A gracious good Sunday morning from Kansas.

HippieChick58 comments on Jun 6, 2021:

Kansas is flat and windy, interspersed with periods of intense wind and electrical charges. And it is full of Republicans on top of that. I lived in Kansas from 1999 to 2004. My house was hit by lightening about 8 weeks after we moved in. That being said, I did enjoy my time in Kansas and hated to move to Omaha. However, since I left things (government, schools, etc) went to pieces and I'm thankful I moved. Not that Nebraska is much better...

HippieChick58 comments on Jun 5, 2021:

FWIW I don't think you were too harsh. Life is just too short to not be direct. When I was on dating sites I wouldn't even consider contact from someone wearing a plain white T shirt or holding a dead fish. For me, good ol' boys need not apply. We've all got our triggers, that was mine.

You need to become your best friend. I am not the most social person, and I'm rather dismayed my book club is going back to public meetings in a restaurant (a. the drive and b. the cost of the meal). Other than work which has been remote, my kids that I see in person on average of less than once a week, and my Humanist group activities, I'm pretty solitary. I sew, I craft, I read tons of books, I garden, I cook, and I do whatever I damn well please. I highly doubt I ever have another long term relationship, my area is not known for liberal agnostic/atheist men over age 55. Yeah, I'm kinda bummed about not having someone special in my life, so I'm going to go start another quilt. The quilt will keep me warm in bed, and the cats respond to voice commands, so I don't think I'm missing that much.

So typical.

HippieChick58 comments on May 30, 2021:

Please find some sympathy for your friend. Having a child with "special" needs is an overwhelming challenge whether or not you're a believer. When your child is sick you will grasp at any straws that show promise, and if you're part of the brainwashed crowd then of course god is in control. Yes, I agree, I don't understand how they can accept that god is "challenging" them and their child. The same way I don't understand why their god allows any child to be mistreated. But when they are in the trenches fighting that battle for and with their child is not the time for any challenge to their religious beliefs. Yes, now that I am out in the fresh air of sanity I know that especially the xian belief system is a wacked out delusion to be sure. But now is not the time for your friend to be challenged for her beliefs. She needs every comfort she can find. Trust me, I'm a mom and grammie, there is nothing more daunting than your child's illness. My granddaughter was born the day after xmas, 5 weeks early, and spent several days in the NICU. It was not a good time and she was born out of town so it she was not in a local hospital. (She was healthy, just needed to get over the shock of the early birth, just needed some additional monitoring.) When you have a sick child you need all the support you can get, it's freaking scary. Yes, it is sad, and even nearly criminal how people trust in "god" who arranged all this. All you can do now is support the friend, and if you can't then she needs your silence.

Pretty respectable so far.
