AnneWimsey comments on Aug 5, 2018:

I do not like being hugged much, it seems pretty invasive unless just brief...like you say, you can "find out so much"....not what I want!

I am SO tickled right now!!!! I don't know how I didn't know this, BUT, you can freeze diced bell ...

Do you think men have a “feminine side” where their reservoir of feelings are?

AnneWimsey comments on Aug 5, 2018:

Men are human, and humans Feel....maybe culturally a group is taught "good" or "bad" public responses, but you feel what you feel, and nobody should denigrate you for it! I myself now am a pretty stoic woman, made that way by life circumstances......everybody is on the Bell Curve. I will say, however, having worked in all-male environments for quite some time, and many times observing men when they think no women are around (not on purpose!) that it is VERY hard to be a male in this culture, you must be almost a split personality.

Big jar prominently displayed where you normally enter, decorated with scenes you hope to see, or at least "my trip" on it. All money under $5 in your wallet, including loose change, goes in there every day.

Living in a small town full of religious people is one of the most depressing forms of existence.

AnneWimsey comments on Aug 5, 2018:

With Anything in life, wasting your time wishing things were different doesn't cut it. Find things in common....kayaking, crotchet, whatever, and build on that and let religion fade to the background, , or move.

So I had a damn unpleasant lunch.

Restraining order, excluding emails for talking about the child (bonus because now you have a record!) & apply to the court for supervised visitation, including pick-up delivery of the child in a public place like McD's or the police station. Call your local abuse hotline, they can give you lots of advise that applies to your specific area's laws.....you can also call Legal Aid and talk to them.

I just turned 70, he is 73. We plan on taking ballroom dance lessons starting next week (hilarious because I am the biggest klutz you will ever meet, and outweigh him by about 100 lbs). We go to karaoke several times a week. I chose him over a 52-year old. I do not think we will ever live together.....set in my ways, I want the remote! Yes to the vibrator too! And gay friends are Great! All I wanted, really was a guy to hang out with.....i worked alongside men most of my life.....But, It is, most times, the exact same feeling like we are 22....which i find amazing! Maybe even better because time could be short. I know how very very lucky i am............

Karaoke! Even if you don't sing, we need an audience! 1. You are all there for an ostensible reason, so it takes the "meat market" thing away. 2. Someplace near you has karaoke every single night, and many of the same faces show up to all of them, so you make a lot of friends quickly, and they lead to other friends...very supportive atmosphere, too! 3. Many singers drink water or club soda, as I do, so a damn cheap night out! 4. Always a conversation opener/sustainer! Ask about their singing, compliment their singing, talk about the acoustics, the DJ, how they started singing, etc etc etc etc etc

Yeah, I'm pretty much a horrendously insensitive demon.

AnneWimsey comments on Aug 1, 2018:

Meeting a SO online is now mainstream! A few caveats: use the site to chat a bit, keep your antenna Up! Are they responding appropriately to Specific questions you ask, for example. Do they call you "dear" right away. Do they assume a "relationship" when you have just met? When you feel comfy, a Public meeting for coffee or a drink, where you each drive yourself there seperately! 2-3 of these before they get your home address or home phone!!! If they have a problem with your caution, RUN! A real potential mate would understand...also, why aren't they being equally cautious?! If ANY mention of money, in any amount, for any reason, pops up, RUN! Listen to your gut at all times, remembering Ted Bundy was a tall, good-looking attorney with real charm!

Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2! Featuring Dennis Hopper, so drugged up he fails to respond to his cues, the other actors pause awkwardly, then say their lines As If he had spoken.
