What was hardest?

HippieChick58 comments on Feb 16, 2018:

Mine was gradual and since I moved so frequently I did not have a church community or friends in the church. My birth family was not especially religious and there aren't many of them that I am close to, and the ones I am close to were really kinda relieved. Two of my three kids are atheist, and the third I think goes to church to keep daddy happy and it is her social outlet. She sings in the choir and plays piano.

Please do yourself a favor and go watch this! [youtube.com]

I am cheap, cheap, cheap, or frugal, depends on how you spin it. And not really fond of going to a theater alone. I will likely wait til it is on Netflix or Amazon Prime.

My daughters, one granddaughter, and one grandchild still incubating. Ah, and the kitty girls who amuse me every day. (and 5 grand kitties and one grand dog) To me it is not the most important day of the year, it's just a day for retailers to try to sell you stuff you don't need on, and/or fill it with unmet expectations. There is no lover in my life, and I'm OK with that because I won't settle for just anyone.

Should agnostic fat people date?

HippieChick58 comments on Feb 13, 2018:

Why does body size have any consideration to whether or not to date? You are first and foremost a person. I am a larger person as well, I have dated some. It gets harder as you get older. I struggle to understand where your question comes from, I know there are so many issues with body size and fat shaming is a thing. The best advice I have for you is first be the best you that you can be. You are wonderful and worthy just the way you are. Be happy with you, and whether or not you find a partner you will still be happy. If I overstepped my boundaries I appologize, I am a woman of size and a mom and your question apparently hit some of my Mama Bear buttons.

Do you find it attractive dating someone who smokes cigarettes?

HippieChick58 comments on Feb 13, 2018:

I spent 6+ years in the Army and smoked about a pack (yes, one) in all those 6 years trying to figure out what the attraction was. Cigarettes just annoyed the heck out of my already aggravated allergies. I have dated one smoker, and probably will never do that again. My ex was a non smoker and even more anti smoking than I was. One of our kids, in her rebellious phase started smoking, and hot boxing. She got in trouble at school and got expelled for the rest of the semester. I was a stay at home mom at the time. Her punishment was worse than death. She had to quit smoking cold turkey and was grounded until she got back in school. She had to spend nearly every waking moment with ME!. She never smoked again. We nearly killed each other, but today she is an amazing responsible young adult.

HippieChick58 comments on Feb 11, 2018:

acknowledgement is good as long as it is polite. On other sites I've politely explained I'm not looking for long distance or whatever reason (usually distance) and I've gotten push back. This makes me think they could be a scammer, and that if they aren't listening to me now they aren't going to listen in the future, so I block them.

Do you think, poor uneducated homeless people deserve protection their human dignity?

HippieChick58 comments on Feb 11, 2018:

I think the homeless are generally poor, not necessarily under educated. Circumstances of downward mobility vary, however in the richest country in the world there is no excuse to have people living on the streets.There are too many other options for housing and care. Among the homeless population there is a great deal of untreated mental illness which needs to be addressed. But all people deserve to be treated with dignity and compassion.
