@Diogenes I tend to quasi vegetarian as well, as far as I am concerned you're welcome here. As for Dow and Monsanto, I regret the purchases I've made from them in the past, and have none of their products now. My last former FIL was a chemical engineer for Monsanto. His brother worked for Dow. Indirectly Monsanto put my kids through college. Today I and the kids regard Monsanto as a huge evil corporation.

Good morning from @MrLizard and me.

I have fewer wrinkles than both my younger sisters who have quite a soda addiction.

HippieChick58 replies on Jun 21, 2018:

@Paul4747 I understand. And trust me, I miss the physical intimacy. But if I put on my profile that I'm interested in sex, I'm going to get attention from men who read that as "easy". I will get dick pics. I will get men that only see the "sex" and don't see the rest of my wants and needs. You may not think of women as whores or saints, but you're an evolved man. Sadly for the baby boom generation you're unusual. True story: I bought a vibrator after I moved here, so in the last 54 years. I put the full color picture carton that it came in in my paper recycling, and the recycling went to the curb the night before trash pick up. The next morning the full picture carton was displayed prominently on a branch they picked up in my yard stuck in the trash can for all the world to see like a fricking flag. Who the fuck does that? I am not and was not embarrassed, I'm pissed that someone would be so childish. Yeah, I want to have a sex life again one day. Celibacy does have one effect that maybe some day a lucky man will get to experience.

HippieChick58 replies on Jun 21, 2018:

@Paul4747 It is partly socialization, partly generational. I assume men are interested in sex, that's what I was told since I was a child. Were you ever told "Why should he buy the cow when he can get the milk for free"? To say that men are interested in sex is like saying you breathe air, it is the default value. If a woman says she in interested in sex there is a voice at the back of my head labeling her as "not a nice girl." I don't think I passed that on to my girls, but it was very ingrained in me. I remember my dad telling me if I got pregnant without being married he'd kick me out of the house. Girls got and still get horribly mixed messages about sex and sexuality. If we admit we like sex we're whores. If we refrain from mentioning then we're prudes or frigid. On one of the dating sites I was messaged by a guy who wanted a date, but he just wanted to sleep with me to get over a break up he had just gone through. What I wanted didn't matter. Funny thing, I'd go bowling with you on a first date. I don't know that I'd take you to my bed though. Does that make sense to you?

@IamNobody You have to accept that nothing is wrong with you, or with me. We just got put on the path less traveled. I just chose to be the best me I could be. I think you have too. I did good with my kids, you did too. I dunno why I'm not finding someone, but I'm going to be me because that is all I can be. I think your hobby is adorkable. My kids would love talking to you. I've never watched GOT, they are huge fans. But be the best you that you can be, and sometimes that has to be enough.

@IamNobody Well, sugar, I feel your pain. I remember who my last date was, I remember where, and I don't remember exactly when. I remember the last male to join me in my bedroom, and I'm thinking it was more than 2 years ago. I don't think I'm unlovable, but I'm batting zero. So I don't know what the hell to tell you except I feel your pain and I'm in the same leaky boat. And I wish to hell I wasn't but what are we gonna do? What I do know is that I am worth the effort, as you are. I'm not going to settle for just anyone, I tried that once. I deserve better, as do you. What I do know is that I am going to continue living my life as I have been, I'm not waiting for Prince Charming, or even Minion Not So Charming. I will do it the best I can and with all the style and grace I can find. If I find someone that will be great. If I don't I will still have lived a full life. I used to ask what the hell is wrong with me that I can't get a date? Now I know there is nothing "wrong" with me, I'm just not everyone's cup of tea. And not everyone is mine. That's OK. I wish I could say I'm not going to lose sleep over it, but after picking this scab off tonight is likely not to be a good night. The one thing that I am for damn certain of is that I am a survivor. I'm going to be OK, and I'm not going to settle. And you will be OK too.

This is something every cat lover should have. LOL

Hobbies and music choices maybe. Names not so much. I grew up a Smith, I love unusual names. Profession, maybe. I probably wouldn't have much in common with someone who works for ICE right now. Ethnicity is not an issue. Race is a human construct and we all bleed red blood.

@FrayedBear I am very pale skinned and I have tons of blue showing through my skin. Yes, a true working class blue blood. I've also got some amazing blue bruises today but that is another story.

My grandmother used to tell me they had always planned on 6 kids, and then the depression hit. My dad was oldest and was born in 1923. Then there were 3 more. I don't know how they handled birth control, I never thought to ask that.

moonmaid comments on Jun 18, 2018:

I kinda feel sorry for kids these days. I have to wonder if they even know what outside is. Certainly they aren't allowed to roam freely as i did.

HippieChick58 replies on Jun 18, 2018:

in 1994 to 1999 we lived next to an wooded area in western Washington state. The HOA had not knocked it down yet to put up houses. The kids would go back there and explore and come home with tons of dirt and stories. They just had a blast. There was a swampy area, they built a fort, they'd catch frogs. Then we moved. That was their favorite part of their childhood.

HippieChick58 replies on Jun 18, 2018:

@IamNobody Sounds like you did a great job with your kids. That says you were an involved dad, and that IS awesome. When your kids look to you as an example that is the best feeling in the world. Your little buddy seems to be about a month older than my little buddy. My belief is that if you are a good parent/grand parent then you have other things going for you. Awesomeness doesn't happen in a vacuum.

I have a friend who just finished up her degree and has started as a therapist recently.

How do you access/search for new posts to comment on?

HippieChick58 comments on Jun 17, 2018:

I check out my notifications first, and post stuff I've found on other sites. Then I look at new member activity. And IF it isn't time to go to work or bed and I have nothing more pressing to do, then I will look at older posts. Yeah, I need to get a life.

@IamNobody How I am awesome. I am a great mom. My kids know when they need me I will drop everything to help out. Yes, I even used PTO after my grandson was born to help out, thank goodness my manager is understanding. I would lay down my life for my kids, I'd give body parts if they needed it.

Have you ever considered the ingredients of toothpaste?

JazznBlues comments on Jun 16, 2018:

I make my own laundry detergent and just gearing up to make super fancy bar soaps. Should probably add tooth paste to that list and maybe dish soap as well. Turning in to a hippy just like my parents.

HippieChick58 replies on Jun 17, 2018:

@Petter Thank you! Learning how to make stuff on my own has been a huge step in my Hippie journey. I can't wait to retire and be able to spend more time making concoctions and buying even less commercial crud.

HippieChick58 replies on Jun 17, 2018:

No baby, it takes two to tango, you both bear responsibility. It didn't work, you tried, now figure out where you went wrong and go forth and live your life. One divorce does not make you a failure, look at ZsaZsa. You are more than your divorce, you are more than your failures. Failure isn't fatal.

@Marcie1974 I feel your pain. I think that day will come that she will appreciate you once again. Don't ever expect an apology though. My youngest is now the mom of a daughter, and I'm waiting for the day when that baby girl gives her mama grief. That will be an awakening.

I'm here to hang out with all my cyber buds and hopefully learn something and help someone. And then there is the satisfaction of also pissing some people off. Hey, life is good.
