She's an ER nurse according to her bio. There is some contradiction in her bio whether she is still a believer or not. Time will tell.

Gingerly adverb With great care or caution; warily.

HippieChick58 comments on Oct 2, 2022:

Where does the phrase gingerly come from? Before it came to mean “extremely cautiously” in 1600, gingerly meant “elegantly, daintily.” In fact, it stems from the Latin word gentius, meaning “(well)-born.” But today it has less to do with elegance and more to do with a delicate touch, usually used to avoid hurting something or someone.

IDIOMATIC.

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 29, 2022:

Idioms make it hard for foreigners to understand other languages. My aunt was Japanese, when she learned English she couldn't figure out why Mrs Astor's horse was ever mentioned. My grandmotehr used that idiom. That was common just after WWII and Korea. And in case you're a youngster: Where did the saying Astor's pet horse come from? Astor's pet horse, meaning “someone who dresses ostentatiously.” The phrase refers to Caroline Webster Schermerhorn Astor, from the ultra-wealthy Astor family, who was known for throwing parties so lavish that even her horse got dolled up.

Did anyone keep a journal when they were young?

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 24, 2022:

I have kept a journal off and on for most of my 30s and beyond. I shredded a bunch of them at one time. I also used to do long Xmas letters. Reading some of the old letters was what prompted me to start the end of my marriage. I now have a journal app on my tablet that I started the day I lost my job at the hospital billing office at the start of the pandemic. Then I pulled out all the old journals I had and transcribed those into the journal app. I had one of Oprah's Journals of Daily Renewal which she was selling when she was on her fitness kick with that trainer dude. I have written in my journal nearly every day (I think I skipped two days) since June 10, 2020. That journal has 1262 entries as of last night.

Ninebot, a Beijing-based transportation robotics startup rival, acquired Segway Inc. in April 2015, broadened the company to include other transportation devices, and announced in June 2020 it would no longer make a two-wheeled, self-balancing product.[1][2]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segway

I limited my kids TV time, they often say they grew up Amish. They were also good students. Igrew up watching TV, what helped me to break the habit was being in the military especially overseas where we didn't get regular programming, and I worked shiftwork. I currently don't have cable TV, I turned it off when I needed to tighten my spending, AND I saw Ted Cruz's face in my living room. That was during the presidential election that gave us Drumpf as a president. I might watch Netflix or Amazon Prime. Usually I will turn on something for the grands when they're here. I will watch TV when I'm working on a project like knitting or crochet, my hands are busy but I can follow the story line. I can't think of the last time I watched something on TV. I think it was when I was making a crocheted blanket for my grandson last fall/winter, I watched several old TV series that I borrowed the DVDs from the library. Like you I read, and cook from scratch. I also sew which takes me away from the TV. I don't miss TV at all.
