Money

HippieChick58 comments on Jan 20, 2018:

I'm not looking for wealth, but I'm also not willing or able to take on a dependent. I am looking for financially stable. Money doesn't make you happy, but lack of money is stressful.

Where you ever a Pentecostal or Charismatic Christian?

HippieChick58 comments on Jan 20, 2018:

I think I was in a charismatic church twice. Once I was there with a BF that was catholic. The congregants were all dancing, shouting, and clapping. He was seriously alarmed. I leaned closer to him and told him "relax, remember we're the frozen chosen."

This must really suck! Birthdays are always supposed to be fun!

HippieChick58 comments on Jan 20, 2018:

LOL!! My birthday is a holiday in Germany and other European countries, so I feel his pain.

What makes you more likely to live to 100?

HippieChick58 comments on Jan 20, 2018:

I am not sure I want to live to be 100. My goal is to live as long as I have money to do what I want to do, and as long as I can keep doing what I want to do. If I lose my eyesight I may as well shuffle off. I like to sew, read, do crafts. I'm very visual.

I've seen at least the first. I thought it was great. It solidified what I was already thinking.

I have given this next topic a great deal of thought.

HippieChick58 comments on Jan 20, 2018:

Two of my three daughters are avowed atheists, though one is married to a catholic. #3 goes to church to make daddy happy. (he has money and they live with him for various reasons for them and him) I have told my kids to do what makes them happy. If they want to a casket and funeral, or if they want to let the state handle it. I am not going to be there, I don't really care. It won't be me anymore. I do like the idea of a tree growing out of my remains though. I'm not the party type. I have a friend who wants pregnant nuns at his funeral. Several of his lady friend are to obtain habits and strap on a pillow. I think a post-menopausal pregnant nun would be hysterical.

How hard is it to compliment people instead of critizing?

HippieChick58 comments on Jan 20, 2018:

I don't think it is a one size fits all situation. In my work day I frequently have to contact HR departments for additional information. Once in a while they respond in seconds, and I always try to thank them and let them know how amazing I think that is. It is tax time and HR departments and my company are swamped, so turn around time of many days is more the norm. I try to say something good as soon as there is something good to say. The other side of that is something I got from Lord Mountbatten many years ago. "Never complain, never explain." The never explain I usually don't get to skip, but only complain if it is truly constructive.

How do I increase my level???

HippieChick58 comments on Jan 20, 2018:

From your home screen, click on your star that shows your level. That will take you to a screen where it will show you your points and how to get more points. And just chat, comment, like, makes posts. It adds up pretty fast until you get to level 7. Then it is like swimming in molasses.

Have you ever awakened & wondered how you got there?

HippieChick58 comments on Jan 20, 2018:

Now that I think about it, 1979 in Okinawa, no booze, booty, or anything. Woke up and could not figure out where I was or why I was there. Weirdest feeling ever! I worked rotating shifts, so I was sleeping during the daytime. It was like I had total amnesia for a few minutes. Then I saw something I'd had for a long time and all the memories fell back into place. Sort of like seeing your whole life flash in front of your eyes. I've never experienced that again, but I remember that feeling of disorientation, kind of out of body or who am I experience.

Have you ever awakened & wondered how you got there?

HippieChick58 comments on Jan 20, 2018:

Not for a long, long time. When I was young and in the Army, and really foolish, I had a few nights that I wasn't sure how I got back to my room, and other times that I didn't know how a few tchotchkes got broken. I was lucky that back when I was young and foolish the STD rate was really low.

If you could live anywhere for a year, where would you choose?

HippieChick58 comments on Jan 20, 2018:

At one time I considered Cuenca, Ecuador for a retirement spot. It is close to the equator, gets all four seasons in one day, friendly to expats, and cheap. Then my daughter had a baby. Now another daughter is having a baby. I don't think I want to go anyplace for a year where I can't take the babies. Well, the parents too cuz I'm done with full time baby stuff. But I want to be nearby to see the babies grow up.

Shadow dancers. Why is sex such a turncoat topic?

HippieChick58 comments on Jan 18, 2018:

Yes, men are assaulted by women, it does happen. However men are stronger so it doesn't happen as often. Yes, sex can be awkward, and frequently it is. But it can also be wonderful.

If necessary to testify in court would you put your hand on the bible?

This is a spin-off of a man's post... Ladies, do you buy condoms and do you enforce their use?

HippieChick58 comments on Jan 18, 2018:

I have never bought condoms. And last time I got any, no I didn't ask for condoms to be used. When I was in my prime we didn't use condoms, STDs were not an issue. I never got in the condom habit. Its been a while since I had a need for a condom, if I kept them on hand they'd probably expire :(

How do you let your hair go grey gracefully?

HippieChick58 comments on Jan 18, 2018:

I just turned 60 and I have very few grays, just good genes I guess. My sisters are younger and grayer than I am. I am a natural blond, it's gotten darker as I get older. I don't color my hair. My grandmother started going gray at 24ish, it coincided with the great depression, or so she told us. I figure if I get em, I get em.

Life Hacks. Are any of them good?

HippieChick58 comments on Jan 18, 2018:

I don't know about "life hacks" but I am frugal. I make my own soap, lip balms, lotions, deodorant, and toothpaste. I cook from scratch and eat as close to natural as possible. I reuse, reduce, recycle. I avoid plastics, I have stainless steel water bottles and straws. I shop at estate sales for stuff I can reuse. I also grow some of my own foods. Tomatoes fresh from the garden are so much better than grocery store varieties. They taste like sunshine.

What age should be the age of legal consent for sex?

HippieChick58 comments on Jan 17, 2018:

I think maturity and age do not go hand in hand, but I know legally there is no way to measure maturity. I also want children to be children and to prevent childhood (innocence) from ending too early. So I think 18 is good. The same age that you are old enough to vote and have other adult privileges. When I was 18 that was also the legal drinking age.

How long has everyone been single. For me it's been over 2 years.

Anyone get married to the same person twice?

HippieChick58 comments on Jan 17, 2018:

Nope. It is bad enough to have to be be amicable with the father of my children, no way I'd consider remarrying him. And my first ex, ewwww. That was one of the stupidest mistakes I ever made. Luckily I was young and had plenty of time to recover. No children with him, he's only a bad memory.

Are You Dominant Or Submissive?

HippieChick58 comments on Jan 17, 2018:

I'm pretty laid back and don't have the energy/too busy to really give a rip. Til you mess with my kids and then Mama Bear takes over and there is lots of blood. When my oldest was in college she bought a textbook on a book exchange site, she needed to have me buy it to use my credit card. The seller sent the wrong book, kid asked me to deal with the seller. The seller sent her an email scolding her for asking me to help. I wrote one of the most eviscerating email I had ever written, and was very polite about it. The seller sent the right book, and told us to never contact her again.

How comfortable are you with the idea of same gender sex?

HippieChick58 comments on Jan 17, 2018:

Love is love, can't have enough in this old world. As long as everyone is legal age and of fairly sound mind, has consented, and it is private I don't think it is anyone else's business.

What are the ground rules in dating?

HippieChick58 comments on Jan 17, 2018:

I have suggested meeting to guys on dating sites. I am all for meeting face to face . We can go dutch but it should be discussed. I still expect to do dates but I am open to what that means. Probably not to sex on first dates.

Best thing about sex besides an orgasm ?

HippieChick58 comments on Jan 17, 2018:

The connection, the endorphins, the oxytocin. the bonding. I want the naked soul, the true intimacy.

I woke up this morning singing "Dear God" by XTC in my head.

HippieChick58 comments on Jan 17, 2018:

the one last in my head was El Shaddai, good tune and some of the lyrics are challenging. It has been years since I sang it, but I saw a reference to El Shaddai and the words came back to me. I guess I don't often wake up to songs in my head anymore.

Are shorter people respected the same as taller people

HippieChick58 comments on Jan 17, 2018:

I have read over the years that taller is better for promotions, for getting the job, and for dating success. As for me, I have come to realize that I want continent, breathing, intelligent, tolerant, and sense of humor. Height is not a good measure of what kind of person one is. Yes, I've seen men looking for tall slim gals. Well, be happy with that stick, I have curves and got built way too close to the sidewalk. The tall gene skipped me. My grandmother (born in 1905) was 5 foot 11 inches.

Am I the only one on the planet who prefers reading to movies?

HippieChick58 comments on Jan 17, 2018:

I much prefer reading to TV or movies. I cut the cable about 2 years ago and have never regretted it. I used to watch TV with a book open, and pretty much follow both plots (which doesn't say much for the plot of either, I admit I was reading some pretty fluffy stuff.) Used to really aggravate the ex cuz then he couldn't watch TV in the dark. I have some TV shows or movies that I like to watch, just don't want often. And I like to have something to do with my hands, crochet or knitting while watching, being productive, ya'know.

Yeah, slim with big boobs and no brains is how he likes them. He is not capable of loving anyone besides himself.

Too many to choose from but I needed a root canal a few months ago, could not sleep due to pain. Put oil of cloves on a cotton ball, held it against my tooth, and slept like a rock for 5 hours. Then I noticed the numbing agent the dentist used tasted like oil of cloves. Also Marathon Man, he used oil of cloves. I also like lavender oil, and eucalyptus when I have a cold.

When I am driving around town when I see someone with sign asking for a handout I will hand them the bag. The mayor had some of the rules changed, and some islands at intersections are marked that people cannot stand on them. Today I passed someone at one of the few unmarked areas, and I went out of my way to be able to pass him to hand him a bag. That is my contribution to goodwill in a world gone mad.
