HippieChick58 comments on Jan 8, 2022:

As a teenager I was sick in bed and my kitty was let in by the adults in the house. They didn't notice what she was carrying... She hopped up on the end of my bed with a dead robin and was intent on dismembering it. I grabbed her by the tail, kicked the corpse off my bed, and hollered for help. I could not get out of bed. Stepwitch came up, grabbed the corpse, and kitty followed her. Kitty returned and chewed me out for allowing that to happen! Kitty was a Siamese, very vocal.

I don't think that Kristy Brinkley is all that fabulous. I also think that physical beauty is primarily luck and genetics. **Who** we are is what makes us truly beautiful, and that is a result of who we are, how we act, what we think and do. I don't take it as a compliment when someone who has never met me tells me I'm beautiful, because I don't think I am and I don't think their opinion matters. When you know me, then it might matter more to me.

Girl, you live in Kentucky, I don't have much hope for your prospects. My first ex husband was from Kentucky and likely still lives there. The few days I spent in Kentucky were an awakening. I was 19, and even at that tender age I knew something was seriously wrong with those people I had this impression they thought women didn't know what they wanted until they told you what you wanted. I have been to Kentucky twice since then. Once the Army sent me there for the longest two weeks of my life, and the second time was to drive across the state as fast as I could without low altitude flying. I did NOT want to get stopped by the County Mounties. I had youngest daughter and second (now ex) husband in the car with me. I discussed tobacco barns and horse racing with the daughter during that drive.

What do you say to religious proselytizers?

HippieChick58 comments on Dec 30, 2021:

I live in a house with a split entry foyer. Main living area is up a flight of stairs from the front door, basement and garage are on the lower level. Everyone who knows me knows not to come over unannounced. So when the doorbell rings and I'm not expecting someone I generally blow it off. And as I WFH and am usually on a phone call, during the day I generally ignore the doorbell anyway. If I'm not working I might look out the window to see who is at the door, and if I don't know them I generally ignore them anyway, unless I open the window to tell them to get off my porch. I don't have time and energy for religious kooks or salespersons. One of the neighbors came over a few weeks ago, and I couldn't/didn't answer the door. He had figured out why the plants in one part of our adjoining yards kept dying. Since I wasn't available to give or deny permission to fix it, he decided it was easier to get permission :) He had some work done and told me about it when he saw me come out. He did good! I probably should give them my phone number, not that I'd have been able to answer the phone.

We can only hope that a special prosecutor or SDNY gets their asses.

Has anyone installed a tankless water heater?

HippieChick58 comments on Dec 30, 2021:

I didn't install it, but I had one installed. I love it! I have to wait a few moments for hot water to get upstairs, but I have hot water when needed and as much as I want. I had one also in my home prior to my divorce. I had a really emotionally and physically taxing day, after I got home I stood in the shower for over an hour and never ran out of hot water. My ex (then husband) thought I had washed myself down the drain.

I have some ethics questions.

HippieChick58 comments on Dec 30, 2021:

I would, and I've lost friends that way. I figured if they didn't like the truth then the friendship might have been more on my side anyway. A true friend tells you the truth and looks out for your best interests.

Thalassophilia: someone who loves the ocean, the sea and other big bodies of water.

HippieChick58 comments on Dec 24, 2021:

Your post led me to google and I found this interesting little gem: IN THE NAME OF EUGENICS Genetics and the Uses of Human Heredity. By Daniel J. Kevles. 426 pp. New York: Alfred A. Knopf. $22.95. EARLY in this century, Charles Davenport, an important American geneticist, compiled family histories and genealogies concerned with ''thalassophilia'' - a scientific-sounding word that translates to ''love of the sea.'' The trait, Davenport concluded, was passed on from parent to child through the principles of heredity discovered by Gregor Mendel. He argued that thalassophilia, like colorblindness, was a sex-linked recessive trait because for the most part it was expressed in male offspring only. We must assume Davenport's logic would have led him to conclude that the Swiss - a landlocked people - were strikingly deficient in thalassophilia genes. We don't have to make assumptions about Davenport's thinking on the genetic traits of such peoples as Italians and Jews. ''In the Name of Eugenics,'' Daniel J. Kevles's revealing study of the tangled history of the eugenics movement and its relation to the science of human genetics, reminds us that Davenport was active in the campaign to restrict European immigration to America. He argued that the Italian ''race'' tended toward ''crimes of personal violence,'' while the genes of Jews impelled them toward ''thieving.'' These allegedly scientific conclusions - based on shabby data and even shabbier logic - enabled Davenport to argue that a continued influx of immigrants from southeastern Europe would change the genetic makeup of the United States, making the population ''darker in pigmentation, smaller in stature, more mercurial . . . more given to crimes of larceny, kidnapping, assault, murder, rape, and sex-immorality.'' https://www.nytimes.com/1985/06/09/books/the-bad-seed-of-bad-science.html

HippieChick58 comments on Dec 22, 2021:

Have you tried pot? Benadryl and doxycycline are OTC sleep aids that are pretty useful. And for me a couple of drinks puts me out pretty quickly. All of the above work for me unless they cause my blood pressure to drop, and then I have to wait for them to clear my system, which absolutely doesn't help me get sleep. The drop in BP should not be a concern for you, you're young and healthy, comparatively.
