Do you see the crime rate increasing in your area?

It is mostly young people committing these crimes. It is sad to see 19 and 20 year old's die because someone has no self control but owns a gun. A 14 year old killed a 60 year old man for money. Don't these kids see the consequences of what they are doing?

A questions about points?

I see many posts about the points, why should I care about points? What do they do and what can I do with them?. It seems I am missing something here. Can I spend them like green stamps, or shop with them.? I don't seems to care about the points, what am I missing? Is there a secret I don't know

Is this a strange ocurrance?

Yesterday about 1:30 PM, the guy was mowing my lawn and the police came by to tell him to be quiet with the lawnmower!

Maybe I should cut the grass with a sissors. For petes sake it is the middle of the afternoon, lawnmowers are NOT quiet machines,

Do You Have Household Help?

As I have gotten older I find that it becomes harder and harder to work full time, do errands AND keep my home as clean and neat and orderly as I would prefer. I just run out of energy much sooner than I run out of things to do! ;-)

My eldest daughter has a maid who comes in twice a month as her schedule is so jam tight...but I don't think I can afford it :-(

What do you do to keep your housework done? or do you just let it 'go' ?

Ok folk! What do you care about more: The points or the friends you are making?

Personality: It is the friends, from all over this little globe I call home.
I could give a rat' a#@ about the points or the thumbs down & violations.
You! Who are about to become my friend, are what is important.
The folks, that can't seem to get a handle on having fun, I feel really really sorry for.
I rhyme worth crap & yes ! I know that and maybe you get offended by a remark made in a story etc. IT'S JUST A FUN STORY FOLKS!!! My dragon gets taken in vain on a regular basis in these stories.
What has to be said to get you to understand?
You want this site to look like some of the other ones? I sure in heck don't.

Senior Men: Do You Live in the Past?

Older women are so practical........

After being married for 44 years, John took a careful look at his wife one day and said, "Honey, 44 years ago we had a cheap apartment, a cheap car, slept on a sofa bed, and watched a 10-inch black and white TV- but I got to sleep every night with a hot 25-yr old gal! Now I have a $500,000.00 home, a $45,000.00 car, nice big bed and plasma screen TV.

BUT I'm sleeping with a 65- yr old woman :-( It seems to be that you're not holding up your side of things".

His wife was a very reasonable woman. She told him to go out and find a hot 25-yr old gal, and she would make sure that he would once again be living in a cheap apartment; driving a cheap car, sleeping on a sofabed and watching a 10-inch black and white TV.

Aren't older women great? They really know how to solve your mid life crisis! lol

What role did you play???

Yesterday, many folks joined in on a story line that went around the world. It made people laugh & come together as friends & even clan members. I have been getting e-mails from all over the orb to prove it & not one has been nasty-NOT ONE!!!
Everyone was having fun & laughing.
So what role did you play? Were you one of the ones who thumbed down replies or questions? Did you add to the laughter by doing that? Did you get your jollies off too?
Do you have something against laughter & folks having fun?
Have you joined a group that delights in doing that?
Did you post a nasty reply?
Our laughter went around the world, how far did your nastiness go?

How is the best way for a senior citizen to make new friends?

I don't like noisy crowded places, pubs or clubs, and don't smoke.

My interests seem to be either solo and home based, or don't involve crowds, eg the countryside.

I lack confidence, and rediculously shy, except with animals and birds, and been stuck in a rut over the last few years.

Any helpful suggestions please?

Have you ever shopped at goodwill store?

I am thinking of giving it a try. My friend looks like she stepped out of a department store everyday and she shops for all her things at goodwill. It also serves a good purpose or 2. You can get rid of things you dont need that are still good. The money goes to a good cause.

Do you wonder why you put up with all the crap given to you by a lot of people during your long lifetime?

It angers me quite often when I remember things that I had to put up with on some really bad jobs or situations. On the other hand, I figure that I should just give the world the big finger and laugh, because I made it through life, and did alright, in spite of all the sh*t I was handed.
If I had a glass of wine to raise, I would say, "Here's to all you unfriendly and abusive people that I had to work with on some of the worst jobs that I've ever worked on, and my wish to you all is that you had to spend the rest of your working days on that same crappy job that I left in good time."

I know, I know, I sound a little bitter, but I'm working on it and trying to get over it. Growing up with abuse, then discovering much later in life that I probably had ADHD as a child, still have it I suppose, doesn't make for a life of ease, but I did alright. I'm retired now, and live with my wife in a very close and loving relationship. So that ain't so bad.

Why dont young people respect our elderly people?

What happened to respect? I think people dont respect our elderly people because we as Americans has lost control of our children? We stopped teaching our children how to love and how to listen and respect eachother....Our Elders have so much wisdom to give to us if only we would give them our time,love and respect. they are the foundation of this once great country..whom we have taken out our Heavenly Father, and the love of God, and our Elders.....

Was anybody else scared of nuclear war when they were growing up.?

I was because my dad was on the Civil Defense council and the talk was all about building bomb shelters and how long we would have to remain in them after the bomb, and what supplies you would need, and what would happen to the animals outside and what the fallout would do to us.
Now it is probably more of a reality but I was more afraid as a child.

May I get personal? Was anyone adopted? Adopted a child or children themselves? Know someone personally?

involved in adoption? If it is too personal I understand if not many want to answer. I'd hope if you have a story to relate and do not want to use your normal avatar you would consider doing it in disguise. I don't want anyone to talk about a deep issue like this if they'd rather remain private. We might not want something this personal to be common knowledge over the internet. After the answers I will edit to explain why I ask this question. Those of us older had a stigma attached to this situation that does not seem as relevant today.
