It is hard to be sort of close to retirement--10-13 years--to taste it, but to have to wait.
10:07 am

Amen to that, Welki. I'm 52, but I would LOVE to retire and not look back. Alas, the mortgage and car loans must be paid. So, we are stuck in our middle class rut for the foreseeable future.

Yeah, we refinanced to a 15 year mortgage a few years ago. Only pay about 2.7% interest on that. However, the school taxes keep going up, so our escrow payment is now almost more than our mortgage payment. Oy. Never had kids, so we never saw any benefit from that tax investment.
10:25 am
Judi
And public schools here in Delaware still SUCK.
10:26 am
doseffing
Sure you did ... it keeps them off the streets so that they don't spend their days smashing your windows and in theory it helps to prepare them for jobs in the future so they can be employed, earn money, pay taxes and support your pension ... ... at least that's the theory
10:28 am

10:51 am

The word "gelatinous" in general brings to mind flabby, unattractive things. Food or otherwise.
10:51 am
Judi
John Ri6 (from Three's Company) died of either a heart attack or aortic rupture while filming on the set of his last sit-com.
10:52 am

Thanks Judi. I didn't think he shot himself in the head.

Babble time vs Facebook time, such a conundrum.
2:11 pm
Soodle
No conundrum at all Molly. On Facebook I have the the facility to block the snarky keyboard warriors. One click, and I never have to see the snide, sarcastic, downright nasty comments. Just like that. One click- and they are obliterated from my awareness.
2:15 pm
MollyL
Perfect. Peaceful. And yet, from my limited experience with Facebook, there are a lot of crappy comments on all kinds of feeds. Glad you have a one click, serenity feed.
2:17 pm
Soodle
Of course - the sad feeble people who create false profiles, simply to snoop on my profile page, are more difficult to manage. But it's pity I feel for those types of people, really. My wish for these people is that they eventually get a life. :-)
2:21 pm
rururocks
you mean on facebook soode? how do you create a false profile on Facebook? I haven't seen it
2:22 pm
MollyL
No one can "snoop your profile page" at Facebook unless you "friend" them. Plenty of false profiles here at Babble though.
2:23 pm
rururocks
you mean "fake" friends on facebook? that would be creepy
2:26 pm
Glantarell
Evening all, back for the last 5.
2:27 pm

i have received emails from a Babbler who purportedly no longer uses Facebook, attaching screen grabs of my FB comments. She 'allegedly' got them sent to her by another (unnamed) Babbler. Just pathetic really - as I said - my wish for these sad people is that they get a life.

2:31 pm
MollyL
People can copy anything posted at Facebook. Then they can email it to anyone they choose to. That includes posts and pictures. Which is why Facebook is not a "safe" place.
2:32 pm
Glantarell
ta da!
2:32 pm
rururocks
well done glant.. a testy little grid
2:33 pm
Glantarell
Surely the same applies here Molly? In terms of copying and emailinmg, I mean.
2:33 pm
MollyL
Yes, you can copy anything posted on the internet and save it or email it to anyone. The internet is a public domain.
2:34 pm
rururocks
I just try to offend everyone so that it's an even playing field :D
2:34 pm
Glantarell
I have Ninja settings on my Facebook account, people can't find me. And the email I use for Facebook was created especially for the account, so I don't use it for anything else.
2:34 pm
Soodle
People who 'don't use'' Facebook are unlikely to to copy stuff off Facebook! That's what I find so unsettling. Molly your post @ 1.56 refers.
2:36 pm
Glantarell
Sorry to hear you have had Facebook issues, Soodle.
2:37 pm
MollyL
Soodle, as I told you before, I am not on Facebook. If you choose to believe that your comments on the Babble Facebook page are private, that's fine. Also, if you had/have an issue with me or what I say here, you have my email address and could have addressed that privately.
2:44 pm
Soodle
Glan, if I was uncomfortable with FB, I would delete my account. I enjoy Facebook. I have no intention of leaving it. Molly - I have witnessed countless examples of you being unkind, rude & sarcastic to other players. You do this publicly on the Babble open forum & you should be called out openly.
2:46 pm

Just more hypocrisy .. it never ends
2:46 pm

No, it never ends.

Ah.... sorry for the hypocrisy. ..

2:50 pm
rururocks
well.. it's true.. just about everyone else can say nasty shit around here and never get called on the carpet for terrible things they've said or bad behavior like stalking.. but no.. they get a pass for a variety of reasons
2:51 pm
MollyL
I was called out for my profile pictures and profile statements. I stopped doing that. Now that the fake poster, Serenity Now is putting up nasty icons and profiles, no one calls he/she/it out for that. I guess it is a real double standard here. Or for you people who participate in the "Babble hate email" chain. And yes, I have seen copies of emails from that.
2:52 pm
Soodle
i have no idea if Serenity Now is fake or real. I DO remember doubt being cast on Crosshairs

rururocks
serenity could be anyone really.. who cares.. but they're one of the players who just won't let things go
2:54 pm
Glantarell
I have to say that almost all of my Babble experience has been really positive. Perhaps I have just been online at the right times. And I haven't 'met' Serenity now' but Crossy and I have had many conversations over a very long period of time, so I doubt he';s fake - too much effort to maintain a false identity for that lomg.
2:54 pm
Soodle
And where is Crossy now? Chased away!
2:55 pm
rururocks
chased away how?
2:55 pm
MollyL
Chased away? Seriously?
2:55 pm

Seems weird that somebody who chooses to represent themselves with a name involvling the word serenity is creating less than serene ripples....
2:55 pm

Enough of this. Soodle, quit making your issue with me a chat issue. You have my email address. Do what you need to do personally or leave it out of here.
