      I had a few fries, minced beef Bretons, and a nice salad with all kinds of things in it (cheese, nuts, raisins, tiny bacon pieces etc).

      I prefer the full length episodes. 
 
  I did notice at some point the editing was weird a couple of times. For instance Terry saying they were going to tether the horses to go check something out concerning the prey. You then see them tie the horses to a tree. But the very next scene both Terry and his sidekick are riding their horses again? I was like, "Did I doze off???" I was curious what Terry had planned to do but never got to see it. Oh well, I've seen most episodes by now, so it's okay to get a bit bored with it, hihi. I have enjoyed it though. Some episodes were really good. You know, I'm not certain but I think maybe in season 3 the area they were in was more equal in chances for both tracker and prey. In other episodes it was mostly in favour of the prey, always having opportunity to get up or down a high slope or something. That's what was p*ssing the tracker of, but me as well. Takes the fun out of it when you know the prey do that each and every time. Makes it too predictable. Time for something new :)  |

      Having watched quite a lot of them now, close to all of 'em, I feel the first ones I watched were the best. I believe those were all season 3 episodes. 
 
  After those I kind of feel the same as you. But maybe that's also because I binge them. Often when you watch a show on and on it starts to wear thin. Whereas if you watch 1 a week they remain exciting and fresh for a long time.  |

      I do agree with that, but that's not what's going on here at all. So the fascism label isn't applicable at all. 
 
  You can be okay with religions and other cultures but doesn't mean they fit into your own country. Skin colour is irrelevant. The way it is we are being discriminated, have less rights and get less and pay more for the same services. And many refugees aren't even refugees but fortune seekers. And they pose a serious threat to us -esp girls and women- based on their religion and cultural beliefs. Maybe you're okay with all that, I'm not. We too have rights and being safe in your own country is certainly one of them. And I know this is the same in all western EU countries, including Germany. That immediately sets aside Ukrainian people who are real refugees, and generally very well behaved. They also blend into our culture more easily. They're also very grateful for what they get. That's how it should be.  |

     Since you mention finding the first 4 seasons on Tubi...
 
I haven't come across a single episode beyond season 4 on YouTube either? And there have been 7 seasons... I watched a couple of them last night, I will say that the ones on tubi, I do not think they are in order. By looking at the wiki site for the show, it says the first season is only 24 minute shows and season 2-7 are 46 minute shows...all the ones on tubi look to be the 46 minute shows. And the show they list as Season one, Episode one, one of the guys on it talks about watching the show for a while...lol Season 7 should be an easy one to spot also, it will have Chad Savage Lenz as the mantracker instead of the Terry Grant you like... I've come across the shorter ones on YT as well. And I read about the replacement tracker. Only one season so I gather he wasn't liked as much. A daft move of production. You can't simply replace a main character, not even on a docu. They should've given Terry the pay-rise he wanted. Better lose a bit of money than to lose the entire show and all your income of it.  |

      I've always believed in it, found it too but it didn't last.
 
  I still believe in it, but what I do see a helluva lot with men my age is that they demand way too many things. The image they have of a partner is too detailed, totally filled in. It leaves little room for... anything really. For instance, they play golf and expect & demand you play it too, or you have to learn it. They ride a motor bike and expect you to as well, or you will have to learn it. It's all 'must do this' and 'must have that' and must be this'. In the end you get something that no person can live up to. And why can't men simply keep an open mind and curiosity about who someone is and what they're like? Then there's a vast group that never had children. Their lifestyle isn't compatible as all they do is go to parties, festivals, concerts, hiking, sky-diving, more parties & festivals and so on.  |

     https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/dutch-elections-rob-jetten-geert-wilders-results-b2855067.html That looks pretty tight alright. But let's hope, that fascist will be kicked out  
Geert Wilders is not a fascist! He's the one who wants to stop our country from being exploited. Which has happened for decades and has bled us dry. It needs to stop. Women and young girls aren't even safe anymore, get attacked, pulled off bicycles, threatened, harassed and so on. We have become prisoners in our own country. Aside from that, our own population numbers are declining, yet the number of inhabitants has increased a helluva lot! This is caused by the vast amount of refugees we have to take on. And most of them are from cultures that do not gel with ours. It's gotten out of hand and has to stop. It's utterly ridiculous that the majority of our people voted for Geert Wilders in 2023, yet he didn't become our PM because other politicians were pestering him and refused to form a coalition with him? But... we are a democracy?! Meaning we get the PM & leadership we choose! It clearly doesn't work that way. That is fascism. Not him and what he wants. What he wants is what would revive our country, something we direly need.  |

     I see tubi has the first four season there (free). I will add it to the list of shows to watch...lol https://tubitv.com/series/300006576/mantracker Yes, check it out! I think it's a good show. Just something different to watch. What I do find shocking is that the 'prey' sometimes use barely visible tripwire. That I find ridiculous as it could serious hurt the tracker and/or his horse. So I guess their backpacks aren't checked before the start. At some point a woman threated the tracker with a slingshot? The interesting thing to observe is that almost all underestimate the primal fear of being capture/killed. They brag about their physical strength and bladibla. Yet often, when it's all over, they all say it feels like being chased by a real (serial) killer. The primal fear gets triggered which they clearly had no knowledge of. Except when they had 2 military vets that were trained for exactly that. It does make me wonder how many of them have recurring nightmares afterwards, hihi. I'd never participate myself. F that! But to watch it on the screen... good entertainment!  |

      Love works out the way you are. In other words, what resonates with you.
 
  If you have a skewed belief & view about relationships, that's what you will attract & manifest. If your self-esteem and self-love, feeling of worthiness, are low, you cannot attract a great partner. If you have a good healthy view & belief of relationships, healthy levels of self-love and self-esteem, it shouldn't be very difficult. Love certainly isn't hard work and fighting for it to last and so on. In a good relationship you may have the occasional bump, but you talk about it and move on.  |

      Feeling good :) 
 
  Went to get more knitting yarn for the pixy vest I'm making, then got some more groceries in, taking advantage of the fact I was with the car. Meaning I can get more heavy stuff in one go than on my bicycle. Now done. Coffee, cake, got a nice lasagna for dinner.  |

     He's only 5' 9" without the hat. Considering I'm never going to meet him nor date him that doesn't matter. But have to disappoint you regardless: he's 1,83m. Which is the exact height I'd like a man to be   
I hadn't bothered to look up his height, now I did, and it makes him even more appealing now, haha. So thank you!  |

      I happened upon the Mantracker series on YouTube a few days ago. I had never heard of it, decided to watch, and dang, I love it!
 
  Just the whole thing is great, the thrill of it all, the skill of some people, the stupidity of others. Some totally surprise you by how good they are. And the fact that the mantracker is incredibly attractive certainly makes it even more enjoyable to watch

      Feeling relieved, hihi ---> Meggie is back!
 
  Yeehaaa! She's fed as well, including from the bowls of the other 2 cats. Greedy kitty-cat!  |

      Mildly concerned... I went for a walk and my li'l Meggie was curious. I was afraid she'd follow me and I kept checking all the time, looking back. 
 
  Didn't see anything, but now she's not coming home for her meal, which is highly unusual for her.  |

      Elections this time are so exciting!
 
  It's a real close call between the one that won last time and another party. It's still swings & roundabouts who will win as not all votes are in yet. Right now the one I voted for and I want up top is nr 1, but that can still change. We had early elections as they couldn't work out their differences. We always have coalitions, not a single party, which in itself is FU. And no one wanted to cooperate with the one that won the elections. Now he could end up as Nr 1 choice, again. How democratic is a country when the one people chose gets pushed out of the way by other parties that were not favoured by the people? My idea is, if you do not want to cooperate with the one that is the people's choice... FO!!! Democracy means the people choose who they want to represent them. Yet it seems the unchosen ones just push for what suits them? Not sure what you call that, but not democracy. It can take until Tuesday for all votes to be in. Votes from expats but also from for instance Aruba, Curacao etc. It's literally been decades since we've had reasonably decent government. The last one was totally absurd. Managed to stay on another 4 years even though his legal term had run out?! The man had his nose so far up the EU that he had a brown ring round his nose. He ruined our country, but lined his own pockets and future. Sounds like a 3rd world country, doesn't it. Scary this chit is even possible in a 1st world country! Fingers crossed we'll get lucky this time!!  |

      So they're trying to give the site and activity on the site a boost.
 
  But to make that a bit of an exciting challenge they shouldn't reset it every 48 hours. I'm not going to work my sexy hiney off liking loads of people (that I don't like hihi) to get points to then have them disappear that fast. I feel I should get rewarded for liking more people. With -let's say- 100 popularity points, haha. And if you don't play this game your profile will drop down on the site. That's blackmail! I want my money back! Oh wait... it's a free site, hihi.  |
