What were your best and worst birthday gifts?

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 4, 2020:

Worst birthday gift. I don't know if it was a gift or not, but my 19th birthday was a trip to the gas chamber. Gas Mask training in Army Basic Training at Ft. Jackson, SC. My mom died when she was 45, so I have considered every birthday over 45 to be the best ever. Now that I have grands they are even more special.

If you hit the deer head on you might not be able to continue driving. I've read some really horrific accounts of car/deer collisions, one while I lived in KS, not only killed the deer but the mom and dad in the front seat with three kids in the back seat. Those kids will likely need more than three years of therapy.

Eudaimonia (noun) The contented happy state you feel when you travel.

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 2, 2020:

Eu means good. I think Eudaimonia means more than just travel, it generally means flourishing. For Aristotle, eudaimonia was achieved through living virtuously – or what you might describe as being good. This doesn't guarantee 'happiness' in the modern sense of the word. In fact, it might mean doing something that makes us unhappy, like telling an upsetting truth to a friend. Virtue is moral excellence

Since the title of this section is "Love & Relationships" this is the place for this post.

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 1, 2020:

No, I don't think it is the reason for the high divorce rate in the US. There are so many factors, that would be one of the minor ones in my humble opinion. Sometimes people confuse what type of love they are in. I will never love a man like I love my grands, and whereas I love my kids enough to take a bullet for them, I love the grands enough to make an effort to intercept that bullet before it gets close to them. Part of it, I think, is wishful thinking. If I tell you I love you, then it will come true. And part of it is convincing yourself that this is "the one" because you're actually sick of the searching process. And face it, those of us over 60 have had a different upbringing than most of the population. To the younger folks it might not be a big deal. To me, it is a big deal. I'm not going to say it until I am sure of it and that it is safe to say it. I think "love at first sight" is likely lust, just your hormones talking.

I would like to think I am much like my mom, she was sweet, and gentle. I'm not, but we had different lives. She was a good mom, creative, and liked to work with her hands, as my sister and I do. My sister has her sweetness and gentleness. Mom died when I was 14. I am not like my dad, for that I am grateful. The dad I knew as an adult was different than he was when I was a kid. My mom's death and his remarriage changed him in a not good way. He was abusive when I was a child, as was not uncommon for the '60s. At the end of his life he was just an unhappy blustering old man.

I divorced him finally because I wasn't willing to play second fiddle to his xian hymnal website. He's still with her. When I was first single I was amazed at the number of men that just wanted a woman, and many of them seemed to want a mama for the minor children. Hard no. Definitely not worth the price of admission. I need someone that I actually have things in common with. The guy I dated that had not read a book since HS was also a hard no. Someone who does nothing aside from working and watching TV is a hard no, and of course any conservative xian is a don't even go there. I'm in the northern suburbs of the buy bull belt, I will be single for the rest of my life.
