I lived in Hampton Roads, in the late 1980s, early 1990s. My youngest daughter was born at Riverside Hospital in Newport News in 1992, her dad was assigned to Ft. Monroe. Your posting has made me so glad that we moved.

@LiterateHiker I will be joining my children and grands tomorrow. I am fortunate that they are all within 45 minutes from me. The oldest grand turns 5 tomorrow. The current youngest grand will be one on Sunday. And there is "a bun in the oven" for the summer. My kids grew up as Army brats, and rarely lived around family. They have all made a point of staying in the area, and I love being close to them and their babies. I love being Grammy.

@TomMcGiverin My baseline is never, ever lie. Especially if it is something that can easily be exposed. If I find I've been lied to I'd never trust you again. You might try avoiding the question and see if that changes the outcomes, that is not telling a lie. I don't know if "hide" is the best word, just not bringing it to the forefront. When I was actively on dating sites, the issue was not so much whether there were kids connected, it was mostly political/religion. I won't hide that I'm liberal or non religious, and in this part of the cornbelt that's the death knell.

@TomMcGiverin OMG NO! Most women have experienced that their ex's kids are brats and very over protective of daddy, or afraid of daddy's bucks/attention being diverted. I know a woman married for 24 years (2nd marriage for both) her ex's daughter hated her for various imaginary reasons. This lady was sticking with her husband despite his several strokes and having to retire early. His daughter persuaded daddy that the wife wasn't supportive and he moved out just recently. With a ton of help, but he moved out. He's in a wheelchair. The lady was upset, and then she realized she didn't have to take care of him, deal with his reluctance to follow his treatment, and worry about him any longer, and it was a load off her mind. She is a stylish, very attractive woman, she will have no shortage of attention if she chooses to go back on the dating scene. I had a step mother when I was a teenager, my mom died when I was 14 and my dad remarried 6 months later. If that witch thought any of us were going to take care of her, she approached it the wrong way, and if Dad told her we'd be good he was sadly mistaken. She was a bitch from the get go, and alienated all of us. She is a huge part of the reason I joined the Army. She and Dad had a miserable marriage, they were married for nearly 25 years. All of this makes me very wary of men with kids, and most women I know are the same way.

If they divorced you over your political views, something is wrong with them aside from their political views. Couples can have opposing political views and still have a strong marriage.. James Carville and Mary Matalin come to mind as well as Arnie and Maria. For me, I did not know my ex's political views when I married him, I wasn't even sure of my own at that time. Today we're about diametrically opposed on sooo very many issues. My divorce was not caused by politics, but so many other things that go hand in hand with opposing political and life views. My ex has become a Fox loving religious conservative follower, I'm surprised I stuck around as long as I did.

@rainmanjr Omaha is the liberal pocket in this state, and just barely. And yeah, some Nebraska cops don't have enough to do, damn flat boring state. I know where Johnny Carson grew up, even he got out of this state.
This conservative Republican just told an uncomfortable truth about the Trump wing in Congress

Adam Daniel Kinzinger is an American politician serving as the U.S. Representative for Illinois's 16th congressional district. The district covers eastern Rockford, most of Rockford's suburbs, and a swath of exurban territory around Chicago. He is a member of the Republican Party.
Adam Kinzinger was born on February 27, 1978, in Kankakee, Illinois, the son of Betty Jo, an elementary school teacher, and Rus Kinzinger, a CEO of faith-based organizations. After spending part of his youth in Jacksonville, Florida, he was primarily raised in Bloomington, Illinois. He graduated from Normal Community West High School in 1996[7] and earned a bachelor's degree in political science from Illinois State University in 2000.[8]
In 1998, while a student at Illinois State, Kinzinger ran for election as a county board member in McLean County. He won, at age 20, and was one of the youngest serving county board members in McLean County history,[9][10] defeating an incumbent county board member. Kinzinger remained on the board until his resignation in 2003.[11]
Kinzinger worked as an intern for former U.S. Senator Peter Fitzgerald shortly after his graduation from Illinois State, as part of a program offered there.[12]
I don't find any connection to Nebraska for him, thank dawg. We've got enough wackos here.

I highly prefer MS, it is not indicative of marital status. I work as a customer service rep, taking calls all day. Usually the account pops up when the member calls in. I address women as ma'am or MS last name. For men it is SIR and Mr. last name. When I can't guess the gender then I fudge. However, my point is, I don't want to be addressed by my marital status. MR is not indicative of marital status, why should anyone be addressed by marital status.

I remember that in second grade I was so engrossed in a book I did not hear the teacher call my reading group, she smacked my desk to get my attention. My kids learned that if they wanted to ask permission for something I was likely to say "no" to, to ask when I was reading. I don't do well with audio books, my mind is likely to wander off on an adjacent path and I lose track of the story. If I am in a class I have to take written notes to stay focused. Humans are really one size does not fit all, neurodivergence is a thing, and I think it is a good thing.

So I am weaning off my treats to see if I can get better sleep, and I'm going to investigate natural vasoconstrictors.

@barjoe I have stuck with Toyota dealer because of the perks. They make it easy for me to get my car in and out around my work schedules. I worked some weird schedules for a few years. Current job will likely stay largely WFH and 8 to 5, so I won't need as much flexibility, and I hope to DAWG I stay in this job until I can retire! I will look around for a non dealer repair when the time comes. Thanks for taking the time to send me all the good advice. My next car may well be a Toyota, I'm very pleased with mine. But I'm hoping to keep it for at least another year, or until the current car crisis resolves. I service auto loans in my jobs, and the numbers of people who have arranged to buy a car to have it sold to someone else is staggering. I hear from about one person a day, and there are over 150 of us in the same job who hear the same stories. It is crazy out there.

I service auto loans in my jobs, and the numbers of people who have arranged to buy a car to have it sold to someone else is staggering. I hear from about one person a day, and there are over 150 of us in the same job who hear the same stories. It is crazy out there.

@barjoe The theory being I might NEED the spare, though in 15 years I've never had to put the spare on. It does have a sensor in it, and if that sensor is not working the light comes on. The dealer is convenient, and ex always took our cars there. Money was not a concern for him/his family. They are convenient, the waiting areas are clean and comfortable, and I'm kinda intimidated about finding a new auto service place. I did decide that next car I will find a cheaper place to get the cars fixed. And my neighborhood FB group is a joke. I'm in a small lower priced neighborhood. The surrounding neighborhoods are houses about double the cost of mine. Yeah, I don't talk to those people. My street had all lives matter signs in the yards. The next street over had blue lives matter and trump signs. There's way too many Karens and Billy Bobs on the neighborhood group. I am a liberal atheist in a sea of OMG I don't know what those people are thinking.

@barjoe By the time it was all done, replacing those sensors was about $250 per tire, and I have the spare on the rear. Thankfully that happened after I started current job and had steady income. I plan to drive Elmo for at least another year, maybe longer. I like being up a bit higher, it is easy for me to get in and out of, it's paid for, and I'm used to it.

@barjoe Way cool!! Thanks for that info. Never been in a major accident. Seriously, it is RED and big, and I was rear ended on my way to work once. How can you NOT see me? It has about 145K miles on it. I usually keep up with the Toyota recommended service. I just had all the sensors replaced in the tires, that was shocking.

@RichCC I once told my kids I'd stop driving the Rav when they pry my car keys out of my cold dead hands. I have come to the conclusion that I may last longer than the Rav, or the Rav will become too expensive to keep roadworthy, and then I may have to replace it. For now, I'm WFH, my mileage is way down and I'm saving where I can for that future car and retirement.

@RichCC @barjoe Have I mentioned that I drive a 15 year old Rav4? It is still going strong, but it makes me nervous as well. I have never kept a car for so long. My ex liked to get rid of them as soon as they got over 7 or so years old. I drove 3 Chrysler minivans in 19 years. He was almost frothing at the mouth to get rid of the last minivan when we got the Rav. I like NOT having a car payment. I know I have to get a newer car one day, but I'm putting it off as long as I can.

Since I WFH for the foreseeable future I doubt if I meet him through work. I had to consult (over the phone) with one of my co-workers, and he had a voice that made me melt, think James Earl Jones. Then he mentioned he was getting married in the near future. Oh well :)

So somebody with expired tags and no insurance is driving around committing traffic offenses, possibly drunk and traffic cops aren't allowed to stop them. I guess a lot of you on this site think that is a good thing. I don't think it is.
HippieChick58 replies on Nov 1, 2021:
How would you or a cop "know" if they have no insurance? What behavior does the driver exhibit? The article does not mention drunk driving, but there are behaviors that drivers show when they are drunk, that I think would warrant a stop. Too many times drivers have been stopped for BWD (Black While Driving) and it ends up in a fatality. If they are not exhibiting any other potentially hazardous behavior then they should not be stopped. I read of a white lady that had a Standard Poodle that was black and used to ride in the front seat. She would frequently get stopped when the dog was a passenger. She never got stopped when she was alone. Go figure.

@dalefvictor I have had two inches of rain overnight, and slept through it. I have been hearing thunder off an on since I woke up. If there is flooding, I live near the top of a hill so I will be fine, unless it really gets crazy. Thank you for your concern.
Just joined a dating group on fb.
LiterateHiker comments on Oct 23, 2021:
@kraseyk
What is a dating group? Do you go on group dates?
Did you mean a dating website?
What is a "solid 1.5" and "a 1,000"? What does that mean?
Calling you a "wildebeest" was beyond rude. No man ever said that to me.
HippieChick58 replies on Oct 23, 2021:
@kraseyk I'm a firm believer that beauty is only skin deep, and this dude was likely not drop dead gorgeous either. You don't need that negativity in your life. I'd rather have a plain dude who thinks I'm smart and kind, rather than a pretty boy who is turned off by my wrinkles and grey hairs.

I've consumed my allotment of free articles at The Atlantic for this month. All I can say is that I used the passenger seat in my car this summer for more than just groceries.
HippieChick58 replies on Oct 22, 2021:
Front passenger seat is where I keep my purse, my phone, my plethora of masks, my cloth shopping bag assortment, water bottle, smaller purchases, and anything that needs to be dropped off, usually library books. I haven't had a human passenger in my car for at least a year, and I'm pretty sure the last passenger was a grandchild in the back seat. Last time I was a passenger was traveling with adult children.

Our schools need to teach financial literacy, basic and accurate human anatomy and health care. Schools need to teach critical thinking skills, literacy, true history. Our kids are educated enough just to fit into a workplace, but not enough to be well informed consumers. We are hurting future generations that these children will be responsible for.

10 Reasons to Wear a Mask
whiskywoman comments on Oct 13, 2021:
I have masks for Halloween and xmas and other holidays and cat ones and scary ones kinda fun
HippieChick58 replies on Oct 13, 2021:
Last year when the pandemic began, I made masks for one of my daughters, she works for the Public Schools. I made holiday masks, and general purpose masks. I gave her quite a stack. The rest of the kids, spouses, and grands got just a few masks, she got more because of her job. I remember thinking that sewing them was overkill, use once and we'd never use them again. Now we're in the second year of the pandemic and they're getting lots more use than I ever expected.

HippieChick58 replies on Oct 5, 2021:
Your lead guitar player was likely suffering from Post Polio Syndrome, where actually the symptoms of polio come back and mess with you all over again. I knew a gal in the mid 80s that had polio as a child and at that time was having some weakness where the polio had affected her most. It was expected to be progressive. So polio wasn't truly cured, it was just postponed.

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.
