HippieChick58 comments on Aug 29, 2022:

"She said on a podcast that Trump needs to "get on his knees" to pray and repent for his actions." If he gets down on his knees he will need 911 and they better bring a crane to lift him up again. And yes, he needs to repent of his greed and avarice, and his stupidity; but that would take a level of self awareness I just don't see in him.

I turned off the cable when Ted Cruz and Donnie boy were running for president. For myself, I might watch a movie while I am crafting, often it is Netflix on the laptop computer when I decide to knit. For me, any televised sports is a huge NO. I grew up with older brothers, Dad, and GBR (Go Big Red) or other sports every weekend. I even knit during my book club zoom meetings. Yeah, don't get me started on pictures of men with fish, biggest NO ever. I cook because I have to and it's cheaper for me to cook than to buy.

Relationship Worries

HippieChick58 comments on Aug 22, 2022:

You're very young, keep looking around for someone who shares your worldview or lack thereof. Now is the time to be checking out lots of potential partners to find just the right fit. Being alone is good, it gives you space to figure out who you are. If you're afraid he will break up with you it shows you can feel the unbalance in the relationship. A good relationship will give you confidence. And yes, Xian love is conditional, essentially do it my way. You deserve better.

HippieChick58 comments on Aug 21, 2022:

Just by living we tend to accumulate a lot of stuff. Much of it has memories attached. I have been going through my "stuff" and looking at it with fresh eyes. I ask myself why am I keeping it? Is it serving any useful purpose? Does it have that much sentimental value? Will the kids want it when I'm gone? Does it have any value? If it has value and I don't need it I will sell it on eBay. If it has no value and I don't care about it that much I will take it to Goodwill or other charity drop box. If it doesn't bring you joy and your kids won't want it get it out of your house. It seems like the less stuff we have the more peace we have. Too much stuff adds stress. Think of it as "right" sizing.
