TGIF!! Have a great day!!

Woot!! Woot!! First Friday with Omaha Humanists, and my last day of work! I will be retired at 5:00 CDT.

Have a great Friday, all, and a great weekend!

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 7, 2018:

My last paid employment day for a while, essentially I'm retiring! Wonderful Friday!

Good morning and happy Friday! My mouth feels fairly well, just a little sore, but no real pain, ...

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 7, 2018:

My last day at work! I'm retiring! Last coffee until..... Connie, no pain is good! Glad you're healing well!

How many remember this guy, Michael O'Brien?

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 6, 2018:

Oh yes they call it the streak!

My cat just challenged me to a game of “Guess where I pooped before you step in it”. I lost.

Who taught you? ???

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 6, 2018:

My dad and big brothers. We didn't do no damn training wheels.

Powerful and profound statement.

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 6, 2018:

Beautiful, well said, and heart felt. Thanks for posting this. It is very, very touching.

I'm goofy as hell ? but if ?

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 6, 2018:

Oh for damn sure. Sometimes I wonder how the hell I got this far.

When I was about 15 years old I was sitting at the dinner table.

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 6, 2018:

Did you ever find out WHY she was walking down the street naked? That was about 1984? Pretty risque back then, even for Southern CA.

What do you do better than anyone else?

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 6, 2018:

Mama and Grammy.

Dear Aliens ?

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 6, 2018:

Sadly true. Intelligent life has left the planet.

I love this group and I refuse to leave now that I have someone in my life! It's been 5 weeks so far...

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 6, 2018:

Nope, once a member, ALWAYS a member. You can check out but you can never leave!

Open the book and learn the story. That lasts.

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 6, 2018:

Perfect!

I Don't Know How This Was Determined - Seems Accurate to Me Lol

I don't follow any horrorscopes.

Wow this is really cool, how many had this kind of dining set growing up?

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 6, 2018:

We had similar, just not that bright!

The burners, and not in the good sense.

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 6, 2018:

Love it!! Thanks for posting!

I was on Thesaurus.

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 6, 2018:

Perfect!

Love is not just...?❤?

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 6, 2018:

Very true, passion fades, duration requires dedication.

If you base your happiness on the off chance that someone else might change, you’re in trouble

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 6, 2018:

I base my happiness on me, and what I can control.

What is your current guess for how long before we are rid of tRump?

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 6, 2018:

NOT soon enough

How many of you ever watch this show?

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 6, 2018:

Only all the time. Romper stomper bomper boo.

It looks like I have at least a part time job for at least 1 year.

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 6, 2018:

Good for you!! Hope this leads to bigger and better things.

Eventually ❤??

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 6, 2018:

I'm tired of waiting, get a freaking move on already!

100% match

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 6, 2018:

Love it!

I remember this all too well. ?

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 6, 2018:

I keep a spray bottle in the sewing room, never can tell when you will need it.

I have a cat that hates me, can you tell. This is Mattie.

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 6, 2018:

Awwww what a sweet baby!! She just wants the best seat in the house!

I never said I was perfect ?

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 6, 2018:

That sounds perfect to me, except the sinner part.

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 6, 2018:

So very very true!

This article got me thinking.

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 6, 2018:

I'm not willing to relocate, and at my age I don't expect anyone to relocate for me. At my age we're settled with families or other ties to the area.

Does anyone else have the defense mechanism of being the happy-go-lucky person so no one can see how...

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 6, 2018:

Of course. If I can't beat the pain down it will overwhelm me.

Is it really so wrong to want to be a priority to someone?

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 6, 2018:

Never! If you're going to be in a romantic relationship you need to make each other a priority.

Can you figure this one out?

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 6, 2018:

Superman!!

Haha, he knows the best people to turn on him. [youtube.com]

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 6, 2018:

Fascinating!

One picture says it all . . .

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 6, 2018:

Love it!! Very apt!

This is how I feel today

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 6, 2018:

I have had a very long string of days just like that. I finally figured out the cure! I essentially quit my job. I am working my case load down til tomorrow!! I'm so excited!

Tell us about your newest relationship.

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 6, 2018:

That would be Zelda and me. She's my youngest cat. Haven't had a new relationship with a human being in...., in...., wow, that long.

Impeachment. Just do it.

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 6, 2018:

LOVE it!! Even before I look at them, LOL!

My colleague recommended a doctor that he likes, so I’m here for my first visit.

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 6, 2018:

Let them know what you think of their choice of stations. Maybe they will change to something less brainless and more entertaining. If enough folks speak up things will change.

Morning! Tomorrow I will be topping off this fairly shtty week by driving to Maryland to meet a...

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 6, 2018:

How exciting! Good luck!

Any of you ladies out there use this growing up?

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 6, 2018:

I have spent many an hour sitting under that.

Good morning! Today's program: getting two teeth pulled and starting the process for a bridge.

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 6, 2018:

Good morning.

What is more important book knowledge or experience?

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 5, 2018:

Yes. Some of each. Read the books and then go try it. I learn by reading but remember better after having experienced it. Sometimes. I remember odd details I read as a kid. Important stuff not so well.

Baby snowflakes.

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 5, 2018:

Im recently seperated after 27 years of marriage. How long before dating again should one wait

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 5, 2018:

First of all, when you feel like it, but understand heart and head are not always in agreement. Second, if you have children at home, don't bring the new person around them until you know it is going to be long term. It is really hard on the kids to have revolving door people in their lives. I ended a marriage after about that same length of time. It isn't easy on anyone.

Evening all!

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 5, 2018:

Almost Friday. I have 16 hours left to work, and I may call myself retired, or on sabbatical.

Judging Trump by his "accomplishments".

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 5, 2018:

When I think of the way her "father" spoke of her, I really wonder... and then I don't go there because it is so gross. But the poor girl never had a chance at being a real person. I wish she'd just STFU. She is just a pawn in his game.

Does anybody read a newspaper anymore?

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 5, 2018:

I will look for the paper if I go out to breakfast, but I no longer read it regularly. I used to have it delivered. I have about a years worth stored in my laundry room. I have a worm box, and every few months I shred a few weeks of papers for fresh bedding for the worm box. The worm castings are a super nutritious soil amendment, better than any commercial fertilizer.

Kiri, on my lap....treat time.

Geezer, Blu, bananas.

Morning all!

Welcome back Snifflz

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 5, 2018:

I work in Short Term Disability claims. I spoke with a claimant from Oregon who has started having epileptic seizures. It was alllll I could do NOT to ask him if he had considered or tried pot for it. I'm sure that would have gotten me fired, even with my last day being Friday.

Morning everyone!

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 5, 2018:

I drink coffee so I don't commit motor vehicle homicide on the way to work. Who taught these people to drive? And put down your damn cell phone, it will wait until you park that car!

Where would we be without it?

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 5, 2018:

I drink coffee so I can stay awake at work and not commit motor vehicle homicide on my way to work. My last day at work is Friday, so next week I will likely be liberated from coffee!!

Back in the day my mom(while she was alive) used to receive food stamps and a cheque and go grocery ...

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 4, 2018:

We never had food stamps, I don't think. But mom didn't drive,and dad had to take her to the grocery store. I think they went on Wednesday night.

Concentrate... say just the color ?

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 4, 2018:

You're mean! And I mean that in the very nicest way. It is too late in the day to "concentrate" :)

Who remembers getting their shoes repaired new heals and new soles .

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 4, 2018:

when I was a kid we did frequently, and shoes got handed down to siblings.

This is just a random post of something that I wonder about.

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 4, 2018:

Personally I think People ARE, and therein lies the issues. I don't think gender has as much to do with it as much as people being people.

I remember kids having them on their shoes at school click clack click clack, it was very noisy and ...

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 4, 2018:

we had them on shoes to save wear and tear, make the shoes last longer.

I'm told that some folks use this for anxiety.

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 4, 2018:

Interesting. One of the cats noticed, but wasn't alarmed enough to check it out. I can't say it helped me, didn't hurt.

Have you ever used pick-up lines?

I never run with scissors. (Actually, those last two words weren’t really necessary.)

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 4, 2018:

LOL, I have some very sharp scissors. They have never even known me to trot.

Ours was yellow ?

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 4, 2018:

We had one, I don't remember what color. I have a whistler now by Rachel Ray, it is blue.

Well, fuck.

I grew up wearing dresses/skirts to school. We couldn't wear slacks until after 1967 or so. Once I started wearing slack/jeans I never looked back. I can't imagine wearing a skirt for rough work, I don't even wear skirts to go to my desk job. Give me jeans anyday.

What is your biggest fear?

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 4, 2018:

I'm not afraid of death, no one can avoid that. I am afraid of suffering or prolonged illness. I'm afraid of an unfunded retirement thanks to the current administration. I'm really afraid of not being able to do what I want when I want and that would cause me to be bored out of my gourd. I'm never bored because I always have a long list of stuff to do, if I can't do them it would be sad.

So as summer starts to draw to a close this pressing question came to mind - Flip flips - yes or no?

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 3, 2018:

I loathe destest and despise flip flops. I don't do the strap between the toes for any shoe, and I want some arch support. I do birks from time to time. I don't wear them to work so I rarely wear them. Working in climate controlled buildings that tend to be on the side of winter, I wear warm clothes even in summer. On weekend its is birks or sneakers. I can't think of the last time I dressed up. Oh wait, a year ago for a wedding, it was coolish.

So what did everyone do for Labor Day?

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 3, 2018:

I did usual weekend stuff, fixed breakfast and lunch for next week (but only for 4 days) did laundry. Normal putzing.

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 3, 2018:

I like Smashburger, they have a varied menu. I liked them better before they changed the menu but what are you going to do, no one consulted me.

This may not make much sense to folks outside of Texas or at least the South.

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 3, 2018:

I found out in my 20s I was multi-orgasmic. Back in the days when we didn't worry about STDs and I was on the pill, probably the smartest thing my 19 year old self ever did. What do you expect when you take a girl from a practically cloistered environment and put her in "This Man's Army" I had some wild years. The first time I was hit on by a girl it took me 3 days to realize what had happened. I often wonder if it wouldn't be better just to find a girlfriend, and then I remember I'm really straight, and that isn't likely going to work well. I'd hate to hurt another person in the process.
