Hey buddies i am new here

HippieChick58 comments on May 29, 2018:

Welcome! Hope you enjoy your tenure with us.

I’ve been binging House Hunters International and Tiny House Hunters today.

HippieChick58 comments on May 29, 2018:

Omaha has a mix of housing styles, not really so much the tiny houses yet. I see the appeal, I don't think it would work for me right now. Omaha has a good housing market and lower cost of living. We do have tornadoes, so tiny houses might be at risk... Most houses have basements, and apartment building are required to have storm shelters.

Just one of those nights when widowhood is kicking my ass all over the place. What to do?

HippieChick58 comments on May 29, 2018:

Beautiful. Cry it out, sister, I will help you cry.

'Roseanne' canceled after star's racist Twitter rant

HippieChick58 comments on May 29, 2018:

I'm glad I checked to see if this was posted before I posted the same story. Never have been a big fan or Roseanne, her show was ok if nothing else was on and I had to watch TV. I think she has turned herself into a racist trollbait for Don the Con, I have less respect for her than ever. Glad to see ABC has the cojones to kick her off the air.

I AM AN 8! The down side is l have nothing to live for anymore.

HippieChick58 comments on May 29, 2018:

The slog for 9 is long and arduous, and the highlight of my day. (Yes. Well unless the kids and/or grandbabies come over, but they have lives.) So just buckle your seatbelt, hold on to the "oh shit" strap, and set compass to endure! You'll be at 8.1 in about 6 weeks. And congratulations!!

I miss this brilliant man:[youtube.com]

HippieChick58 comments on May 29, 2018:

He was a brightly burning star and a lost soul. Still miss him.

What is beautiful to you?

HippieChick58 comments on May 29, 2018:

Tenderness, nurturing, being helpful, observant, tolerance, kindness, patience, curiosity, acceptance, being comfortable in his/her own skin, and self awareness.

I'm not at all sure that I'll meet anyone here.

HippieChick58 comments on May 29, 2018:

I came for the potential of dating, I am staying for the community. Welcome, hope you find what you need.

Good Monday ... eh Tuesday ... morning! Let there be lots of coffee today :P

HippieChick58 comments on May 29, 2018:

First day back after an extended weekend means my phone will have exploded and will ring all freaking day long. And each time it rings I will ask "Oh what fresh hell is this?"

Do you split the bill when you go on a date?

HippieChick58 comments on May 28, 2018:

I am willing to, it's been a while since I've been on a date.

Good morning! Rainy day in the forecast today. Hope all is well where you are!

HippieChick58 comments on May 28, 2018:

I have not had coffee this weekend, but I am in a position to take naps as needed. And I did take naps. Tomorrow morning I will be back to mainlining coffee.

Hi.

HippieChick58 comments on May 28, 2018:

I have been on all the dating sites plus some local in person sites. I'm not slim, and I'm not religious. It didn't go well. I was on a Christian dating site before I fully embraced my lack of faith. Some of those people we're a whole lot extreme and just reading the profiles had my eyes rolling all over the place. I've tried Match and EHarmony (which is really biased towards white and religious). I have dropped off all dating sites in the past few months. There are worse things than being single and I'm not looking anymore. If someone new shows up who trips my trigger I will consider it, but I'm not holding my breath. I'm OK as I am, and OK is good enough for now.

Does anyone here use essential oils?

HippieChick58 comments on May 28, 2018:

Eucalyptus oil is great for fighting a cough and clearing congestion. Rosemary is supposed to help your memory, I'm not sure if it is efficient. Lavender for relaxation. Peppermint for energy. Tea Tree oil for fighting infection. Lemon oil helps boost cleaning power. I used woody scents when I made beard balm for my daughters' partners, they're all bearded. I use peppermint, and lavender most frequently.

Do you keep an active journal?

HippieChick58 comments on May 27, 2018:

I have about 3 journals going right now. One is a grandmother's journal so I can pass on my stories to the babies. I'm just really not good with consistency. No tips, sorry.

HippieChick58 comments on May 27, 2018:

I assume you mean aside from Santa, Easter Bunny, and Tooth Fairy. If you crossed your eyes they'd stay that way. I'm 60, it hasn't happened yet so I'm still waiting. Black cats being bad luck. Walking under a ladder being bad luck. Breaking a mirror being bad luck for 7 years. I remember breaking a mirror in approx 1985, dunno that my luck was any worse for the next 7 years than it ever was.

Does anyone else keep this site open and listen for the notification ding or is that just me?

No, I only have this site on my laptop, and when I am away from the laptop I shut things down. I don't have it on my phone, it would be a huge distraction at work.

Think Jodi Foster could/should run for political office in the U.S. ? Bet she'd win.

What about life motivates you?

HippieChick58 comments on May 27, 2018:

These two little ones are my grandchildren. My heart now walks around outside my body. My purpose in life is to do what I can to make sure they grow up safe and secure. My secondary purpose is to keep my job so I can continue life as it is; pay the bills and health insurance. My final purpose is to create, and get through my stacks of projects before I die. Which means I can't die for about 99 more years. I don't think my retirement savings are going to last that long.

What was the happiest day of your life?

HippieChick58 comments on May 27, 2018:

I hope the happiest day of my life hasn't happened yet, because I can't remember any that stick out in my mind. I'm not saying life has been a drag, I just don't remember anything that was really outstanding that didn't have other crap going on.

So I get dressed up and take myself out on a date which is lonely in and of itself.

HippieChick58 comments on May 27, 2018:

I'm 60 so cut the old lady crap. A year ago February I took myself to Corpus Christie, TX because I always wanted a winter beach vacation. Alone wasn't high on my priorities, but what are ya gonna do. Yeah, it wasn't perfect, but it was a good change from the ordinary. And the best part was my daughter told me how proud she was that I did venture out alone. Next trip is this fall, going to Winnipeg, Canada. A) because I can drive there, and B) because I want to use my passport before it expires.

What a good looking cat. ;) ://m.youtube.com/watch?v=laYWNdOGWOA

I could NOT resist! I had to pick it! It’s in the steamer now :-)

HippieChick58 comments on May 27, 2018:

YUM!

So, the boy cat was on teh kitchen counter the other day.

HippieChick58 comments on May 27, 2018:

When I was a SAHM my cats were better trained. Now that I must work my cats are little sh*ts who run amok even when I'm home.

I had a recent conversation with a friend and wanted to get everyone's opinion on this.

HippieChick58 comments on May 27, 2018:

They are likely given Depo Provera which can cause long term problems. I would not let my kids use it again, however my kids did dodge the problems. Yes, my kids were put on birth control. The chief reason was dysmenorrhea, painful periods. However I did tell my girls if they got pregnant I would not love them less and I would help them with the baby. Their dad, my ex was not on the same sheet of music. There is no such thing as an illegitimate baby, only foolish parents, which is part of the discussion I had with the girls. The grandbabies have all come when the girls were over 25 and in stable relationships, so for that much I think we did good.

What Do You Do When You Are Sad?

HippieChick58 comments on May 27, 2018:

It's gotten to the point where I just hold my hand up, palm out, and tell them there's no need to go...

I used to work 12 hour night shifts about 5 years ago. WalMart in the middle of the night is freaky. The fringes of society shop there, and the staff is bored so will tell you their life story if you stop moving. I stopped using Walmart a couple years after that because of their treatment of employees and not wanting to support the richest family in America who was paying employees starvation wages.

I finally got up about 9 am. I don't need this, I have way too much to do to be sick right now, and Grammy duty tonight for the new baby.
