OK, I googled it. Female peafowl feathers tend to be either brown, gray or cream in color. Females have white bellies, while males' bellies are the same blue as the rest of their plumage. Although males look far more attractive, females have the advantage in the wild, as it's easier for them to camouflage themselves and avoid predation.

I didn’t think it was possible to hate Trump more!

HippieChick58 comments on Aug 28, 2021:

I don't hate Trump. What I feel goes so far beyond simple hate that it cannot be described. And this from a wordsmith. Loathe, despise, abhor don't come close enough. And yes, so many of our current ills can be laid at Donnie Dumpsterfire's feet, this is just another one.

Of course wealthy women will just be able to leave the state. [m.huffpost.com]

HippieChick58 comments on Aug 28, 2021:

I think this law is horrific! Yes, wealthier women can leave the state, will a private citizen sue the airlines that took her out of state? If she drives can they sue the gas station that facilitated her escape. I see such a rash of vigilante activity it makes me head spin. I'm so damn glad I never lived in Texas and have no desire to ever live there or visit ever again.

HippieChick58 comments on Aug 27, 2021:

I don't remember the exact number of times I've been corresponding with some male from a dating site and we've scheduled a meeting, and I get ghosted. It isn't exclusive to gender. It is a shitty way of doing business and a waste of my time, which is why I dropped out of dating sites. The last dude that ghosted me had told me where he works and I was able to find his work site. He told me who he worked for, and I had his picture from the site. He sells insurance, it was an easy find. I mailed a handwritten note, no return address to his office address and essentially told him he was a POS, and not to f--- with former WACs who have mad internet sleuthing skills. Online dating sucks, which is why I stopped. I don't have time for that BS. If I meet someone it will be local, so it will have to be work, REASON, or Omaha Humanists. With the new surge of Covid and WFH I'm not likely to meet anyone anytime soon, and I'm OK with that.

HippieChick58 comments on Aug 26, 2021:

For me one of the deal breakers is a TV in the bedroom. I have had a TV in the bedroom a few times, but it never got watched. I dated a guy who slept with the TV on. I cannot do that. I have a fan and white noise on, but never TV. I have a 2 TVs in my house, one has not been turned on in years, it is in the basement family room. The other is in the LR, but it is a small house. I don't have cable, I do have Roku and usually watch Netflix or Amazon. My TV is on less than 2 hours a day, and likely less than that. I grew up with TV in the living room and my dad watching TV every evening and sports on the weekends. I hate sports on TV. I am not put on this world to "make" anyone happy. I am content, and I make quilts. So far this year I have read 30 books. Might be more, sometimes I forget to add them to Goodreads. I once dated a guy who had not read a book since HS. He was over 50. That and his family drama made that a short relationship.

I told him I already raised my children and if I needed a project I'd start a new quilt. There was no second date.

Since my usual activities are the Humanist group, that pretty much means they won't be conservative xians which is the majority of my area. I can't meet someone at work because we are WFH at least til 2022. I don't know if it is easier to live with hope and then be disappointed, or to give up on it and acknowledge no or limited hope. Either way, I deal better in reality and focus on doing what I want to do. At least I know when I want a my needs taken care of it will happen with no side effects.

HippieChick58 comments on Aug 21, 2021:

He isn't saying anything that many people aren't thinking. There are many "causes" of being fat, people get AIDS without being homosexual, and people that don't smoke get lung cancer. But Covid can be slowed down if not stopped by taking precautions and getting the damn vaccine. Personally those that have been very public about not getting the vaccine I think are deserving of scorn, if not limited medical care. I think it is awesome Karma that when they have been so outspoken and obnoxious they come down with this "hoax" disease. Karma is working overtime recently. The US is still a free country. Morons and regular people are allowed to express their opinions. If YOU dont' like George Takei change the channel or turn off the TV or whatever. You can't pick and choose who gets a platform to express their opinions, but you don't have to listen, or complain about it. If you know you don't like George, don't listen to George. I don't like Tucker Carlson or Rush Limbaugh. Rush did us a favor by shuffling off this mortal coil. I don't watch TV or Fox News ever, so I can avoid Tucker Carlson. Everyone is happy. Thank goodness you're not George Takei. You would likely not have survived what he's been through.

My ex is a conservative, both xian and Republican. His idea of better than me would be about the opposite of me and that's fine. However, in the sack he is as unimaginative as his outlook, and he kisses like a wet sponge. Yes, I know, why and how did I stay married for so long. So my response would be "that poor gal." He has not dated since we split up, so I don't expect that to happen. If it does I wish her well, and I hope my kids have had the discussion with him about keeping his trust fund out of greedy hands.
