HippieChick58 comments on Nov 21, 2020:

I am currently 9.5. I don't expect to see 10 for a couple of years at least. I am here because of the community, it keeps me sane. I'm 9.5 because I am opinionated and verbose, and I've been here almost 2 years. One of the first people to reach level 9 got burned out and left the community. CutieBeauty has shot up like a rocket, but I've seen less of her recently. I am sure two babies are keeping her busy. I have not noticed that my points have ever dropped, but I don't track it that closely. The points are nice, but I'd be here without them. And you're correct, no one has earned level 10 yet. If your goal is points, post more. I value the conversations and camaraderie.

For me, Trumper and Friend are oxymorons. I don't think I have any true friends that support Dumpsterfire Donnie. If they do they are way low under the radar. Yes, I've lost "friends" over the past 4 years. I don't miss them.

What's your attitude about eating?

HippieChick58 comments on Nov 18, 2020:

I used to eat chocolate when I was stressed, or happy, or lonely, or whatever. It was my drug of choice. In the past few years I have gone mostly vegetarian, and this year I have had to give up chocolate, sugar, and caffeine because it causes anxiety. I can see changes in my resting heart rate and stress levels on my fitness watch when I consume those items. I usually sit in front of the computer when I eat, but this week I have chosen to read while I eat lunch. I keep only healthy and real foods in the house. I need to lose some weight before I retire. I discovered recently that Medicare Supplements can cost more if you are overweight, if they don't deny you the coverage. Plus my knees are bothering me. And my back. I turn 63 in January, so I've got two years to get to 'normal' weight. I don't know if I've ever been 'normal' weight since I was 4.

Good Evening All!!!! Worked today.

I think we need to go into lockdown. Get the breeders out of the schools, yes all the kidlets. I WFH now and love it. My daughter's new job has her in the office and she has now had 3 covid tests because of coworkers coming down with the virus. Lets all go WFH when we can, back to essential employees in the offices as it was. More jobs need to make changes to keep workers safe. We need a short term UBI (uniform basic income) for all so we can stay home to stay safe. Our hospitals are FULL. If we wait too long we will pass the point of no return, if we haven't already.

HippieChick58 comments on Nov 16, 2020:

Whether or not I get the Covid vaccine will depend on what I hear from the local hospitals. UNMC (University of Nebraska Med Center) is on the forefront of epidemiology and research. Some of the first covid patients from the cruise ships were brought to Nebraska to be quarantined and treated. If UNMC says get the vaccine I will still wait as long as possible to see how others react to it.

I'm on the edge of the neighborhood, the other side of the block is another neighborhood, the homes are all bigger and a good $100,000 to $150,000 more expensive. My street had Biden signs and Love is Love is Love, the other side of the block had Trump and Blue Lives Matter signs. With working and the weather changing I have not walked very much, maybe I will take a drive. I'd love to have a way to rub it in, but I think time will take care of that.

HippieChick58 comments on Nov 14, 2020:

The article says "The move, which was first reported by the New York Times, has distressed top campaign officials and other advisers, who worry Giuliani's Hail Mary ploys will damage Trump's reputation and potentially harm his future political aspirations." So my question is: can Donnie Dumpsterfire's reputation be damaged any further and oh please dear Dawg let it harm his future political aspirations. In fact, let it kill them deader than a doornail. Let that stamp out any embers that may still be smoldering.

HippieChick58 comments on Nov 8, 2020:

Relieved! And thrilled to see history being made. I am a mom of all daughters, with one granddaughter here, one on the way and the possibility of a third in the spring. In my lifetime I've seen so many changes for the good for women. My dad would not let me go to college in 1976, he would have had to sign the paperwork and he said no way in hell. He did sign my enlistment papers though. I clearly remember when women could finally get credit cards in their own name or sign mortgages. (My aunt never married, she had a house built in 1963, her dad had to be her cosigner. She had a decent job, she was 35 years old, and she still had to have her dad's signature.) I remember the first woman to go to a military academy. I remember the first women general and flag officers, and the first women astronauts. Then to once again have an educated president who can speak in coherent full sentences, and cares for people. No, Joe was not my first pick, but he is 100% better than Donnie Dumpsterfire. Well, anyone would have been better than Donnie Boy. To be 100% honest, I've never liked Donnie. I remember reading about him for years and years before he really became famous, and I've always thought he was a huge waste of oxygen. It hasn't gotten better with time. I think the next few weeks will be "interesting," but knowing there is a light at the end of the tunnel makes it more bearable.
