A Xmas Tradition - 12/8/2009

I would like to share my New York City tradition with my friends. Living across the river from one of the culture cities of the world, we visit NYC during the holiday season.

The largest spruce tree over looks over the Rockafeller center's ice rink. It shines bright with over 1, 000 lights surrounded with angels blowing gold horns. Across is the Rocketts kicking their ...

Oh X-Mas Tree! Oh X-Mas Tree! - 12/7/2009

Upon reading this Article, I concluded that this couple went through a whole lot of trouble just to find the perfect Tree.

I suspect that they were more interested in the adventure of finding the tree versus the tree itselfs.

I remember one year when my Father had been laid off and money was scarce. I climbed on top of a pine tree and sawed off the pointy ...

If you could wish for anything, what might that be? - 12/5/2009

If I could wish for anything, I would wish for better health and for a male companion who treats me well.

My health was excellent until I turned 55, when I developed a hyperactive thyroid. I was sick for a few years before I was diagnosed and medicated properly. I am not happy about having to take three medications, but at least I have my life back to a great extent. I get episodes once ...

my take on leave sean in brazil - 12/5/2009

as a charter member of the classa banned club i can not answer her other than this way. as it was with elian gonzalez the answer is quite simple. as attorney-general janet reno said then and it holds true today, "the boys place is with his father." this case has become a political issue between two countries and it should not be a political issue. imho this is an issue of right and wrong, and the ...

How do you tell the difference between a Census worker and a con artist? - 12/4/2009

2010 Census to Begin

This is common sense advice. However, in today's world, I can see it could leave an open door for giving your personal information to the wrong people.

With the beginning of the U.S. Census process, the Better Business Bureau (BB advises people to be cooperative, yet cautious, so as not to become a victim of fraud or identity theft.

What will you do for Christmas, Chanukah, or whatever holiday you celebrate in addition gift-giving? - 12/4/2009

Because the media and the stores have commercialized Christmas and other holidays in order to induce people to spend money, we sometimes forget about the true meaning of the holidays. For me, the holidays mean giving of ourselves and helping those who are less fortunate than we are.

Of course, we all give presents to our loved ones. There is a special joy which we derive from giving our ...

How do you manage to save for the "Golden Years"? - 12/1/2009

I really hate to admit it, but last year my husband and I were quite well-to-do. His illness and death were largely related to our monumental loss of income.

As a widow who is not poor, but who is far from wealthy, I am concerned about the future: how to save money for however long I need it, and how to budget. I haven't a clue since Andy used to handle (and mishandle) all of our ...

I just finished reading an article by Jason Richwine regarding whether or not liberals are smarter than conservatives.

Because I found the article both interesting and thought-provoking, I thought I would paraphrase some of his thoughts for you and see what you think.

Is it common for widows/widowers to date someone your deceased partner used to know? - 11/26/2009

I'm just curious. For those of you who lost your spouse or significant other, have you ever dated someone who used to know your significant other?

As all of you know, I became involved with one of Andy's best friends, and he just wanted to be friends with benefits, so I finally had to tell him we can only be friends.

Last week, I ran into an attorney whom Andy and I had met ...

Two observations. First: Is about the images that are not 'head on top'. Meaning uploaded sideways, upside down, etc. Ever wonder what to do with those? Contact the member? Or? I've attempted to go the contact route in the past but found members mostly viewed the contact suspiciously in a response or just ignored. So be it.
