You reminded me of where I was going. An unmarried woman who worked between the 50s and 2010s isn't likely to receive enough SS benefits to keep a roof over her head and groceries in the fridge. Far too many of them are homeless right now. I know 2 women who married not long before retiring...

Because private enterprises are subject to competition and consumer pressure, and government-run agencies aren't, I expect a privately owned and operated SS system would be more efficient and a lot more friendly. Hasn't the government "run it into the ground"? They keep saying they have, though...

When I was a working girl (don't take that the wrong way) the average woman earned about half what the average man earned. Women were rarely hired for high-paying positions and positions with great responsibility or that demanded a lot of her time because of children and pregnancy, whether she...

The SS system will be restructured but it isn't going anywhere for a long time. I remember my grandfather, many years ago, sitting with his newspaper in front of him talking about how the nation was split on the Social Security Act, and how half of Americans felt like it was being crammed down...

The thieves are still at large, and presumed to be getting larger. :p

There was a murder case that got a lot of social media attention where a lady shot her husband after replacing the barrel of her pistol with the barrel of a ghost gun she bought, then she put her pistol barrel back on her gun. When detectives tested her gun, it didn't match the casings they...

He may have felt a reminder was needed in an election year.

Even the cheap ones are good. If you buy a pen that isn't good, you bought a pen that was damaged. Not many people need an excellent pen. The president is one, off the top of my head. We buy them for him/her, and a lot of them are only used once. They should be required to mail them to random...

He's an idiot. He's more focused on how to get away with an ego-boosting fling than on ruining his marriage. And what he has in mind is a fling, nothing more.

I would say so. The long list of substitutions for duck fat that I found online includes hamburger grease. Lard was another. Wrapping the turkey burger with bacon strips was also suggested. The list was simultaneously mouthwatering and amusing

Lots of us fell for it. I feel dumber than my old phone.

I would be with the Not Disgusted group.

Irises and water lilies remind me of my grandmother.

Four years ago, Verizon advised me they were ending service for their non-smart mobile phones. Reluctantly, I bought a new phone, the cheapest one they carried. I imagine Verizon is scrambling to reinstate that "old" service.
