trof's JournalAnybody else binge watching any of the "Below Deck" series?
BELOW DECK, BELOW DECK SAILING YACTH, BELOW DOCK MED
I'm watching on BRAVO with ROKU.
It's addictive.
What was your first 'real' job?
Where they took out withholding tax, S/S, Medicare, etc.
Me: Bag boy/shelf stocker/sweeper at super market at 13, but way before Medicare.
My dirty little secret:
Binge watching 'Below Decks', 'Below Decks Mediterranean', 'Below Decks Sailing Yacht'.
Anybody else?
Did you ever serve in the military? Tell us your story.
How you got in.
Funny or weird things you experienced.
I was air national guard and more about that later.
Wonder how many of us are here? DU Seniors?
This forum seems to not have many posts.
Surely there's something interesting you'd like to talk about?
Making points (husbands)
Guys, if you're like me, you need to make as many points as you can so you can lay them off when you lose points.
And you WILL lose points.
Today I made some points.
Miz t. had been straight out all day.
Errands, grocery shopping.
It's especially hard for her now because I don't drive anymore.

We were planning on Shrimp Alfredo with a Caesar salad tonight.
She came rolling in about 5:30.
I helped her unload groceries (POINTS!).
"Look, why don't we do something simpler tonight. The Alfredo will keep. There's some sausage and cabbage left over from last night. How about that and a salad?"
"OH THANK YOU, THANK, YOU, THANK YOU!
I was gonna do it for you but, yeah, that would be so nice. Thank you."
MAJOR POINTS!
P.S. I appreciate the thanks, but it's not like I'm demanding at all or rule this house with a whip.
