I would tell your mom that if she is embarrassed that is her choice, you're a grown ass woman and can make your own decisions. It no longer reflects on her upbringing of you. Can we say "emotional blackmail?" Don't fall for it. I tend to agree with your therapist, but then I've had different life experiences than you have had, I have pretty much done that. What is the worst that will happen if you don't go? If that happens can you live with it? Only you can make that decision, and when you do, do what is best for you. You have to be your advocate.

Does anyone have a worm bin?

HippieChick58 comments on Apr 28, 2019:

I have a worm bin. It was in the kitchen but it got infested with fruit flies last fall, so it got moved to the garage. Then when it got REALLY cold I moved it into the basement. I will be moving it back to the garage soon. I love it, I switch it out about twice a year. Mine is only two bins, top and bottom; made out of plastic storage containers with lots of holes drilled in the right places. I will add the castings in the bottom bin to the garden soon, and then fill it with damp shredded newspaper. Then it will become the top bin where I add the kitchen scraps. The worm will travel to the top bin when they are finished with the bottom bin. I find it fascinating!

These are from the 1950s, who knows what they are?

Is there anything in your life (besides religion) that you have completely changed your opinion ...

HippieChick58 comments on Apr 28, 2019:

Way back when I was not accepting of anything besides Male and Female, and there were no lines to be crossed and no blending to be done. I realize that is what I was taught by society, and what I saw. I lived around some really homophobic people. When I was in the Army, getting into a much bigger world was very awakening, and my journey has continued. I have learned to meet people where they are, not where I think they should be. Everyone has their own journey.

Well, Mother Nature out here in Nebraska needs to warm it up a bit. The grandbabies, my girls, and I went for a walk today, and we cut it short because we were worried about the grands getting too cold. Forecast was to get to 60° and then drop after lunch. I don't think it got to 48° and the wind was blowing. Definitely a day for many layers. I had thought about getting my garden planted today, but that is going to wait.

The high was supposed to be 60° by noon and then temps were supposed to fall. It didn't get above 48° today before the temps started to fall. Our late morning walk with grandchildren was breezy and just too cold. I had hoped to shop for the plants for the garden, but not this week.

Happy Saturday everyone. Still busy moving. Not posting until tomorrow. Have a good day everyone.

I have my granddaughter visiting tonight, she's almost 2.5 years old. We went for a walk and she was fascinated by the flowering trees. So I got her up close and personal with them, and she plucked a petal off a flower. She was fascinated by it! It is so cool to watch them learn.

Tired, not enough sleep last night, woke up too early. Granddaughter will be spending the evening with me so I'm happy. There is nothing more amusing than a 2 year old you can hop up on sugar and send home to her parents... I won't do that to them. We will have a good time though.

Why Romantic Relationships are not the Cure for Loneliness.

HippieChick58 comments on Apr 26, 2019:

I was lonelier married than I ever have been single. When I was married towards the end I was lonely because he made other things his priority and we had no intimacy or connection. He didn't care about my feelings or needs. When I told him I was depressed he told me he didn't want to hear about it because it was so depressing. Seriously, that was his reply. Like it is catching. So, I found other friends, other activities and my own life. And I found I like peaceful solitude and no unwelcome visitors. I'm alone most of the time, but far less lonely.

HippieChick58 comments on Apr 26, 2019:

I would say, and do say love is an action verb, it is a decision every day to act in a loving manner. Yes it is an emotion that arises from the oxytocin created by the action/attraction. When they first handed me my first daughter I did not feel very loving towards that twerp, it was not an easy birth. But the act of caring for her, skin to skin contact,and time created the bond between us.

HippieChick58 comments on Apr 25, 2019:

I don't have an opportunity to meet many single men in my day to day life, so online is the only way to meet someone. What are ya gonna do? However, I've mostly given up, I'm resigned that I am Ms Right for me, gotta be. I think that most people are the same way, there are just not places or time for singles to hang out, especially once you're out of colllege/High school. I'm so far out of those, and don't go to church, so no options to really meet people.

HippieChick58 comments on Apr 24, 2019:

I think the general forum really is needed. I think it was a good place for the community to come together, where everyone could share with everyone. I think posting only to groups will alienate many newbies and even some long time members. @Admin, Please reconsider and bring back the General Forum.
