I Met My Wife at Alcoholics Anonymous. While Many Members Found Help in the First 12 Steps, I Immediately Focused My Attention On The "13th Step." Fundamentally: Members are Allowed to Have Sex With Each Other if They Don't Drink... That Made Sense to Me as A Tradeoff... In AA I Couldn't Drink Alcohol but I Got to Meet a LOT of Women... So, I Chose Women as a More Interesting Way to Spend My Time...
Many People Marry Other Members and In General, Those Marriages are More Successful than "Normal" People... Many People Don't Marry... But... Everyone is an Adult and That's What People Do...
Old Timers are Supposed to NOT "13th Step" Newcomers... Because New Members are Often Confused and Vulnerable... It's Considered Impolite or Forbidden but... Those Things Happen... But Not Me... I Always Dated Old Timers.

I Became a Homeless Person after getting Fired from my Job in San Jose, CA for Drinking On The Job and Stealing Money... So I Moved to Chico and Stayed at a Cheap Motel Until the Money Ran Out. I was waiting for my money from My Sale of Company Stock to Arrive... It was Summer and Living in Bidwell Park was EPIC... Riding My Bicycle Everywhere... Playing My Guitar and Singing on the Streets for Spare Change... Eating at the Jesus Center and Going to AA Meetings... I was Penniless for about 2 Months. Then I Got $6,000 and Soon Moved in With a Lady I Met at AA. Then we Got Married and 20 Years Later We are Still Friends. So... The Lesson Learned was Steal Enough from the Corporation to Buy Stock... That Saved My Life! Being Homeless in the Winter Could be Fatal.

We Used Limericks at Work to Prove that Our Data Encryption Machines Really Worked. At Trade Shows our salesforce would say Look... Here is a Plain Text Message... and Here is a Scrambled Message... and You Can't Tell It was a Limerick! AND... They Often Used OBSCENE Limericks to Get The Customers Attention! But Here is My Favorite Clean One...
There once was a Lady From Niger --
Who Smiled as She Rode on the Tiger --
They Returned from The Ride --
The Lady Inside --
And The Smile on the Face of The Tiger.
and Mary Said: One of my favorite limericks:
When Copernicus proved Earth was lowly --
Not Heaven's sweet center most holy --
Philosophers grumbled
At theories crumbled.
As one said, "I wish someone had Ptolemy."
Vincent Said:
Galileo’s careful you know
With Catholics you must go with the flow
The Pope makes up the rule
So you must play the fool
Or burn like Giordano Bruno
Chris Said:
There was a physicist so bright
He figured how to travel faster than light
He left just yesterday
In a relative way
And returned on the previous night
Q Said:
Software creators just always fail
To secure every private email
Encryption is too hard
And passwords are poor guards
So E-postcards hits it on the nail

How to fix the Waiting for Edge Chat error in the Farmville Game. DELETE COOKIES, RESTART GAME. and tips for playing Farmville.
In Google Chrome: Delete History/Clear Browsing Data prevents the error message from appearing... I keep the Passwords only...
Be aware that you will have to sign in again to all the websites you like... but the passwords will be stored, so that's easy to do... be aware that this is a temporary fix... I have to do it every time I want to play Farmville... and I have read that this infection happens on all games.
I Check EVERYTHING except passwords...
A simple way to avoid annoying error messages on the computer is to put a piece of paper over the location of the message... often while I play Farmville, it says "waiting for edge chat facebook com" ... because the game is failing to connect with something I don't care about... the message is always in the lower left hand corner of the screen... so, a piece of paper folded in half removes that message from my sight...
Optional: Run Disk Cleanup... Good to do Occasionally...
When I run Disk Cleanup... I select My Files Only,
Drive C: OK... OK... Are You Sure? Delete Files.
deleting unnecessary files from my computer.
Sometimes the error message will re-appear days later... so once again I delete history in Google Chrome... everything except passwords and the message stops appearing...

My Journey to The Rainbow Gathering in Pennsylvania in the 1980's... Autobiography... and EPCOT in Florida, Niagara Falls, Canada...
This event really started at the Spectrum Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at a three day Grateful Dead concert. That's When I Got an Invitation to The gathering. A Card given to me by a Guy Who Believed I Was Worthy.

It eventually turned out to be a five month vacation traveling from Washington DC to Key West, Florida to Niagara Falls, Canada looking for the best beach on the East Coast. IMHO... It's Fernandina Beach In Florida Near the Northern Border. READ MORE:
