Homemade Seitan slices with broccoli and carrot on rice.

HippieChick58 replies on Feb 19, 2019:
@confidentrealm When I was making bread I had a few recipes that called for VWG. Vital Wheat Gluten is the natural protein found in wheat. A small amount added to yeast bread recipes improves the texture and elasticity of the dough. Many people are not familiar with it, it was just a fluke that I had decided to hunt it down and use it. Then I got rid of the bread machine and forgot about the VWG until I cleaned out the pantry a few months ago. Being the frugal type I wondered what the heck I could do with it, and a google search led me to Seitan. It was a win/win situation.

A fabulous share, especially for those of us trained in female passivity. The man who I claim will appreciate my newfound boldness. Is there nothing more sexy than confidence?
HippieChick58 replies on Feb 19, 2019:
@mischl Advice to young women when I was young was to chase guys until they caught you. Yes, we were trained to be passive aggressive. The old saying was when a woman said no she meant maybe, when she said maybe she meant yes, and when she said yes she wasn't a lady.

@mischl I try very hard to tell it like it is, or like I see it. I like plain speaking. I rarely beat about the bush, and I am quick to identify the elephant in the room. I'm too old to waste time or let others waste my time. I think it is a gift that comes with age, and if ya gotta age you might as well grab those gifts.

@TomMcGiverin I like both dogs and cats, but dogs are more work and need more attention and time. If I was able to I'd have a dog, but it is not a good option for me now. One day I'd like to have a dog again. I had a golden when my kids were growing up, best dog ever. I don't want one that big now. The cats however, will always be part of my life. The are essential to my peace of mind and well being.

Bipolar cat?
HippieChick58 replies on Feb 17, 2019:
It is a Chimera. According to Geekologie.com, a chimera cat is one individual organism, but genetically its own fraternal twin. The chimera is formed from the merging of two nonidentical twins, therefore they can be male, female, or hermaphroditic. Basically what that means is it was two embryos that merged together, making the cat look like it's two different patterns. Sometimes the difference is not as obvious as the face fur, it could be4 a hitchhiker's thumb and one straight thumb, eyes of slightly different colors, or completely undetectable.

@icolan Mine have had a rough time. I had abdominal surgery when I was in my 20s, back before they developed the laparoscopic methods. So my ab muscles took a big hit, which was followed by several pregnancies. I thought my abs might stay dormant, but I finally got them functioning again, it's the coolest thing! On Thursday I had my granddaughter on my shoulders, she's 2 and weighs 32#. I decided to give her a thrill and sway with her. That turned out to be a great ab workout!

HippieChick58 replies on Feb 14, 2019:
@Amisja OMG, that is so true. My dad was a product of his upbringing, and my great great grandfather was an abusive SOB. When my kids were little we were a military family, and they never spent much time with my dad and his wife. They were NEVER alone with Dad and step witch. So that dysfunction did not get passed down to my kids. One of my sisters and I have worked hard to overcome the legacy and we've done good. The rest of them we don't deal with much.

@Amisja My dad was a brick mason, I am one of six kids. Brick masons don't work much in the winter in Nebraska. And then he remarried 6 months after my mom died, the step witch and he were miserable together for almost 30 years. It was just a messed up situation. I think I have come through it reasonably well. I did make sure my kids weren't affected, so it is just one of those things that makes you stronger. I'm glad your dad is doing well and you have a good relationship.

Worst of all is often the insurance won't talk to a nurse, clerk, or scribe. They insist on only speaking to the doctor which is a HUGE waste of the doctor's time. Often it is a lowly claims examiner who is making the decisions based on the company matrix. I tell folks when the insurance turns you down, ask for a list of everyone who has handled that claim. If there hasn't been an MD in the process you have grounds to sue.

I would have thought men fell victim most often, given what I've seen here.
HippieChick58 replies on Feb 10, 2019:
Men do fall victim, but usually men are asked for smaller sums of money but more frequently. From the guys I've spoken with that have fallen victim to scammers, they're asked to send a bit of money for the telephone bill, the car repair, the bus ticket. Small but frequent things. Women get asked for big amounts. I had one guy wanted me to buy an iPad and iWatch and send them to him. That did not happen

I didn't expect much of a refund - but simpler it is definitely not. I had 3 weeks of unemployment payments in Jan last year, but can't do a simple TurboTax return b/c now the IRS requires a Schedule 1. So now I got to cough up $40, just b/c I received about $800 in unemployment, which I paid ...

I finally got to the root of my issues other issues and including controlling the sugar and I've been losing weight gradually over the past 10 years and more rapidly this last 6 months. It is insidious, you don't realize how much sugar is in processed foods, including foods that aren't sweet.

What do you choose?

I don't choose anything. And there isn't a way to force myself to be happy or not happy. Happiness comes and goes according to what's going on in my life. I can tell you for example, that this morning when I went to the house the plumber was 40 minutes late. I was not happy about that. But ...
HippieChick58 replies on Feb 8, 2019:
I don't mean to argue with you, but you're letting things you cannot control determine your happiness. The plumber being late, while not good, is out of your control. Can you be happy despite that? And this may be semantics, I admit. I generally choose to be happy and roll with punches. The plumber is late but I can be happy anyway. I'm not pleased with the plumber, in fact quite annoyed. But I am happy because I'm on this side of the grave today and I have other stuff to look forward to.

@Robecology It is easy to set up selling on eBay. They have all sorts of tutorials and tips for new sellers. I have been a seller with eBay off and on since 1999. If it was costly or complicated I would never have gotten started. Your friend will need to have a camera to take pictures of what he/she wants to sell. The more pictures the better. Cell phone camera is usually fine. I take the time to edit my pictures. My seller ID is: repurposefullyyours Your friend will have to know approximate weight of the item being sold, and the size of the package it will be mailed in. Although eBay has some extensive data bases, most stuff they know how much it is going to weigh. They are linked to USPS and UPS and will help you figure out postage costs. I find it fascinating to watch the progress of the auctions. I have a hot one now (https://www.ebay.com/itm/333051508260) that has been getting bids from the start. Usually bids don't come in until the last few hours. I set up my auctions to end Sunday evening approx 7 CST. If you have any other questions, I will be happy to help as much as I can.
