    Grandkids - No more Xmas Gifts

    I appreciate your point of view and the lovely thoughts and suggestions. "Haul myself to Ohio" would be wonderful if possible. Unfortunately I am POA for my mother and there is not another living soul that can be responsible for her - no family left and certainly no one that is friend to her...

    Just Got A Shocker From My Doctor Today!

    I agree. Is she even sure it was truly her doc office calling? If it really was - sounds like they were fishing for more INCOME....ain't nothin' test-wise that's mandatory for Medicare. They have that list of available wellness tests, but that's all "if you wanna" stuff.

    Tele-Sales

    The other night I got another spam call on my cell. He started to talk and I said "Hello, KHOU 950 - you're on the air". HE hung up so fast I could almost feel a vacuum being pulled. AHAHA - that was GREAT fun for ME. 😂

    Who Do You Find The Easiest?

    I find it's fun to talk with either gender. People now days are semi-surprised when someone actually chats with them. Since being retired I enjoy just shooting the breeze without having to play offense/defense with office agenda politics and pleasing the clients! However, if given the option...

    Giving this dating app a go

    Good luck with the dating apps. I joined eHarmony back in September and have only heard crickets. Definitely expensive and not worth one penny of it. I've been generous in my "wants" and profile stats. No BS and no enhancement of ME. I guess if I smoked and drank and had multiple pets I...

    Howdy from Texas

    I live in League City - 20 miles south of the city of Houston and 20 miles north of Galveston Island....But , you know where it is huh, being from Houston yourself. I've lived here for about 30 years and in Dallas for 13. Before that it doesn't count since it wasn't Texas! chuckle

    Grandkids - No more Xmas Gifts

    Thanks all for your replies. Yea, I think I'll let them figure it out. Can't imagine they would ask "where's the money"? 😁

    Grandkids - No more Xmas Gifts

    OK here's my dealio….I always send $50 to each of my 3 grandkids and their parents. It's the only family I have left and they live in Ohio (I live in Texas). They are 24, 22,20 years old. They never say thank you or acknowledge the gift. In fact it has been 6 years since I have seen them...

    Howdy from Texas

    Just happened by today and saw a lot of good conversation. Y'all had some suggestions for cutting off gift giving to adult grandkids - I liked it and decided to hang around. I'm 3 years retired from managing rail fleets and loving most every minute.
