@JackPedigo I met my ex when we were both active duty Army. We married while we were both assigned in Germany, and then I got out of the service. He was an officer, I was enlisted. In 1993 my ex was assigned to Ft. Lewis for his last active duty assignment. He had been passed over for promotion to LTC 3 times so he was done. We thought we'd stay in WA forever. We lived in Tacoma for a year, he retired and found a job with a software company in Redmond. We moved to Bothell for less than a year, and found our "forever" home between Snohomish and Everett. I think the neighborhood was called Gold Creek. We were far from all family and things were not going well in our marriage, we moved to Kansas City in 1999. He was hired for the Y2K programming crisis avoidance at Sprint. In 2005 Sprint outsourced their IT department, and he found a job in Omaha. I am a Nebraska native and have family not terribly far away so for me it was not a bad move, except I never expected to be back in Nebraska. We split in 2010. All the kids have settled in the greater Omaha area.

@JackPedigo YES, excellent. I regret leaving Washington State so much of the time. I'm closer to my family out here, but this is such as bassackwards state. I have one child who has chosen not to have children, and her partner is in total agreement with that. She is the favorite auntie, but damn glad to send them home to their parents. Her dad, the conservative arse that he is, has diminished her portion of the inheritance she will get from him. He is "disappointed" in her life choices. She is also the one that provides him with the most support, has delivered nearly all of his groceries during the pandemic and taken him to most of his medical appointments. If she had small children she wouldn't have been able to give him the care he needed. She has a child, it's him. Of course he doesn't see it that way. A large part of the reason she doesn't want kids is all that you mentioned and just not wanting to deal with the politics of pregnancy.

HippieChick58 replies on Apr 9, 2021:
My dad and brothers were hunters, and my dad reloaded shotgun shells. I was around firearms all my life. I have had military service, I have handled automatic weapons and a few bigger than that. That said, as a civilian and a parent I did not want weapons in my home. I have not handled any firearms in over 30 years. I think anyone should be allowed to privately own weapons as long as 1: they are insured with liability insurance. 2: They have had training, they are licensed and are bonded. 3: The weapons and ammunition are stored in a locked container. 4: The weapons also have trigger locks. 5: The weapons are registered with state and local authorities. For the most part I want weapons treated like vehicles. Get insurance involved, you will see the rash of crimes with weapons decrease in short order.

How Men Treat Women They Find Unfuckable
BitFlipper comments on Apr 8, 2021:
The last article I read here was about a woman who complained that a man was attracted to her voice. Let's be honest here - women don't want to be approached by men who aren't studly. I don't talk to women I don't already know because they freak out!
HippieChick58 replies on Apr 8, 2021:
I don't go for the studly men. I go for the men with big vocabularies. Yes, I like nerds. Studly guys generally like team sports on TV, which I loathe. Studly guys tend to like cars, I like cars that get me from point A to point B without any trouble but I don't rhapsodize about it. Of course nerdly guys tend to get into Star Wars, or Star Trek, or Comic Com, or other odd stuff. However, I still will go brains over brawn any day.

HippieChick58 replies on Apr 8, 2021:
I think the author used the term because it is in the vernacular of most younger people. I agree it is a vulgar and common term. I also agree the author may have some anger issues, however I think if you really listen to women we ALL have some anger issues. Likely all people do, but the current climate is skewed to white males, and those of us not white and male are kinda tired of the short end of the stick.

HippieChick58 replies on Mar 30, 2021:
I would say the more recent lack of attendance is due to the pandemic, but the drop in church attendance has been building for many years. I remember discussing it when I was an active church member. We used to discuss the CE members as well, those who only showed up on Christmas and Easter. Part of it is kids in too many activities and both parents working, who has time to sit in church. The other part is who really believes this crapola. Mostly church was social networking before FB and other online platforms.

@273kelvin I don't even watch Jennifer Anniston, although I have watched every episode of FRIENDS. I only see Disney when the grands are over. I don't have cable TV, so I don't watch much TV at all. Recently I've been watching old TV shows that I get on DVD from the local library. While I watch TV I am also crocheting or knitting. I can't crochet or knit and read a book, and I dislike audio books because I zone out. I am currently working on a blanket for my grandson that needs to be done before next winter. It will be 66 X 90 inches when done. There is lots of work to be completed, so I am watching lots of old TV or sometimes movies. But no horror, no violence. I am not into sci fi, so no Dr. Who. I have watched Bridgerton on Netflix, it is a Regency era romance type of series, I am vaguely amused by the plot lines, but I love the period clothing. I used to read Regency Romances for many years and then I OD'd on them. I will watch documentaries sometimes. Never Hitchcock. Truthfully I'd much rather read, I just finished Obama's new bio, and a book called CASTE that was the Oprah book club pick about the caste system in the US and India, and Nazi Germany. Good book. I am going to pass on Dr. Who for the time being. Too much else on my plate. I will keep your offer in mind if I do decide to watch.

I have heard something about salting a birds tail?
HippieChick58 replies on Mar 18, 2021:
If I remember right they can't fly if you salt their tail. And I love Google: Salting a bird's tail is a legendary superstition of Europe and America, and an English language idiom. The superstition is that sprinkling salt on a bird's tail will render the bird temporarily unable to fly, enabling its capture. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salting_a_bird%27s_tail#:~:text=Salting%20a%20bird's%20tail%20is,to%20fly%2C%20enabling%20its%20capture.

If they are missing I shake their cat treats can and whisper for them, they usually come running, unless they have decided to be aloof.

I don't necessarily think so. I'm pretty sure if one of my grands passed on it would devastate me. That would be out of the natural order of things, and not even to be considered. It scared the hell out of me that my newest grand was a preemie and had to spend many days in the NICU and I couldn't visit due to COVID. Losing any of them, or my kids, is just not imaginable.

HippieChick58 replies on Mar 11, 2021:
@JackPedigo I am a quilter and sewer, so I do lots of ironing. However, completed clothing is a PITA to iron. I'd rather pass when I can, I have very few items in my wardrobe that need to be pressed, and I never do sheets. I live alone, so anything that gets done is mostly done by me, except for the yard work. I have a mowing team that comes during the growing season. My yard has a killer slope. And some things my kids don't want to me to do, some things my son in law helps with, he cleans my gutters when needed. I'm actually pretty impressed with myself about the number of things I've managed to do by myself.

@JackPedigo The red in with whites was a situation used in the TV series Frasier. Daphne the live in health aide found someone had moved her laundry in the community laundry room, so she put a pair of red undies in that washer load. The last scene of that episode was a neighbor dressed for tennis in a very pink shirt.

@JackPedigo I don't let anyone else do my laundry, I'm weird that way. I hang things up as soon as they come out of the dryer. I hate ironing. My jeans don't go in the dryer. I just like doing things my way. I'd rather do laundry than vacuum. I have a Robovac, so it works well.

BitFlipper comments on Mar 11, 2021:
My question is this: if men are supposed to wash dishes, why can't we have a sink that's not down between our waist and our knees? Sinks should adjustable height. I do my own dishes, and it's a literal pain in the back.
HippieChick58 replies on Mar 11, 2021:
You must be taller than average. The problem is most kitchens are built for "average" people. I'm not average height, I don't know many who really are. I'm considering a stool in the kitchen, except I'd likely trip over it and break my neck. As for washing dishes, I fully believe that is what a dishwasher is for. I prefer not to hand wash, and only hand wash a very few things that cannot go in the dishwasher, and then only use those items or wash those items reluctantly.
