   Congratulations, if you're playing "Where's Freddie ...?" Unless you're a creditor, process server, or vendor...you have found him here at the Fred's Bar & Grill Web-page. Come on in, sit down and stay awhile. This Web-page is designed to entertain, enlighten, and allow me to rave about whatever topic I feel like - after all, it is my Website!
ABOUT ME: Everyone calls me Fred (well most everyone, we won't go into what others call me - I intend to keep this a family friendly site!). I guess it's easier than Friedrich and it's a heck of a lot easier to spell. I was called Fritz until I was around 13 or so, didn't really like the name too much, but what can ya do! I still have a couple of relatives and at least one friend that calls me Fritz...more to irritate than ingratiate... I'm a young 50 something who's had the opportunity to get around a little bit and see the world. I enjoy humor, though most of my humor tends to be on the gallows side. I have strong political viewpoints - some of them may get posted here from time to time - I still work for the government so I do try to be descreet...except when some boneheaded issue comes up that I just can't keep it in. I travel the world with an open mind...I enjoy experiencing new cultures and trying to expand my awareness of others. I love what I do, whether working or traveling...most importantly I believe in what I do...and I think I do make a difference. I play at anthropology...and I think I've made every goal in life that I've set for myself except maybe to become an astronaut...professional basketball player...comedian....okay, well you get the picture.
I currently am the Chief of the Security Division for the Department of Defense's Defense Commissary Agency. I'm a former police sergeant; investigator; deputy sheriff; deputy constable; sailor; airman (even made Chief Master Sergeant); and amusement park ride operator. So if you're looking for me you're in luck - you've found me! You may also write to me at steinf@msn.com. "Fred's Bar & Grill!" as the name implies, is mine, for posting my thoughts, my opinions, and where people can reach out to contact me and my friends. The thoughts and ramblings I put forth are mine, and mine alone. They do not reflect the positions of my Country (United States of America); my Employer; or my Family - in fact my thoughts may not even reflect my own opinion if I am trying to get a rise out of someone. I enjoy writing...hopefully some will come across as witty and entertaining...others will be serious. Hopefully my sense of humor will not offend - but if it does, sorry and you're free to not continue reading or go elsewhere! The fact is I plan that someday I will pass on to the next world and hope to leave something behind...it won't be money, so might as well be my words. Writing could be my true talent...or my undoing. It's certainly gotten me into hot water from time to time. I only ask the comments left or emails to me be polite or at least civil. Please no vulgarity or nudity. Let's keep this area "PG" or at least "PG-17" No, I am not interested in buying things offered. If I want to buy on line I will go to Amazon.com.
Not interested in hooks...crooks...flings; nooners; sooners or other enticements. I'm not looking for school girls needing to pay their way...nor bored housewives, hook-ups, or even sheep! I already have my degree; my equipment is big enough that no one ever complained (something to be said for politeness); I have all the credit I want; I'm not going bald; and I do not suffer from ED (didn't even know what that was until my email got jammed up with ads).
I do not have relatives in Nigeria, Croatia, Iraq or other parts of the world. So I did not inherit any money from long lost relatives. For those who have found me "trustworthy," and want me to enter into a scheme for getting money out of various countries. If you truly know me you would know that: 1) I KNOW A SCAM WHEN I SEE ONE; 2) If legitimate, pay the taxes and remove the funds legitimately; 3) Please remove me from your "mark" lists! For those that ask me to "re-post" if I am paying attention - I do pay attention; please don't ask me to re-post to prove that. If you want to know if I am paying attention to you, just ask me a question and see if I respond. If I don't respond it's because I'm traveling and not checking my postings; I have not had time to respond yet; or for one-reason or another I chose not to respond (a wise-man once said, that anything not said, does not have to be taken back). If you want to become my friend, thank you! True friends are so hard to find! If you end up on my email list you may receive copies of emails that I find worthy of sharing. Please note that I do no t intentionally forward racist or sexist material. Not that I am politically correct, but I am sensitive to those whom I forward email! If you are a friend or wish to become a friend, thank you!
