Way back in the beginning someone tried to encourage me to move too. There was weak discussion of earning money in what sounded like a pyramid of sorts. I did not like the sound of anything I was hearing because I assumed a no re-enter clause would certainly have been in the bill of sales package agreements between the buyer and the seller. At that time I simply said to myself....there 'ain't no free lunch.....I'm staying right here and out of the rumble that seemed to be under way. If a seller had done that to me I would have been madder than an old wet hen.

In spite of any occasional differences of opinion the modest fee for what is available here is a very small outlay in comparison with any other educational or recreational activity I get involved with. In comparison just six evenings of adult education at Penn College, a division of Penn State University costs $175.00 average. Not all of those events are what might be expected either. My gym fees are in excess of $300.00 a year as a senior member. An evening with a nationally known artist can be in excess of $40.00 an hour for a two and a half hour show. Running all over the Northeast following a leading high school wrestler, football and baseball player raises unmentionable daily expense.
There may have been a few members who had bad situations or large families where $20.00 would make a difference. Yet that is still less than half a carton of one's favorite smokes or a few sodas and a bag of chips.

I enjoy this site and most of it's events or happenings. I don't run off to the local clubs or pubs. That saves $20.00 a day! I run off to the Internet for my continued education, fun and games. Excuse me for running off at the mouth a bit.
