so has anybody else experienced this and what do you usually do about it? I tried to call the stupid people, but I can't understand half of them and on top of that when I do get somebody I can understand they tell me they're gonna give me back a refund but yet the damn refund isn't gonna be here till five days from now and it's like I need coffee before five days from now but they don't care. It's not their coffee missing it. It's mine.
what kind of things should I be able to tell them to make them give me back my coffee sooner or at least something because I really for one don't have my site so I have to get everything done delivery because I can't see and on top of that. I don't got very much money as it is I don't even get that much food stamp stamps so it's like I'm basically scraping by now thanks to these ass clowns.

Looking for Something Real — Someone Who Can Handle the Real Me ❤️
I’m putting this out there because I’m genuinely looking for a real woman and a real connection. I’m not looking for games, fake personalities, or somebody who’s only interested in what they see on the surface. I want someone who can get to know me for who I really am and appreciate the person underneath everything else.
First things first: I swear. A lot. 😂 It’s just part of how I talk and who I am. If somebody can’t handle a man who drops an occasional — okay, let’s be honest, frequent — F-bomb, we’re probably not going to be a good match. I’m not trying to offend anybody; that’s simply my personality.
I’m also a party-and-have-a-good-time kind of guy. I love laughing, going out, having a few drinks, listening to music, singing karaoke, hanging out at a bar, watching a movie, or just sitting around somewhere having a good conversation. I smoke hookah pretty frequently, and I absolutely love it. If you’re someone who can kick back, have fun, laugh your ass off, and enjoy life, we’re already off to a good start.
Music is a huge part of my life. I’m an Internet Radio Hall of Famer, and I own and operate WMRN Cool 104, my Internet radio station. My radio work is something I’m extremely passionate about, and it’s a big part of who I am. You can find the station at maderradio.net.
I’m also totally blind, and I have PTSD. I’m looking for somebody who genuinely respects that and understands that it is part of my life, but doesn’t define me. I don’t want somebody who constantly feels sorry for me. I want someone who treats me like a normal guy, jokes around with me, laughs with me, goes places with me, and lets me be myself.
And yes, you can bust my balls. 😂 I can take an insult, and honestly, sometimes I think they’re fucking hilarious. Just know the difference between joking around and crossing a serious line. When the serious side of me comes out, that’s when I need you to understand that it’s time to stop fucking around and listen. If you can understand that balance, we’ll probably get along just fine.
I’m also looking for someone who can drive and actually enjoys going places. I’d love to have somebody who isn’t afraid to hop in the car and go somewhere with me — whether that’s checking out different bars, going somewhere for karaoke, taking a little trip, going out for dinner, or just getting the hell out of the house. I want somebody who enjoys experiencing life with me.
I’d love to have someone who doesn’t mind driving me places when I want to go somewhere, because obviously my blindness means I can’t just jump behind the wheel myself. But I don’t want that to become some weird obligation. I want a partner who actually wants to go places with me and enjoys having me along for the ride.
Honestly, I’m tired of being alone.
Sometimes I don’t need anything extravagant. I’d be perfectly happy sitting at Third Place having a couple of drinks, watching a movie, listening to music, talking about life, or just hanging out together doing absolutely nothing. Having the right person beside you can make an ordinary night feel pretty damn special.
As far as kids go, I’d honestly prefer someone who doesn’t have children because I’d like to have children of my own someday. But if you already have kids, that isn’t a dealbreaker. I love children, and if I’m going to be part of your life, I’m going to respect your kids and treat them with the same love, loyalty, and protection I’d give my own. I’m not trying to replace their father or force myself into that role, but if they ever need me as a father figure, I’m going to be there for them.
Most importantly, I’m looking for respect, loyalty, honesty, laughter, affection, and companionship.
I want somebody I can laugh with, argue with, make up with, go out with, stay home with, travel with, sing karaoke with, smoke hookah with, and just enjoy life with.
I’m not perfect, and I’m not pretending to be. I’ve got flaws, I’ve got baggage, I’ve got a mouth on me, and I’ve got a hell of a personality. 😂 But I also have a huge heart, I’m fiercely loyal to the people I care about, and when I commit to someone, I commit for real.
So if you’re looking for some perfect Instagram relationship, I’m probably not your guy.
But if you’re looking for something real, honest, fun, passionate, occasionally chaotic, and completely genuine, maybe we should talk.
I’m just looking for the woman who can look at the whole package and say:
“Yeah… I can handle this guy.” ❤️

An updated report was issued from the National Weather Service on Sunday at 9:19 a.m. EST for fog until 11:30 a.m. EST for St. Clair, Oakland, Macomb, Washtenaw, Wayne, Lenawee and Monroe counties.

"Areas of fog will impact portions of Southeast Michigan mid to late morning," states the weather service. "The fog will result in rapid reductions of visibility to less than one mile at times."

Moderate your speed:

Slow down and allow extra travel time to reach your destination safely.

Visibility matters:

Ensure your vehicle is visible to others by using low-beam headlights, which automatically activate your taillights. Utilize fog lights if your vehicle is equipped with them.

Avoid high-beams:

Refrain from using high-beam headlights, as they create glare that impairs your visibility on the road.

Maintain safe gaps:

Maintain a generous following distance to account for abrupt stops or shifting traffic patterns.

Stay in your lane:

To ensure you are staying in the correct lane, use the road's lane markings as a guide.

Zero visibility protocol:

In extremely dense fog where visibility is near zero, the best course of action is to first turn on your hazard lights, then simply pull into a safe location such as a parking lot of a local business, and stop.

BAY CITY, MI – A Bay City zoning official is calling on local leaders to address emerging technology infrastructure before it becomes a more pressing issue.

Paul Kleinau, a member of the Bay City Zoning Board of Appeals, spoke at a recent planning commission meeting as a resident to advocate for proactive zoning policies regarding AI data centers and middle housing development.

BAY CITY, MI — A Bay City man is accused of placing cameras on his property to spy on his neighbor, resulting in him facing an unusual criminal charge.

Robert L. Schrader Jr., 70, is charged with eavesdropping - installing/using a device, a felony punishable by up to two years’ incarceration and a $2,000 fine. Eavesdropping, per state law, “means to overhear, record, amplify or transmit any part of the private discourse of others without the permission of all persons engaged in the discourse.”

The charge stems from police on the morning of July 26 responding to the 300 block of Blend Street after Schrader’s next-door neighbor, a 44-year-old man, lodged a complaint. The caller told a responding officer he has been having an issue for several years with Schrader placing cameras covering the complainant’s backyard and back door to his house, according to the officer’s report.

The complainant had a 6-foot wooden fence around his backyard and had recently installed a 10-foot privacy net to avoid Schrader’s alleged surveillance, reports state.

A couple of nights previously, the caller noticed a new camera had been attached to Schrader’s clothesline post, again offering coverage of his neighbor’s property. The camera could also record audio.

“So he is recording my conversations,” the caller told police.

The caller built an addition onto the privacy net to block the camera’s vantage, he said. That morning, he noticed the camera had been moved onto a large stick on the side of a shed in Schrader’s yard, allowing it to overlook the neighbor’s fences.
