One of our intake questions was "is it a spider or snake bite?" and I said NOPE, never going to Okla if snake and spider bites are so common.

How much food do you have is freezer burnt?

I don't think I've got any that is frezer burnt, but I haven't looked too closely. If I had to move and wanted to empty out the freezer, pantry and fridge..... I probably would want to start two months before, give or take.

I used to stand in a hot shower til the hot ran out. Then we got a tankless water heater, it was like heaven. Then I divorced, and left that house. Now, several years later I try to keep showers as fast as possible. I'm 60 and my skin dries out so quickly. I feel like I need a bath in lotion. Sigh, getting older sucks, but not getting older is not a good option.

I listen to current music as well as almost everything else (not rap). I even listen to country from time to time but there is way too much mention of god, so not often. Usually I find a radio station that is acceptable and listen until they keep repeating a commercial I can't stand. Then I search for another radio station. And in November I change to any station that does not play xmas music frequently, as long as it isn't rap.

When a cherished relationship comes to an end, how do you deal with the profound pain that results?

HippieChick58 comments on Apr 15, 2018:

The end of a relationship is like a death. Except the other person isn't six feet under, he or she is still out there and can swing back and cause you fresh pain. But the process is the same, you grieve. You cry, you get angry, you're sad, you're miserable, and through it all you remember to breathe, until such time and breathing becomes automatic again, and like the tide the pain and grieving recedes. And like the tide then it will all come back washing over you again and you'll be back in the abyss again. And repeat. And you'll eventually be able to move away from the shore and the tides will be harder to reach you. When I divorced my ex I was pretty indifferent to him at that time, I had done most of my grieving before the split. We have children so I still have to see him several times a year. We're amicable. And he usually says something that makes my mouth drop open and I'm reminded what a maroon he is and I'm thankful I went through with the divorce. However, I had a long term relationship post divorce, it ended horribly, my heart was broken. It took some time to get over that, and it helped we had no connections for us to have to keep in touch. Gradually I got all reminders of him out of my life and only sometimes does it still hurt.

I started my "grown up" work life at 18, joining the Army. Not a good fit. Then I got married, got out of the Army and followed my ex around. I was a Stay At Home Mom (and logistics organizer). After raising my kids I went to school and got an AA degree in Health Information Management and entered the job market at menopause as the economy was tanking. It's been a wild ride.

HippieChick58 comments on Apr 12, 2018:

For me it isn't quite that simple. It isn't always easy to control my thoughts, they seem to develop a life of their own, especially when the light are out. When I was in a situation of insecurities (financial/job/housing/etc) then the thoughts were very out of control. There is somewhat less insecurity now, but still don't necessarily have a peaceful mind. I have noticed when I use an herbal supplement that I will still have the thoughts, but they don't seem to linger as long and fewer upsetting thoughts hang around and more amusing or benign thoughts pop in for a few moments. You're lucky if you can turn it off.

I've read that men are more visual, so just watching the action gets men excited. Women need a story line. Porn does not accurately portray what humans want, it appeals to the lowest basic instincts. Porn doesn't appeal to me, erotica does. My expectation of what sex should be were formed before I knew much about porn or erotica. When I was growing up it was Playboy magazine and despite having brothers I "knew" about it but never saw it. Yes, I'm a dinosaur.
