Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

General BS forum I guess anything is fair game in here. Just watch the subject matter doesn't get carried away too much. |

Time to stop and give thanks
Certainly seeing the end of the road promotes taking stock in the more important things in life- family and relationships.
Internet squabbles, dust bunnies, great sales on five years worth of tp, and the like all go on the back burner.
On the other hand, making certain bad health choices like a half gallon purchase of butter pecan ice cream can be overlooked because any last minute rushes to healthy living will certainly not slow the final curtain so a certain amount of hedonism will probably promote happiness.
It is always OK to stop and thank those around you for their friendship and patience, and to praise especially delightful, useful, and challenging places such as this site.

Hope you are OK, Lucille, and not looking at that "end of the road" quite yet yourself.

Giving myself permission to have as much butter pecan ice cream as I want
Seriously, we should live each day as if it were our last, and focus on stuff that matters. Like the good job all of y'all do to protect those buying/selling reptiles. You are awesome!

I had to do that too. Life's too short to exclude ice cream!
As I get older, I ponder the important stuff a lot more. I used to blow off family stuff, and missed a lot of dinners, birthday celebrations, etc. Then my dad died, and I'll never get that wasted time back.
Now, even when I'm tired, I make the effort to see the people who are important to me.

My best friend is a 65 yr old woman who is tiny. Any time she goes over 120 pounds (her high school weight) she freaks. She always comments on my meals about how much fat, salt bad it is. I always tell her that this may not be available after death so better eat it now.

I will be 60 on my next birthday.
I will be retired soon.
Things are well .
My family is thriving.
My health is stellar.
I now realize I don’t give a f about the small stuff.
I am now letting grow long again.
I don’t tolerate BS.
I don’t much care for company politics any more.
I also eat what ever I want.
I really am digging some good food like bbq ribs and ice cream for desert.
Not that this is what up you meant but this works for me.
Andy.
