What were you thankful for this Thanksgiving?

HippieChick58 comments on Nov 29, 2021:

I am thankful that there is a new grand in the oven. We're cautious, the mama has had several pregnancy losses. I'm thankful that the independent grands are growing and thriving, sweet lovable little PITAs that they are. I am thankful my current job looks to be a keeper, I'm doing well and the company culture is the healthiest I've experienced in a long time.

Unguinous adjective resembling, containing, or consisting of fat or oil; greasy; oily.

HippieChick58 comments on Nov 28, 2021:

That comes from Unguent: a soft greasy or viscous substance used as ointment or for lubrication.

The holy family, seeking an second miracle, when everyone cares enough to protect each other.

HippieChick58 comments on Nov 28, 2021:

Over Thanksgiving, I met two wonderful cats that belong to my nephew's wife.

Repast noun a meal.

HippieChick58 comments on Nov 25, 2021:

Our Thankgiving repast was huge. My kids like to fix every possible dish, there were only 12 of us, three were under age 5. Just toooooo much food. However I don't have to cook for the next several days.

The turkeys were spared this year.

HippieChick58 comments on Nov 25, 2021:

Just keep in mind that it is far better to be single than to be harnessed to the wrong person. I just spent several hours with my ex husband/father of my children. I don't feel bad coming home alone to my kitty brats. My ex and I are able to get along most of the time, and I am good at shutting him down when he gets stupid, but he is a republican conservative xian so he is never very far from stupid. And unless you're the perfect man, you won't find the perfect woman. We all have our flaws. The trick is to find someone whose demons play well with yours and whose baggage fits in with yours.

HippieChick58 comments on Nov 21, 2021:

I do live where it snows, but no way will I do that. I'd likely slip and break something crucial.

Tesseract noun the generalization of a cube to four dimensions.

HippieChick58 comments on Nov 21, 2021:

It didn't make sense to me so I had to dig further: In geometry, the tesseract is the four-dimensional analogue of the cube; the tesseract is to the cube as the cube is to the square. Just as the surface of the cube consists of six square faces, the hypersurface of the tesseract consists of eight cubical cells. Wikipedia Also: What is the tesseract in real life? Simply put, a tesseract is a cube in 4-dimensional space. You could also say that it is the 4D analog of a cube. It is a 4D shape where each face is a cube. ... It's not just a blue cube from the Avengers… it's a real concept.

I love to cuddle up with a good book or preferably with a woman who has read one. 😁😉

HippieChick58 comments on Nov 21, 2021:

Latest troll umbrella guard unfriended me because I'm brainwashed he never carried a M-16

HippieChick58 comments on Nov 18, 2021:

I did carry and fire (expert) and M16A1 rifle. I gladly left it behind when I left the service. I haven't touched any sort of fire arm in 35 years. If someone wants to play with that type of gear, join the military and learn how to use it correctly. Some of the pictures I see of dumba55es with firearms make me wonder how fast they'd cry when the drill sergeant dressed them down for being stupid.

Circadian adjective noting or pertaining to rhythmic biological cycles recurring at ...

HippieChick58 comments on Nov 18, 2021:

My circadian rhythms have been totally messed up by working odd shifts most of my life. Have done days, nights, rotating, swing, and other hybrid shifts. I'm a day beggar now, but my body wants to stay up til the wee dark hours and sleep til noon, IF I can sleep at all. I am looking forward to retirement where I can sleep whenever I want.

"You'd better not have hair anyplace else." Is this from online porn?

HippieChick58 comments on Nov 18, 2021:

I don't shave anything. I'm blonde and have very fine hair, if a man is close enough to see any hair he better not be complaining. Shaving pubic hairs is just nuts as far as I am concerned.

He strives to lead a Godly lifestyle. What would you say to him?

HippieChick58 comments on Nov 17, 2021:

As a liberal and atheist, I'd meet him, but I'd be watching carefully. Some "godly" people are highly judgmental of those who don't share their delusions. OTOH some of them are pretty normal. He doesn't sound like the pretty normal type, not wanting to live a "godly" life. He may want you to be the woman in the bible; husband is the head of the household, and you defer to him. I just see a whole bunch of red flags allllll over.

I wish we could convict him just for looking like a smug jerk!?! 😁

HippieChick58 comments on Nov 16, 2021:

Depending on who that is, and who I think it is I likely agree. However that action would open a hellla slippery slope for arresting people because cops don't like how they look, like most non white males in the US. That isn't working well and I wouldn't want it to get worse.

Nothing more to add to this. Just a reminder. 😉☀️

HippieChick58 comments on Nov 15, 2021:

For sure!

Life is good.

HippieChick58 comments on Nov 15, 2021:

Living alone, you get to decide if it is loneliness or freedom. I was married for over 25 years, it is freedom. I have also chosen the road less traveled. I don't have Cable TV, I don't watch dumb ass TV ads that tell me what I need to have to be happy. And I find unusual ways to use things and use things up. I do my own thing, and I'm content.

Are you going to Thanksgiving dinner with unvaccinated people?

HippieChick58 comments on Nov 15, 2021:

I will be having Tday with some of my immediate family and also daughter's boyfriend's family. I know a few of them have had Covid. I hope to Dawg they have all been vaccinated. My kids and their partners and their dad have all been vaccinated. I've had my third, and I'm sure my ex has had his third. Ex may be conservative religious, but the also has a degree in biology and is germ phobic. There may be an announcement this week from my youngest regarding her almost 5 year old not being an only child for much longer... She is going to be at that Tday gathering so I hope all the non immediate family guests are vaccinated. I'd rather see my kid than them.

Just wondering if any of you here have health insurance coverage for your cat(s)/pets?

HippieChick58 comments on Nov 13, 2021:

I have had cats most of my life, and a dog for about 15 years. I never paid for pet health insurance. I do believe my employer offers it, I know past employers have. My thinking is 1. If the pet is so sick that they need expensive health care, it is worth putting them through the discomfort? What will it do for their quality of life? And 2. What EXACTLY does that policy offer? Insurance is about sharing risk, but also about eliminating risk. The insurance company is out to make a profit from you. That is their bottom line. I don't feel like making another damn insurance company any richer.

If dating sites are skewed towards women then I must be a man. OR not attractive enough. I have been ghosted more times than I want to count, what a waste of makeup. Then again, I live in a highly Republican area with all the delight that brings. I gave up on dating sites just as Covid was starting. If I don't meet someone with my local social activities I'm not going to meet anyone. I belong to two Atheist/Agnostic/Freethinker groups. I am not holding out much hope of finding a partner.

HippieChick58 comments on Nov 11, 2021:

Having started two jobs during the pandemic, there are advantages to being IN the office, especially in the beginning. You learn lots from listening to your peers. You get more "face time" with management, and more interaction with your peers. OTOH, I don't miss the drive. We were supposed to return to the office after Jan 1, however that seems to be delayed, and now there is a "hotel" desk plan in place. I'm very OK with that, I don't plan to go in unless I absolutely have to.

How do you answer "Have a blessed day"?

HippieChick58 comments on Nov 11, 2021:

I get something like this many times a day, I work customer service for a large financial organization. I usually answer with "Thanks, stay safe out there." And then I d/c the call because I'm trying to keep my call time down and hoping for a nice breather between calls.

So you know the difference

HippieChick58 comments on Nov 9, 2021:

I am not particularly outgoing, I am quite fine with the social distancing prescribed by COVID and not going to an office or out in crowds. I am not particularly well organized.... but I do get stuff done. I have my purpose, they call me Grammy. I am not overly optimistic, but fairly even keeled. My mom died at age 45 from ovarian cancer and I was very happy to pass that mark. Ideally I'd like to see my grands grow up and start their adult lives. In reality, I don't want to live beyond my savings.
