Before they banned me, I had been designated the #1 poster for Paris and even the #1 poster for France. And then they decided that they didn't like me anymore because my replies to certain members were a bit too honest. I stayed away for two years before authorising them to reinstate me.
I am waiting for Trip Advisor to fall, as it certainly will sooner or later, since its ratings are total bullshit.

Please check out the 3 restaurants at the bottom of this message and... .......... Provide an alternative restaurant (listed on TripAdvisor!) that serves the same cuisine nearby and is loved by locals. The nerve! Of course they sent you a fat check to cover all these meals, plus a form to fill out showing how much time you spent doing it so that they can reimburse you for your time at a rate commensurate with that of a top restaurant critic.

I guess they thought that Paris was dipping its drinking supply out of the Seine right next to Notre Dame, just like the London Eye is a water wheel to pull water out of the Thames for Londoners.

My generous person was from S Africa where he was custodian of a portrait of a large painting done of his grandfather who was a king in the tribal times. His brother wants to sell painting to get money for daughter's operation as she will die otherwise. Painting done by famous artist worth squillions. If I could lend them some cash and take the painting as surety they will repay loan with high interest and retain the painting again.
So logical and simple! Not the usual OTT presentation. I was bored so I strung him along...describe the painting, history of grandfather...daughter's medical condition etc Then I told him he was a bastard for trying to rip off old ladies.

My duck is called Donald Trump. Naturally I assumed this was a coded message to the other members of the Illuminati, so I fed it into the 21st Century version of the Enigma de-coder to see what relationship Trump had with ducks. It was very interesting, shocking, but interesting....

Is Ghusl (bath) Fard after these two situations? 1) I am unable to marry and I cannot fast due to certain reasons. I am a person who is easily sexually aroused and have erections very often. Many times when I have erections after sometime (when the penis is erect or relaxing after an erection) a drop or two of fluid comes out. This fluid is sticky and a little white. I do not have an orgasm or ejaculate with force I just have an erection. I need to know if Ghusl is Fard on me every time I experience this? I have erections like this many times. a) Watching pornography, b) looking at attractive woman, c) while even praying Salah and when I go to sleep I have erotic and sexual dreams and thoughts and have erections. When I wake up, I see one or two stains of the fluid I mentioned above, on my underwear, which is white. As soon as I experience an erection, after a really short time this fluid will come out of my penis (only one or two drops will come out due to pressure). I think this in a natural reaction for men once they receive an erection and before they have an orgasm or ejaculate with force. Also I do not remember ever having any wet dreams and I do not think this is what you call wet dreams! 2) Is Ghusl Fard if one masturbates (penis receives sexual pleasure) but does not ejaculate, if the answer is yes to what extent must one receive pleasure before Ghusl is Fard? Or is it only Fard after ejaculation?

On a lighter note....
Question:
I have one question and I hope I could be as clear as possible. I have heard that selling or buying dogs is Haraam, in the sense of being in the business itself; or for example since we have a dog in our garden and now we are leaving the villa so we have to give the dog away or sell him. So if we sell it is it Haraam? I do know that dogs are dirty thus they are Haraam but if we do not touch them, and just leave them as guards, is it still Haraam?
Fatwa:
As regards selling dogs, in principle it is forbidden to sell, buy or keep dogs and their price is forbidden. The Prophet said: "Whoever keeps a dog, two Qirats (a huge portion) of the reward of his good deeds is deducted daily unless the dog is used for guarding a cattle or for hunting." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]; in a different narration reported by Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) the following expression is added: "…or a farm dog." Imam Al-Bukhari and Muslim (may Allah have mercy upon them) also reported that the Prophet forbade the price of a dog, and informed us that its price is evil.
However, some scholars (may Allah have mercy upon them) permitted buying and selling dogs, and permitted their price in cases when it is lawful to keep a dog; their evidence is the narration reported by An-Nasa'ee which reads: "The Prophet forbade the price of a dog with the exception of the price of a hunting dog." Ibn Hajar said: 'The narrators of this narration are trustworthy; and since it is permissible to keep a dog for the above purposes, then it is permissible to sell and buy it for the purposes for which it is permissible to keep dogs, and this view is closer to the truth.'
The ruling of trading in dogs is the same with regard to buying and selling them.
Therefore, keeping dogs, selling them and buying them, and trading with them, [all of these] are forbidden in principle, unless they are only used for the purposes which are permissible to keep them for, i.e. for guarding a farm, a cattle or for hunting, and there is no harm in all this.
With regard to the ruling of touching a dog, we have already clarified in many previous Fatawas that its saliva and flesh are impure, but its skin and hair are pure.
Allah Knows best.

There were some village dogs in Lombok. The people would toss out the left over foods for them but never touch them.They are considered impure because they take so much enjoyment licking their genitalia, and cats don't. Maybe the writer of # 468 should observe dogs more.

I have mentioned this before somewhere or other, but one of the most awful things regularly related to us concerned dogs. (For anybody who has missed this shameful part of my life, I worked for Saudi Arabian Airlines for 35 years.) We were in the heart of the Saudi part of town, and next door there was an apartment building where Saudi families would rent luxurious flats for their holidays (since nothing is more horrible than staying in Saudi Arabia for one's holiday). Many of them would get pet dogs, because their children absolutely loved them. For one or two months the children would play with their dogs, take them for walks, share their ice cream with them, sleep with them in bed... and at the end of the holiday, the dogs would be abandoned, either left in the apartment or thrown out into the street.
We were gutted every time we were told one of the stories.

That is utterly horrible. However not very long ago this was also the case in many Western countries. I remember posters in Italy "reminding" people not to abandon their dogs and cats on holiday.
By the way, cats pleasure themselves as well. Just more discreet than dogs in all respects, as cats and dogs hunted so differently (foxes, also canines, hunt more like cats).

I fear people still abandon pet animals. There is a refuge close to work from which I got a dog and a cat (pacha - my favorite - yes according to Whatagain' religion you can have favorite for animals). This refuge is always full. Upon coming back from holiday I'll pursue a colleague' idea and organise a day of walking their dogs. With the colleague. Because it is her idea.

Out of morbid curiosity, I visited an incel forum today.
They live in a very scary, horrible world.
