chess online

Not worth my time here.

So would I. And leave out the Rock and Roll band that sold their souls.

Well, actual, I appreciate soultosqueeze finding the ALT. Because I would have found it otherwise (unless someone else did  ). But what if no one found an ALT. until it became a daily puzzle?! Talk about knightmare!

I like classical music instead of jazz or pop or rock.
I guess I lost my marbles somewhere after 1957 when I was born.
Soul,
When will you take me off your ignore list so I can at least make a comment on your actions around here? Do I have to goad you to say anything?
I don't have you on my ignore list.
Am I that much of a threat to you?

I am trying to reach soultosqueeze to get me off his ignore list.
I like him in many ways (I lived in Germany in the Army).
I would think we could both talk to each other about Germany on the side away from this site.
I sorta want to be able to talk to him about my time in Germany.
He is above the 2000 level and therefore he is above my rating.
I was put on his ignore list through a misunderstanding about the star rating system. I wrongly thought he was cursing me and the stars represented foul language. I responded abrasively.
But it was too late.

So, Soultosqueeze, you have to trust my feelings or continue to ignore me. I do not ignore you. But if I could bait you to let me back into your world I would feel better about the whole misunderstanding.

Yes I baited you here and I should be whipped for doing it.
But I do want to include you on my friend's list and talk about Germany.

It is your decision and I will leave it up to you.
I loved Germany when I was there in the US Army.
I play classical guitar and the Highland Bagpipes.

In rock I like The Animals, The Doors, Black Sabbath, Blue Oyster Cult, Led Zep, Boston, The Who, Pink Floyd, U2, and more.

But these groups were before your time I think and I think we are just not at a meeting table.
Reinstate me for the love of Germany alone.
I would rather live the rest of my life in Germany in Hanau, Darmstadt, Friedberg, Geisson, Heidelberg, Ramstein AFB, Idar Oberstein, Wurtzberg, Fliegerhorst, Winterburg, Essen, Karlsrue, Bombhoulder, Garmisch, Lake Chemsee, anywhere than where I am. I have been all over Germany clear down to the south and north and west and east because I had companies of Soldiers I had to be with while I was in the 709th MP (Tactical) Battalion of the 11th MP Brigade.

I can't travel anymore even across the states here. I am in Fort Knox and I enjoyed your German Soldiers I have met and seen in formation.
Yes I was Army. But I got to see the world and Germany is my heart. My second born daughter was born in Hanau at the Krankenhouse there.
To date she has dual citizenship with Germany and the US.

Just because I was in the Army does not mean I lost my marbles. I've seen places in third world countries and dealt with that in Haiti, Bosnia, Panama and other places.
I've been in the worst and best places.
I am an American retired (disabled) from my US Army.

I play chess to meet people. Not to beat them or get angry with them. I play chess now because it brings me back to a home I had long ago with my father. It makes me feel at home with him.
