Subject: RE: BS: stay out of trouble thread
I overheard something a little chilling tonight.
In the parlor by the retirement community library, I was reading a book. Two women sat down on a couch nearby and began talking earnestly, as though I were not there to hear. One of the women claimed that she has been robbed twice since she moved here, describing what was taken -- jewelry, of course. Somewhere in the conversation, the other woman remarked, "There are no secrets at [the retirement community]." I haven't any jewelry to be robbed of. I don't dress that way; the woman in question does dress up, though, especially for dinner.
I have days when I feel sorry for myself. I don't, after hearing that.
