ORIGINAL: jlf1961 Recently, I have gotten "form letter" messages from women, all from different locations in the US, and all with different pictures. Well, I drove a truck for a number of years, and thus, have been to some pretty out of the way places either delivering or picking up. So I have started asking the simple question "how long have you lived in <_______> and is <_____> still open?" Funny, replies seem to not happen. I would so fail this test!!! Being of the military assortment, we've moved so many times. I can usually tell a person where to find the local munch, but if somebody asked if a certain Thai food place is still open or where to get the best deal on bicycle parts, I probably couldn't say much. I wouldn't pass. ETA - Genuine people send you Christmas cards. Due to the shit storm called life during the holidays, including but not limited to, a complete septic system failure ($8786.97 paid in full,) two nieces going off the deep end (including one moving back in for a couple of months with boyfriend that, SURPRISE was on the sex offender list for molesting a 12 year old when he was 16 AND had failed to report a change of address to local authorities so had a warrant out on him,) sis breaking her leg AND developing pneumonia AND refusing to let herself be admitted to hospital for treatment thus requiring temporary in home nurses (one of which is lucky to be alive since she wanted to move the dogs OUT of the house) and this is only a small segment of incidents for the period, SHITMAS cards were the last thing on my mind to send back to anyone. So, the holidays broke my bank account, has me labeled the ultimate Bastard for kicking a child molester out of my house, and people wonder why I hate the holiday season? But on the bright side, I get to start collection proceedings against someone I did a security consulting job for who still owes me $17,500.00 for the completed work.
