I remember my mom making pickles and canning other vegetables. We gardened then out of necessity, six kids (3 were teenaged boys) and my dad was a brickmason and not infrequently unemployed. We may have been poor but we ate good.

Does anyone else tent camp?

HippieChick58 comments on Jun 16, 2018:

Last time I tent camped I was less than 25 years old and in the Army, and we called it a field exercise. I loathed it, and I have not been in a tent since then. To me, Motel 6 is camping. I like AC, decent beds, locking doors, and no bugs.

HippieChick58 comments on Jun 16, 2018:

I'd rather be told I'm fascinating, insightful, thoughtful, kind, resourceful, something that says he has gotten to know me and not only wants to fuck me but wants to spend time with me fully dressed as well. I don't think I'm hot, or pretty, or beautiful; and those are things I can't control. What I can control is who I am, and if that isn't enough then we're done.

Money seems to be one of the most fought over issues in a marriage, read that somewhere.

HippieChick58 comments on Jun 16, 2018:

Post divorce I had some struggles. I was unemployed for a while, and grossly underemployed and without benefits for a couple of years. (I sold Insurance, I am not a sales person) Some of the divorce details did not get taken care of properly, in fact took me 7 years to get it settled. Now that I've been continually employed for about 8 years and the details were settled, I'm in a good place. In fact, if health insurance wasn't an issue I think I'd consider taking early retirement.

Who is in the wrong here?

HippieChick58 comments on Jun 16, 2018:

If she had not posted pictures yet then you stole her thunder. And she's exhausted and hormonal. If you identified her in the picture then yes, you were in the wrong. These days of stolen identities, stalkers, and weirdos, you can't be too careful, and she might not have been ready to make the announcement yet. Apologize abjectly and then proceed with caution in the future.

Also, when someone on here tells me how I've helped them, that just makes me teary. I like to build people and encourage them. We all need someone in our corner giving us encouragement.

When you stop and think about it, we touch 100s of lives every day and we've been essential in the lives of at least a few. Yeah, job wise I know I'm replaceable, but my personality, my caring has made a difference in many lives. Hell, two grandchildren wouldn't be here if not for me. Think of the old movie "It's a Wonderful Life". You do make a difference.

I had an epiphany today.

HippieChick58 comments on Jun 15, 2018:

That is part of the discussion of "are you a reacher or taker" or who is higher on the attractiveness scale, or in intelligence, or has more of the qualities wanted. All things will never be equal because we're all individuals. You have to find someone who loves you enough that you love enough and your demons play well together and make the committment.

We have some very liberal groups or anti Trump groups. I don't pay much attention to things that don't matter to me (limited time) but I see lots of political posts that are mostly liberal. Then again, that is what I am looking for. I'm told not everyone appreciates me, which is OK. We have opinions to offer on things beside politics, but politics is on the minds of many these days.

HippieChick58 comments on Jun 14, 2018:

HippieChick58 comments on Jun 14, 2018:

I see my ex more often than I'd really like to, one of the kids lives with him because he really needs a keeper. And then there are the holidays and kids like to do "family" gatherings. We are not best friends, we're civil. For someone to be buddy buddy with their ex.... depends on so many factors.

After bit I'm going to go have a sweet alcoholic frozen drink that is in my freezer as an impulse purchase (I did not notice the 42 grams of sugar when I bought it!!! ) And I might have some other relaxing activities, wallow in my misery for a bit, and then hope I sleep good and get up and try again tomorrow. Tomorrow is a new day, maybe a miracle will happen. Probably not, but maybe, hopefully it will be better than today. And hell, tomorrow is Friday, if it goes to hell like today did then at least I have the weekend to recoup.

I took charge of my reproductive options as soon as I could. There was no way in hell I'd have ever had that conversation with my dad and step witch, that would have been a disaster I'd have never recovered from. I joined the Army, and as soon as I was past Basic Training I went to the doctor and got on the pill. I was 19. After I got married I went off the pill and found out how ridiculously fertile I was, but I was also pretty regular and could tell when I ovulated. When I thought it was time for a baby, I got pregnant. I made sure my girls knew how babies were made and how to avoid surprises. There are no illegitimate babies, but lots of unprepared parents.

There is no doubt in my mind that I will retire as soon as I can afford to. Right now I'm working for health insurance. If you have plans for what to do after retirement then go for it. If you'd rather be working, then stay the course.
