I loved the Yorkshire Vet series, I read them all at least once. Yes, they're books, wonderfully written and worthy of your time.

HippieChick58 replies on Jun 15, 2021:

@JackPedigo I was not clear enough. The All Creatures series is based on the books by James Herriot, a Yorkshire vet who wrote the book series that started with All Creatures Great and Small. That was first published in 1975. It was based on his two earlier books If Only They Could Talk (1970) and It Shouldn't Happen to a Vet (1972), and was given the same title as the 1972 US compilation volume of these two novels, was released in 1975. The series has 5 books.

HippieChick58 comments on Jun 13, 2021:

It is awesome that they listened to your comments and made the changes. I'm sure they have heard from other customers as well. But way cool that they were responsive. I have altered pockets in pants before, it can be a frustrating process. Women need pockets as much if not more than men do.

HippieChick58 replies on Jun 13, 2021:

@rainmanjr women have always desired and needed pockets. Men decided women shouldn't have ways of hiding what they were carrying in case they decided to carry money and make a get away. And then there are the designers who decided pockets would mess up the lines and make us look lumpy so we didn't deserve them. I'm sorry, f**k that. I want my pockets and I don't give a rip what my lines look like. I'm not here to be visually pleasing to anyone. "make their mate carry things for them..." I seem to be missing a mate, I carry my own damn crap, and did when I had a mate too. So many times in women's apparel pockets have been mostly for show, not for function. I can sew, and I fixed that, damn the designer. I should have gotten a rebate on the price of the slacks. Handbags suck, have you ever seen a crook grab a woman's handbag and make a run for it? I carry my cell phone and my keys on my person when I am out of my home. I don't buy pants that don't have useful pockets, and currently I wear mostly jeans. Even my exercise pants have a pocket for my cell phone.

@TomMcGiverin We rarely discuss Humanism, atheism, or religion. We discuss other ideas, and we solve the problems of the universe. Some of our members are big into comic com, we have a sub group that does a sci fi podcast. We have a subgroup that flies drones. We have book club and we read non fiction usually, and usually supportive of Humanism. We recently read This Blessed Earth about farming in Nebraska. We've read about propaganda, we read Not So Intelligent Design. And sometimes we meet just to hang out together. Yeah, there aren't many singles that I care to get to know more closely, but I'm happy just to hang out. There are always lively conversations.

HippieChick58 replies on Jun 6, 2021:

@The-Krzyz I grew up in Nebraska, I saw Wizard of Oz every year throughout my childhood. We used to stand in the yard and watch tornado activity, only going inside if the rain got crazy. I have lived all over, including Kansas, and now I'm back in Nebraska. Kansas history is more tumultuous than Nebraska's, I don't know it as well but I know a bit of it. Bleeding Kansas and John Brown and all the civil war unrest. I fear for the future for Kansas and Nebraska. Our plains are so dependent upon the Ogallala aquifer which is under attack from potential oil spills due to the pipelines, but also just over use.

And it was also more than 30 years ago. When you're on a dating site you want to look approachable. Most dating sites I've been on gave tips for good pictures. This guy seems like he skipped those.

However, I started a new job this week, so that will help my cash flow, and my health. Too young for Medicare, I need a job to have medical benefits.

HippieChick58 replies on May 13, 2021:

The office never was my social life. My experience is that if you aren't up on current culture you don't have anything to talk with anyone about. I don't watch TV, I don't read celebrity rags. I don't care about current hot groups movies, TV, or the Kardashians, etc. So I was just there to do my job and leave as soon as I could. I did not make coffee, ever. I told them I don't drink it, so I don't have any idea of what it should taste like. If I had to make it, I'd either make it too strong or too weak, Yes, most offices I have been in have had their cliques, and mean girls. I loved WFH, no commute, and no office gossip. I am hoping my next job will be WFH as much as possible.

Yes, this is the wisdom I've heard over the years; when the task seems too big to break it down into chunks. I try to make progress every day on some of the projects, the ones I deem of highest importance. I used to do the same thing when walking at the gym. It was not a long track, but I'd reason I could go 5 more minutes or 5 more laps, and then 5 more, etc. I was looking back to stats from when I belonged to that gym, I got my 10,000 steps most days.

@LiterateHiker I have a sewing room, so when I'm done for the time being I just have to chase cats out and close the door. It is rare that I'm not sewing daily. I have two quilts in progress right now, I don't usually do that. After the second quilt is done I don't have any plans for another large project for a while. That can change on a dime. When you spoke of directional sewing I nodded. When I do the quilting on smaller projects I start from the center and then sew outwards, and on the next row I sew inwards. It keeps things from distorting.
