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. |

I got an AARP membership packet in the mail several years ago...acceptance letter, and the whole deal. I immediately felt old...then I remembered that 1) I hadn't applied, and 2) I was 41.
That was just the start of the weirdness and headaches, though. They actually argued with me when I called to dispute the charge. (A day or two later, I found out about numerous fraudulent charges that had been made on my debit card?

I don't like it but am starting to get used to being called 'Ma'am', I get that they are trying to be respectful but damn it makes me feel old.

First time I felt old was when I was admiring the VERY cute waitress and she gave me a senior citizen discount without my asking.
The real barb was that I was still a couple years out. I was hurt and resentful and was going to straighten her out, but then said "Oh hell, a dollar off is a dollar off..." and kept my mouth shut.

Yep, even applied for Obamacare earlier this year. Got tired of forking out nearly $20K per year on health insurance with a high deductible HSA. Of course, I recently heard that the money that you save with Obamacare will be considered as taxable income, so again, the government gives with one hand, and takes with the other.

I just received information last week that Nov 1st 2018 I can retire with full benefits. All of a sudden it kinda kicked me in the teeth that all those years I thought about retirement is coming and that I'm old.

Kind of sneaks up on you, don't it.... I think the mirrors in my house are actually windows into an alternate dimension, and there's some darn old guy who keeps on staring at me from the other side.
So where are all those flying cars we were supposed to have in the year 2015 that I read about as a kid?

LOL! True Rich! We have a lot of people who I have been with the last 27 years that are leaving. 3 this year. One of the new hires found out what my salary was. He said gee must be nice. I told him if he want's someone to say that to him 30 years from now he better get rid of the attitude. Too many young ones expect it to be handed to them on a silver platter.

Oh almost forgot! The past 2 weeks has been physically hard at work. Just today the boss looked at me and said, We should probably get someone to help you. You're not 30 anymore you know, lol.
