Wow.....was he in ill health when you met him? Smoker? Obese, out of shape?
HippieChick58 replies on Jan 4, 2019:
No, on the contrary he had a tiny bit of a belly but was working on it. He lived next to a park with a great walking path and was walking daily. His wife's chronic condition had meant limited sex life and she didn't want anything kinky. He was looking forward to an improved sex life and exploring the kinkier side. Non smoker, seemed to be in great health. and he was just in his very early 50s.

My meditation this morning discussed how resolutions set you up for pass/fail, whereas setting the intention to change something allows you to improve gradually. So I am setting an intention to be more selective of with whom and when I do battle. There are some battles that cannot be won, like trying to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and annoys the pig. There is a "pig" I have had words with a time or two, and I need to ignore that pig.

The idea of surgery just doesn't appeal to me. My grandmother was 5'11" and used to complain about "my damn thumb" as she rubbed the base of her thumb on her left hand. So I am 5'5", and I have "my damn thumb." She couldn't have passed on her height, no I got her damn thumb.

Thumb replacements?
HippieChick58 replies on Jan 1, 2019:
my guess is likely very much like a knee joint replacement, only it is the thumb joint. I used to work in disability claims and I had a dental assistant who had a thumb joint replacement. She was out of work for weeks. I have arthritis pretty bad in my left thumb. If it was my right thumb I'd be considering replacement. As it is I am RHD (right hand dominant) and the left thumb is often kind of redundant.

So no candy coated peanuts for me. I eat lots of peanuts though. I am trying to live healthy to keep up with grandbabies. I know about eating the whole bag at once. My addiction is chocolate and sugar. I used to eat Thin Mints by the gross. I heard an ad for GS Cookie time today so I have think mints on my mind. Or Oreos. Plain M&Ms were my drug of choice at work. I haven't had M&Ms in more than 6 months.

@maturin1919 I agree. I am a native child, but I've lived all over the world and sometimes wonder how I really ended up back here. But you're right, if not for football there is nothing else.

You sure that it is not the fact that he admits to liking sex and is prepared to do more for a relationship than you are?
HippieChick58 replies on Dec 30, 2018:
@FrayedBear That doesn't mean I don't like sex. It does mean I'm not likely to hop in bed with someone on the first date. Morality? What is that? I have some personal guidelines, it keeps me sane and happy. Given the statistics about how often men masturbate should I be wary of all men because they likely self inflict? Some men are turned on by the fact that a woman masturbates. How often I do or don't is not anyone's business until I choose to make it so. Some men would be glad to know in this time of rampant STDs that I'm not sleeping around with every available male as I also hope men aren't bed hopping indiscriminately. Herpes is forever.

No one relocates to Omaha, NE for a romantic interest. And at 50+ you are not going to take just any job. Relocation is always an issue.

The Democratic Party used to be cool, but unfortunately their platform does not represent the true left anymore.
HippieChick58 replies on Dec 29, 2018:
@Closeted @Monad There will always be shifts because we're human. Things change over time. The Repubs used to be far more liberal way way back when. Things will be changing in the future, maybe back to what Democrats should be, though I doubt you can get two of any party to agree 100%

HippieChick58 replies on Dec 29, 2018:
@MissKathleen No problem Miss K. It's history, he's a "different" type of guy. The good thing is all the kids have lived with him as adults, and they all realize how "special" he is. They tell me we should have divorced years before, and they may be right with 20/20 hindsight, y'know. We produced some amazing kids and for that I will always be somewhat grateful to him. We are amicable when we are together, but sometimes I bite my tongue, hard. I would walk through fire for my kids, and being civil to their dad is far easier, most of the time, than the fire walk.

HippieChick58 replies on Dec 29, 2018:
@MissKathleen LOL!! Intent. He has had a Xian website called The Cyber Hymnal for more than 15 years. It took all of his time and attention, he spent far more time with it than me or the kids, and I had repeatedly asked him to spend less time on it. When I asked him to shut it off to save our marriage he agreed, and then begged NOT to. We even saw a counselor who suggested more time together. The gift was given for Mother's day which of course is right after Easter. He wrote the poem as words to a hymn of which the music already existed. It was not about mothers or love or children, it was about Easter and Jesus, and resurrection. He dedicated the hymn to me on his website. When the divorce filing was done one of the stipulations was he remove my name and all references to me from his website. So, from my point of view his intent was to produce a gift with as little effort and forethought as possible. I often referred to the website as "the other woman" and told him often I did not care to hear about it. Tell me what you think his "INTENT" was.

@MrLink LOL, Actually, I don't see a cure, ever. My condition is anxiety, it waxes and wanes. I think it is pretty common in the general population. When I'm sewing I can focus intently and it reduces the hold anxiety has. And yeah, the therapy results are pretty amazing. After the rainbow quilt I thought I'd take a break. Nah, I'm planning the next two quilts already.
