HippieChick58 comments on Jan 16, 2023:

This is an example of execrable journalism, written to tell as little of the story as possible but yet getting folks all worked up. @bebe12 you didn't give a link to the story so we could have access to details, you just added to the hubris. I want to know if the child's paternity has been proven? Why was she not given the name before? Which news outlets? I'm sorry, Faux news lacks considerable credibility. And then there is the angle of "Who really gives a damn?" I don't. What Hunter does or does not do no influence on what his father does or doesn't do. It ain't Joe's issue. And it just doesn't matter. Hunter is a private citizen, he ain't taking money from the Saudis to get daddy's influence. It's a private matter between Hunter and his baby mama. Yeah, I feel sorry for the kid, she's the real loser in all of this.

Yesterday I began taking Yoga lessons from my daughter Claire, 32.

HippieChick58 comments on Jan 14, 2023:

I have done yoga, and enjoyed it. I really should get back into it, it is great for flexibility. And yes, standing on one foot is hard. I am lucky now to get more than 10 seconds. I used to be able to hold the pose longer. Your previous instructor sounds like pill. They should never make you feel bad or single you out. Yoga is a practice, no one is perfect at first, or even second attempt. Build into it gradually. There are lots of online resources as well. Keep it up, I think you will come to like it more, and especially with Claire as your buddy/instructor.

When I read Des Moines I was trying to figure out why you were in Iowa. And then enlightenment percolated up in my tired brain, there is a Des Moines in Washington state. I've been to both of them. I am directionally challenged, and left right deficient.. Don't ever tell me north or south, and don't tell me Right or Left (pointing is better). My mother and grandmothers were all L/R confused, it likely has a genetic genetic component. However, one of my kids ALWAYS knows where she is and what direction she is facing. I'm not sure she is truly mine, except she is like my doppelganger. This kid takes her kid on walks through the streets of Utrecht, Netherlands, and always manages to get them home without Google maps. I don't go anywhere without Google Maps, even around town. Google maps tells me and shows me. I am in trouble if I'm ever out and about without Google Maps.

Most of you are with it so this might seem redundant.
