My experience with Missouri is that it is tripolar. There is St. Louis which IMHO has a very East Coast flavor and outlook. My ex grew up in the St. Louis area, I lived there a few time. Then there are the Ozarks, which is the hill billy back woods mentality. Then there is Kansas City which is western looking, modern and the only part I like. I also have lived in the KC area, and if not for my kids I'd move back there in a flash. I used to say on the Kansas side only, then the governor trashed the state and I'm glad I got away when I did.

@Donna_I History is why. I live in Omaha. Street numbering starts at the eastern edge, and the city grew mostly to the west. I live at 168th street, my neighborhood was built in the early 2000s. For the city, Midtown is considered about 40th. To me that doesn't make sense, the middle of the mass of the town is about 90th. I've been here since 2005. Same reason Ohio is considered Midwest. Nope, not logical.

So I work at a job that pays reasonably well and has decent benefits so when I'm not at work I can sew as I desire.

I wish I could say I was sorry it made you cry, but I think crying from time to time is a good thing. And thank you for posting it, I think it needs to be seen by more.

The slog for 9 is long and arduous, and the highlight of my day. (Yes. Well unless the kids and/or grandbabies come over, but they have lives.) So just buckle your seatbelt, hold on to the "oh shit" strap, and set compass to endure! You'll be at 8.1 in about 6 weeks. And congratulations!!

Sanseveria laurenti. Also called "mother-in-laws-tongue". Not too sexist. Impossible to kill other than over wateriing. I started with one leaf rescued from somewhere. Now I have 10 one gallon pots of them.

HippieChick58 replies on May 30, 2018:

@Sheannutt Bummer! come by my house, I will sacrifice a stalk or two. And keep checking nurseries, or florists. I see them in the grocery store from time to time, usually large ones but you can split those up into separate pots and make more babies.

A long time ago I worked for a company doing military work. There was a married couple. They did not work in my dept. Each one worked in a different dept. Their marriage went bad and ended in divorce but they stayed working at the same place which must have been weird. Well, the lady in this case ...

@Wildgreens That is such a dangerous request. I have it saved on Pintrest, with hundreds of other things. I am the queen of distraction, oh that looks cool.... And then remembering which recipe I used... It was either this one https://www.hobbyfarms.com/homemade-natural-deodorant-2/ or it was this one https://pronounceskincare.com/effective-easy-homemade-deodorant/

This is a great house plant to have.

HippieChick58 replies on May 30, 2018:

@Sheannutt Sacrifice one stalk from the plant you have. Pay attention to which end is up. Cut it into pieces about 3 inches long. Place each piece into its own pot of appropriate soil with the appropriate end up and moisten. And then wait and moisten from time to time. It might take several months, but you will get babies. From the same stalk I had some that took much longer than others to sprout. But they all sprouted.

This is serious stuff folks. Fashion should never be ignored.

HippieChick58 replies on May 30, 2018:

@UUNJ I dunno, on the soft skin to the inside of the elbow. My main concern is keeping the arm straightish while it heals. Most of my work is done at a computer. I can't have anything slowing me down at work so I will try to get it done when I have time off from work planned.

I had a hot date this evening.

@btroje Fer sure. My kids grew up playing in woods bringing home frogs. We moved many times, their favorite home was near Everett, WA. There were paths though the woods before the bulldozers came in. And then we moved.

'Roseanne' canceled after star's racist Twitter rant

Shelton comments on May 29, 2018:

The tweet was at 1:45am. It kind of makes you wonder why and what possessed her to do that at that hour. Why is she up at that time tweeting about that woman? Could she have been under the influence of something?

HippieChick58 replies on May 29, 2018:

likely she is under the influence of Don the Con.

HippieChick58 replies on May 29, 2018:

I don't count the hours or postings I make here, I'm just enjoying the hell out of the site and the conversations. I'm not a bar type of person and really I'm unsafe to drive or think after one drink. So I just keep on keeping on, until the kids call or the grandkids need a sitter. Then y'all are toast.
