I never feel I'm nothing. I will never deliberately live without a cat, I could not have a cat while I was in the Army, I don't think I've ever been without a cat since then except for a few weeks after heart cat passed on. I have chosen not to live with a man at least for the time being.

Omaha, Nebraska is home to Warren Buffet, and I kinda generally know where his house is. Omaha also has the world's largest indoor rainforest. It is at the Henry Doorly Zoo. We have CarHenge. It is the birthplace of Koolaid. It is the home of the Runza, and if you don't know what that is, it was better when I was a kid. Johnny Carson was from the state (does anyone remember him?) And President Ford was born in Omaha.

Maybe you fine people can explain something to me.

HippieChick58 comments on Dec 15, 2018:

Part of the reason is that women approximately your age might have been taught to "play nice" and not hurt anyone's feelings. I say might because I'm 60 and that is what I was taught. I however taught my kids to be freaking honest and shoot straight as I try to do now. Women used to be given a crapload of mixed messages growing up. Also, it is easier to avoid unpleasantness than deal with it, and some people have no backbone. Or it is true that the kid was sick and now she is sick and she just didn't feel like dealing with you at the moment. And having kids this might not be the best time to bring on a new demand for her time. Really, parenting is hard and single parenting can be overwhelming. It does suck whichever way it is.

I am fair skinned and fair haired. I stopped shaving anything about 6 years ago. Unless you're really up close and personal you can't see it. I have thick chin hairs that I pluck often enough. My eyebrows turned gray so they're lighter than my hair. I do shade them in if I wear makeup. I don't color my hair, and I've possibly got about 50 visible gray hairs. Meh, I'm 60, bound to happen sooner or later. I'm not going to spend money to change my hair any.

HippieChick58 comments on Dec 14, 2018:

I am from a family of 6, 3 older brothers and two younger sisters. So I'm not sure where I belong in the traditional birth order theory. I'm the oldest of the girls, and I have many qualities of the oldest child. My youngest sister is definitely a baby of the family, and all my brothers defy the birth order logic. The oldest is a dead beat dad, hasn't been in touch for over 30 years, not responsible at all. I have three girls, and they pretty much follow birth order theory. As adults they gossip about one another, but the oldest is uber responsible, the middle is the negotiator and care taker type, and the youngest tends to be flaky.

HippieChick58 comments on Dec 13, 2018:

My problem turned out to be not the gluten, but the fact that wheat can be treated with Roundup to shorten the length of time it takes for the wheat to dry for harvest. This is an off label use and does not have to be reported by the farmers. I developed "leaky gut syndrome" which is likely the result of eating bread products that were made with wheat treated with Roundup. It is hard to prove though. So my solution was to avoid all products made with wheat, and yes going gluten free. I now find that organic wheat products are safe for me.
