Well it looks like Matias has blocked me again, and I was not even remotely rude this time.

It's not you, it's them. They just can't handle you. I decided long ago that once I blocked someone they're dead to me. I don't unblock. What other people do is their own business. Life is too short...

@MsKathleen The first New Years Day that I was on the site, I unblocked everyone that I had previously blocked. Sort of a New Year's Experiment, think New Year - New Start. That lasted about 2 weeks. I consider that a learning experience. I was reminded of the reasons I blocked them in the first place, and decided that decision was the correct one for me, and I have no need to repeat that experience. I have no idea if someone has blocked me, I don't care. Life is too short, I'm too busy and don't have bandwidth to worry about it.

If we were to meet socially, I'm member of several groups in my area of like minded people and I have an idea of where they stand on issues that are important to me, then maybe 3. Two of my groups of acquaintances are non believers so that is a good start. I had one date with a guy from a dating site who liked to hang out nude at home and he had cats that had incredibly matted fur and his house smelled like a litter box. I don't have a great sense of smell and the place made my eyes water. All he talked about was being naked. This is NOT a dude I'm ever going to introduce to my kids, it was definitely a one and DONE.

Last time she and her ultra liberal uber intelligent husband drove him to a family gathering, ex decided to debate her husband in the car. I had lunch with them afterwards and son in law was fuming!!!! The debate continued by text after lunch. I generally do not interfere with kidlets and their dad, however I did suggest to my daughter that she set boundaries with her dad. I don't want to see SIL with a heart attack. I suggest no discussion of religion or politics in the car, and if her dad can't do that, then he can drive himself. It had not occurred to her to set boundaries. I am looking forward to see how this plays out. Ex HATES getting his wings clipped, I only wonder if he hates driving himself more. And with the way he drives, it won't be long until he has enough tickets that he wont' be driving at all.

@Gwendolyn2018 I don't like curves and fussy, I prefer traditional; mostly squares and half square triangles. My quilts are not nearly as artistic as yours. I am looking to venture into the 60 degree cuts, like the storm at sea block and variations. I've been so busy recently that I've hardly gotten into my sewing room, and it may continue that way until winter...

One of my girls has discussed with me that she wants me to make a king size plus quilt for her and her new husband (after 7 years of cohabiting they tied the knot recently.) She wants oversize because they are both cover hogs. So eventually we have to get ...

HippieChick58 replies on Jun 12, 2022:
@Petter I try to buy permanent press clothing, but I also prefer natural fibers. Generally my clothing goes from washer to dryer to hanger. Most of the time any wrinkles fall out before I wear them again. If I really need to look sharp I might do a touch up with an iron, that hasn't been needed for such a long time. I try not to throw away clothing unless they are too worn to wear again, most of mine that are in decent shape are donated to charity. I realize most charities ship it overseas where it clogs up their system. Most days I'm in jeans and T shirts, it doesn't matter what I look like, I WFH. Since I've been mostly WFH for two years, I have worn some of my clothing to the point they were only good for the trash bin. That makes my frugal heart feel good.

@Redheadedgammy I moved to Omaha in 2005. Yes, I hear you about the icy winters. I remember as a kid we had snow, then rain, and a hard freeze. Then more snow, and more freeze, followed by more rain, freeze and snow. We had an accumulation of about 10 inches. I was about 10, and I remember walking on top of the snow without breaking the surface. I've had more falls on snow/ice than I care to remember. I am uber careful now. If I break something I have to go live with a kid til I heal, and I don't think either of us wants that.

The AR15 is to effect mass casualties. It is meant to destroy the target. It isn't for hunting game where you want to preserve the meat. It has no purpose other than killing.

I haven't heard anything about the recent shooting yet. However, it seems reasonable that well adjusted people do not shoot up elementary schools. It was possibly mental illness, or family dysfunction. But the one common denominator is that the shooters had access to weapons and ammunition.

And he likely has reason to be cautious. Scams and frauds are rampant these days. I think it has gotten much worse lately.
Treat men who want to buy a gun like a woman wanting an abortion.
BitFlipper comments on May 28, 2022:
Not a new idea, but good for the conversation.
Would you make the same requirements of women who want a gun?
HippieChick58 replies on May 28, 2022:
YES!!!! Anyone who wants to buy a gun, regardless of gender or skin color or age.

They also love money far more than children. And their bible teaches that the love of money is the root of all evil. They're evil incarnate.

The History Of Women And Credit Cards | Bankrate
silverotter11 comments on May 25, 2022:
I remember in the 70's my parents could not get a credit card. They owned their home and cars. But since they did not have much of a credit history, other than the mortgage on the house they were denied a credit card. They only reason they wanted one was for vacation trips, they had the money but...
HippieChick58 replies on May 25, 2022:
Balance transfers are still popular. I started working for a credit union last year, got their CC and did a BT at % APR for 12 months of my CC debt from unemployment. I will have that paid off in two more months. It saved me quite a bit of money and I hope I never have to do that again.

Do you think the age for legal firearm purchases should be raised? To what age?
HippieChick58 comments on May 24, 2022:
No, it should NOT be raised. Guns need to be regulated and INSURED. Insurance companies will shut down the industry to avoid losses. All gun owners need to complete at least 40 hours of safety training to get a license, and additional training on gun safety annually. Personal liability insurance ...
HippieChick58 replies on May 24, 2022:
@PondartIncbendog If the insurance industry gets involved they will shut it down tighter than a damn drum. That is my ultimate objective. The reason we have so many safety features in cars is the insurance industry pushed for it. Once insurance has to pay a huge settlement, they'll fix the industry like the government can't/won't.

January 13, 2021 My newest and smallest grandchild. She arrived 5 weeks early and is now 2.5 weeks old and is less than 7 pounds. I've never held such a small baby before. She is quite perfect and very amazing. I love being a Grammy.
