Any useful advise I can give my brother? He's 68, still working, has trouble keeping his credit card account below the maximum. He seems to be a sucker for offers over the phone. Thank God he stopped giving money he didn't have to a "friend." He'll inherit about $170,000 this month and I sure hope he won't squander it away.

My landlord came by today and brought my mail and there was check from the IRS. Since last century I had my taxes done at H&R Block but this year because I was not physically able to go there my cousin did them for me. I mailed her everything and she mailed it back to me. I checked my records; I paid them them back April. I didn't see where I had paid them twice. I remember later getting a letter with my tax forms saying that I hadn't signed it. So I did and returned it. Oh well.

If the IRS sends a check you're not expecting they usually send a letter too. I got a check this year and three weeks later came a notice explaining it.

One of the money experts on the radio said don't get long term insurance if you can afford to pay for a long term facility. About six years ago insurers discovered they were way underfunded. They told my Mom she could continue the coverage she had for about twice the monthly payment or keep the same payment and lose any inflation in benefits. Since she was 85 at the time, it was an easy choice. Six months after starting using the insurance for in-home care, she no longer had to make monthly payments. She had accumulated $300,000 in insurance benefits, but only used $12,000 before she passed away last year.

I just got back from a weekend in the Bay Area.....seems like I caught a cold there. I'll heat up some left over Chinese food.

I still liked Campus Theater more.

I'm interested in checking it out especially after going to the show last Wednesday. Wondering if anyone from here is going? Or has gone and can share if its worth it.

I've gone. There are a lot of good looking guys hanging around naked. They have $20 lap dances for about 5 or 6 minutes (2 songs). I haven't done any private rooms - I think that's $100 plus tip for 20 minutes. I liked it, but I'm not sure everyone would. I would have liked to see "Mr. Biggs."

Yikes! My nephew's birthday is tomorrow.

Why don't others post more?[/Quote

I guess I have other things to do. 444 messages in 16 years is about .076 per day.

Growing up in the late 60s in the Midwest US we called them thongs, too.

Even in California I still call them thongs. We used to call them zories, also.

If you google Timmy Maurer, you get Christian Power AKA Timmy Maurer.

No.

I tell my sister what color sweatpants I want for Xmas. Have literally over 100 t-shirts, plus all the shorts, underwear, & socks I need.

 

What else is there?

I must have over 100 t-shirts, too, at least half bought at woot.com, or more specifically shirt.woot.com. Some are fun, like the tin man with a red x where his heart ought to be, or colonel mustard with the wrench in the library attacking professor plum. I like to amuse the staff at my nine week every day radiation therapy by wearing a different t-shirt every day. Tomorrow is my last day!

One of my friends agrees, whatever insulting statement someone makes, just say Thank you.

I never use straws in cold drinks. I like the drinks to be COLD. Drinking from a straw gets the drink near the bottom of the glass. Without the straw, you get the drink at the top of the glass, where the ice is.

The newspaper often refers to molesting, and I always wonder what that is.

Today was a new record - 18 days in a row over 100 - and all this week is predicted to be over 100.

There are two card rooms where I live and about four Indian casinos within 50 miles. I went to one Indian casino once for dinner. Haven't gambled anywhere else except a little in Reno, Las Vegas and Atlantic City. I played blackjack in all three Trump casinos and won in each. The last one I played for about 15 minutes and quit as soon as I was ahead.

People often talk about what they'd buy if they won the lottery. I'm too cheap to gamble. But my father told me if I were to win to put the money in the bank and only use the interest to spend.

Don't put it in the bank - the interest won't pay your electric bill. At the very least buy some blue chip stocks that pay over 3% dividends.

I like the art building, the home arts, the horse races, the commercial building, the singers that are on all day long (one sings mainly Patsy Cline songs), the ag building, the county history museum, the flower building, some other side acts, even like to look at the pigs and cows. I usually miss the headline show at night. Wow....that used to be free...now it's $48/38/33 for Boy George. .. I'm behind the times - never heard of the other acts - looks like mostly country. The fair is usually free for seniors on Columbus Day. Maybe the pig races will be back. I go almost every year.

I don't understand the pronoun thing. If you're talking to me, it's Richard or sir or you (oops, thats' a pronoun) or Mr. Me. If you're using pronouns, then you're talking about me, and I'm not listening.

It's $17. 55 per month and comes every morning in a plastic bag on my patio before 6 am. It's now printed 160 miles away, half the staff is gone (or 160 miles away) and nothing that happens after 5 pm appears the next day. There is now one page of classified. The death notices now only have name, age, city, date of death, and funeral home...and the print is so small you need a magnifying glass to read. At least the comics and puzzles still take up two pages. They can't find much to write about - the front page today has a story about a prominent family suing each about an inheritance of an $800,000 ranch. I wish it still had Miss Manners -but she's been gone for over 20 years.

I haven't heard anyone say chop chop in over 20 years.

Awesome

You' re reminding me of an experience I had long ago. I met a guy and went to his home. He got out his vibrator to use on me. I thought yuck, and went home. I met him again few months later. We went to his home, he got out the vibrator again, and I immediately went home again.

If he didn't want ejaculation he should have said use a condom or no way.
