@Tooreen I tend not to get in other people's business, it just keeps everyone happier that way. I've known some older women/younger men, some have been happy, some not. My opinion is "whatever floats your boat."

@Tooreen I think I'd be more comfortable with someone 20 years older. 20 years younger would make my kids uneasy. Yes, I know the criteria to determine strokes, I work the admin side of medicine, and as I have gotten older I try to stay well educated on things that might affect my health and those of my loved ones.

@darthfaja And I will argue that different manufacturers use different standards. Some brands I wear an 8.5, some a size 9. Some brands I need medium width, some brands I need wide. Also, I lost weight and my shoe size changed. So yes, I kinda know my own shoe size, but I really have to try them on. And I think that might have made your original point :D

HippieChick58 replies on Apr 6, 2019:

@TCorCM What I find interesting others are often bored with. I can talk to you about quilting, my cats, my grandchildren, or my books. :D You have to find someone who shares at least some of your interests, the right person will find you fascinating. You're also 20, you've barely started. Take your time, talk to people, become the person you are meant to be. I am so not the same person I was at 20, I like myself so much better now. Get out there, have experiences, do things, learn things. That is what makes you interesting. Become an expert at something, find your passion. Find what makes you happy and follow that. The rest of life will fall into place. But get out there and live your life, don't wait for it to happen, take charge of making it happen.

@LiterateHiker I knew being a grandmother would be amazing, but what really takes my breath away is how much I truly love these babies. I love my girls, but I love the babies that much more.

My cat lays in the path of the robovac, and lets it run into her. Or worse, drops a toy in the path, which usually clogs it up and causes it to stop. I have twits for cats.

@Zoohome One of the cats will get up on the sofa or a chair and watch it, the other cat lays in the path. It runs while I'm at work, and nearly every time I come home to find it beeping sadly.

@TomMcGiverin Yes, Nebraska and Iowa are much the same types of folks, I think Iowa might be a tad more liberal.

I have been fully out of step with my "neighbors" ever since.

HippieChick58 replies on Apr 2, 2019:

To some extent I agree, however, men should never "expect" that a woman will have sex with them. It has to be equal choice with equal veto. I may choose to have sex with you, but if you say no, then no is no, and vice versa. It is never a given that either side will choose to say yes. And I agree about religion. Religion has fucked everything up. And if men choose to be mass murderers from frustration, then something is really wrong with their socialization skills.

Growing pains. Just remember the mantra of life: This too shall pass.

The buttons are up one day, down the next for me. What is going on????

Growing pains

HippieChick58 replies on Apr 2, 2019:

@kenriley I stopped getting taller at about 12, but I have had other times of growth in my life. And thankfully shrinkage in some ways. Things change all the damn time.

JacarC comments on Mar 28, 2019:

Why are points rescinded? More FB/YT/Twittee/patreon censoring? Somebody's feelings were offended/insulted, so they complain and points are taken away from the bad guy? Points earned according to the "Rules" are taken without reason or "rules." This is the kind of shit that discourages me from...

My "LIKE" button is still broken! (((LIKE))) I'm doing better than I have in a long time. But, I'm not incredible,or wonderful. I don't have that much time left. If life was a highway, I would have to say that, at the age of 69, I have more highway in my rear view mirror than I do in my ...

OH, CRAP! IT'S MORNING ALREADY? I'm sitting here with my first cup and remembering some things. Like, I used to have a pipe like those two in the picture. My Daughter was friends with a guy that made them. PS. My "LIKE" button is working again!

Dear @Admin: If y'all could kindly fix the 'Like' options, that would be great.

Cutiebeauty comments on Apr 1, 2019:

They should know about it by now.. there have been a dozen posts about it already

HippieChick58 replies on Apr 1, 2019:

At least a dozen, likely very many more.

Have you ever kept count of the number of times you've used that phrase? I'm thinking you have it set up as a smart phrase somewhere. There's nothing wrong with it, I just have been noticing and I think it is clever and funny.

@darthfaja I disagree about it being laziness. It is that people are __________. Fill in the blank with whatever word works, because it is true. And you aren't going to change them, you can only change you.

That is not a good image for my neck of the woods. Those peaceful rivers have flooded and lives are forever changed. Most of my area has been declared a disaster area.

HippieChick58 replies on Mar 31, 2019:

@WilliamCharles I had lunch with several Humanist friends who have grown up in this area and know farming. Seems the floods washed away the top soil and has deposited sand, and in some cases heavy metals. The floods also destroyed grain being stored for later sale. This flood will take years to recover from, 2 years in a best case scenario and never in the worst case. Expect food prices to go up this year as farmers can't plant.

HippieChick58 replies on Mar 31, 2019:

@AncientNight Our kids sometimes forget who raised them and try to parent us. It is vastly amusing at times, and annoying at others. When my kids tell me that they're not happy with something I plan to do, I tell them "duly noted." And then I do whatever it was that I planned to do.

@AncientNight If it makes you happy go for it!! Yes, you are exposing yourself to more risk when you ride it than if you ride in a car. However, if you have adequate insurance, no dependents, and you're a safe driver, why the hell not? Not like you're going to leave several small children with one fewer parent if something goes wrong. When better time to ride? I wonder how many bricks my kids will pass if/when I get a motorcycle when I really do retire.

The like buttons are hit or miss this weekend. I'm sure someone has made some changes and they will get it sorted out eventually. I am glad you're doing better, I am too. We've just got to keep on keeping on. I like the changes that being more senior has wrought. I think I'm wiser and more willing to share of that wisdom. I also don't get my knickers in a knot over stuff that just doesn't matter. I have finally figured out what matters, and most of it doesn't.

I haven't decided if it I have a cold or my spring allergies acting up. Take care of your self.

HippieChick58 replies on Mar 31, 2019:

@Elaine57 The fun thing about the allergies is they come and go. In theory it is weather patterns, wind direction, what is growing/blooming in the area, or exposure to animals that aren't my own. The reality is a choice of whether to tough it out or medicate. If the days are bad I medicate at bedtime, it helps me sleep. And then just wait for the winds to shift again.

HippieChick58 replies on Mar 30, 2019:

@WaywardAtheist Decade birthdays seem to hit lots of folks hard. Add to that the old idea that women "need" a partner to be complete. Some women of a certain age can't get past that.

HippieChick58 comments on Mar 30, 2019:

It is hard when our friends keep repeating their patterns. Is her friendship worth the drama? Only you can answer that.

HippieChick58 replies on Mar 30, 2019:

@WaywardAtheist What do you get out of your friendship with her? Sounds like she is a taker more than a giver. This is a question only you can answer, but the hard questions are: Are you better off with her or without her? And what are you getting out of the friendship. To me it seems that your needs aren't being met., but I am sure I don't have the full story. As women we're conditioned to ignore our needs and focus on others. We have to learn to put ourselves higher than that.

Word Alternatives for Environmental Terms

Arouet comments on Mar 30, 2019:

Most of these create more confusion than they resolve. Many are not synonyms at all. Examples: "biodiversity" is absolutely not the same as "wildlife"; the one relates to diversity, ie., how many different species, the other presumably relates to the number of individuals of a species. "Change" ...

HippieChick58 replies on Mar 30, 2019:

I am a word nerd. Language, at least English is so expressive, why should I not find the best words to convey my meaning. I never proclaimed that this was the definitive list and we should all stop what we're doing now and implement it. It thought it was interesting and wished to share. I'm sorry you did not find it so pleasing.

The Happiness Trap: Why You’re Never Satisfied and How to Break the Cycle

HippieChick58 comments on Mar 30, 2019:

Good article. I agree that we don't find happiness by comparing ourselves to the Joneses. We're not the Joneses, and those things important to the Joneses are not important to me. I find that TV is one of the biggest traps for unhappiness in modern life. Generally all advertising. Stuff is sold to ...

@mordant The common wisdom for smart shopper is to shop the perimeter of the grocery store, that is where the real food is. I don't buy much in the way of processed food, I cook large batches and freeze leftovers. I think I broke the TV habit by being in the military and living overseas. We had one channel so limited American TV. When my kids were growing up I limited their TV time. They tell me they were culturally deprived, but they were also the smartest and best read kids in their classes. I turned off cable TV during the Iowa Primary, I don't miss it. I also realized I was not watching TV so much as I was using it as background noise while I was online. I have never seen Game of Thrones, and I don't expect that to change. Give me a good book any day.

HippieChick58 replies on Mar 30, 2019:

@Olnoseven I have run into that issue many times. I get around it by copy and pasting, and then editing the article. I know not everyone wants to do that. And that is OK. I find the discussion of race and dating interesting. I'm about as white and they come and grew up in a small Midwestern town. My uncle married a Japanese woman just post Korean war. Aunt Mickie gave me an attitude check once when I said something racist. She pointed out that she wasn't white. She was my hero for so many things, it was eye opening for me. I have tried to not let race/skin color influence my decisions. As Maya Angelou told us, when you know better do better.

@RavenCT I have binge watched Nurse Jackie, Friends, and How I Met Your Mother. I am so out of the loop on TV shows, I just don't care about most of them.

may i ask ...especially from the 50+ Singles who dare to date. will the b.s. ever cease?

HippieChick58 comments on Mar 30, 2019:

Honey, if he lied to you once he will have no problem with lying to you again. Is this the way you want to start a relationship? Always, always, always my motto is to begin as you mean to go on. If he is beginning by lying to you... he will go on lying to you.
