@jc2018 I lived in Rosepine, Louisiana about 34 years ago. Yeah, I remember. I remember yellow snow in the spring when the pine trees bloomed. I remember mowing the yard from February to November. I remember families taking their kids to get allergy shots. I had allergy shots. I may have to reconsider meds this year.

Nothing left to see.

Who remembers buying candy this way?

Mooolah comments on Aug 24, 2018:

I was not permitted candy as a child. So I have my teeth, I am svelte & I have no sugar addiction. This accounts for my pugnascious & cantankerous demeanor.

HippieChick58 replies on Aug 24, 2018:

Sadly I am addicted to sugar, via chocolate. My folks used to treat us with chocolate bars for good grades. My drug of choice for stress is plain M&Ms. Yes, I am plus size. I have figured out the addiction and cut sugar and am getting healthier. When I raised my girls books were treats. They all love to read. I am dealing with my stress through other methods. My granddaughter has a "bottle" that goes wherever she goes. I was thinking juice. No my daughter learned well from me, the bottle has water in it.

@jc2018 Sriracha was common in Thailand, and when US forces were stationed there and came back to the US they asked for the Military Commissary system to obtain it. And that is how Sriracha got introduced to the US. My ex loved it, he was stationed in Thailand before we met. We always had it at home, so my kids grew up with it around. My middle daughter would make Mac and cheese with Sriracha. Other than that she's an awesome woman. I keep sriracha in my house just for times they are here for dinner.

My job. It is a tough job, and I am dealing with people who are stressed/hurt. I work in Short Term Disability claims. The case load is high, and I'm just not fast or efficient enough to keep up. So many variables. So much that can go wrong. Some of the stuff wakes me up at night. I wake up reading medical records, or trying to make phone calls. Then the current news scene doesn't help, but compounded with my job, it is overwhelming. We have a fairly large turn over in staff because it is a tough job. I can see the stress on my coworkers faces. Some folks can handle it, some not so much.

@Deveno I live in the middle of a conservative backwater and I'm atheist to boot. I've done so many dating sites/services/processes, I've lost count. I am convinced a potential partner is not in my area, and I am not willing to relocate. The only way I can find a partner in my area is to have a lobotomy, and I'm not wiling to do that either. There is no dating up, down, or sideways in this equation. I will likely live alone until I have to move in with one of my kids, which is not good cuz then I'd end up seeing their dad much more often. Hopefully by then I will be senile and won't notice.

Now I might contribute to that? Were is that time machine when you want it?

AnneWimsey comments on Aug 12, 2018:

Were they tested previously? And what were the levels then? If no data exists, then there is nothing to talk about....yet

HippieChick58 replies on Aug 12, 2018:

The mussels were taken from unpolluted beds, and moved into the sound.

Warm up those printers and get ready for a road trip.

HippieChick58 comments on Aug 10, 2018:

I garden now and know quite a bit about edible plants. Would I kill animals, only if necessary. I eat mostly vegan now. I know a bit about animal care, I am sure I could raise and milk cows and chickens. I will eat eggs and milk products on occasion, I can also sew, make soap, i know how to dry ...

HippieChick58 replies on Aug 11, 2018:

@azzow2 Thank you! I've always felt out of step with society, and within the last few years have really moved to embrace it. It is good to be self reliant. I dream of living off the grid, but never alone. So I do what I can to live in society with as small a carbon footprint as possible. I use reusable towels and personal wipes instead of paper towels and toilet papers. I make my own deodorant, toothpaste, and lip balm. I have a worm box in my pantry and a compost pile. When you call yourself a hippie, you can't be like everyone else.

I started clearing off some shelves I hadn't touched in over a decade.

Thank you!! I had a therapist tell me that several years ago, and every once in a while I think I need to look it up. Thanks for finding it for me :)

Yes, please.

I can see her sending a picture of some book she has never read, but thinks is "deep" and then neither one has read it! Not everyone wants to admit they are on their third reading of the "Harry Potter" books, lol!

I'd be excited to meet someone who knew Harry. I make references to the books frequently.

HippieChick58 replies on Aug 8, 2018:

@Funnygir175 AMEN! I will select the bananas I want. I don't need 6 or seven, I just need one, maybe two at the most and generally I want to use them that day or the next. No green ones.

As you you do not respond to private messages I will relay here - your spell check has applied the wrong spelling - it should be "hear hear". http://www.thefreedictionary.com/hear+hear

Although that is 100% correct, was it necessary?

@agnosticbuddhist Amen is always appropriate, the xians don't own that. Merriam Webster Dictionary says: used to express solemn ratification (as of an expression of faith) or hearty approval (as of an assertion). Can I get an "Amen!?" :)

@Mokvon Still, the manager should have not let his staff argue with customers.

OK.

Don't let one job make you feel that way. You haven't let anyone down. You're obviously an intelligent individual...or you wouldn't be on here! ;) I did have one job in my life where I was made to feel dumb and I fell for it, briefly. But we are all so much more than what we do to earn money.

Just because you don't get it on your job doesn't mean that you're dumb or incompetent. (If anyone is dumb, it's me for dropping out of High School back in 68.) With any kind of will power, you'll land on your feet and shine.
