I have a friend that I "met" when I was first single. We've never met in person, talked on the phone, messaged, and FB friends now. We're politically aligned. He claims to be xian. We met when we both needed support and did good for the distance. He had a major heart issues, and he's changed jobs a few times, and moved a few times. He's also a damn hound dog. He's been through 3 relationships since I've known him. He thinks his little man is the be all and end all, and regularly sends dick pics. He just doesn't get it that it does nothing for me and I delete it as soon as I can. Luckily for my peace of mind I see/talk with him much less often now because I go to bed early and he's busy with the recent temporary love of his life. Sometimes I wish I could just shake him.

I guess everybody needs a little loving, even Mr. Bean.

HippieChick58 comments on Jun 2, 2018:

I am reminded of a holocaust story that a Catholic priest would baptize jews and give them baptism papers dated before the war started with which they could leave the country for someplace safer. Many Jews had quite a dilemma with that. As the heroine of the movie put it, I could swim in a vat of holy water and it wouldn't make me any less Jewish. So the initial act won't make you a believer, however, what will come after? This comes down to asking your gut. Does it feel right to you? Is she asking you to compromise who you are? Make sure you're talking about how the children will be raised, how the holidays will be celebrated. Do you have any resentment about this request of hers? This can and will affect more than just your life.

Well said!!

Are you cheating if you are open to your partner about your other relationship(s)?

HippieChick58 comments on Jun 1, 2018:

Unless your partner approves of an open relationship then anything that violates the relationship is cheating. I think too often no one discusses it, we each have our idea of what the relationship is and we feel violated because we are following the rules we think are in place while our partner is operating under a different set of rules.

Empty nest

HippieChick58 comments on Jun 1, 2018:

For my kids it was "can I help you pack?." My kids were ready, I was ready. I love my kids, they are interesting and good people. I was really ready to see them take that step and I really didn't dread it. Partly because I had my own stuff going on with my marriage. Maybe it has something to do with not having a mother after I was 15, and my step mother made sure I knew she was ready for me to go. I saw their leaving as part of the journey that has to be taken. It's exciting, lets see what next adventure is coming!

Why do certain dates stick in my head?

HippieChick58 comments on Jun 1, 2018:

That was a rather significant date in your history, and being the first of the month. That was the day that set up the rest of your life, so makes sense to remember it.

"I don't like drama" or "drama free" means I will put you down, gaslight you, cause you grief and accuse you of being a drama queen while I waltz away looking for the next victim. "little or no baggage" means I need help carrying mine, there is no room for yours.

The most chilling four words in a relationship: "We need to talk."

HippieChick58 comments on May 31, 2018:

Way back when, I read or heard that it was healthy for a relationship to leave 3 things unsaid each day. Far too frequently the ex would point out to me that something I told him could have been one of my three :( . In retrospect that was the worst advice ever. But not discussing issues we drifted apart, and though we tried counseling we were too far entrenched to right the wrong. Maybe let little things go like how the toilet paper is replaced. Hey, the tp is there, if it matters to you it takes 15 seconds to switch it around. The dishwasher is loaded, maybe not to my liking but it is loaded, so you run an extra load per week or so The big stuff needed to be addressed and it never got the attention it needed. So don't be afraid of having tough conversations. How much is that relationship worth to you?

I love Mueller.

The thing is, you don't find yourself because you aren't lost. You create yourself. Every day, who are you going to be that is better than who you were yesterday. Every day. And then you will find who you are meant to be.

What is the dumbest way you’ve been injured?

HippieChick58 comments on May 31, 2018:

No alcohol involved, I was in 3rd grade, riding my brother's bike which was too big for me. A neighbor boy on a bike hit my rear tire on the L side and pushed me and the bike over. I ended up with chipped bone in my foot. BUT, it took me out of school. 1967 was Nebraska's centennial, we were having special activities at school, mom had made a pioneer skirt for me, it was fabulous. I never got to wear it :(

Do we carry forward our values regarding sex with us, even though we have rejected its doctrine?

HippieChick58 comments on May 31, 2018:

I don't find anything about sex sinful, and what happens between consenting adults is no one else's damn business. But I want a fulfilling relationship, not just FWB. I've been down that route, I don't find it works for me. Yeah, I want more intimacy, but until I find a true partner to share that I will have less sex.

I’ve made several first comments but no double points alert.

HippieChick58 comments on May 31, 2018:

I noticed that too. I felt cheated, but that's not about to slow me down.

I love snake plants, also called Mother in Law's Tongue. I used to have more, but then I got kittens... So now I have four that the girls haven't killed. Two are shut away from them most of the time. OMG, and now that I think of it they probably need watering.

[facebook.com] Cats are smarter than dogs.

HippieChick58 comments on May 30, 2018:

I had a golden retriever, he was the son I never gave birth to. When he was 4 we got a kitten. He weighed about 75#, she was about 4# if you soaked her down. Chief was trained to sit and wait for us to release him when his food bowl was put down. So one night he got the release, and the kitten went running right between his feet for the bowl and helped herself. And poor sweet obedient Chief turned around and looked at me with a hurt look on his face, like he was saying "moooo-ooommm, she's eating MY food!" And I said you poor puppy, she isn't even an appetizer for you. That tiny fur ball bossed that big boy for the rest of his life. He was smart for a dog, but not cat smart.

Women! How do you feel about men calling female underwear "panties"?

HippieChick58 comments on May 30, 2018:

I call 'em panties, drawers, bloomers, knickers, big girl panties, underwear, and occasionally "unmentionables" though they've been pretty thoroughly mentioned right now. Though it does beg the question, why are you asking any woman about our panties?

Calling all women over 50! Would you date a bald or a balding man?

HippieChick58 comments on May 30, 2018:

I am a natural type of gal. I don't color my hair and keep it short cuz it's uncontrollably curly. I rarely wear makeup though I do get my nails done. I like to do what I like to do, and I extend that option to everyone around me. So you're loosing your hair. My questions are: How is your mind? How is your heart? How is your health? How do you treat others? Shall I go on? Those are much more critical to me than the amount of hair you have, or your height, or the car you drive or don't drive. So yes, I'd consider starting a relationship with a balding or bald dude who lives in my general area, unless you voted for Don the Con and have no regrets on that score then that is a big old NO.

Is Dating someone who is in a different political party a deal-breaker for you?

HippieChick58 comments on May 30, 2018:

For me, I could not have a long term relationship with someone who was a Drumpf supporter. That tells me they have the morals of a snake. I just find nothing redeeming about Der Donald, and someone who thinks he has any redeeming features has terribly poor judgement in my opinion. This is not someone I want or need to spend a good deal of time with and frankly I can't see how they would fit into my life. OMG, it would be like dating my ex. Pardon me while I go lose my breakfast.

It's a trap.

What hair color of the opposite sex are you more attracted to ?

HippieChick58 comments on May 29, 2018:

Oh honey, hair color is the last item I worry about. Hair or no hair, who he is; the content of his character, of his heart is so much more important.

Mmmm.... Pink?

HippieChick58 comments on May 29, 2018:

I don't give to Wear Pink SK fund raisers. And having breast cancer is never a blessing, it doesn't teach you to appreciate your life. And the guidelines for breast cancer screenings are not accurate from what I have read. Too many mammograms too often and too much surgery from false positives. They don't want cures, they want customers.

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.

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.
