Detritus comments on Jul 17, 2021:

I am tempted to feel good about the way that these deaths are primarily among anti-vaxers which means Trumpers. It looks like natural selection dumping Chlorox to clean up the gene pool I would prefer that they admit the truth and get vaccinated but it is what it is.

HippieChick58 replies on Jul 17, 2021:

If they are vaccinated they will be less risk to others. I just spent the morning in a waiting room at an auto dealership getting my car serviced. I wore a mask most of the time, I was one of the very few. The Covid numbers are going up, and I'd rather err on the side of caution. I tried to social distance, but people kept choosing seats near me.... I considered growling but I just kept my mask on.

That was first published in 1975. It was based on his two earlier books If Only They Could Talk (1970) and It Shouldn't Happen to a Vet (1972), and was given the same title as the 1972 US compilation volume of these two novels, was released in 1975. The series has 5 books.

HippieChick58 replies on Jun 13, 2021:

@rainmanjr women have always desired and needed pockets. Men decided women shouldn't have ways of hiding what they were carrying in case they decided to carry money and make a get away. And then there are the designers who decided pockets would mess up the lines and make us look lumpy so we didn't deserve them. I'm sorry, f**k that. I want my pockets and I don't give a rip what my lines look like. I'm not here to be visually pleasing to anyone. "make their mate carry things for them..." I seem to be missing a mate, I carry my own damn crap, and did when I had a mate too. So many times in women's apparel pockets have been mostly for show, not for function. I can sew, and I fixed that, damn the designer. I should have gotten a rebate on the price of the slacks. Handbags suck, have you ever seen a crook grab a woman's handbag and make a run for it? I carry my cell phone and my keys on my person when I am out of my home. I don't buy pants that don't have useful pockets, and currently I wear mostly jeans. Even my exercise pants have a pocket for my cell phone.

@The-Krzyz I grew up in Nebraska, I saw Wizard of Oz every year throughout my childhood. We used to stand in the yard and watch tornado activity, only going inside if the rain got crazy. I have lived all over, including Kansas, and now I'm back in Nebraska. Kansas history is more tumultuous than Nebraska's, I don't know it as well but I know a bit of it. Bleeding Kansas and John Brown and all the civil war unrest. I fear for the future for Kansas and Nebraska. Our plains are so dependent upon the Ogallala aquifer which is under attack from potential oil spills due to the pipelines, but also just over use.

The article was written in March, I think that's reasonable. I'm sure they had to be cleaned, as did so many other things after the BS of the past administration.

@TheGreatShadow It isn't a contest, but I admit I don't have it terrible. That isn't saying it has been easy, but I know others have it worse. Also, I grew up in small town NE, there is no way I'd live there again. That ship done sailed more than 30 years ago.

Does anyone still balance their checking account?

DenoPenno comments on May 27, 2021:

I have 3 accounts and do online banking daily. Imagine the shell game of trying to figure out where the pea is, and that is how I do my accounts. All must balance and figure properly for this to work well. I pay by card and carry very little money.

HippieChick58 replies on May 28, 2021:

@DenoPenno I check my bank daily and other accounts more or less monthly sometimes more often. I keep a spreadsheet of my financial picture. In fact my goal for this weekend is to tidy up the spreadsheet and close out the month of May. I haven't had a paycheck for two months, so I really don't live paycheck to paycheck or I'd be dead. However, I started a new job this week, so that will help my cash flow, and my health. Too young for Medicare, I need a job to have medical benefits.

I always have cash on me, in fact some large bills are hidden in case of emergency, but usually over $50 in cash. My kids think I'm nuts, and I'm OK with that.
