HippieChick58 replies on Feb 25, 2018:

@David1955 my dog loved adults and liked to lean against them. Kids he pretty much ignored unless they had food. I never let the dog offleash around other people, and he was only offleash in safe areas. But I know what you mean about dogs going after you because you are there. I was attacked by chihuahuas when I was growing up, just walking home from school. Why that woman let the dogs out when the kids were walking by escapes me, but i started kicking at them, damn nippy little freaks. To this day I loathe Chihuahuas.

@jorj Do you wrap your whopper every time you have sex with a woman? Do you take every step possible to prevent conception? If you are "hoping" that she won't get pregnant you're fooling yourself. Unless you are actively preventing pregnancy you are leaving yourself open to pregnancy happening. If you don't want a baby created without your full consent then get a vasectomy, which may be wise if alcohol frequently prevents you from using good judgement. Or as my daddy told my brothers, don't have sex with a woman you don't want to make a baby with.

My late former father in law used to say "I was down one day and someone told me to cheer up as things could be worse. So I cheered up, and sure enough things got worse." However, every day I have to get out of bed and go face crabby people, and so far every day I have chosen to be happy about it. I am employed and my manager is fantastic and my company provides decent benefits, and I'm not working outside in the cold. So to anyone who meets me I'm reasonably happy. Could I be happier, oh hell yes. But I choose gratitude, I choose happiness, I choose to look on the bright side, else why go on?

What's the best way to get into a woman's heart (if ya know what I mean).

Uncorrugated comments on Feb 24, 2018:

Treat her with dignity and respect as an equal. Try not to to interrupt. Accept gracefully, the fact that she is always right. And don't send unsolicited dick pics. Ever. Here to help! ;-)

I always dream in color..and remember them as well..anyone else?

Presley1209 comments on Feb 24, 2018:

I dream in color as well, I remember most of my dreams which are so bizarre at times it affects my mood when I wake up.

HippieChick58 replies on Feb 24, 2018:

That just triggered a memory. When I was pregnant with my youngest (she is now 26) I had a very vivid dream, in full color. In my dream she was already born and I was wrapped in blankets in our family room, I was nursing her and she pooped all over everything. Her father was in the doorway and I asked him to take her and change her, and he ran away laughing! I was so angry with him, and woke up immediately. Had he been in the bed with me I'd have slugged him, and I was angry with him for the rest of the day.

Does this look familiar?

Where is your favorite place to shop?

Fearlessfreep comments on Feb 24, 2018:

Local game shops. New and used book stores. The various "lumberyards". Does anyone call them lumberyards anymore? And Amazon of course. I love how friendly the check out guy is there.

HippieChick58 replies on Feb 24, 2018:

In my neck of the woods there are still lumberyards. Some go by the term hardware stores. If I say Lumberyard to my son in law (he is in construction) he will say Menards.

Is it wise to get back with an ex?

Highway-Starr comments on Feb 24, 2018:

One of my favorite sayings and a source of great motivation for me these days is 'nothing changes....if nothing changes'. So, what has changed to not make a reunion with your ex a 'same song - different verse' scenario? Avoid the nonsense in the poems about following your heart: it just might lead ...

The flip side of your favorite saying is one of my favorite sayings, if nothing changes then everything stays the same.

HippieChick58 comments on Feb 22, 2018:

tonight if someone told me I was vibrant I'd probably cry and wonder what they heck they're smoking. And then ask for some. But on a normal day, yeah I have my moments and I'd just smile bigger and say thanks. Vibrant is not a matter of youth. I think we get more vibrant as we age. We get wiser,...

Paper plates are not earth friendly and expensive. I'd love a dog, but not home enough. Maybe after I retire. I had a dog, he was a great dishwasher! My cats are pretty good, but picky little darlings. As it is, for just me, the dishwasher is run at most 3 times a week. I am a pro at loading to the max, and have plenty of dishes. I'm not so keen on unloading, but it gets done.

AR15 or the like of high powered automatic weapons that were used in the recent school shooting. One meant for creating mayhem and killing as many people as possible in as short a time as possible. Meant for warfare not for hunting.

He has two cats of his own, he knew what he was doing :) I had a dog when my kids were young, I taught him hand signals. If I touched my ear he'd bark. He was essentially a 4th child, just one that didn't go to school.

HippieChick58 replies on Feb 21, 2018:

When my daughters were growing up we had both a cat and dog. The dog was the son I never gave birth to, a golden retriever. He was the BEST DOG EVER. He was cowed by my tiny 3 pound kitten. She'd groom him, that was a wicked hairball. I wanted to implant a recording device in the dog because my troubled child told him all her troubles. That would have saved me some time and energy, but I found out anyway. My oldest is trying to convince her new husband that they need a golden. He has two cats, and he's not sure on the dog thing, They have a baby coming in May. So girls do have the dogs, and guys do have cats. I love my kitty girls because they are OK with my crazy hours. When I retire I want to get a dog.
