Everything is reported to Admin, all investigations are done on public websites, google is your friend.

I realized early on I am not a FWB type of person. I have found that it doesn't usually mean friends, it means convinience, and usually his. I decided I am an all or nothing person. I may be alone but I don't feel short changed.

I don't "need" a man. If I can't do it myself I have daughters that will help. If the daughters can't do it they have long term partners that are the nicest guys ever. Between the six of them, if they can't do it I will hire someone to do it. Would I like to have a man in my life, sure. But not to "do things" for me, just to be with me.

Omaha has several meet up groups that I belong two, one I am quite active with. The group I am most active with is Omaha Metropolitan Area Humanists Association. We have a weekly book club, a monthly social meeting, and a almost monthly educational type of meeting. Great people, great times. We also have REASON which is Rationalists, Empiricists And Skeptics Of Nebraska. I don't make as many meetings because they're not good times/locations for me. Omaha also has a Baby Boomers group, I've attended some functions with them, not as enjoyable for me, but still good to hang out with folks about my age.

When I was a kid we had to give our old tomcat a bath, he got into something that he shouldn't have been licking off himself. He was a tough but sweet old guy. It still took 3 of us to give him a bath. One kid had the front feet, one the back feet, and one the body. He made lots of noise but never clawed any of us. Now I think back on that and I wonder what the hell dad was thinking to make us do that without supervision. Oy.

I belong to a Secular Humanist group, and we have a book club that meets weekly. We have had a new couple find us and join us. They came from deeply religious backgrounds. They were missionaries in Eastern Europe and House Parent at Boy's Town. In the past year they have left their church and changed their lives because they came to the realization that the bible and organized religion is bunk. So, your new correspondent could be on a similar journey. It's damn scary when it has been your whole life and your income/position is tied up in it, to have enlightenment dawn.

There is a small town in Nebraska that was pretty much wiped out, they are thinking it is time to move the town to higher ground. Ya think? I am not sure if they should disband the town and move to neighboring towns that might need the business or just move the town. It is not like there is a mandate for the town to exist. I who have lived a somewhat nomadic life have no ties to any towns. Others may not agree. Since I realize I don't have a dog in that fight and the outcome will not affect me much, I simply don't care.

Have you ever had anyone try to guilt you into something?

HippieChick58 comments on Aug 31, 2019:

Guilting someone is another form of emotional abuse. My grandmother used it like a sledge hammer. She would threaten to have a heart attack if we did not comply. One of my brothers looked her full in the face and said "go for it." That was the last time she pulled that little trick. It was a great lesson for me. I don't think I can be guilted now. It just isn't my responsibility to take care of your whims.

Smart Recovery https://www.smartrecovery.org/ I have friends who are peer counselors/helpers with this program. It has both online groups and local, in person groups. Self-Management And Recovery Training (SMART) is a global community of mutual-support groups. At meetings, participants help one another resolve problems with any addiction (to drugs or alcohol or to activities such as gambling or over-eating). Participants find and develop the power within themselves to change and lead fulfilling and balanced lives guided by our science-based and sensible 4-Point Program®. It is non religous, my friends are in my Humanist groups.

Goodness gracious it's been awhile everyone! Hi! So my friend goes to a private christian college...

HippieChick58 comments on Aug 29, 2019:

Part of the reason I rejected religion and especially the Xian church is the treatment of women. I am female (stating the obvious I hope) and I have daughters. When they were teens I read the buybull three times cover to cover. One of the stories that kept bothering me was the story of Tamar, daughter of King David. She is raped by her brother and her life is ruined, and yet she is the daughter of the King and it definitely wasn't her fault. Looking at my own daughters I thought WT(not so holy)F! So I started looking with more feminist eyes and I thought this is absolutely BS. Then my critical thinking skills came back to life, it did take a few years, but when you start really questioning stuff you won't like the answers. Then look at all the world religions and it is so much of the same BS over and over again. The movies of the Zeitgeist series were about the final nails in the coffin. So, why am I an atheist... because my eyes are open and I am a thinker. God calls for rape, pillage, and plunder. He created us in his image, gave us sharp minds, planted that damn tree; and then he wants us to be sheep. He loves us so much that he will burn us forever in hell if we don't love him. Yeah, that is just messed up. Thanks but no.

And when I'd sleep I'd dream I heard the doorbell. If the dog was still in bed with me, and the cat was still asleep I'd know it was only a dream. If the doorbell really rang the cat would hide and the dog would be waiting eagerly for me to open the door so he could meet his newest friend.

As an experiment I unblocked everyone on New Year's day. There was one member that was reblocked within a couple of months. IMHO, life is just to short to try to deal with other people's issues when they are not making any attempt. This person seemed to enjoy needling and nit picking. Nope. As I am a mod/group owner, if I block personally I block in my groups as well. Owners/mods have to be able see what is posted in our groups. Next new years day I will likely repeat the experiment with the exception of that one person. What was really interesting of the 4 or 5 that I had blocked, several had dropped off the site. Such is the transient nature of social medial type sites.

At the time the Army did not need medics, and I didn't even consider that route. 2. I regret not getting any continuing education earlier. I was convinced by my now ex that I wasn't too bright and didn't need to go to school. 3. When I finally did go to finish a degree I stopped at an Associates. Had I been able to stick the marriage out longer I'd be better off now, but I was eager to end the charade.

My mom died in 1972, I was 14, my sisters were 12 and 8. My brothers were all out of the house, two in the Navy and one in Juvie. My dad was so freaked out by the idea of raising 3 girls he married the first woman he dated, and he was married 6 months after our mother passed. That old phrase, marry in haste repent in leisure really played out. They were miserably married for nearly 30 years. She attacked my two younger sisters with a knife, they still have the defensive scars on their arms. She was largely the reason I joined the Army. It got me the hell of of that hell. My dad never got a chance to grieve my mom and I think he wished for death long before he died. So never, ever rush.

What about grief?

HippieChick58 comments on Aug 22, 2019:

I dated a guy who joined a dating site the DAY OF his late wife's funeral. We had a first date within a week, there were still funeral flowers in his house. She had a long term chronic debilitating condition that unexpectedly became fatal. We dated for a few weeks, he really wanted to move forward fast, until he had a major anxiety attack and put it all on hold. He started seeing a therapist and said he'd call back in 6 months. He didn't. He had an unusual name, and something triggered a memory, so I googled him and found his obit. He passed on 5 months after our end, less than a year after his late wife died. They had a kid still in high school. He was mid 50s. I don't know if it was grief or what, but for sure he wasn't ready to move on that fast.

A massive stroke would be cool, with severe impairment of speech and mobility, some drooling and facial drooping would be awesome. Anything that his followers would find repugnant. Definitely something to keep him off the golf course and out of the public eye. Make it easier for the secret service to "protect" him.
