Do you get visits from missionaries often?

HippieChick58 comments on Apr 14, 2018:

I actually have no idea how often anyone rings my bell. I don't necessarily answer the door if I am not expecting anyone. That and I am out of the house long hours and asleep the other hours.

It is an established fact that my wife does not crave physical intimacy like I do.

HippieChick58 comments on Apr 13, 2018:

I don't see how old you are, and whether you have children. Is she exhausted by the demands of taking care of you and the children? Is there any chance she is angry with you? I agree with the other respondents, ask her!

Has anybody changed careers mid-life?

HippieChick58 comments on Apr 13, 2018:

http://www.askamanager.org/ will have all sorts of advice for you related to careers. The "manager" has been in HR forever and gives great advice. Seriously best blog ever, I read it every day. I started my "grown up" work life at 18, joining the Army. Not a good fit. Then I got married, got out of the Army and followed my ex around. I was a Stay At Home Mom (and logistics organizer). After raising my kids I went to school and got an AA degree in Health Information Management and entered the job market at menopause as the economy was tanking. It's been a wild ride.

Best daily multi-vitamin for a man 65+ or waste of money?

HippieChick58 comments on Apr 12, 2018:

If you eat a healthy diet you won't really need it. If you feel OK, and the doc says all your numbers are OK, then you really don't need them unless you want expensive pee.

I’m just complaining a little bit, lol.

HippieChick58 comments on Apr 12, 2018:

for darn sure!

What, me worry?

HippieChick58 comments on Apr 12, 2018:

For me it isn't quite that simple. It isn't always easy to control my thoughts, they seem to develop a life of their own, especially when the light are out. When I was in a situation of insecurities (financial/job/housing/etc) then the thoughts were very out of control. There is somewhat less insecurity now, but still don't necessarily have a peaceful mind. I have noticed when I use an herbal supplement that I will still have the thoughts, but they don't seem to linger as long and fewer upsetting thoughts hang around and more amusing or benign thoughts pop in for a few moments. You're lucky if you can turn it off.

Who else thinks this?

HippieChick58 comments on Apr 12, 2018:

Oh for darn sure!! The diet food industry would curl up and die. The cosmetic companies would take a hit, not totally but I believe less would be consumed. And plastic surgeons would go out of business all over the place. Many magazines would have a large income drop. How many women's magazines feed on women's insecurities. It is crazy!

Whats your dream date
?

HippieChick58 comments on Apr 12, 2018:

Lately all I get is dream dates, or dates in dreams... It is late. So, dream date. Sharing dreams, sharing food, good conversation. Doesn't matter where or what kind of food. Just enjoying each other's company and some kind of fun activity.

No thank you.

Our Children In Trouble Today?

HippieChick58 comments on Apr 12, 2018:

Much of it is the sugar in our food system. Excessive sugar really screws your body up, but avoiding sugar means home cooking and not from boxes. Who has time for that? It means fresh foods, not highly processed. It means reading labels.

Yup, that about sums it up!

ADVERTISING MY AGE Despite my many years and rapidly advancing decrepitude have forgotten my age ...

HippieChick58 comments on Apr 12, 2018:

I turned 60 in January. I rarely wear makeup, I do not color my hair. I stay well hydrated and don't each much processed food which I'm told is why I have great skin, few wrinkles. I might not look 60 but my knees tell another story. My mom died at 45 and I decided I'd never regret growing older, she never got the chance. I don't know how to act my age, I've never been this age before. I act how I wanna. I don't give a flying f..k for what others might think.

Rough day today.

On the topic of porn- porn stars are paid actors and actresses.

HippieChick58 comments on Apr 12, 2018:

I've read that men are more visual, so just watching the action gets men excited. Women need a story line. Porn does not accurately portray what humans want, it appeals to the lowest basic instincts. Porn doesn't appeal to me, erotica does. My expectation of what sex should be were formed before I knew much about porn or erotica. When I was growing up it was Playboy magazine and despite having brothers I "knew" about it but never saw it. Yes, I'm a dinosaur.

HippieChick58 comments on Apr 11, 2018:

I have to admire her chutzpah in showing a semi nude picture, I wouldn't go that route but whatever floats yer boat. There is a bit of a dichotomy with her saying no explicit messages. Takes all kinds.

OMG! you should have mentioned that to the manager. I worked in the billing office of one of our hospitals. The onboarding training included a video on proper hand hygiene and I was told it is annual training. So one day I noticed a coworker come out of the stall and leave without washing her hands. I avoided taking papers from her after that. Ewwww.

Growing my beard for my Central America trip in 2 weeks.

What are your thoughts on online dating?

HippieChick58 comments on Apr 10, 2018:

I think it puts people into a consumer mentality, like it is a grocery store. The next one might be better than this one. Also all I've encountered lately has been scammers, so I've pretty much dropped out of all of them. It's just not worth the hassle.

Does it matter how a gift is wrapped or is it only the gift that matters?

HippieChick58 comments on Apr 10, 2018:

I so rarely wrap anymore. I buy cheap gift bags, a bit of tissue paper, and let it go. The gift bags are reuseable too.

Should you live for today?

HippieChick58 comments on Apr 10, 2018:

You should enjoy the moment you're in, and live like you will die tomorrow, but there are no guarantees. However, you should prepare for the future tomorrows by socking something away for retirement or a rainy day. Last week I'd have said I'm at peace if I go tomorrow, everyone knows how I feel about them, I am at peace with everyone. Well that didn't last long.

Have you settled on being single?

Dating: what's your ideal age range? How important is age?

HippieChick58 comments on Apr 10, 2018:

I'd actually stretch it out to within 8 years of my own age, maybe further. The older you get the wider the window can be, I think. My kids have "suggested" a potential long term should be closer to my age than to the oldest child's age, so for them as long as he is within 13 years of my age they'll be cool.
