HippieChick58 comments on Oct 30, 2022:

I'd say that is a timely word given the season.

This is a truly weird disease.

wow, that is wild.

"Stop pimping out your friend," I replied. "This is an old scam."

HippieChick58 comments on Oct 30, 2022:

I got messages like that from time to time, and quickly learned not to follow up on it. It's an OH Hell NO!

This hilarious but in a reply to another I had to find what a group of Lemmings is called.

When I was in HS I was home sick in bed. My cat was let in by other people in the house. She had a dead bird in her mouth which she planned to eat on my bed. That got thwarted.

HippieChick58 comments on Oct 30, 2022:

I do agree. It totally is hypocrisy, but it is also candy :) I had those same thoughts when I was an xian, but candy. Some churches do try to clean it up a bit, but still - candy. I don't participate any longer, I don't turn on my porch light and I block my sidewalk. Mostly I have to go down a flight of stairs to my front door several times a night. I don't want to have candy in the house, it is too tempting for me.

Cooked carrots have more vitamins absorbed by our bodies than raw.

HippieChick58 comments on Oct 29, 2022:

There are a few soups that I make during the winter that have roasted vegetables in them. Carrots is one of the vegetables i use frequently. Raw carrots have their place, fiber is necessary as well. During the fall/winter I make a large batch of soup (usually meat free) every weekend, and then portion it into 2 cup containers and freeze. During the week I choose one for lunch each day.I have quite a few recipes I use, and I'm always searching for new ones. My kids were here for dinner 10 days ago, I served Apple Cider Beef Stew. There was quite a bit left over, (I can cook for one or for 20, there is no in between) so I portioned out the leftovers for future lunches as well. I am not cooking this weekend because my freezer is full.

Too many people don't know this at all, or know it and don't care.

HippieChick58 comments on Oct 28, 2022:

Too many people want to share their opinions with the rest of the world, and have you incorporate them as your own. No Thanks, I have plenty of my own.

LARRUP.

HippieChick58 comments on Oct 28, 2022:

HippieChick58 comments on Oct 27, 2022:

I just sold my 16 year old car, so I feel your pain. I have had a dead battery a few times, and I've had to call my insurance company as they send Roadside Assistance. One thing I did recently was to buy an device that will charge the battery that I can plug in in my garage. I haven't had to use it yet. My dad told me I didn't need to learn anything about cars because I'd have a husband to do that. My ex hated to get his hands dirty, he wouldn't do anything more than add oil and wiper fluid if needed. The reason I sold my car was my daughter moved to the Netherlands and did not take her car. I bought her car as it is newer than mine and it helped them out.

I have seen some incredible metamorphoses.

The tetrahydrocannabinol must be getting stronger in the hooch they use in the Netherlands.

HippieChick58 comments on Oct 27, 2022:

I am planning a trip to the Netherlands in the next 18 months or so, my oldest daughter just moved there. I'm not sure she would appreciate me sampling the local products; but then again she might not care. The climate activists are going about their protests the wrong way, destroying historic works of art isn't spreading their message. It is sending a message, just not the one they want sent.

It is such a good feeling when you can work it out by yourself!! My kids call me a dinosaur, and I wear that with pride. And they generally fix my stuff. Two of the Sons in Law and one daughter are programmers, one daughter is a data base manager. They grew up with computers, we didn't.

We used to joke that my dad has six voice controlled remote controls, my mom gave birth to all of us. He'd holler at us if we were in another room to change the channel for him. It wasn't a request but a demand. He was a brickmason to he was pretty tuckered out at the end of the day.

Put 'Mandarin Mussolini' Trump behind bars with tax charges, Michael Cohen says.

HippieChick58 comments on Oct 22, 2022:

I think Garland needs to make an example of Donnie Boy so that crooks will think twice about messing around like Donnie did. Make Donnie an example of how serious this is and how harsh the punishment will be. If this is left unchecked the next generation is going to be that much more audacious and daring. Let's create a huge moment of caution for future scammers.

HippieChick58 comments on Oct 21, 2022:

Were you too harsh? Depending on my mood and what was going on at the time I may have played him on for a bit longer. Or I would have run him around in circles until he hung up. Most of the time I'd just hang up and block the number. I usually operate from the "life is just too short" frame of mind.

What's a shocking thing a date said to you? His words haunt me.

HippieChick58 comments on Oct 21, 2022:

I've never encountered anything like that, but I've been ghosted more times than I can count. There was one thing a date did tell me that confirmed I would never see him again, he told me he was looking for someone to help him grow up. I told him that was his mama's job and I had already raised my children. He had dropped out of college and had a string of tedious jobs since then. I think he was living with him mama as well. Talk about a HUGE red flag.

One of my kids decamped the US for the Netherlands. The US was just getting too threatening for them, their oldest would be starting public schools next fall, and just too many other issues that the Republican party seems to be behind. It wasn't totally political, but still traumatic.

What was a turning point in your life?

HippieChick58 comments on Oct 19, 2022:

I joined the Army after HS. I got outta my dad's house, out of my small town, and never looked back. I went to Germany and Japan, I learned leadership skills, and I found myself. In the circumstances it was the best move to make. Dad was not going to sign paperwork to allow me to go to college, his wife wanted me at home for slave labor. I have NO regrets.
