I want to stand on the Equator, and chosen location at the moment is Cuenca, Eduador. I want to ride in a hot air balloon. I want to visit the US states that I haven't yet, which is only 4 or 5. I have been to Alaska but not Hawaii.

@azzow2 I got to Alaska at O dark thirty in 1977 when I was on a MAC flight headed for Okinawa. We were offloaded to the terminal so they could refuel and restock the airplane. Not the greatest visit to Alaska, some day I'd like to do it up right.

@JenBeberstein The drug issue happens because so many drugs are illegally obtained or created. There is quite a bunch of money to be made in illicit drugs, that is the cost to society. I'm all for legal, regulated prostitution. If you are going to self harm you have to be where no one else can be effected, no children involved or witnessing. And yes, suicide as I said should be legal and assisted and definitely should not have criminal charges.

@JenBeberstein There is or can be a cost to society for the drug usage. LSD trips from my childhood come to mind. Now the prostitution, I like the way the Germans do it, legal and regulated. Self harm can be an issue, it has mental health connections. Now suicide I think should be legal with some regulations. You don't want dead bodies showing up where they shouldn't or not being found for an extended period of time.

My stepmother used to eat Vicks and thought we should too. I was 15 when my dad married her. I told her no way in hell was I going to eat that crap, it was clearly marked for external use only. Must have been one of the times my dad backed me up cuz I'm here to tell the tale. I must have used it on my kids, but I never use it now. If I need it now I will use Eucalyptus oil.

And for me another unwanted and unwelcomed birthday. Each September I'm reminded how I'm one year closer to dead.

HippieChick58 replies on Sep 1, 2018:

Lets put it into perspective. My mom died in 1972 from ovarian cancer. I was 14, she was 45. She never got to know my kids or any of her grandkids, nor her them. She never got to enjoy retirement or being a grandmother. When I was 40 I realized that could be my last decade... I got a divorce right around the time I was 50. I am now 60. I have grandchildren and it is totally amazing. I have no idea when I'm going to die, but I have outlived my mom. I beat the odds. Yeah, I'm not crazy about ratcheting up more years, but it was a privilege denied to my mom and so many others, I'm going to enjoy it and relish it. My life would have been totally different if she lived. Her death made me who I am. And I will live my life as fully as I can in part for her. Another birthday, bring it on. I can handle it! Yeah, I am sure I will die sometime, no one gets out of this life alive. But while I'm living I will live!

the depths of emotions both; up and down are glorious but you have to be brave, it isn't for the faint hearted. As high as it get it also goes low, and the lows can be excruciating. It's a wild roller coaster.

What’s the worst break up you’ve had?

neoncosmoum comments on Aug 30, 2018:

I've only had one break up ever so, obviously, it's the worst one. While it has been painful, continuously so, it's also been extremely easy compared to some I've witnessed. My [ex]wife (still legally married) and I still live together but considered ourselves separated. She is currently dating and ...

I'm a grandmother, so understand that I am concerned for your babies. How does this appear to them, are you being good role models? What happens if she finds someone she loves? If I am out of line I apologize, I know it is a hard situation, you have my sympathy.

Today could be my last day with my employer.

HippieChick58 comments on Aug 30, 2018:

I was actually mentally prepared to be escorted out by security. However, we agreed that I could resign and work down my caseload for the next week. So my last day at work is a week from tomorrow. They did suggest I take the rest of the day off, which was wise. It is a tough job, lots of "moving ...

@sweetcharlotte My manager did mention that several times. I'm a great person, and maybe too caring. Could be a worse epitaph.

Today could be my last day with my employer.

sweetcharlotte comments on Aug 30, 2018:

Do you have a plan for paying your bills when no money is coming in? That is the scariest part. I'm sorry you are going through this stressful time.

HippieChick58 replies on Aug 30, 2018:

Actually I have some income independent of the work place, and savings.

How many had one of these in their home?

HippieChick58 comments on Aug 30, 2018:

We had an old clunker hanging on the wall. Never had a princess phone :(

HippieChick58 replies on Aug 30, 2018:

@Sheannutt I did laugh out loud! Yes, OMG what were they thinking! My mom used to say the former owner of our house dumped all the leftover paints together, thinned it and stirred, and painted the inside of the whole house whatever the hell color it was.

That's Life ?

HippieChick58 replies on Aug 30, 2018:

I was ready to leave today. It's a stressful job. Instead I'm working my caseload down for the next week, and I have a paid holiday on Monday. Could have been worse. It is a relief, aside from losing health care coverage. Life in the US.

Unfortunately, not fake news.

HippieChick58 comments on Aug 29, 2018:

I expect to be fired tomorrow. So I brought home most of my stuff tonight. It is in many ways a relief. If I'm not fired I'm thinking they will let me work down my case load for a couple of weeks. I know I can't continue, I'm not meeting the metrics. IOW I'm too damn slow. I'm ready for a change.

HippieChick58 replies on Aug 30, 2018:

@Captain747ex I don't have to love it, I just want something I can tolerate until I can retire/get medicare. So all I really need at this point is medical insurance. I have saving and I'm getting part of my ex's military retirement. I was 60 in January, so I have to make it to 65 to get medicare, and I figure I can retire any time after 62. Just that damn health insurance.

Did anybody's parents have a set of these? I remember them and my Mother still have them.

I'm curious how many houseplants do you have in your home?

HippieChick58 comments on Aug 28, 2018:

I used to have many, many, many. Then I started moving to apartments, and apartments didn't have good natural light. Then I move to house that doesn't have good natural light. And then I got KITTENS! Now I have maybe 7. Mostly where cats can't get them and also where I forget to water regularly.

HippieChick58 replies on Aug 29, 2018:

@misternatureboy LOL!! I will have to think about that. Grammy is supposed to be indulgent, so you have to be as tall as the Sansevaria to drive probably won't go well with their parents :) I will have to think about it. Right now the babies are 5 months and 20 months. We've got a ways to go.

Who knew about sweet potatoes? How many of you grew them this year?

HippieChick58 comments on Aug 29, 2018:

sometimes I cook several sweet potatoes and then keep them in the fridge. A quick pop in the microwave and I have dinner.

HippieChick58 replies on Aug 29, 2018:

@Sheannutt Tastebuds are funny. My ex thought cruciferous veggies tasted bitter. I LOVE broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, etc. Not so much brussels sprouts. My kids take after me! It is also like the cilantro thing. To some folks it tastes like soap, not to me and my kids. The partners of the kids have the soap thing.

Who remembers doing this for school?

Who else went and checked out their own backgrounds? (Be honest)

HippieChick58 replies on Aug 28, 2018:

Actually, I didn't need to. My background has a mirror behind me that is reflecting the flash. I'm not sure if I like it, but it is the most recent picture. So until I get another one, that's gonna have to do.
