Book Board Chat

I think I have around 50 friends (though some are just people with whom I had a sales transaction and we friended one another so we could pm back and forth...) I really only hear from fewer than a dozen though I follow some political posts (not many, because it's so depressing. I tune in to the several groups I belong to - where Dan and I either list things or look for things for sale (I do believe it's probaby a bit safer than craigslist, but I don't know for certain. I laugh every time I agree to meet someone in a parking lot someplace, or I see people exchanging a bag of stuff for cash out of the trunk of a car... looks a little like drug deals or something. This used to go on in a neighborhood I lived in in NY - I played poker with several girls from the neighborhood a couple nights a week - 3 were married; then me, and two others who were single. The married women were Italians and their husbands were forever bringing home stuff that "fell offa da truck". They would then sell the purses, coats, whatever to trusted people in that area. Not saying that Italians were necessarily the most likely to be standing in the road when something "fell offa da truck" but ... maybe SOME Italians were? Enough, already. I'm rambling again.
