HippieChick58 comments on May 1, 2018:

I have been home today cuz I have the crud from hell. Thinking I should do something useful and easy I went out to the deck and cleaned out the pots from last years plantings. It is muggy and really quiet out there. The clouds are various shades of gray. Yah, tornado weather for sure! I will be in the basement if anyone needs me.

Seems we are the sheep by proxy by all the trump supporters who are dragging us into this huge Ponzi...

Howdy, I'm a twice divorced guy that's 64 & retired.

HippieChick58 comments on May 1, 2018:

Welcome!! I used to live in Rosepine, Louisiana. Happily for less than 2 years. I did not cry to see it in my rearview mirror. My oldest daughter was born at Bayne-Jones Army Community Hospital, Ft. Polk, she was 6 weeks old when we left. They called Ft. Polk the Armpit of the Army. I remember driving past Bay St. Louis while I was in the south. The name amused me, but odd things amuse me.

What is it with pet names?

HippieChick58 comments on May 1, 2018:

Using pet names is a way to infer intimacy. I don't appreciate it when a relative stranger starts calling me honey, or dear. Lets get to know each other first. Usually I get that from scammers, I think they may have trouble keeping names straight, much easier to be non specific. That being said if someone messages me and tells me something really nice I am likely to call them sweetie.

So .. we're all looking for someone special in our lives. What's everyone's background?

HippieChick58 comments on May 1, 2018:

I was married to the father of my children for over 25 years. Have been divorced almost 10 years. I have dated a few times, was in a long term long distance relationship after the divorce. That fell apart horribly when he couldn't get rid of his excess stuff to move to Omaha. He wanted a fresh start, but had too many ties that he couldn't cut or some such shit. I dated off and on after that. I encountered too many scammers. My last date with a real person was maybe 3 months ago, he said he'd like to see me again, and then ghosted me. After a few more scammers I dropped off all dating sites. I'm usually not nervous about first dates, I think my expectations are low enough now that there isn't any reason to be nervous. Am I cynical? I do not have high expectations but if you don't try....

Ways to Create a Better Life

I went outside 4 times today. To and from the car, once for a quick walk outside at lunch, and once at home to start unloading the winter kill off my deck (one pot, but a big one). Baby steps. I'm also fighting a cold, have an elephant on my chest. Early bedtime tonight, maybe.

Give me sleep! The house gets clean enough and I do have Roscoe the Robot Vac. I do enjoy running errands from time to time. And the kids are grown, I don't have to listen to them fight. I have to listen to a recap from time to time, but it isn't that hard to change the subject. I haven't had 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep in years.

I no longer believe in the institution of marriage.

HippieChick58 comments on Apr 29, 2018:

I have been divorced about 8 years (don't remember the exact count anymore). For financial reasons I will never remarry because that would create a financial penalty when I retire. And for me as there will never be human kids, there is no other reason I can think of to marry. I want a long term committed shack up. As for others I say, "follow your bliss."

HippieChick58 comments on Apr 29, 2018:

I read the book when it came out. It was hard for me to read that many years ago. The story stayed with me, and I was thinking about how current times mirror it so much, and then the TV adaptation was created. Nope, can't watch it. Or IF I did I'd have to give up sleeping.

HippieChick58 comments on Apr 29, 2018:

Intimacy is beyond just taking your clothes off, it is when you take your barriers down and let someone in to see the real you; your fears, your demons, your ugly parts and your true heart. True intimacy is hard and scary as hell, and I would go to the ends of the earth for it.

Have you told anyone today how much they mean to you? When was the last time you were told?

HippieChick58 comments on Apr 26, 2018:

I was with my oldest on Tuesday and last night after work. New baby and new mama adjustment issues. I was able to tell my daughter how proud I was of her for all she has accomplished and how everything IS going to be OK. She's got some panic disorders going on. I had a conversation with her husband and told him that I thought he was holding up really well, and I was impressed with his quiet support and putting up with my daughter. He is really coming through for her. Her dad had mentally checked out about the time we got her home as a baby. My middle daughter frequently tells me how much I mean to her, and how she is proud of what I have accomplished.

Hello everyone, I'm new. Goo, I missed the chatroom!

HippieChick58 comments on Apr 24, 2018:

I spent the day with my oldest daughter, her husband and son. She just gave birth on Saturday, and she has been having panic and anxiety attacks for the past couple of weeks. And not sleeping. Baby is doing lots of sleeping, but not eating. So I got activated on Grammy duty to help out. I know from experience it is hard to slow your breathing down when you're agitated, and she proved it today. The good news is she is getting help, all the doctors involved are communicating. And I kept telling her it does get better, it does get easier. Even if Junior goes on formula it doesn't mean you have failed, it means you chose what is best for him at the time and that is a win. It isn't how you planned it, but reality seldom is. You change plans and find your way, and you will find your way.

Partly I see it as a timing issue. Most of the people you see frequently are people who are on about the same time you are, and comment on things you are interested in. But I know the feeling you have, where did they come from and how did the get here without me noticing. I just figured my memory is going ;)

I have done phone sex a few times, usually with someone I've already been intimate with. Although I have a distant friend I've never met in person. We occasionally connect. I was his first orgasm after he had a heart attack.

How often, or when do you feel like you need to exercise the old "suspension of disbelief"?

HippieChick58 comments on Apr 23, 2018:

Often enough, or more than too often. When I was active on dating sites I'd have a gut feeling that it was a scammer. I'd go along to see what the hook was. I gave that up not too long ago. I decided I'd seen it all, heard it all, and if nothing changed then nothing would change. So I changed, I dropped out.

HippieChick58 comments on Apr 22, 2018:

My kids are all within half an hour of me and there are now two grandchildren. My kids grew up not really knowing their grandparents, especially my folks due to ex's job (military) and my mom passed when I was a kid. I want to know my grandchildren and be close to spend lots of time with them. And then there is that job thing, I don't want to have to find a new job, it's bad enough before 60, I don't think it gets better. And I had a long distance relationship once. When it was good it was amazing, and when it broke apart it was very very bad. The distance killed it.

Ladies, what are your biggest hurdles when meeting and connecting with men?

HippieChick58 comments on Apr 22, 2018:

Not getting any responses from men in my area. I get scammers who I've never met in person, but they love me, and then they have trouble and ask for money because they have no one else to ask. Aside from that, generally, I'm a liberal atheist in a conservative fairly religious state. I'm not slim, and I'm not 25. Or I'm meeting guys that want a sugar mama. And I'm not willing to relocate and not willing to do long distance.

Should I give to Goodwill?

HippieChick58 comments on Apr 22, 2018:

Goodwill has a reputation for not paying their workers fairly and the CEO lives a pretty cushy life. My suggestion is a google search of organizations in your area that accept donations of clothing for refugees or poor, or otherwise disadvantaged. There are a few in my area that are not connected to any church.
