I've read this word so often and really never looked into what it really was. It just doesn't sound good to me, and not for breakfast.

Something does not sound quite right about Kurt 77.

I think I got a message a few weeks ago from him. It was not very creative, I responded kinda sharply, and he just laughed. I don't see his messages any longer.

In my heart of hearts I know this to be true.

HippieChick58 comments on Feb 16, 2022:

If you allow it to make you bitter you will lose friends. It can make you stronger and better, but it's a hard row to hoe. It's worth it in the end, but that journey really sucks.

Most people get drunk on their 21st birthday. Here's how I spent mine.

HippieChick58 comments on Feb 16, 2022:

My 19th birthday I was in Army basic training and that was gas chamber day, so yes, I got gassed on my 19th. On my 21st birthday, still in the Army I had some very dull training on SAEDA, Subversion And Espionage Direct Against the US. I think I went to dinner with friends that night.

By far, the best use of this sound clip that I have found. 😍 [vm.tiktok.com]

"Contention is better than loneliness" is an Irish saying. Your thoughts?

HippieChick58 comments on Feb 11, 2022:

Our moms were taught that "For better for worse" meant forever. Yeah, I didn't buy into that. I stayed too long as it was. My parents were married for 25 years, and then dad remarried after my mom died. They stayed together for another almost 30 years, and they made each other miserable. My stepmother had been divorced before. They stayed married because they were too poor to get a divorce.

Ya know, I sometimes block people just because I don't like them.

HippieChick58 comments on Feb 10, 2022:

After my first year here, I unblocked everyone I had previously blocked as a New Year's experiment. That lasted for less than 30 days, I started blocking people again. Life is just too short to allow just anyone into my life however peripherally. Agnostics can be a$$holes too, and I just don't have bandwidth for them. For me, now once they're blocked they stay blocked, and I don't tolerate much to block a new person. I don't keep track of how many I have, many of those blocked have left the site, thank goodness.

HippieChick58 comments on Feb 7, 2022:

I lived in the Tacoma/Bothell/Snohomish area for 5ish years, back in 1993 to 1999. We went into Seattle on rare occassions, mostly because young kids and expense. I loved the area, except OMG cost of living. That and the rain. And distance from family. We had a memorable visit to the Seattle Children's museum on Christmas eve day 1993, and had one of my kids break out in chicken pox at dinner afterwards at Ivar's, and another broke out during the night. We must have infected more than 100 kids, the museum was packed.

HippieChick58 comments on Feb 5, 2022:

I worked for the 2000 Census in Overland Park, KS. I found it fun. I was a SAHM then. It was great until my kids got out of school for the summer and the youngest barfed on the floor as I was heading out for an appointment, so I knew that wasn't going to work out for us. But I got to know the area so much better. I am glad you got connected to the right person, and got some satisfaction. I hope they get rid of that manager. Some people should not be put in positions to manage other people. There is totally no excuse for his behavior. Now you're free to move on to other adventures.

No internet yesterday. Felt like a hopeless Luddite.

HippieChick58 comments on Feb 2, 2022:

Two of three kids and their partners are IT people, and their dad was also. The mantra is: When all else fails REBOOT. In my current job I work from home. There are days that the connections are strong and we are rolling well, and other days the internet drops out, and other days that we just don't know what gremlin has hit the system. We are advised before calling tech support to 1: clear cache and cookies, 2: switch browsers, and if all else fails then 3: reboot. Then you can call tech support. Today was a double reboot day, and still not everything was working right. I keep a Google speaker in the living room with a radio station playing. If I can still hear that, it isn't my internet that is causing problems. We can no longer switch browsers, one of our systems works only on Edge. We had one for a while that only worked on IE. It is cold in Omaha today and my internet has been dropping off and on all evening. It was strong until about 5. And yes, this morning I rebooted the modem and router, just in case. I am thinking I am going to move the modem and router to a more central location in the house in the near future. Sometimes on the other side of the house the reception is less steady. I am waiting for a day off with not much else to do to move it because it is going to take some gymnastics to get it where I want it to go, and I don't want any pressure of time to get it up and running. I might have to walk away for a few.

Do you have someone you are close to to use as a sounding board? Sometimes it helps to put your thoughts into spoken words with a safe person. Sometimes the right answer today won't be the right answer tomorrow. And then there is the risk factor, considering Florida and Covid, is this worth risking your life for? There are no easy answers, but you need to do what is best for you. Calling Employee support is a great idea.

HippieChick58 comments on Jan 29, 2022:

I used a dating/matching service about 10 years ago, and yeah that was a rip off. I had tried one of the dating sites before COVID thinking it would be my last attempt. I had a couple dates, and then COVID so I shut it down. Dating isn't worth risking your life over. Maybe after COVID I will try again, and then again it is very likely I won't. But I never try to predict the future...
