@Cast1es Each of the poll responses should be an answer to the question posed by the poll. You have 4 questions which you think need yes or no answers. A poll should be one questions with however many answers you think are appropriate. For example the poll could ask: would you be willing to date someone in debt? The answers could be: A: Yes, B: No, C: Depends on the total amount, D: depends on the repayment plan, E: Depends on whether or not he/she is fabulously good looking.

@AlanMargu if money brought happiness then why and how would people who are poor ever find happiness? Also, I've met people with all their financial needs covered and they did not seem to be happy. Does my work help me find happiness? Yes, especially Friday at 5:30. However equally my work adds to my unhappiness. My job has a significant customer service portion and lots of days people just suck. Now, I have savings and retirement funds, but I'm too young to qualify for Medicare and private health insurance is way too expensive for me. My job adds to my security and therefore my happiness by providing my health insurance. But then is that work or slavery?

HippieChick58 replies on Jul 7, 2018:

@maturin1919 but IF I have a deadline, and pressure, then it becomes work. I love to make quilts and sew. I love it because it relaxes me, and it is fun. I can go in an work on a quilt for however long I have and enjoy it. IF I have a deadline it becomes less fun. I have to make time to work on it. It becomes something else to be ticked off a list. If I have to sell that quilt to make money so I can afford to do the next quilt, then there is another hurdle. And if I am making a quilt to someone else's color and pattern choices... I made a quilt for new grandson, would never have chosen the colors but that was the colors the baby's mama wanted. I'm glad I did, they love it and use it, but is not my favorite project. As for my current job, yes there are things I love about it, like the paycheck and benefits, and I help people. Downside is pressure, stress and sometimes people are just freaking mean and crabby even when you're doing the right things. Definitely work

Say OM out loud, very slowly. Feel the vibrations in your chest, and hold it as long as you can. That is an OM.

I was reminded of something the other day.

bigpawbullets comments on Jul 4, 2018:

OM? Like.... "OHMMMMMMMMMM" ??

HippieChick58 replies on Jul 4, 2018:

precisely, and feel the vibration of your diaphragm. It's actually very relaxing, but seemingly not for the kitties.

Should We Be Patriotic? - TheHumanist.com

ArdentAtheist comments on Jul 4, 2018:

We should want the best for the people and the world. Our means to accomplish both is in having an inclusive patriotism that welcomes immigrants. The words on the Statue Of Liberty are important to me and should be important to us all, I hope they are. “Give me your tired, your poor, Your ...

HippieChick58 replies on Jul 4, 2018:

I have those words on my FB profile picture. They are very important to me as well as a child of immigrants.

Goebbels Needs a Hug....

jujuofthesea comments on Jul 4, 2018:

In case you're wondering, Paul Joseph Goebbels was a German Nazi politician and Reich Minister of Propaganda - the Sarah Huckabee Sanders equivalent. This is funny :-)

HippieChick58 replies on Jul 4, 2018:

Thank you for the background! That makes it even richer.

Should We Be Patriotic? - TheHumanist.com

JoeLovesIt comments on Jul 4, 2018:

There's a galaxy of attitudes that could fall under the banner of "being patriotic" from a simple proud identification with the place of your birth to ugly nationalism. Maybe instead of asking if we should be patriotic the question should be how should we be patriotic.

I love this movie, I guess Ive seen it at least 15 to 20 times. Everytime I hear the name, I want to see it again. Like now.

HippieChick58 replies on Jul 4, 2018:

I don't quite know how or why, but I didn't read this until about 5 years ago. I was just flabbergasted to have missed it for so long. It is a wonderful book.

I cannot believe how lucky I have become in the great community I have found.

Columbus was brutal, evil, and the worst thing to ever happen to the indigenous peoples.

I hope you’ve officially unfriended him!

HippieChick58 replies on Jul 4, 2018:

No, but I think he blocked me. I just checked out his page out of morbid curiosity. My cousin seemed to have an identity shift in HS. Hormones and rebellion, she married several times and had lots of kids. Like she had a lobotomy. I remember the happy free spirit she was in our youth. So much potential, so tragically wasted. Besides, it is good to know how others are thinking, or not thinking...

BufftonBeotch comments on Jul 4, 2018:

Immigration was welcomed as a way to build a nation until the people already here got all racist. Not many people speak Apache. American culture is a blend of lovable mutts that we are. And there is so much wrong with that painting I can't even.

HippieChick58 replies on Jul 4, 2018:

I know right! It just amazes me how doltish this cousin is. His grandfather, my beloved uncle must be devastated.

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 4, 2018:

https://pets.webmd.com/features/shaving-dog-or-cat-during-summer#1 I had a friend who had her cat shaved, I always felt sorry for the cat. Generally vets don't recommend it unless there is a huge issue with hairballs.

HippieChick58 replies on Jul 4, 2018:

@Sheannutt I once dated a guy with two lovely long hair kitties. Both cats were horribly matted and his house smelled like cat urine. There was no date after that.

Have you ever tried speed dating?

As a single musician now and with a life of not very smart financial decision making in my past, one of the things I am not happy to share (But I do) with a woman I am attracted to, is the fact that I have little to offer in the way of material things.

when you feel the urge to snack on something like cake/biscuits/ choc Try a teaspoon of honey stirred into a hot water.?

HippieChick58 replies on Jul 3, 2018:

Not too hot. The enzymes that fight allergies in honey will die at over 110°. I eat a teaspoon of raw local honey every day (well almost) and I have gotten off all allergy meds most of the year. About 5 days in spring I will take Benadryl to calm the sneezies and help me sleep.
