I'm no longer on any and haven't been for some time. Too many reasons to avoid them to list them all. I just go do what makes me happy. No need for looking. If someone worthwhile comes along...fine! If not, I'll go on vacation, walk, go out to eat, etc, and do things that I truly want to do.

I've plateaued on leveling. I must not be Atheisting hard enough.

Larimar comments on Sep 13, 2019:

I use a thyroid med that's been around over 100 years. But docs will attempt to tell me that it's unstable, unreliable, and impossible to regulate. They're wrong. Big pharma can't patent it because it's a natural product. (pig thyroid glands) They convince many that synthetics are better. But natural product will keep my bones full of calcium. They'll try to scare folks away from it and I have to fight to remain on the only thyroid med that worked for me. They used to dose folks by cessation of symptoms...now they rely on a subjective blood test using a pituitary hormone as a basis despite the fact that they don't bother to see if there is proper conversion by the body or if there is damage to the pituitary. Because if the pituitary isn't working right or the body doesn't convert correctly....synthetics don't work for shit and that blood test is unreliable.

At the risk of sounding unpatriotic,.

Nope. It's never come up one time. I would just answer, No, I don't need it.

I am so glad to see John Oliver address this issue.

Larimar comments on Aug 26, 2019:

I've had to become my own advocate and read extensively and force certain testing to prove my point many times. Thyroid is more prevalent in women but we're told it's all in our heads, or we're older, or we're mothers, etc. They'd rather write a script for antidepressants. I am fortunate in that it takes high levels of pain for me to feel it but that also causes other problems. Any man telling me there isn't bias is full of S&%$!

So there is a condolence card in the break room for one of my coworkers who’s dad just died.

Nothing wrong with a personal one of your own. Even if it's an email or single card. I've put about that I like doing my own thing.

Well, here I am single again....

Larimar comments on Aug 10, 2019:

Hi everyone.

Larimar comments on Jul 17, 2019:

Had questions for years and pastors always shushed me, asked me to request to speak alone, etc, but never answered any of them. My Lai massacre really kinda did it for me as a kid but I had to keep quiet because of my mom freaking out. I'm ok on my own as an adult. Kinda hard to find dates in my area but not a horrible thing either. Welcome!

Religious indoctrination in public schools.

Larimar comments on Jul 6, 2019:

I'd be very against religious teaching in schools period. How do you know what is being taught is "correct", that's right, YOU DON"T! Lets keep schools and government clean of that bullshit and indoctrination. I can't stop a parent abusing their child by pushing their religious but I sure would not push that on my children and didn't.

Raised religious?

Larimar comments on Jul 4, 2019:

Raised lutheran, my mom still very active and pushy about it. I actually had the highest grade in catechism tests of my age. But even then I had questions and never got any logical answers. I especially remember some section saying women and men should be separated....no answer that really sufficed. The politics really intensified things for me with the push for the putting church into our government. I just couldn't do it anymore. The more I read, even on history....I feel it's better for me.

Does anyone else struggle with hating religion?

Larimar comments on Jun 16, 2019:

I disagree with it but don't hate it. I am more sad than anything for those that require religion to just be a good human being. It's not worth my spending time being angry at it.

2 Weeks on "Plenty Of Fish"

Larimar comments on Apr 28, 2019:

It was to problematic for me to sort out the chaff. And, the fact that I was stalked twice from men on there while they did nothing to help me didn't help. The only thing they would do is refund my money and allow me to leave. This was after I blocked one over ten times and he would just create a new profile to find me and taunt me again. Thankfully, I am intelligent enough to never allow anyone to know my address unless I am very comfortable with them or he'd be at my door. It's different experiences between men and women for certain.

How many members on here are openly atheists in the bible belt? And are you treated differently?

My ex mother in law was horrid while I was married to her son. It was only after divorce that she found out that that which she had accused me of was actually her son. She's been great after that conclusion reached her and that the only contact that she had with her grandchildren post divorce was by my meeting her halfway and pushing her rights to have them on some holidays and other visits. He was actually angry that she and I went behind his back and arranged that. The kids are grown and she remains in contact with me..
