My grandmother's neighbor had a cat that liked to sleep in baskets of wet laundry. He went through a cycle in a gas dryer. He got out alive, and was the meanest, toughest SOB cat in the neighborhood. Dogs were afraid of him. There were no other intact male cats in a half mile of where he lived. His ears and tail got broken in that cycle, and from what I remember pads were burned as well. He is lucky to have survived.

HippieChick58 comments on Mar 2, 2019:

I got rid of Cable TV in 2015. I've gotten rid of most of my jewelry because I just wasn't wearing it. Tacos just aren't that yummy. Wines are a huge maybe. I haven't worn sweat pants in years. I did find a pair when I was cleaning out closets, they went to the donation bin. Cheese is a sometimes thing, Netflix about 4 times a month maybe, unless SamSam comes over. I gave up sugar which eliminated most chocolate. I'd love to have a dog but my yard would need to be fenced and I can no longer open my sliding door to the deck/backyard. That would be awkward. Coffee is once a day for caffeine only, I'd be just as good with taking caffeine pills. Oh, I add some supplements to my coffee, or vice versa. I've got Books and Cats. Substitute Sushi for Tacos and I can find 3.

HippieChick58 comments on Mar 1, 2019:

The god thing, I did laugh out loud. Meeting someone when you stop looking... After I became single I was on several dating sites, had a LTLDR (long term long distance relationship). That ended and after a while I tried online dating again. Then I dropped off all dating sites for a couple years, then went back on them, nothing changed. Dropped off again, and on again. After finding Ag.com I dropped off all online dating sites. I'm still single. I don't know if that will ever change. But I have this theory that you should begin as you mean to go on. We make resolutions all the time, so when you decide a change is needed, figure out how you want to be and do it. So I am living like I will always be single. I do what I wanna do when I wanna do it. I do things that make me happy, and I answer only to me. I have taken vacations alone. I eat out alone. I have gotten active with groups in my area with similar interests to mine. I have decided I am the right person for me. I'm going to be happy because I deserve to be happy, and truly I don't mind my own company. It ain't perfect, but even if I had a partner there is no guarantee it would be perfect. It will be what you make it. I'm not waiting for someone else to come along to either complete me or make me happy. I am complete, and I am happy. And more importantly, I am content.

HippieChick58 comments on Mar 1, 2019:

There is nothing in free will that says we have any power. We have the ability to make choices, to make decisions, but it doesn't mean that things will work out for the best. For example, I know I should avoid lions, they might eat me. However they can move much faster than I can. I need to leave a safe space to get water or I'll die, and I am eaten by a lion on the way. Screwed no matter which way you go.

Yeah, I wash all my fresh produce, no matter where it is supposed to have come from.

Please, for your mental health, put those people out of your life. There is a book I recommend. Toxic Parents by Susan Forward. That helped me so much!! My kids did not spend ANY time alone with my dad and step witch because of the abuse I endured at their hands. My kids probably saw my dad less than 10 times in their lives. I have read that the cycle of abuse is perpetuated through the generations, well for my kids I ended it. My sisters were the same way, none of the kids spent much time with their uncles or the grandparents. I seriously think going into the Army saved me. I got away from their crap and eventually realized how sick they were. If keeping up with family is costing you your peace of mind, shut that down. Your peace of mind is more important than the connection.
