Self proclaimed gypsy. Used to love to travel and visit places I'd never been to...of late, tho - I have discovered the contentment of simply staying put. My home - inside - and the gardens outside - make me quite happy these days. Now have the time to cook the way I like to. I'd say I was a typical "Scorpio" - kind of private and fiercely loyal.... and love to know what makes people tick.

Anybody watch "Leah Remini, Scientology and the Aftermath"?
Lavergne comments on May 29, 2018:
Yes - the show is great and I hope they continue to chip away at the whole scientology bag of crap. They are no better than any of the Jim Jones types of cults - only difference is they have managed to accumulate so much wealth and with that wealth comes power and access to the type of people who can give them a great deal of cover and protection. Really do feel sorry for the kids caught up in this....

Lavergne comments on Oct 12, 2018:
Awww........so sorry to hear that. We had two Himalayans (sisters) and one made it to just shy of 20 and the other one is still kicking....I can tell she is definitely declining but not in any pain and still loves to cuddle and love on me. Just enjoy her company for whatever time she has left...
HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH AND HOW SOON IS TOO SOON?
Lavergne comments on Aug 21, 2020:
Absolutely not....what's past is supposed to be left in the past. You actually gave her the perfect response when you acknowledged that such past behavior might not be conducive to a healthy relationship going forward. It should have been a clear indication where your head/heart is today. That whole "I was testing you" thing.......total BS. IMHO
How do you deal with Door-knockers?
Lavergne comments on Jun 18, 2018:
We have always been as polite - but short - as possible. Since we moved up here to the TN mountains, we have had them come by - usually groups of two or three men - until a couple of years ago. It was early in the morning when the doorbell rang and while I was struggling to open the door while containing a 100 lb German Shepherd, I had a slight "wardrobe malfunction". I don't know who was more embarrassed -- me or them. They skedaddled pretty fast and we didn't have any more visits for about 2 years - now they've started up again but they're sending the women now! ;) ;)
I just know someone on this site will say we did not evolve from apes.
Lavergne comments on Jul 2, 2019:
No - some haven't. We seemed to have "peaked" and are now on the downhill slide backwards. Not all - but enough to make me wonder how it came to this.... :(
It has been awhile

Brett Kavanaugh Vote Will Drive Political Backlash If History Is Guide | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC ...
Lavergne comments on Oct 6, 2018:
I'm hoping that once Kavanaugh (unfortunately) gets confirmed, a lot of the GOP voters who would have voted in the midterms because they were all fired up will become complacent and feel they've "won"......and not bother to vote. ;)
My Least Favorite Thing in the Garden You don't have to guess: it is pruning and trimming the ...
Lavergne comments on Apr 14, 2019:
In SC, I had a number of the red barberry - and they grew like wildfire and scratched the hell out of me every year as I pruned to keep them healthy and in a pleasing shape. So I swore I would never plant them again. hahahahah. Of course, I put a couple in the ground up here - but the growing season is so much shorter, I am not having any problems with them "overgrowing"...and if you think they are prickly - I inherited a couple of Leather Leaf Mahonias with this house. Don't accidently back up into one of those....ayayayayayay ;)

Lavergne comments on Jan 29, 2019:
That's wonderful.....you are truly lucky to have a family like that.
Did you ever see yourself as a loner, but then realized you're not the loner you thought you were?
Lavergne comments on Jan 18, 2019:
I totally get what you are saying.....post divorce for most women is a period of time when we sort of "pull inward". Time for healing, introspective thinking and prioritizing the things in our life. It is completely normal that you would have seen your life in the terms you described above. BUT - there comes that time when the scab is beginning to fall off and you realize that you actually do miss the interaction of friends in your life. So you will now just need to figure out how best to weave the "people" into the fabric of your new life. :) ;)
Something to think about

It's amazing how quickly a certain part of the population of this country can become numb and disaffected to the point where he really could shoot someone and Sean Hannity would say "well - the victim was probably engaged in something illegal or criminal so its not realllllly a crime". ?????? Just unbelievable.
There Is A Difference Between Dating and Courting | Sugardaddie.com
Lavergne comments on Oct 20, 2018:
I think it all boils down to chemistry....its either there or it isn't. If it's there, then good manners and breeding will dictate how fast or slow things move along. Some people are simply more sexual/sensual creatures so things can heat up between them very quickly. Others like to set a slower pace - or as you called it "a courtship period". Different strokes.....
I'm sure you've all run across this before.
Lavergne comments on Aug 21, 2020:
Society. For creating an environment that not only allowed but condoned loveless, arranged marriages For having its citizens be so poor, despite working hard to make a living, that they would put money before the needs of another human being. For creating such a climate of paranoia and subjugation among the citizenry that independent thought and rational judgment didn't exist. For allowing the mentally ill to wander freely and terrorize (and possibly kill) anyone who happened to cross their path. (just havin' a little fun here..... ;) ;)

Totally agree with your philosophy. Cooking, baking and gardening have kept me sane (relatively) and probably out of jail for many years. When I'm pissed about something, I dig a hole and plant something beautiful - or bake a cake, etc etc. :)
May as well have been Interviewer: Brett, how was the chicken?
Lavergne comments on Sep 25, 2018:
That interview was a (bad) joke. If he really wanted to give the American people a chance to hear him - he wouldn't have given that interview on Fox News. He would have gone on Rachel Maddow's show - but then, of course, she would have asked him questions he didn't really want to answer. What a putz....(or the other P word)

The first holiday season (Thanksgiving thru New Year's Eve) that we spent away from family and friends was as festive as I could make it - my husband said he wasn't used to holidays being quiet like that and he seemed a little disappointed. Now- some 30 plus holiday seasons later, he complains if he has to see anyone - go anywhere, etc etc. ????? If I ever needed a reason to simply "carry on" and not listen to the complaining from the peanut gallery, this seems like one. :) ;)

This is a fable that my father told us once when I was around 11 .
Lavergne comments on Jan 23, 2020:
The person who gives without expecting anything in return will ultimately be the better for it.....but, admittedly, it is a rather hard path to walk at the time. We try to take such good care of the people we love - and sometimes have to wonder why they can't see that ....and why they don't reciprocate in kind. Here's what I've learned: some people are givers and some are takers. They're hard wired that way - and its very difficult to change them. So take a deep breath and ask yourself - are you better off with them in your life....or not? The answer might surprise you. ;)

I’m not sure if this is an ageism thing or not and would welcome your opinions.
Lavergne comments on Apr 27, 2019:
I read yours - and I thought you were simply expressing your thoughts about how deeply rooted feelings and beliefs can surface from time to time - even tho the "logical" part of our brain doesn't process them in the same manner as when we were younger - it doesn't mean that they are not still there. I can't even begin to understand why anyone would feel the need to make any brutal or ugly or just plain insensitive comments in response to your thoughts. I have not seen the other one - so I can't comment on that - will look for it later today.

Dating after 50
Lavergne comments on Apr 14, 2018:
I think you are 100% correct in your observations. I've often said the same thing about the gay friend - that really would be ideal. ;) Sad to say, women over 50 do have a hard time because men that age are all looking for 35 yr old women. I don't blame them - I'm sure having a younger, attractive, vivacious partner at that time in their lives puts a little spring in their step....just kinda sad that a 50 year old woman gets called a cougar and mocked if she ends up dating a 35 yr old man. The more things change......the more they stay the same.
45 is going to do something really desperate, and really dangerous, to US.
Lavergne comments on Jan 25, 2019:
yeah - he's itching to do the national emergency thing......and if the airports start to shut down - that is exactly the catalyst he's looking for.
