Sarah Silverman talks about ICE. [instagram.com]

HippieChick58 comments on Jun 22, 2018:

She is 101% right. I don't understand how anyone working for ICE can sleep at night. I understand needing a job. But seriously, how much can they pay you to give up your morals, compassion and integrity.

How clean does your house have to be?

Is traveling and being exposed to other people and cultures important and why?

HippieChick58 comments on Jun 22, 2018:

We have a whole nation of people who have never been exposed to people different than they are, and look where it has gotten us. I'm very proud of having lived so many different places. Japan was amazing for a 19 year old wild child that I was. Traveling makes you question your assumptions and learn that "normal" is imaginary.

What would you think if a religious person said they did not believe in magic ?

Today's tomato harvest!

It's 2018 and we're not driving dragons. This future sickens me.

There are lots of fruits and veggies you can grow from the cuttings that we'd ordinarily discard. Celery and onions come to mind real quick. The ultimate of frugality.

Recovering from 2 surgeries.

HippieChick58 comments on Jun 21, 2018:

I had my gall bladder out at an Army hospital in Germany in 1982. Before laparoscopic surgery was possible. I have one long belly zipper. The good news is you can live just fine without it. Hope you have a quick recovery.

Having a bit of a rough night. One of those "what's the point?" nights.

HippieChick58 comments on Jun 21, 2018:

I know those nights, and days. They don't last but they are hell when you're in them. Hang in there. The darkest hour still has only 60 minutes.

This is one of my cats, Luther, and I've had him for about fifteen years.

HippieChick58 comments on Jun 21, 2018:

The trouble with our babies is that they can't tell us how they feel. For me and my kitties quality of life is above quantity of life. Only you can make that judgement. Work with your budget issues for what you can do for him and what gives you peace. I'm sorry you have to be in this position, and sorry your best bud forever is sick. It isn't fair, cats don't live long enough.

HippieChick58 comments on Jun 21, 2018:

I have just been diagnosed with diabetes type 2 and have been advised to cut down on carbohydrates.

HippieChick58 comments on Jun 21, 2018:

Sweet potato, cauliflower. You can cook cauliflower, blend it, add butter/salt/pepper and other flavors as deisred and it is delicious and much like mashed potatoes. To replace rice try any whole grain. I like quinoa. Also, most important of all for DM2, cut out as much sugar as you can. Educate yourself to all the many names of sugar and get them out of your house. Ketchup has a teaspoon of sugar per tablespoon. That is nearly 40% sugar! Best thing for you is read and educate yourself. Nuts are a great snack. And good luck!

HippieChick58 comments on Jun 20, 2018:

I had one kitty for many years, she was blind the last half of her life and I knew she should be an only cat for the rest of her life. She was very bonded to me, my heart cat. She passed in November 2016. In Febr 2017 I got Xena who was about a year old. In January this year I got Zelda who was about 6 months. They don't "like" each other yet, but there is some mutual grooming and plenty of racing up and down stairs, acrobatics, and general amusement. I'm so glad I have two kitties.

I’d rather have a partner make a clean break than be passive-aggressive. Thoughts?

HippieChick58 comments on Jun 20, 2018:

I hate passive aggressive BS. I had a friend who did that which is what moved him totally to the friend zone. Then a few years later he needs help so called on old friends. I helped him out and got the passive aggressive BS again. There is no next time.

Cooking chicken...

HippieChick58 comments on Jun 20, 2018:

When I was a kid we had a Siamese cat; very sweet kitty, very unSiamese temperament. Mom worked in a restaurant, got home after midnight. Put a frozen chicken on the counter to thaw. After she got in bed she heard a loud thunk, then slide, slide, thunk, thunk, thunk, slide. Then she got up to check. The cat had pulled the chicken off the counter, across the kitchen floor, down the steps, over the landing, and was headed down to the basement with it. Mom rescued our Sunday dinner, still in the wrappings, put it back on the counter and put a heavy bowl over it. The kitty yowled at her for several minutes for taking away her midnight snack, then gave it up and came up to me in bed. Great memory.

How do you feel about the smell of a cigar in the morning.

HippieChick58 comments on Jun 19, 2018:

I would agree with almost every poster here. I am reasonably sure that if I put sex as something I'm looking for someone is going to assume I'm cheap and easy, or available for FWB. I want sex in the context of a relationship. I'm hoping to have sex again one day, but I'm willing to wait for the whole package.

Would You Move to Another State?

HippieChick58 comments on Jun 19, 2018:

If my kids all moved with me I'd love to go back to the Seattle/Tacoma/Everett area, we lived there 1994 to 1999. I'd consider Colorado as well, extended family is there and one kid makes frequent trips there anyway. I have lived in Germany as well, I'd consider going back. Or Sweden I've heard great things about.

HippieChick58 comments on Jun 18, 2018:

about 12 years ago I made canvas shopping bags. I use them most shopping trips. 8 years ago I made personal wipes. I quit using toilet paper. I rarely use paper towels, napkins, or plastic bags I use glass for food storage. I make my own soap, toothpaste, deodorant, lip balm. I garden. I use Hydroflasks and almost never use plastic water bottles. I use metal straws. I make and take my own lunch, carry and reuse my own silverware, and usually cook from scratch and mostly vegetarian. I recycle paper and plastic at home, and take glass recycling to Target. I donate my unused stuff to a variety of resale or reuse places. I compost, and I have a worm box in my pantry. I make my own extracts and cleaning solvents. There are lemon peels soaking in vinegar in my pantry now. I'm not sure how long they've been there. And I'm gradually replacing all the light bulbs with LEDs.

That was a short relationship for that and a few other reasons. Then recently I got off all dating sites, just kept encountering the same scammers or just meeting the same guys. Not worth the hassle.
