Welcome back! OOoooooh....kidney stones.

[Geraldine]

Glad you are back Ruth

[Robert, Head Geezer]

Ruth, glad you got over being stoned! Hahaha

[Ruth, Texas Tornado]

Hahahahaha. You would like a bad Bob Dylan song.

[Ruth, Texas Tornado]

84 degrees on my front porch sure feels better than 104!

[Ruth, Texas Tornado]

Just putting this out there for what it’s worth. I am looking for a good book to read, so I turned to my husband and said tell me the last book you read and I’ll read it. He answered “Green Eggs and Ham!” Sigh.

[Ruth, Texas Tornado]

I’m ready for snowwwwwww!!!!!

[Robert, Head Geezer]

I’m with you Ruth. Had enough of this hot weather, humidity, bugs, allergies and mowing grass. Plus it’s hard to make baked stuff in the oven so you don’t heat up the whole dang house.

[Candy]

Living in Phoenix I have become the crockpot queen. Only time I turn on my oven in summer is for pie!

[Robert, Head Geezer]

Yes Candy one must contend with a little sweat for a piece of pie.

[Ruth, Texas Tornado]

My husband asked me if I wanted to help him do a little yard work. I simply looked him in the eye and said no. Lolol.

[Robert, Head Geezer]

He’s probably trimming and cutting down plants and flowers before winter. You know the crap you planted in the spring. I’m going through the same thing here.

[Robert, Head Geezer]

For your protection everyone should Google Phishing Scams on Goodreads. The article was too long for me to post.

[Ruth, Texas Tornado]

Does anyone do anything on Halloween? I know we are all grown up now, but wondering if anyone did anything interesting. We live too far out for trick or treaters. We usually eat a salad for dinner then eat tons of snacks and binge Ghostbusters Adventures.

[Ruth, Texas Tornado]

Ghost Adventures…NOT Ghostbusters. Dan’s spell check. lol.

[Robert, Head Geezer]

Going to a costume party for Halloween. Plenty of drinking and food. We are dressing up as Tacky Tourists.

[Ruth, Texas Tornado]

Tacky Tourist!!!! What a neat idea. I need to wake up this sleepy town and have a Halloween party.

[Robert, Head Geezer]

Last year we went as Redneck Trailer Trash and one first place and got a prize. We didn’t have to make much of an adjustment to the real us! Lol

[Amanda]

One year when I went to my sister's party I didn't have a costume. I out some irredesant powder on my face. I told everyone I was a fairy in disguise & if they told anyone I was there, I'd turn them into a toad.

I had some kind of glitch on gr a few weeks ago.

The suggestions I had on "help" and AI were to delete the app reload..

I thought yeah right..watch everything go up in a puff of smoke.. I had seen a few folks post on their profile they lost everything without knowing why..and were building it back.

So I shut off my laptop and phone for a day, and let everything just stew in its tantrum.

Booted up after 24 hrs, and it was all sitting there and functioning without a problem.

[Ruth, Texas Tornado]

I asked a worker at Walmart today “what aisle are the nuts on?” She replied “almost every aisle!”

[Rosie]

Ruth, that’s hilarious.

[E]

🤣

[E]

🤣😂🤣

[Amanda]

I can remember going into Menards to ask about a pump oil can. None of the people there knew what I was talking about. I had to tell the an example of the tin man In the wizard of Oz before the light came on & they knew what I meant.

[Robert, Head Geezer]

One time I was standing behind a guy at Arby’s waiting to order. He ask the girl “What kind of cheese to they put on their Roast beef and Cheddar sandwich?” She hesitated and said “Cheddar!”

[Ruth, Texas Tornado]

lol

[Amanda]

what a laugh! Sometimes you just don't know what to expect.

[Robert, Head Geezer]

You will probably notice a lot more younger folks joining our group. Hopefully they will breath a little life into this rather dull bunch. They might even so a little respect and introduce themselves to our rude senior members who have not done so.

[Ruth, Texas Tornado]

I’m excited to see some new perspective!

[Robert, Head Geezer]

Well I just had a meltdown at the DMV trying to renew my drivers license. After three trips they still said I didn’t have all the right I.D’s etc. They threatened to call the cops if I didn’t leave! I’ll cool down the rest of the day and try again tomorrow. If that fails I’ll just drive with expired license and pay the fines.

Such a fun place! Almost always creates a good meltdown. What kind of ID do you need to renew a license you already have?!? That's crazy!!!

[Rosie]

Robert, were you trying to get a”real”id?
I Remember when we first moved to Virginia 9 years ago it took me 5 trips. I was ready to ask them if they wanted my first born child.

[Robert, Head Geezer]

Yes the I.D that permits you to fly. I can understand why some people go postal. It all started when they said I failed the eye test. I would have to go to an eye doctor for an eye test and then have him fill out a paper with the results. I’m 77 and have never even worn glasses. The doctor tested me and said there was nothing wrong with my eyes that the DMV’s testing machine was bogus. He charged me forty-dollars!

Oh my!! That's so annoying!

[Jesse]

Hi my names Jess, I’m from El Paso TX, I’m glad to be here :)

[Robert, Head Geezer]

Welcome Jess!

[E]

I would rather drag my teeth over the curb than fly right now.
All the pro pilots are retiring. Between the shortage of seasoned air traffic controllers and newbie pilots, way too many near misses happening.🦢

[Ruth, Texas Tornado]

If anyone needs any last minute costume ideas. Lolol.

[Amanda]

One year I couldn't find anything that would be warm enough at my sister's weiner roast. So I went through my high school jewelry, found my old denim jacket, and old concert shirt & got one of my old freind's baseball cap out of my closet. I went as a groupie. I didn't do too bad.

[Robert, Head Geezer]

Happy Halloween everyone!

[Tierra]

Happy Halloween! 🎃 👻

[Kathie]

Happy Halloween!

[Ruth, Texas Tornado]

I just watched 60 Minutes interviewing President Trump. Wow. We are so fortunate to have him as our leader. I was so proud of his interview.

[Robert, Head Geezer]

Yes his interview was impressive in spite of the left wing interviewer trying her best to trip him up. Is 60 minutes ever going to go into the dust bin of outlived programs?

[Kellie]

Quick question. I use to get email notifications when someone left a comment but I don't anymore. How do you do that? Is there something I can check off and can I do it across the board?

[Robert, Head Geezer]

It’s Goodreads incompetence. Mine did the same and I had to go to each topic and at the bottom of the comment there is a little square box with a green check mark. You have to click it on to receive real time updates. It’s a pain!

[Kellie]

Ugh! Thanks! Can't do it for a group must be done individually?

[Robert, Head Geezer]

Afraid so unless someone has a better way.

[Kellie]

Thanks Robert.
