Off-Topic / Re: Do you like working with others, or by yourself?

I definitely prefer working alone. I have owned several businesses over the years and have enjoyed the freedom. I have had a number of jobs as well but tend to think the boss is an idiot.

I love flying. I'm a licensed pilot but no longer fly for medical reasons. I definitely prefer a seat in the cockpit. For a real thrill, take a ride in a sailplane.

I get Cooking Club that signed up for through a payed offer. I've kept it way too long. I used to enjoy National Geographic but find I don't take the time to read magazines. The interwebs has replaced magazines in my home.

Except online I have never seen this. It makes sense for items that need delivery but I can't see it for in store sales. I doubt that is legal in most states.

Yes I remember it mostly through reruns. Interesting to watch child stars grow up and either succeed or wreck their lives. It's amazing any child star succeeds knowing how they are treated
as stars.

A very innovative way to earn money for a worthy cause. Wasting water id drought striken ares is not such a good idea though. They should have used something else.

Off-Topic / Re: Do you play games on a gaming console, computer, tablet, or smartphone?

« on: August 02, 2014, 09:37:13 am »Message ID: 905227

I don't play games often, but when I do, I prefer a computer. Solitaire, Backgammon and Mahjong.
I also practice losing at casino games.

Off-Topic / Re: Who is your favorite late night host?

I still like Letterman but it seems his heart (no pun intended) is no longer in it. He had health and other personal issues that sorta took the wind out of his sails. I think he knows it's time to retire.
Of the new kids, I like Jimmy Kimmel.

It's been 10 years. I always think I'm going to go, but never do. I get busy, broke or both.

I hunt and peck my way to a blazing 10 wpm. I took a typing class in college and still can't type. If I don't look at the keyboard, I'm lost.

I got screened out of 365. What, old people don't use software ? A lot of the offers are age specific and some just don't credit at all.

I opened an account directly at RL. I wanted to cancel and there is no way to do so online. A support ticket has gone unanswered for 5 days. A phone doesn't do much better.. the request to cancel is being "forwarded". And then there is this from their own privacy policy:

I missed it. I didn't know there was a National Lasagna Day. Not surprising though, there's a day for nearly everything else. Today is National Chili Dog Day.

I fear Barney. I get the heebie jeebies every time I hear his song. Ninja turtles are creepy too.
