelWitch songs. He or she claimed their father had this song on a tape from his college days. Nobody knew what or who it was back in '09 or '10 and as far as I know nobody figured it out when I left the program in '15." The only name she gave, and I don't know if this was even a real name or the drummers "stage name" was Leopald Lestat.........I do have 2 people looking into it (from a metal dating site of all places). Disclaimer: I know some of those bands are misspelled, I purposefully left it that way because that's how she sent it to me."
"I went down that road, you nailed it right on the head. There is no way to track down who that listener was. The only hint she had, in the form of the note attached to the CD was the person said they were from Radnor PA. I couldn't tell you because the other songs kind of bounce around in terms of year: there's a Judas Priest and an Angel Witch song both from 1980 but then there's a song from Megadeath (I believe Megadeath came out in '85?) and a Metallica song from '86? For some reason my one comment didn't show up? Della gave a pretty big hint, she said the mailing address on the CD was from Radnor PA, but the phone number included was a landline for a Chicago address. Her and the station managers assumed it was a "shadow number" and didn't bother keeping record of it. A lot of her requests had local addresses with out of state phone numbers, cellular and landline."
He suggests Dungeon Masters: "I have a potential lead, "Dungeon Masters" from Pittsburgh PA? Long story short: everyone at work talks about a "hot nerdy chick" who works at the one antique book store in town and she is a music genius and knows EVERY song people play. So i decided to test it. I played this song and she stated "I think thats Dungeon Masters, they were from my hometown of Pittsburgh PA back in the early to late 80's. Thats either Dungeon Masters or someone doing an incredible job imitating them?". Given that Cleveland is only a 2-3 hr drive from Pittsburgh (from what Steelers players say) i think this could be a possible lead and explain the Cleveland recording? Again, this is only a POSSIBLE lead, but i think it has potential?
Currently my one "source" is looking into it. He is not always accurate (as evidenced when we were looking into Conquest) but its better than nothing."
And someone adds this: "Della said the same Dungeon Masters so better look into it"
But he says this: "Close, "Della" stated the listener who sent in the CD had this song labeled as "Dungeon Master?", not a band name. But I am looking into it as best as I can. I found a Pittsburgh band "Dungeon" but they're NOT metal they're an Omnia/Faun like band (neo-folk I think is the term?) formed in 2018. I sent word out to the people I know and my "team". Now it is a waiting game."

2024.05.21 20:19 PdxMainzer92 Budget app

Hey wondering what everyone uses to help budget! I am looking for something real simple where I can plug in my weekly paychecks and what bills I have that week and some money for things like gas, dinner, movie, etc and it will automatically add up and tell me what I can save each week??
Right now I do it manually on notes and put in each weeks check and below it list all my bills below it that will have to come out on that check plus like $100 for the wk for other stuff( movies, gas, food out, etc) and then I know what I have a week I can put into credit cards/savings without waiting til the end of the week to see what I have left??? I have it literally going out for like 60 wks right now!
I am looking for something like that so at the beginning of each week I know how much I can just throw into a savings account or on my credit card?? Something manual so I don’t have to look up and type each week into it and every bill and then grab a calculator to figure out how much I can save!!
Anyway anyone have any ideas cause all I find our budget apps that will wants me to put in how much I spent on this and this and what’s reoccurring and it’s all to much information! I don’t need that I almost need a weekly calculator app lol

2024.05.21 20:16 Arunbenx This is one of the best creationism argument in see. (Indian edition)

This is one of the best creationism argument in see. (Indian edition)
I have seen many god in the gaps, intelligent design and fine tuning argument, most of them are really stupid and can be debunked easily. But there are some argument that you need some level of scientific knowledge to debunk it. Which are really rare especially in India. I believe this is one of those videos. (I couldn't do it, due to the lack of knowledge) but i believe some with very low Scientific temperament (like me) can be easily fooled by this. Actually I would like u/PranavYedlapalli to react to this video, even though the is video in Malayalam. (I believe he can understand Malayalam)
For those who don't understand Malayalam i had done a rough translation.
The translation.
When we observe the universe, a lot of things are pointing to a creator. It's an obvious logic.
When we look at mount rushmore do we ever think of it happens of natural causes, we know there is a creator, some one or a few people made that. Just like that when we observe the universe and our body, it's clear that there is a creator. When It comes to topic like creation of universe and our body, atheist would say it's undirected. Without direction, just through evolution this all had happened. But if we dig deeper we would realise that it is impossible to imagine universe without a creator.
This is Fred Hoyle, (a picture) he is a scientist. What makes him special is that he was one of the greatest atheist in 1940-80s. There is a theory called steady state theory. Regarding the creation of this universe there where two theory, one steady state theory and other Big Bang theory. The steady state theory state's that the universe has no beginning nore an end. For an atheist which theory would be more acceptible. It's steady state theory. In that the universe don't have a beginning, if there is a beginning the we have to find the reasoning for it's creation and it's creator. If there is no beginning, they don't have to find that. At those times all the atheist accepted steady state theory. After that the theory of Big Bang came, which talks about an explosion occurring at point of sinclarity. This is a different topic. I'm not gonna talk about this now.
The name big bang was given by Fred Hoyle, InFact he mocked that theory by calling it a "big bang". The theory's opponent (Fred Hoyle) given the name for that theory. After few a years Fred Hoyle become a theist. The reason was not big bang.... But it's fine tuning, it a bit complex but I will explain it.
(Okay, I'm not gonna translate the entire speech word by word, it's only been 6min to the 38min video, I'm exhausted. I'm only gonna translate the relevant points now onwords.)
After that he ask the audience "what's the most important element for us?" He waited for someone to say carbon, then started talking about different forms of carbon. "From diamond to Ash alot of things are carbon." The he goes on. " Carbon is important for the sustenance of life, and the Fred hoyle want to know how carbon was formed." Then he start talking about nuclear fusion, how everyother atom is formed by fusion of hydrogen. Then he goes on to explain how carbon was formed using fusion. He said "for carbon to form they need a specific value of force, and specific value of quark is needed for high energy carbons. So what's he (Fred hoyle) understood from that was their should be a design, or else this specific values can't occur. Then he goes on, how the gravity is affecting the temperature of the Star. Where too much or too little gravity would over heat or under heat the star, which won't lead to carbon formation. Then he goes on, even if the value of the gravitational constant change by 1/10³⁵, even then there couldn't be a carbon. Even a small decimal could prevent carbon formation and that made atheist Fred hoyle to a theist.
Then a quote of Fred hoyle.
Which clearly state that there's no blind force and it's clear without any doubt, it's intelligent design.
Then he goes on explaining how minor change in these values would prevent life from forming.
Change in 1/25 of Electro magnetic Force would prevent life form.
Same for Strong Nuclear Force, 1 part in 100 would prevent the universe from forming.
Same for
Ratio of weak nuclear force to SNF - 1 part in 10000
Ratio of EMF to Gravity - 1 part in 10⁴⁰.
Which futher proof fine tuning.
(Ok the next part is kinda obvious, even i know it's stupid.)
He talks about earth and it's position to sun, how it's not too close nore too far, so that life can form. He talks about the rotation and revolution of earth, how a change would increase or decrease the days which makes life impossible here. And how position of Jupiter Stop astroids. Then the size of moon and position play's a huge role in lunar tide, which play's a huge role in life forming on the earth. Futher he talks about the Axis, speed, sunlight. Which all are fine tuned.
Then he talks about the probability of this being random. With an experiment, in a box there is cards with 1 to 10 numbers. What is the possibility of drawing the 10 cards in the exact order (1 to 10) from the first being one is 1/10 and gos on. And the chance to get it all in order is 1/ 10 crores. Even a simple explanation like that has only 1/10 crores chance. Which means the possibility of getting this is very less.
Then gives the Infinite monkey therom typing hamlet example. Then he try to calculate the possibility of typing just the sentence
"to be or not to be, that is the question"
To get "T" correct: 1/32
To get "TO" correct : 1/32 x 1/32
To get complete correct: 1/(5.1422017e+061)
Assume: Monkey typing one line(41 strokes per second)
Probability that monkey won't get the sentence correct in one second: 1-(1/32)41
•Probability that monkey won't get it in one minute : [1-(1/32)41]60
•Probability that monkey won't get it in one year: {[[[1-(1/32)41]60]60]24}365
Which is
0.9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999993867218 44366784484760952487499968756116464000
Even if we take 1700 crore years
Probability is
0.99999999999999999999999999999999999999999998946 3961512816564762914005246488858434168051444149065 728
Till now he was talking about a single monkey, now let's take
17 billion galaxies, each with 17 billion planets, each with 17 billion monkeys, typing one line per second for 17 billion years!
Probability that monkey don't type this sentence:
0.9999999999999465759379507781960794856828386656482641321881042993265961 42975867879656916416973433628!!
The chance of getting a single sentence is so low, Hance this all being a chance it really low.
Then he kinda compare this with multiverse theory.
Then he ends with Occam's razor philosophy, where the simplest explaination is the best. He gives an example, imagine when you wake up in the morning, and the food is readied. What would be the possible explain, the simplest and most possible explanation is someone in your house cooked it rather than some complex explanation, of someone from outside bringed it, which is even though possible. The chances is low. The multiverse theory and everything like that is a complex explanation, we need a simplest explaination. And he also given a example of founding iPhone in a desert. You could have a simplest example where someone lost it, and a complex on where the iPhones chipset is made up of silica with is sand and the body is plastic which is made by petroleum product. So you could also say in this thousands of years the sand and petroleum converted some how to form an iPhone. It's complex, make it simple so someone lost It.
The reason why i think it's the best is just my subjective feeling, and i never seen some put creationism argument this.
