[yahoo.com] John McCain to Discontinue Brain Cancer Treatment

HippieChick58 comments on Aug 24, 2018:

Seriously, I think he is making the right decision. I was talking to a lady today (I work in short term disability claims.) She is on chemo for cancer, she was a teacher for over 40 years, no husband no kids. She will be taking chemo for the rest of her life. It is making her sick as hell. Is that how you want to live? I want quality of life. I've already decided and told my kids I will not do chemo. Length of life doesn't matter if you're sick all the time. I hope John McCain goes peacefully. He did his time. I may not agree with him politically, but he deserves his rest.

Hi everybody.

HippieChick58 comments on Aug 24, 2018:

Please, for your kids, for your family, for anyone who loves you, keep fighting. Your children need you. You are their guide, their rock. Please talk to your health care providers. And remember you are never truly alone. As others have said, feeling are not facts. Hang in there.

Ok so what’s everyone doing tonight? I’m home making a low carb version of “spaghetti”.

HippieChick58 comments on Aug 24, 2018:

I got home late, threw a frozen meal in the microwave, decided to bake my brownies tomorrow and hope to get some decent sleep tonight. My allergies are killer! The good news is we've had plenty of rain this summer. The bad news is the plants that I am allergic to have flourished and are spreading their pollens far and wide!

Women (unless you guys have real input), have you ever colored your hair blond?

HippieChick58 comments on Aug 24, 2018:

I am a natural blonde. I have explored all shades of blonde. I am 60 and just starting to get some grays. I have colored previously, after I leaned how toxic the dyes are I gave that up. Now IF I want to enhance my color I use strong teas. Roobios Red tea makes a nice reddish rinse. Doesn't last long, but gentle on your hair, the more often you rinse the longer it stays. Mostly I just let my hair be as it is. My grandmother was prematurely gray at 25, I figure I'm good.

So question of course.

HippieChick58 comments on Aug 24, 2018:

You like to drink, then you drink. If he doesn't like it you need someone else. Please don't change yourself. At 60 we kinda know who we are, and we're perfect. If he does't like who you are, why continue.

Good morning.

HippieChick58 comments on Aug 24, 2018:

Long distance is hard. I'd only meet someone if there is a remote possibility they'd move to where I am. My roots are deep here. However at my age most folks have deep roots, so the odds are slim that I will find someone. I'm not goingto fly to meet someone, so 100 miles or so, we can meet in the middle and it is a pleasant drive for both of us.

Good stuff.. [businessinsider.com]

I keep a stash in my car of baggies filled with a $5, a mylar blanket, a pair of tube sox, lip balm, and individually wrapped cleansing wipes. When I see someone asking for handouts I will hand them a bag. I just realized I have over $100 in cash in my car. It has been in the shop more than twice and it's never been touched.

That is a hard lesson. I met a new coworker today who told me she will remember my name because it is the feminine form of her dad's name. I don't know if that is remotely useful, but the only thing I can say that I didn't know when I got up this morning.

I don't have all that many years left and I'm not wasting time with folks who don't matter. I'm not exciting, or particularly good looking. I'm smart enough for me. I've got too much damn stuff but that is a work in progress. But ME, the heart of me, the real me is not for everyone and I'm fine with that. Limited energy, limited time, and limited give a damns, I'm going to go with making ME happy. And I just decided I need to frame that and put it on my desk at work. Think my manager would mind?

What kind of restaurant are these people going to, and what/how much are they drinking. I haven't spent $40 on a meal in a hugely long time. I figure $102/2 is $51, movie tickets around $10. That is some fancy dinner. And I don't want to go to a movie on a first date. It really kills conversation.

HippieChick58 comments on Aug 21, 2018:

I have lived overseas and all over the US. When I lived in Germany I did some traveling. Right now when I am looking for a destination I am looking for where I haven't been before and where I can go reasonably affordably. I wanted to go to Winnipeg, CA, but I let my passport expire. I need to renew. So instead I will stay in the US. I have not been to New Mexico, so that might be my next trip.
