I'm amazed that Howard Stern said this. As a buddy of Dumpsterfire Donnie I'd think he was an antivaxxer and no holds barred treatment especially if it was not endorsed by modern medicine. I guess miracles can still happen... Or am I thinking of some other radio personality? I don't follow the "celebrity" news very much.

A critical issue that many don’t prioritize Sleep. [npr.org]

HippieChick58 comments on Jan 16, 2022:

Good article. I struggle to get enough sleep. Sometimes I just stay up too late, but frequently I just cannot fall asleep. It's very frustrating. I'm working on getting better sleep for the new year. I have blue blocker glasses, and I'm back to meditating before bedtime. I have already seen my RHR (resting heart rate) drop since I started meditating. I have the "just one more page" sydrome and just stay up too late. I'm working on it, and I've been working on it for years.......... I developed bad habit when my kids were growing up, I was a SAHM (stay at home mom) so after the kids went to school I could catch a nap. That doesn't work so good working 8 to 5.

Circumstellar adjective surrounding a star.

HippieChick58 comments on Jan 16, 2022:

Circum is a prefix with the meaning “round about, around,” found in Latin loanwords, especially derivatives of verbs that had the general senses “to encompass or surround” (circumference; circumjacent; circumstance) or “to go around” by the means or in the manner specified by the verb (circumnavigate; circumscribe); on this basis forming adjectives in English with the meaning “surrounding” that named by the stem (circumocular; circumpolar). And there is that very favorite word of Christian men... circumcision.

Lifelong athletes face joint replacement. It's my turn. Advice?

HippieChick58 comments on Jan 16, 2022:

My left thumb is also painful, and I'm right handed. For me, it is genetic, I remember my paternal grandmother rubbing her left thumb and referring to it as "my damn thumb." I notice pain in that thumb especially when crocheting and knitting, or other hand intensive activities. My right thumb is fine. So far I'm doing OK with it, I take Motrin daily, but that is for more than just the thumb. When I worked Short Term disability claims I had a dental hygenist who filed a claim, she had just had a bilateral thumb joint replacement. Her employer also invested in new equipment for her, ones with bigger handles. I don't remember how long she was out of work. I am hoping I wont need to have any replacements, but time will tell.

I am not actively on any dating sites. I stopped all that right after the pandemic started. There are too many anti maskers and science deniers out there, it is too great a risk for me right now. I don't know if I will ever go back on a dating site, just tooooooooo much BS, and I live in Nebraska, the pool of eligible intelligent liberal males is pretty limited.

Roomba recommendation?

HippieChick58 comments on Jan 16, 2022:

One of my cats deliberately lies in the path of the roomba. He (roomba's name is Roscoe) runs into her and reverses path. She will move to be in his path again. It is annoying as hell, but also hysterical! Whattaya gonna do? Most days I'm working and out of sight of her shenanigans. And when I'm home it just doesn't seem worth it to keep moving her out of the way. She's a diabolical little beast!

HippieChick58 comments on Jan 14, 2022:

I don't think we carried a compass or map when we hiked, but we always stayed on well marked trails. I equipped the kids with a fanny pack with a whistle, a mirror, and a large plastic garbage bag cut to be a poncho, some sort of granola bar, and a water bottle. IF they got lost they were to hug a tree, blow the whistle, and reflect the sunlight off the mirror. If it rained they had the poncho, and they had some food and water. We never had to test it, they were good about staying on the trail where we could see them.

She hopped up on the end of my bed with a dead robin and was intent on dismembering it. I grabbed her by the tail, kicked the corpse off my bed, and hollered for help. I could not get out of bed. Stepwitch came up, grabbed the corpse, and kitty followed her. Kitty returned and chewed me out for allowing that to happen! Kitty was a Siamese, very vocal.

I don't think that Kristy Brinkley is all that fabulous. I also think that physical beauty is primarily luck and genetics. **Who** we are is what makes us truly beautiful, and that is a result of who we are, how we act, what we think and do. I don't take it as a compliment when someone who has never met me tells me I'm beautiful, because I don't think I am and I don't think their opinion matters. When you know me, then it might matter more to me.
