AGING GRACEFULLY How we connect with romantic partners changes as we age
HippieChick58 comments on Mar 9, 2018:
I'd feel better if I were connecting with real people instead of scammers. Right now I think I'm at 5 scammers for every real person.
Which one of your teenage years was the best?
HippieChick58 comments on Mar 9, 2018:
My teenaged years were generally horrible. I had a step witch from age 14, she had a gestapo mindset. She bullied my dad, his greatest mistake ever was remarrying 6 months after my mom died. I could not go anyplace besides work, church, and school without her permission, and she wanted to control my paycheck. My dad did put his foot down then. She would not let me get a driver's license. It was like she sucked all the joy out of life. She was just a mean, unhappy woman,. I joined the Army at 18 to get out of her house. My sisters were sent off or rescued to live with other relatives and my brothers were out of the house. Basic Training was better than her house.
How irrational is society's pretense that many things like masturbation, menstruation and coitus ...
HippieChick58 comments on Mar 9, 2018:
When my girls were age 7 I probably had not talked to them about menstruation. But then again, I talked and still talk about anything and everything so they might have had a clue. But "the talk" no. I did have tampons and pads around, and they'd snoop in my bathroom often enough. Hmmmm, I might ask my girls about this next time we're together. The youngest had to have had a clue, given when she was 7 her older sister was 14. You are right that we don't talk openly about menstruation, however, we also don't talk about urine or feces either. Everyone knows we do it, it just isn't discussed. Same as for masturbation and/or coitus, I assume everyone does and it's no big deal to me either way.
Resist!...

Tips for moving out of state
HippieChick58 comments on Mar 8, 2018:
I have moved 23 times in my life, 21 of the moves as an adult. Unless your move is paid for by someone else, you have to make some choices. Take only the stuff you cannot replace or absolutely need. If you can drive there, keep the car. To make friend check out meet up groups. For a job, start looking now, start polishing the resume now. Read Askamanager.org for resume and job search advice. As to what you should know, you have local area experts that you're moving in with, ask them. Have fun! It is a new adventure.
What do you do for a living?
HippieChick58 comments on Mar 8, 2018:
I am a claims examiner for Short Term Disability. The fun part is when I say I work STD claims I get funny looks. So I deal with people who have had a close encounter with the medical profession and now I get to tell them whether or not they can get 60% or so of their basic weekly income. I have a guy on disability now how had a chain saw kick back and he took a good gash out of his foot. I've had a few claimants pass on. The worst part of the job is writing denial letters, although sometimes I get some satisfaction out of it. Sometimes it is talking to the claimants, people can be so rude. I told a woman this week if she continued to talk over me I'd hang up. I'm responsible for about 100 active claims, so we're busy! I don't touch every claim every day, but some days my phone does not stop ringing.

How are you handling your Facebook page?
HippieChick58 comments on Mar 8, 2018:
I don't do anything differently on FB. I post what I like and let the chips fall where they may. I lost a few "friends" over my political postings, I have no idea if I have lost any over religion. I am friends with only one coworker, and a few former coworkers and lots of family. I'd say my political postings are drawing the most ire. I have a cousin's son who is a republifuck gun lover, we clash on occasion. I either delete his comments or ignore. The family either ignores me or agrees with me. I yam what I yam and don't give a damn what anyone thinks.
Two recent experiences reminds me of what we always know but easily forget.
HippieChick58 comments on Mar 8, 2018:
My mom died at 45 of ovarian cancer. I have considered anything past 45 to be an unexpected gift. My double cousin died at 59 of glioblastoma. She was 5 years older than I was. (double cousin: her mom and my mom were sisters, her dad and my dad were brothers) Another two first cousins have passed before age 60. And then I work in Short Term disability claims. One of my claimants is out not working due to grief. Her life partner was a pedestrian hit by a car, he was in his early 30s, lingered for 6 weeks in the ICU. If you knew today would be your last day, what would you do differently? How do you know today won't be your last day? Live every day like your last.

How much sleep do you get?
HippieChick58 comments on Mar 7, 2018:
I push the envelope way too often between this site, FB, my books, crafts, and kitties. I was doing good for a while, but then this site became my addiction. And then there is my insomnia. Once in a while I will get 8 hours or more. Ain't gonna happen tonight. Ah heck, I can sleep when I'm dead, which may be sooner than later....

My Philosophy about life is that we should be journey oriented and not goal oriented.
HippieChick58 comments on Mar 7, 2018:
It helps that I'v never really had a "goal" aside from making sure my kids grew up to be reasonably efficient and productive adults. That goal was exceeded. Now I'm just trying to hang aound with style, panache, and grace until I can retire. Or trying to not get fired until I can retire so I can keep health benefits. Whichever works. I've never had a good answer to the "where do you see yourself in X years" question. Life take too many twists and turns. There's still too much I don't know, and my damn crystal ball cracked before I got it out of the box.

I have two 4X4 raised beds, and pots on my deck. I have grown lots of tomatoes. I grow a varieety of herbs, and other vegetables as it strikes my fancy. We'll see what gets planted after I hit the garden centers.
Wondering?
HippieChick58 comments on Mar 6, 2018:
I want a man to share responsibility for taking care of what needs to be taken care of, and I have really relaxed standards. I shouldn't have to be the traffic cop or the director. It isn't rocket science that when the dishwasher is full it should be run, and when the dishes are clean they should be put away. When you make a mess clean it up. And if you do something around the home, do you need a standing ovation? Do you want to get a woman excited? Listen to her not to answer but to understand, treat her with respect, put her needs equal to your own.

Are vitamins good for you? How do you know?
HippieChick58 comments on Mar 5, 2018:
Sometimes they just give you expensive pee, but if you have a deficiency or don't eat well, vitamins might be necessary. I don't get much sunlight, and I've been Vitamin D deficient before. So I take a Vit D supplement becasue seriously the effects of that deficiency did not help my life at all. I take a B vitamin supplement, it helps with mood. I take a few others. Maybe I take too many, but I'm finally in a better place healthwise and I'm going to be really careful about changing things.

Please read the blog AskAManager.org. She is an HR person who answers questions like yours. You can even email her and she will give you advice. She talks about office culture and politics, do you fit your job, good management, cover letters, resumes, interviewing. Also consider talking to your manager. S/he needs to know you are struggling. Maybe s/he will have suggestions of how to do it better. I have struggled with my job, though not nearly as high level as yours. My manager has been awesome at getting extra training for me. My company has a great culture, great managers, lots of coaching.

Have you ever been on a strict diet?
HippieChick58 comments on Mar 4, 2018:
I have been on several very strict diets; liquid fasting and Atkins. I will not do it again. I do best when I reduce sugars and eat less meat, more veggies and drink lots of water. Problem being I'm a stress eater, my job is uber stressful and the office is full of chocolate and other goodies. They do feed us well, just not healthy.
Would You keep dating someone who felt it was necessary to keep you a secret from their kids?
HippieChick58 comments on Mar 4, 2018:
How long has it been and how old are the kids? If the kids are elementary aged I wouldn't be in a hurry to introduce anyone to them until I was pretty sure it was going to be long term. My kids are adults and I'd probably introduce a steady guy after a couple of months. Also, how long has she been divorced from the father of the children? It the home life pretty stable for the kids? Genders of the kids? Seriously, I respect a woman who puts her kids first, she's a good mom. And when she does introduce you to the kids it means you've made the cut, honor that. For moms, our kids are our biggest area of vulnerability. I will protect my kids with my life if I need to.

Addicts. Let me ask you guys about addicts. Drug addicts in particular. How do you view them?
HippieChick58 comments on Mar 4, 2018:
I have read that there is pain behind addiction. If you treat the pain you stand a better chance of curing the addiction. What I do know is other countries are much better at treating substance abuse than the US is, but what else is new. What I also know is addiction is a disease, it is not a judgement of anyone's self control or worth. It is in my mind a type of cancer that is damn hard to cure because relapses are like a metastasize of the disease. It is a disease that causes people to break laws from time to time, but it does not make them criminals

What's better: renting or owning a home?
HippieChick58 comments on Mar 3, 2018:
I chose ownership, but it isn't always a picnic. I had to put in a new AC in July 2016 and probably didn't make the best decision. And now my roof is leaking. My Son In Law is in construction and when the new roof was put on his dad was my contractor. Dad later decamped and left SIL with a mess. But SIL took a look at the roof today and can't figure out why it is leaking. On the other hand the mortgage is less than renting similar space or an apartment. I have an attached garage. I have a garden. I don't have people coming in while I am gone and leaving my door unlocked. I don't have sumo wrestling or smokers upstairs. My SIL is good about doing repairs for me. I've painted it the way I want it done. If I put holes in the walls it is my business. In the long run, ownership is better for me. I have space to do what I want to do. I'm thinking as I get closer to retirement I might downsize, not sure, but I have a few years.

I keep hearing that praying is a wonderful thing.
HippieChick58 comments on Mar 3, 2018:
I remember being told that prayer doens't necessarily change things, but that prayer changes you. And I quickly disproved that be praying that god would change my heart and make me content with my now ex husband. Never let it be said I didn't try. I've also heard that prayer is not unlike mediatation which is very healthy and relaxing. I just skip the prayer part and go directly to meditation. And I'm pretty sure those blathering about thoughts and prayers are neihter thinking or praying. I'm positive they're not thinking, I don't care if they are praying.

HippieChick58 comments on Mar 3, 2018:
I've always felt like you should live as if it were your last day, because how do you know it won't be? There are no gurarantees. If I die today I have no unfinished business of any real consequence. Those that are important to me know I love them. My manager is goign to miss me, as will the team because we're short handed as it is. I just hope someone misses me in time for the kids to come in a rescue the kitties. So, no, I don't want to know when I am going to die. Whenever it comes, I'm as ready as I'm going to be.

When I was MOB (mother of the bride) I went to church, I even read scripture. I let them know that I will not have them tell me they are praying for me or otherwise trying to convert me.
Just some photos I have made.

My second marriage ended because he was only contributing financially, he did not give emotional support, or companionship, and was happy to abdicate most of the parenting. Our kids thought we should have divorced years earlier.
"Never ask a woman her age" and other stupid rules. Who comes up with this nonsense?

Some women get uptight about their age. Not me, I freakin feel every year and I own it proudly. Of course my view is skewed a tad, my mom died at 45, and I am thrilled to have lived past that. Now the rule of not asking a woman if she is pregnant unless you are seeing the baby exit her body is a good rule. Trust me on that one. Stupid gender rules that annoy me. 1. Boys will be boys. No, any child will act like a little shit if they have not been raised right. 2. Men/boys should not show emotion. That is so hugely unhealthy for so many young men. 3. Men should man up or grow a pair. That goes with above. And really you want tough. Balls are delicate and tender. A vagina can take a pounding AND push a baby out. How totally tough and awesome is that! 4. Here is a tough one, insults to women are that they are bitches, witches, frigid, ugly, etc. Insults to men is that they are a son of a bitch which insults his mother, or that he is a bastard which again insults his mother. 5. That my clothing could 'distract' a male or makes a man want to rape/hurt me. Seriously, No. Again, we need to teach men/boys better. 6. I was told to dumb down to attract a boyfriend. I could go on but I do have a life, or want to pretend so anyway.
"Oh my god!", "go to hell!", "Jesus Christ!", "soulmate" and other phrases featuring religious ...

I try to keep my language pretty clean because I am on the phone a good deal of the day and don't need anyone tattling to my manager about my potty mouth. And I have a granddaughter that will start talking soon. I use Jeebus Christopher and OMG frequently. I haven't told anyone to go to hell in many years and my response when told to go there is that I've already been there and got kicked out. I can be creative, succinct, and close to rude without being vulgar. I like to be creative rather than vulgar. I am not sure soul is an entirely religous construct. From Wikipedia: Greek philosophers, such as Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, understood that the soul must have a logical faculty, the exercise of which was the most divine of human actions. At his defense trial, Socrates even summarized his teaching as nothing other than an exhortation for his fellow Athenians to excel in matters of the psyche since all bodily goods are dependent on such excellence. Would you prefer psychemate? With my luck I'll find a psychomate and we will be infamous.
That’s the problem with indoctrination—the whole point of .

January 13, 2021 My newest and smallest grandchild. She arrived 5 weeks early and is now 2.5 weeks old and is less than 7 pounds. I've never held such a small baby before. She is quite perfect and very amazing. I love being a Grammy.
