@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.

HippieChick58 replies on Jun 18, 2018:

@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

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.

@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.

That is similar to my recipe which came from:https://pistachioproject.com/2018/02/remineralizing-and-whitening-tooth-powder.html Remineralizing and Whitening Tooth Powder 4 tbs. calcium carbonate 2 tbs. bentonite clay 1.5 tbs. xylitol (finely ground, I run mine through the blender) 1 tbs. peppermint leaf powder (buy or process dried peppermint in a coffee grinder) 1/2 tbs. diatomaceous earth 1 tsp. activated charcoal Directions: Mix all ingredients in bowl using non-metal utensil. Transfer to clean container with lid. To Use: Lightly wet toothbrush and dip into toothpowder. Tap off excess. Brush as normal. I morphed it with another recipe and add peppermint essential oil, and other essential oils as I feel would work. I ran a breakdown of the cost and it is cheaper than tubed toothpaste and I reuse my containers.

HippieChick58 replies on Jun 17, 2018:

Divorce is hard on the kids no matter what age. My youngest was Jr in HS, and lived with me in an apartment post divorce. After her Sr year she moved back with her dad and did not handle letting me know well at all. The two older girls were in college and post grad. Eventually they all lived with their dad as adults, and got to know him well, and swore they'd never do that again. We are now right at 10 years post divorce, the kids are my allies. We do family holidays so I see the ex and we're amicable but not cozy. The kids have a realistic adult view of their dad and they also tell me I should have bailed 10 years earlier, but hindsight is 20/20. And they're also right, but that isn't what I was raised to do. So if you're still reading, my point in the ramble is to wait it out. Time is a great healer and as they mature they will come around. They will remember they need their mom.

I saw lights from the living area, and I got my bat out of my closet. I'm so glad I did not call 911 on my Robovac. It only runs while I'm up, and I've never had a cat accident that I didn't catch before Roscoe ran. One of the cats like to box with Roscoe, which I think is why his cleaning was delayed.

@Petter OMG!! I understood what you said!! My computer illiteracy has some cracks! I'm a good user, but not so good at setting new stuff up. I usually rely on my kids to tell me what to buy and where to plug it in.

Why would someone do this?

HippieChick58 replies on Jun 16, 2018:

The clothes don't look homeless and heck, razors are expensive. And if you're homeless don't you have higher priorities? And yes, this is from someone who doesn't own a razor of any kind.

@benhmiller My opinion is that there is no such thing as an illegitimate child. There are plenty of illegitimate parent, though. That child did not ask to be born and should bear no discrimination for what s/he cannot control.

Something from the rabbinic tradition (Dr. Ruth recently said it comes from the Talmud), there's a saying "Nothing good comes from a [boner]." IOW, once things have gotten there, common sense has left the room. My daughter – who presently has no interest in boys – was told by her doctor that ...

HippieChick58 replies on Jun 15, 2018:

I'd be finding a new doctor toot sweet, and I'd make sure the office knew why I was leaving. When we told our doctor we wanted BCP for painful periods she gave us all the options including the non BCP options. Dysmenorrhea is a painful condition that can be controlled without taking girls out of commission for a week every month. Which is one of the reasons I will not choose a male doctor, they have no idea what it is like to be a woman.

Is it OK to lie on your profile in order to get a date?

Tejas comments on Jun 14, 2018:

Depends on the lie. Most of someones life is none of your business. If it is something just get someone to bed i don't see the harm, if it was a lie that hurt someone physically or financially in any way then thats a little different

HippieChick58 replies on Jun 14, 2018:

Wow. In my book the lie just to get someone into bed is about the worst lie of all. Thanks for being so open about that.

Is it OK to lie on your profile in order to get a date?

educatedredneck comments on Jun 14, 2018:

Are we including lies of omission? A lot of information should private and only shared with those we trust. Some people are really nutty about "lying". I'll tell my sister I ran 5 miles but my GPS says I ran 4.7 or 5.5 miles, she considers that deliberate lying and I think that's too much BS....

HippieChick58 replies on Jun 14, 2018:

4.7 or 5.5 vs 5 miles is splitting hairs. However lying about your employment status, marital status, or legal status is big stuff. If your profile says single and I find out you're not, I will be out the door and on my way.

HippieChick58 replies on Jun 14, 2018:

@JustKip Well, I'm real, I have hips... I also am a tree hugging, recycling, peace loving, open minded, tolerant, DIY with natural ingredients only, child of the earth. So, JustKip, you've done the easy work of forgiving your brother. Now do the hard part of forgiving yourself for being human. It is human to hold grudges, to wait. We don't ever see that there might not be time to do important things like repair relationships. Let go of the guilt sweetie. It is a burden you don't need to carry. Forgive yourself, love yourself. As for plans. What do you really want to do, or where do you want to go? What makes your heart happy, what is in your bucket list? What will you be sad you didn't do when you face your own death? What is it that is important to you, that makes you who you are? Make plans sweetie, or life will pass you by and you will die without having lived. Take a chance!

Since I've led a pretty colorful life, there probably isn't much left that I haven't already done in the bedroom. Driving a tank is on my bucket list but I don't necessarily want to do that in the bedroom when I have the option of driving it over some crashed cars.

@Donto101 As I said, I live alone. But really, soap and water are the miracle drug. Geeze. Actually I learned about adding urine to the compost heap from my late former father in law. He was a chemical engineer and a South Texas farm boy. My suggestion to keep peace in your home is to find a dedicated urine container that will never be used for any other liquid.

I firmly believe kids need more activity time, more PE, more running, games, monkey bars, and just blowing steam off. Most little kids are not ready to spend the day at desks. Our schools are designed to turn out little corporate drones. When school increase PE time they notice better grades, better attitudes and better kids.
