HippieChick58 comments on Jul 11, 2022:

I have **5** extended family members with Covid. Two of my kids, their spouses, and my brother in law all have Covid from different sources. And since my BIL has it, my sister is likely to get it too. Sis is early 60s, BIL is later 60s. BIL got it from his sister who decided to drop in on the 4th. One of the kids has kids, and they being cared for by their dad's parents who are in a small town nearby. The parents are retired and seem to think they're tougher than Covid. This could be interesting... However, I'm NOT a happy camper, this is too many people important to my life all being sick at the same time.

Are your children sentimental?

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 6, 2022:

One of my kids gave me and her dad subscriptions to "StoryWorth" for Christmas in 2020. Essentially every week we got a question about our childhood to answer, and they go into a book for our children and grandchildren. I answered all my questions. Their dad claimed he was "too busy", he is retired and only works on his hobby, a xian website hymnal. (And this is why I am divorced.) Daughter was not pleased with her dad. Daughter and I had a great time looking through tons of photographs for the books. I also made sure daughter had copies of all my pictures from my childhood, already digitized. Dad carted over about 10 large boxes of slides... The grands (well, the older ones, 5.5 and 4, the other two are 18 months and newborn) love to look at pictures of their moms and aunts when they were younger. I doubt if I have any pictures of my dad with my girls, my dad and stepmother were not people I wanted around my kids for very long. My mom passed when she was 45, I was 14. She would have been the most amazing grandmother. My kids have things that I have made for them, and more things I'm making for their kids all the time. Oldest G'daughter has asked for a quilted wallhanging to be made for her bedroom. I have some seasonal wallhangings in my house and she wants one the same size. So I have a new project, and I am choosing fabrics that aren't too "little girl" so it will be appropriate for her as she gets older.

I haven't blocked anyone in months, but my blocked users list is currently around 20. It ain't stupid, peace of mind is priceless.

He or they would not let me go to college because dad would have to sign the papers and he was not going to be financially responsible for me. He still had to sign papers for me to go active duty, but as I had two brothers who were active duty he'd have been on shaky ground refusing. The Army helped me find a great big world beyond my small midwestern town.

HippieChick58 comments on Jun 26, 2022:

Eidetic imagery is the ability to remember an image in so much detail, clarity, and accuracy that it is as though the image were still being perceived. It is not perfect, as it is subject to distortions and additions (like episodic memory), and vocalization interferes with the memory." Take that Sheldon Cooper.

HippieChick58 comments on Jun 25, 2022:

I expect more women to try to get IUDs. My youngest just had a baby and will be getting an IUD placed as soon as possible. I told my daughters ages ago to protect themselves, and they got on the pill or other birth control as soon as they wanted. The only reason I knew was because I had to take them to the MD. I didn't ask questions, I just provided consent. If birth control becomes illegal then that's a whole 'nother fight.
