Threatened? By you?
Hardly. You're statement manifests your insecurities.
Well, it seems so. You need to quote how many posts I've made, you are
calling me the queen and that I'm taking over rec.boats.... seems like a
logical conclusion that you feel threatened. If I'm not threatening you, all
you have to do is say so.

Posting the number of posts you have made in rec.boats isn't a need,
but more an option.

I said "attempt to be the queen" Don't flatter yourself.

Taking over rec.boats? Tell us. Is that a "hostile" takeover? Either
way. Don't flatter yourself.

I feel no threat from you.

I said it.


It may not be Krause, but it sure uses the Krauseian vernacular.


You know, we could probably tolerate her arrogance and insolence if she
wasn't so butt ugly.

Perhaps it was this?


Subject: Great AARP Letter


AARP is American Association of Retired Persons. AARP claims over 35
million members, making it one of the largest membership.
Approximately 60,000 AARP members quit AARP between July 1 and August
18, 2009.


Whether you're old enough for AARP or not, this lady has some good
points.


This letter to the AARP says it all. It is a must read regardless of
your age. Some people just make sense in what they say.


This lady certainly does.


This was sent to Mr. Rand who is the Executive Director of AARP


snipped


Your website generously offers us the opportunity to receive all
communication in Spanish. ARE YOU KIDDING???


Someone has broken into our 'house', invaded our home without our
invitation or consent. The President has insisted we keep the
perpetrator in comfort and learn the perp language so we can
communicate our reluctant welcome to them.


· I DON'T choose to welcome them.
· I DON'T choose to support them.
· I DON'T choose to educate them.
· I DON'T choose to medicate them, pay for their food or
clothing.


American home invaders get arrested.


Please explain to me why foreign lawbreakers can enjoy privileges on
American soil that Americans do not get?


Great letter. I quit AARP a couple years back because of their liberal
ways. I've never regretted a moment.

my dad and mom dropped the too because they didn't like the arrp's

around.


Sounds like a movement.... I'm sure they're very concerned with their
imminent demise due to dropping membership, and they've begged them and John
to return.

Actually, my folks have both passed away a few years ago, but while
living, they did get several reminders to *please* re instate their
lapsed membership.

Heck, after dad died, we canceled his DISH network subscription, two
years later I still get re-sign up notices asking to re-activate his
satellite dish, and I keep returning them.

Yeah, I get those requests to reinstate. I send the form back in the
prepaid envelope with "Change your Liberal Attitude" or some such
written on the form. It probably gets trashed, but what the hell -
they paid the postage, not me.

PS. With reference to ndp - I agree.

WOW! That's almost .00172 of the membership! Killer!



A little known fact: the exec of AARP is a fairly prominent Republican
who was involved in Nixon's Committee to Re-elect...CREEP.

If you are flajim, herring, loogy, GC boater, johnson, topbassdog, rob,

well, you are among the permanent members of my dumbfoch dumpster, and I
don't read the vomit you post, except by accident on occasion. As
always, have a nice, simple-minded day.

I stand corrected...the guy I had in mind, Bill Novelli, retired as CEO
of AARP this past March. He was involved with CREEP, but not in a
nefarious way.

True, Gene. But still that's a considerable stack of change there,
too.
Maybe not to them, but it sure would be to me!

hmmm, I wonder how many new signers they have every year?
