IOW, 12 people who have no life.

Update on the Garden, Getting the rain now, so the plants should be ok for a while, I did pick green...

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 20, 2018:

I love green beans, we used to grow a crap ton when I was a kid. I remember sitting by the garden and snapping them prior to taking them in for cooking.

Hi, everyone.

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 20, 2018:

Love, love, love the meme. I didn't like DT as a business man, reality TV star, or semi celebrity. I absolutely detest him as whatever the hell he is now. He is not presidential. He is a travesty of justice.

Nala is doing fine as you can see from this photo.

Poor sweet girlie. She will be back to her old self in couple of days, and the hair will be back in a few months. Good on you for caring for her and doing what is best. And "bad vet" to the vet that botched it the first time.

found all of these in one FB post and comments

What is the most inane thing you had to learn in high school?

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 20, 2018:

I can't think of anything I had in HS that I have not used in life. Even algebra, I have solved for X in real life. I hated typing classes, and look at me now. I am a quilter, so I use geometry all the time. I hated PE, because of the uniforms and mean girls, but we also learned how to bowl, riflery and archery. But then, I went to school in the 70s, when education was real.

What was your favorite subject in High School?

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 19, 2018:

English. I love to read and write.

How accurate are the % to questions and the chance of meeting others close to your %?

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 19, 2018:

I don't put too much stock in it. There is such a limited pool of members from my area, if one is willing to meet I'm going to meet just to see what happens. Being unwilling to move if there is a 99% match somewhere in Maine that isn't going to help me.

How do you answer the door to a bible thumper trying to convert you?

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 19, 2018:

I don't answer the door. If I am not expecting someone I'm not very likely to answer. No one that knows me is going to show up without letting me know. Those that might show up without notice have the code to the garage door. I get a lot of pest control people, realtors, replacement window people, kids selling school crap, magazine sales people, and Satellite TV sales people. I don't want to talk to them or buy their crap.

Are there any books about intimacy / relationships that had an impact on you? If so, please share.

What is your Mantra?

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 19, 2018:

The Mantra of Motherhood: This too shall pass, I've used it for over 30 years. My other mantra is: Everything will be OK in the end. If it isn't OK, it isn't the end. And when I make phone calls for my job my mantra is: please go to voice mail.

Who are some famous people you wish would just go away?

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 19, 2018:

Jim Bakker and Tami Faye, or whoever Tami Faye's replacement was. Joel Osteen. All of the children of Billy Graham, especially his daughter Anne Graham Lotz. Definitely any Kardashian. I haven't figured out why they're famous. Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Ted Cruz, Paul Ryan, DT of course. McConnell, Huckabee Sr.

After discussions and comments with several of our Agnostic.

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 19, 2018:

First of all, 6 years in the Army. I have taken classes from time to time since then, one class was targeted to moms with small children as I was at the time. When my middle daughter was headed for college we took a self defense class, she is her mother's daughter and her mouth can/did get her in trouble. Also, I read the best book ever, "The Gift of Fear" by Gavin DeBecker, he has such good advice including listening to your gut. Great read.

What is the most unusual pet you have had? Mine was an earthworm named Squiggly.

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 19, 2018:

I have a pet rock!! I won it from a radio station when I was in HS. That pet rock has traveled some miles. Geebus, I graduated in 1976 and I still have it. Don't do the math, it will make your brain burn and make me cry.

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 19, 2018:

Fer sure! To me it is slavery to link employment with health care benefits. If I lose my job I'm screwed. I could take off for a few months, but paying for private health care will bankrupt you.

A French woman just asked for my number after I asked for a clarification about her bio.

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 19, 2018:

Offer to connect via email first. I don't give my phone number out til I'm sure it is somebody I won't have to block.

I think. Therefore, I'm single.

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 19, 2018:

Wow, @Duke, a not funny posting. I do have to agree. If I didn't think I'd still be married. That is the most frightening thought of this whole messed up day. It is more frightening than the cost to keep my car running. Jeebus, I need a drink.

I wrote this as a comment on another post in this group and though it was a good enough to be a post...

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 19, 2018:

If I am not worthy of a relationship in the mind of the guy, then there will be no meeting of the flesh, no bumping uglies. I am not good with casual sex, I know this about myself no judgement intended for anyone who is. I can't/won't settle.

This was sent to me by a FB friend.

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 19, 2018:

I have seen this on FB. I have lost FB "friends" over Drumpf. They weren't real friends. My real friends either shut the hell up or hate Drumpf as much as I do. I didn't like Don the Con as a reality TV host, Ioathe, dislike, abhor, and generally detest the man. I have never felt so out of step with my country as I do now.

I needed to put this down.

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 19, 2018:

I am so sorry for your loss. Some people just are so damaged that they can't make it in this world. You tried, but Brian was too far gone when you got to him. Grieve as you must, but know that it was Brian's choice and you did what you could.

Just had to share this.

Marriage or Domestic Partners?

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 18, 2018:

I will never remarry because there would be negative financial repercussions. Why marry and lose money when I can shack up and keep all my benefits and have the benefit of having a partner. Not like we're going to make babies, even then it wouldn't matter. There is no stigma to unmarried parents anymore, and the fur babies don't give a darn.

I feel so pretty now!

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 18, 2018:

I was abused, and I was able to move on. Sometimes I feel the inner child crying, but I have learned to heal her. Having daughters was a great help, when the oldest got to the age was that the worst of the abuse happened I realized it wasn't my fault. Also living far away from my abusers helped, and limited contact and never alone with them when I did have to see them.

CONGRATULATIONS @MissKathleen, for reaching Level 8!

Always been an advocate to alternative medicine.

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 18, 2018:

I use tincture of ginger for heartburn. It works for me. I have chopped ginger in vodka in my pantry now. When I need to use it I will drain the ginger out. I used oil of cloves to numb a sore tooth so I could sleep. I got 5 hours sleep and a root canal the next day. Alternative medicine is simply what our foremothers used when they didn't have access to doctors. Might not be as potent as pharmaceuticals, but they're as safe if not safer, gentler, and cheaper. Just because it is old fashioned doesn't mean it doesn't work.

WHAT'S YOUR POSITION ON ABORTION ?

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 18, 2018:

My position on abortion is my body my choice. My first pregnancy was ended by abortion because the fetus had neural tube defects that were not compatible with life outside the womb and may have been threatening to my life. Yes I wanted a baby and I was heartbroken to end the pregnancy. And because I was so far along I had to go through labor and deliver that baby. When the baby was born there were more defects than they realized. The baby had anencephaly, spina bifida, front line didn't close, cleft lip and cleft palate. 20 years later the father of my children told those children he believed we made a mistake ending that pregnancy. WTF. Which is why we are no longer married. He was at the delivery, he saw the baby. I consider that a betrayal.
