Where did you grow up? What did you like about it?

HippieChick58 comments on Mar 27, 2022:

I grew up in a small town 150 miles west of where I live now. When I was in HS my mom died and my dad remarried. When I was a senior in HS dad told me I wouldn't be going to college, he was not going to sign the permission paperwork (this was 1976) because he wasn't going to be responsible for the cost. He didn't give me many options for a future. I walked downtown one afternoon, dropped in on the Navy recruiter's office. They had no openings for a women's basic for about a year, he walked me over to the Army recruiter's office and I took paperwork home to my dad that evening. Dad had no good reason not to sign, so he did. The following December I left that small town and my dad's roof and never looked back. And that, my dears, has made all the difference.

I have started to keep blue blocker clip ons in my car, and that helps a great deal. My company is having a "town hall" meeting next week at a hotel downtown. There will be dinner, and our time is paid. I am joining via the web and skipping the dinner. I'd love to go for the free dinner, however, I hate driving downtown at night, and it's a Tuesday night, I don't want to stay out that late and then get up early the next day to work. I still get paid for the time online to watch it.

HippieChick58 comments on Mar 19, 2022:

Cats don't see well when it is really bright to totally dark. So they're programmed to sleep when sun is high and when there is no sun. The term for that is are crepuscular, which means that they are most active at dawn and dusk. Sometimes house cats will adjust away from that. I notice my cats sleep near me while I WFH, they are more active when I'm getting ready to go to work and after I'm home. I have no idea what they do at night, sometimes they do sleep with me.

HippieChick58 comments on Mar 15, 2022:

Coincidental that you posted this today. Today would have been my mother's 95th birthday, however she died 50 years ago. Her name was Minnie Mae. Two granddaughters carry her middle name, and my middle daughter was born on her birthday. Her most recently born great granddaughter also carries her middle name. (As luck would have it it is also the middle name of one of her dad's grandmothers.) When I came to realize that xianity was a lie and there is no life in heaven after death I went through a period of mourning that I'd never see my mother again, or see the baby that I lost earlier. I believe as long as someone remembers us we never completely die. And yes, this is why I quilt and craft. There will be reminder to my kids, and grands, and hopefully great grands that I lived and I loved them.

I close the door to the guest bedroom/home office only when the grands are here, as the work computer is in there. Thursday evening while the grands were here one of the cats was shut in there, which was OK. She wasn't going to come out while grands and their parents were here anyway. I've always kept the doors open while I'm sleeping.

Be happy with what you have, instead of yearning for what you're missing.

HippieChick58 comments on Mar 10, 2022:

I choose to be happy instead of focusing on what I don't have. My kids love and respect me, my grands are healthy and thriving. I have enough to pay my bills, some luxuries, and some savings. I have my hobbies and my circle of friends. Yes, my car is 15 years old, but it's paid for and running fine. No I don't have a huge flat screen TV, but I don't want one. I don't watch TV, and that might be why I am content. I think TV advertising is designed to make you want to spend money you don't have. I have a job where I am treated with respect and that pays pretty well. I have outlived my own mother by 19 years, and have now lived almost 50 years without her. She never met any of her grandchildren. I don't have a significant other, but I'm not sure how I would find time for one, although if the right person shows up I will seriously consider how to manage that. All things considered I am doing quite well.
