Florida's Betsy DeVos? WTF?: [dailykos.com]
HippieChick58 comments on Jul 1, 2020:
With all due respect and great affection for those on this site who live in Florida. When my kids were younger I vowed never to move to Florida.

@FearlessFly Thank you! I was sprinkling the plants with Cayenne and chili peppers, it seemed to help, but I can't always get out right after a rain to replace it. The plant in the pot on the deck has not been touched, so I think I know what I am doing next year, and it is more convenient to the kitchen. I was considering some type of fencing, but I'm not sure I want to go to that expense.

Interesting analogy. Right now I have a bunny in my back yard that I think is sitting on her nest. I have very mixed feelings, she has been decimating my garden for weeks. I don't need more bunnies, and I do want the basil plants I am trying to grow. The cilantro was eaten to the dirt, was was the chamomile. Now, if mama bunny is still there on Friday, do I cancel my lawn guys? I am sure that ride on mower will just suck those babies up. What to do...

Native Americans In California Are Toppling Statues Of This Catholic Saint
JackPedigo comments on Jun 28, 2020:
There is no such thing as a saint and the simple fact is that many people deemed saints are those that excelled in doing the church's bidding. Mother Teresa baptising non-Catholics is a prime example.
HippieChick58 replies on Jun 28, 2020:
Mother Teresa was an iron clad bitch from all I've read of her. She did nothing to alleviate the suffering of the poor, told them that was their lot and they should be happy for it. There were many abuses in her charity homes, she was not a "good christian".

If I rolled over I took her with me. She had been part of an abandoned litter that was bottle fed by a family with other cats, dogs, kids, and assorted other humans. She thought all good things came from people. She thought our golden was her toy, he wasn't so sure, but he tolerated her. She went blind in old age, but still kept me company all the time. She was and forever will be my heart cat.

HippieChick58 replies on Jun 27, 2020:
No one is saying that George Floyd was a saint. He was sentenced to death by a cop for trying to pass a counterfeit bill. Regardless of what was in his past that cop had no business being judge and jury. Floyd did not receive due process. He did not resist arrest, he was quietly waiting for the cops. That cop brutally executed him as his partners stood by watching. This is not right, it is not justice.
I guess my question is why does God not want me.

A 2 year old bear is full grown and has means of protecting itself. A two year old child is totally vulnerable. Not a good analogy at all.

My oldest daughter has a degree in Microbiology, and now she works as a programmer. The degree shows you have the intelligence and determination to stick with a program to get the degree. 2nd daughter has a degree in history and works in data management. It is not uncommon. Their dad had a degree in zoology, joined the Army, worked in MI and after the Army was a programmer.

@WilliamFleming He went to college, he just didn't hang around for the degree. And he was able to use his talents to become a multimillionaire. Bill is definitely the exception to the rules. Working class would be more of the Target cashiers, cafeteria workers, carpenters, etc. College often changes your perspective if not your ability to earn a higher income. It just is. And to forestall a potential argument, not everyone is cut out for college. Two of my daughters have college degrees, #3 dropped out of college and is now a carpenter.

What I am reading is that the immunity does not last beyond a few weeks. It is possible there will never be any "herd immunity" and that this can be the gift that keeps on giving. And not everyone is able to make a full recovery. There are many younger folks that are left with major deficits and looking at long term disabilities.

It is slavery in that they are not paid, and they did not have a choice about working there. It is not a Clinton invention, but the Clintons did not try to stop it and in fact benefitted from it.

@NoMagicCookie I got sunburned badly twice in Okinawa. Once at a park a few blocks from the ocean, but hell, it is an island and tropical. The second time I was snorkeling in the morning. Didn't realize I was burned until I was at work (swing shift 1500 to 2300) and those wools sox, boots, and bloused pants were starting to irritate my legs. Then one of my coworkers patted me on the back and I came out of my chair! That one could have been an Article 15. I have scars on my shoulders from a sunburn that blistered when I was a kid. I have a long history of trouble with the sun.

HippieChick58 replies on Jun 24, 2020:
@BitFlipper Ohhhh honey. I've got the scars from rejections, too many rejections. I've been strung along, duped, lied to, and dropped like a hot potato. I'm kinda flattered you would think I've never been rejected, or not rejected often. The reality is I finally realized it isn't me, I'm wonderful. They were not worth my time and energy. Going from "what is wrong with me" to that realization it isn't me was a hard slog. And that was just my dating life, lets talk about work and social life, or not. I'm currently unemployed, and that might be worse than dating life rejection. Social life rejections... no baby, not going there, those scars are still tender all these years later. If I go into that I will be in a fetal position on my bed for the rest of the day and I got important stuff to do. I have done been there and received all that and more. Only the strong survive, the rest of us limp along as wounded warriors. Or as some would call us, losers. Oh hell, they might be coming out after all.
