One of my kids (age 37F) is planning to move to Amsterdam in October. She has a job lined up, husband's job will allow him to work remotely. She has two kids ages 4 and 18 months. It tears me up that she is moving so far away and taking those babies with her. But this is part of the reason she is moving.

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 1, 2022:

My first New Years day on the site I unblocked everyone from the year before. That lasted about 10 days tops. Usually if I block someone they're obnoxious or annoying, and I don't have time or bandwidth for that crap. Many that I originally blocked are no longer on the site, but many are. I haven't blocked anyone in months, but my blocked users list is currently around 20. It ain't stupid, peace of mind is priceless. Some of my currently blocked members are on FB, and I get a friend suggestion for them once in a while, and that is a "oh hell no".

6 years active duty Army, I entered the Army as a WAC, and I was also ASA. That and my mom died when I was 14, my dad remarried the stepwitch from hell, which prompted my decision to get the hell out of his house. He or they would not let me go to college because dad would have to sign the papers and he was not going to be financially responsible for me. He still had to sign papers for me to go active duty, but as I had two brothers who were active duty he'd have been on shaky ground refusing. The Army helped me find a great big world beyond my small midwestern town.

Eidetic imagery is the ability to remember an image in so much detail, clarity, and accuracy that it is as though the image were still being perceived. It is not perfect, as it is subject to distortions and additions (like episodic memory), and vocalization interferes with the memory." Take that Sheldon Cooper.

I told my daughters ages ago to protect themselves, and they got on the pill or other birth control as soon as they wanted. The only reason I knew was because I had to take them to the MD. I didn't ask questions, I just provided consent. If birth control becomes illegal then that's a whole 'nother fight.

I still have some of those in my car where I can reach them from the driver's seat. When I was near Ft. Lewis (about 28 years ago) I used to see a guy with a large sign just off the I5 exit near Ft. Lewis/Mchord AFB that was asking for money. Kid was sick and we ended up taking that exit multiple times in a month or so, I'd see the same sign held by different guys. I notice patterns, and totally identical sign. They must be organized somehow.

My dad was seasonally unemployed (a brick mason in Nebraska where the winters can be a b--ch.) I was the first girl in the family, and there were lots of "boy's" clothing already owned. They were frugal people, I wore what we already had. Should my parents have been punished for that? It just doesn't make sense to me. I'm more likely to wear jean or slacks than a dress any day. And this is part of the reason that I'm an atheist today.

Grandson had a Tball game today, these kidlets are 4 years old. They did not want to play today, way too hot and humid. That "game" ended after 30 minutes, no one was having a good time. Then grandson wanted to go to the playground, and his dad sighed and said OK. Kidlet wasn't on the playground for more than 10 minutes before he was ready to go home. I was ready to go home just walking from the parking lot to the field. I am so not a fan of summer weather. The idea of longer, hotter summers just blows my mind.
