Ladies I have question for you. What do you think about facial hair?

Hazel comments on Mar 17, 2018:

Facial hair can be sexy if it’s looked after. Nicely trimmed and soft is lovely. Beard oil is good and smells nice too. Us ladies are all about things smelling sweetly ?

HippieChick58 replies on Mar 17, 2018:

@Leutrelle look for Beard Balm, it will nourish and soften your beard and keep your skin healthy. I have three bearded SILs (Sons in Law) and I made beard balm for them. Some nourishing oils, some beeswax, some essential oils, and their beards look great. The smell doesn't linger, but the health benefits remain. There are hundreds of websites selling Beard Balm.

@crazycurlz For the most part I enjoy it.

And there is usually an elimination period (no benefits payable), and sometimes they don't have medical documentation to support the disability. Or pre-existing conditions.

I found my garden center, bought my stuff, and got back to the base. I have no idea how I pulled that off.

Which one of your teenage years was the best?

HippieChick58 comments on Mar 9, 2018:

My teenaged years were generally horrible. I had a step witch from age 14, she had a gestapo mindset. She bullied my dad, his greatest mistake ever was remarrying 6 months after my mom died. I could not go anyplace besides work, church, and school without her permission, and she wanted to control my...

@Millie No, she passed on a few years ago. She was married to my dad until he died. She tried to sell us his old reloading supplies, 20+ year old gunpowder when we helped her clean out the house. She may have lived 5 years beyond my dad. My dad was buried next to my mom in our hometown, I don't know where she is buried.

"Never ask a woman her age" and other stupid rules. Who comes up with this nonsense?

HippieChick58 comments on Mar 3, 2018:

Some women get uptight about their age. Not me, I freakin feel every year and I own it proudly. Of course my view is skewed a tad, my mom died at 45, and I am thrilled to have lived past that. Now the rule of not asking a woman if she is pregnant unless you are seeing the baby exit her body is a...

HippieChick58 replies on Mar 5, 2018:

@BlueWave That sounds delish! Yes, I avoid the bread, but I also tend to stay away from meat, at least most of the time. I am not a militant vegetarian, I just choose less, it's cheaper. I also want quick to reheat. I do eat some meat, when my kids come to dinner I cook something with meat. The will be here for dinner on March 15th, and we're having corned beef and cabbage. That will be some yummy leftovers!

So true, and Nixon was a deeply, deeply flawed individual. This guy is pathologic.

HippieChick58 replies on Mar 5, 2018:

I have a friend who is a biographer. She is writing one now about one of Nixon's Secret Service handlers. He was solo with the Nixon's for several years. He is spilling his guts out, Nixon always called his wife Mrs Nixon, he never heard him call her anything else. Nixon has some other "quirks". I'm not sure if that is weirder than Pence or not. When her book comes out I want to get an autographed copy. This woman is brilliant, and an atheist!

@Leutrelle I divide the casserole up to single servings and then freeze them. I usually have three or 4 different casseroles going at a time. So I'm never sure which one is going to be lunch which day. Lunch can be an adventure.

Do you date traditionally?

buck1977 comments on Mar 4, 2018:

Traditional dates and dating environments don't allow the real person to shine through. Which is why I ask women to come over and help me do laundry after our first dinner out.

HippieChick58 replies on Mar 4, 2018:

How is that working for you?

Do you date traditionally?

ShellyBean comments on Mar 4, 2018:

Traditional. It means traditional. You know, going out on several dates and then going from there etc. If you do not date traditionally, how do you date or find someone?

HippieChick58 replies on Mar 4, 2018:

Not to dissect your question (or am I?) but traditions change. Just ask any Jewish matchmaker. When I was younger (I know, back in the really olden days) we waited for a guy to call to ask us out and if you had sex on the first date you were a slut and daddy was gonna polish up the shotgun. Things have changed. Usually I'm meeting what I presume are available men online. We may have some exchange of emails or possibly texting or calling prior to meeting. I prefer to have a discussion with the chosen person and we decide to meet in a public spot, preferably to have a meal. I've had several invitation to Netflix and chill but I'm not going to the home of a person I haven't met face to face. I've had other invitations to skip the dating/meeting and just get down to business. No thanks, but that is my preference. I use online dating sites, the odds of meeting someone my age that isn't a Republican xian are pretty small where I live. At least online I can narrow it down a bit. This is my answer to what I think you asked.
