Too bad it's not jail

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 1, 2021:

Jail is preferred, but I'd settle for 6 feet under.

HippieChick58 replies on Sep 1, 2021:

@CuddyCruiser living to an old age is a privlege. My mom was denied that, she passed at 45. She never got to know her grandchildren. I was concerned at reaching 45, my mom died of ovarian cancer, so I had my ovaries examined annually until I was 50. After 50 I said to hell with it. Now I have lived 18 years beyond my mother's life span. I have children that are established in their relationships and careers, and I have grandchildren. All of that was denied to my mom. Yes, getting old is a privlege. Never forget that. Not everyone gets to live a long life.

@Tourirst This group is the Trump Piñata, we bash Trump. All posts should connect somehow to Donnie Boy. DT = Donald Trump. I am the group owner and moderator, I check to make sure everything runs as it should. Posts that don't fit the purpose of the group can be moved to the poster's profile.

@dalefvictor as I am trying to stay employed until I can retire, and lots of bills to pay off for those months I was unemployed I will not be taking any risks. As much as I'd love to know the outcome, I don't care that much and will follow all the rules. Now IF I am still there in 5 to 7 years, yeah, maybe I'll take the risk :) but not until I have a firm exit strategy.

@Heavykevy1985 Sure you do have a right to disagree with anyone. I am a veteran. I may not agree with what you have to say, I signed up with my blood for your right to say it. I also have the right to disagree and have my personal opinion of you. We will likely never agree, and that's the cross we both must bear. When you put your personal opinions out there you are either looking for a fight or seeking to find others of the same mind. I don't give enough of a damn to fight with you. It just isn't worth the time and you just aren't that important.

HippieChick58 replies on Aug 25, 2021:

@TomMcGiverin I can't say I've noticed that, but I can't say it is wrong. I am thankful to be close to my kids. A childless friend of mine who is older than I am and has some health issues has great concerns for end of life issues. I have one kid that is already "momming" me, though she backs off fast enough when I give her "the look." I enjoy my kids, I created them. They do have their own lives. My kids grew up as military brats, we moved frequently and rarely lived near family. My kids have stayed in the area to give their kids the opportunity to get to know the rest of the family. I love it. I am close enough to help out when needed. And such as it is, I have my own life and my own activities. I think we have a good equilibrium.

HippieChick58 replies on Aug 25, 2021:

@TomMcGiverin I can't speak for other women, I often wonder if I am a breed apart. But for me a man without kids is desirable. I dated one man several years ago who had way too much drama in his life caused by his kids, and his kid's mama. I don't welcome that into my life. I was recently messaged by someone on here with a younger kids. That's a no go for me. My kids are independent adults, I like it that way. As for rejection, that is part and parcel of dating. You have to have really tough skin to deal with online dating.

HippieChick58 replies on Aug 24, 2021:

Out of my three kids, one is not going to have kids. I respect her choice, her dad doesn't. She is the totally favorite Auntie, she is also the one that is doing the most of the taking care of aging parents. She takes her dad to appointments as needed, and during the height of the pandemic was schlepping groceries to me and her dad. I enjoyed that because I saw her at least weekly that way, usually I see her every other week or so. But really, I prefer to get my own groceries, and other purchases. I grew up thinking I'd be a mom one day, and truthfully I enjoy my kids greatly. They are awesome people. And if you can't tell, I love being a grandmother as well. Not everyone thinks like me and I respect that.

KOWTOW.

HippieChick58 replies on Aug 24, 2021:

@Marionville No, because I went to college as an adult. I must have learned in HS, and then I went to Japan (Okinawa) when I was active duty (when I could have been in college, but that is another story.) I have been fascinated by the Japanese culture most of my life, my dad's brother was stationed in Japan during the Korean war and brought home a bride. She was small, but she was a force to be reckoned with.

He said "slashing tires and painting a swastika on their vehicle, scrawling expletive-laced, racist graffiti on their pickup truck, and shooting a bullet into the house weren’t personal attacks." is not an apology of any kind. It is a statement of hate and denial. Those were VERY personal attacks and he is only sorry he got caught and that his freedom will be limited in the near future.

She still hates WM, but she gets her groceries there. Cash back is cash back after all.
