Has anyone thought about retiring in Costa Rica? I think about it a lot, but can't decide.

Haemish1 comments on May 28, 2019:

I’ve never visited C. R., but heard many nice things about it. I’m not much for heat and humidity either and I’m guessing those occur there from time to time? I can see where the lower cost of living would be attractive (I wish I had more saved for retirement), as well as the climate and scenery. Have you visited, or do you have friends there? I’ve heard that Portugal is an attractive retirement destination too.

There was a post somewhere here a day or so ago that linked to an article which gave 17 as the average age for people in the US.

I'd hit that! lol

Guten Morgen ... right on to today's question: When did you last cry in front of another person?

Haemish1 comments on May 28, 2019:

The last time I cried alone was after my daughter’s high school graduation party in 2017. I can’t remember the last time I cried in front of others.

I like weird people.

Haemish1 comments on May 28, 2019:

A book I found very interesting is Cradle to Cradle by William McDonough. The author’s mantra is waste equals food, wether it’s in nature or the industrial cycle. He envisions starting at the design stage, so that water bottles would be biodegradable and even have a seed inside that would grow after being “tossed out” - farmers should beg for people’s trash to fertilize their land. Cars should be made of high quality materials that can easily be recycled. The book is made of plastic, and designed to be reused as a book - the ink can be washed off and reused as ink! https://www.google.com/search?q=cradle+to+cradle+book&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us=safari

Good morning! Right on to today's question: Share an embarrassing moment in your life.

Haemish1 comments on May 26, 2019:

Here’s my most recent. Last week I went to the optometrist (I’m very nearsighted). After a routine exam, the Dr. said he wanted to try mono vision (where one contact lens is to correct for distance vision, and the other for close up. This sounded good to me since I’m tired of reader glasses for reading anything. The next day, I tried the new lenses for the first time. The right lens went in fine, but for some reason I had trouble with the left (the one to help me see close up). I was expecting a difference with the new lens, but this one seemed as if there was no correction at all. I did some reading that said it can take 2 weeks to adjust to Monovision, so I decided to stick it out for the day. As I was taking out my lenses to go to sleep, I found the left contact on the sink - I’d been without it all day:)

LICKSPITTLE.

Haemish1 comments on May 25, 2019:

That’s just gross when you think about it 😳

Trump want $16 billion to bail out farmers he hurt with his trade war.

Haemish1 comments on May 24, 2019:

It’s even worse - the bailout money won’t be enough to keep family farms solvent. The best I’ve heard is fifty cents on the dollar. Get ready for more farm aid, and corporate farms.

Is everyone having issues logging in?

Haemish1 comments on May 24, 2019:

I suppose I should log out from time to time 🤔

Haemish1 comments on May 23, 2019:

Watching the sunrise over the mountains with a cup of coffee, playing my guitar in an empty room. Leaving North Dakota in the early morning darkness for my days off.

I could use a vacation.

Haemish1 comments on May 23, 2019:

I just finished a 3 day road trip from New York to Montana. My daughter has mentioned a couple times the differences in traveling with her mother and me - she feels less like she has to be an adult with me around. She does get a bit nervous about perceived burning smells from the engine compartment- just like her mom. Definitely no shutdowns or tantrums :)

Washington becomes first state to allow human composting

Haemish1 comments on May 22, 2019:

The wood chips we generated at a timber framing company I used to work for in Montana was given to the county to compost all the road killed animals they collected. Montana seems to have pretty open laws regarding human burial. A friend who died several years ago was simply wrapped in a shroud and lowered into the ground on his skis. The state only needed to know the location of the grave site.

Good morning! Here's today's question: How close and warm is your family?

Haemish1 comments on May 22, 2019:

I’m not particularly close to any of my family, but there’s no animosity either - we just don’t see each other very often. We usually enjoy ourselves when we’re together. My childhood wasn’t too great - dad was an abusive alcoholic. He and my mother were married and divorced twice by the time I reached 7th grade. I always had food, and a roof over my head, but there was never a great “family vibe” either.

My mom spent several years on the fringe of the Bible Belt. My sister claims that mom is pathologically gullible - and the evangelicals certainly got ahold of her.

We met some sustainability activists near our home in Maui.

Haemish1 comments on May 19, 2019:

It’s amazing that the amount of hand work they do can be included. Skills like that aren’t common in the US. Have you read Cradle to Cradle, by William McDonough (sp?). It’s a great book about recycling/sustainability. The book itself is made of plastic- designed to be reused as a book - the ink can be washed off and reused as ink. It changed my thoughts regarding how we live.

have you ever had a sex-related injury?

Haemish1 comments on May 19, 2019:

Not really sure if this counts. I once got some “sympathy” sex after a kick back from a table saw at work narrowly missed the important parts and left a massive black and blue bruise on my inner thigh.
