A bird? Bad cat... Human hypocrisy.

HippieChick58 comments on Feb 1, 2020:

When I was a teenager my cat was let in the house and the door opener did not notice the bird in her mouth. I was sick in bed, and she hopped up on my bed to proceed to enjoy her fruits of her labor. I didn't mind so much she got a bird, I DID mind where she wanted to eat it. I had to call for reinforcement as I was in no shape to deal with it. Kitty girl was supremely pissed off to be denied her capture.

How old is too old?

HippieChick58 comments on Jan 27, 2020:

I grew up not especially religious, default Xian because we weren't Jewish or Catholic. As an Army wife the chapel community offered lots of support and other young moms for friendship and companionship. I bought in for a while. I always had that WTF moment, but I needed support, especially far from home with small children. It was also keeping my marriage together. When I knew positively that the marriage was dying I also took a hard look at the Xian concepts, and realized that was a whole bunch of what was wrong. My ex is still sucked into that especially conservative xian crap. I tried to maintain the church connection as a single mature female, but most churches are not welcoming of single mature female adults. That was awakening. The movie ZeitGeist and a few other helpful sites, and I hung out my atheist flag. My adult kids said "about damn time." As for your folks, old habits are really hard to break, and they likely find comfort in their beliefs. Also check what reinforcement they're getting. Faux News is especially toxic.

Why energy drinks are worse for you than coffee of soda pop

HippieChick58 comments on Jan 24, 2020:

I have never been a fan of coffee or any sodas. I don't deal well with carbonated beverages, never have. I used to drink the 5 hour energy drinks but decided they were too expensive. I do drink gallons of water a day, I figure I'm getting extra steps with the potty runs. If I need the pick up I pop caffeine pills. Sometimes I have coffee with enough cream and sugar I can gag it down.I had an overdose of caffeine at a very bad time once, I went over 36 hours without sleep and an ER trip, I had a really erratic heartbeat not to mention it mimicked a panic attack. Lesson learned.I tend to avoid anything with ingredients I cannot pronounce, and I have a big vocabulary. As close to the way it comes from nature is my motto, consume less from factories. I think it is healthier and saves a crap ton of money.

I met a promising-sounding one for lunch today.

HippieChick58 comments on Jan 24, 2020:

Why the hell should you NOT be receiving SS? We've paid into it our whole lives. As to not representing him or herself, I dated a guy who claimed to be 5'6". If he was 4'10" I'd be surprised. That has happened more than once, but never someone who was that short. We want to be seen in the best light. If we are totally truthful we might not get dates, and if we fudge then it might be one date only. I'd rather err on the side of truthfulness.

How can you give a cat a bath without getting her wet?

HippieChick58 comments on Jan 24, 2020:

I remember as a child (age 9 or so) our old Tom got really dirty. Dad told my youngest older brother, younger sister and I to give him a bath. Yeah right... So we found the old baby bath, partially filled it. Sis grabbed the front feet, I grabbed the back, and brother lifted the cat into the tub. Poor old Nikko! Once we got him in the tub the three of us got him washed up. He was pretty used to be manhandled by kids, we were 3 of 6.

HippieChick58 comments on Jan 23, 2020:

I don't think it is necessarily that the "good" ones are taken because what is good for me will likely be horrible for you. I think it is just that we aren't the right person for those that we're meeting, and that's ok. Better to be alone than unhappily connected to someone. Life is too short for that.

Just got a phone call from my NH friend of 25 years Traci.

HippieChick58 comments on Jan 22, 2020:

That reminds me of the old question, "what would you do today if you knew it was your last day alive?? How do you know it isn't?" Make your peace with everyone around you, apologize where needed. Tell those you love that you love them, forgive those that have hurt you. Resolve your regrets and be thankful when you wake up in the morning. Ever since age 45 I have been thankful to still be here. My mom died at 45. I am now 62. I tell my kids all the time how much I love them and how proud I am of them. I cherish the time I have with the grands, my mom didn't ever get to meet any of her grandchildren. I don't think I bear any grudges towards anyone, however there are a whole bunch of people I don't trust very much, most of them I work with. I can live with that, if I died today they'd advertise my job within hours if not minutes. Always ask yourself will this matter 5 years from now. If not, don't sweat the small stuff.

And dear and fear for bear and pear. And then there's dose and rose and lose -- Just look them up -- and goose and choose. And cork and work and card and ward, And font and front and word and sword. And do and go, then thwart and cart. Come, come, I've hardly made a start. A dreadful language?

OOOOHHHHH dear dawg! I did a chicken pox playdate of sorts... I knew the kid had chicken pox and we went to Thanksgiving dinner at their house anyway. My kids were almost 2, 5, and 9. The 5 year old was sick two weeks later. Two weeks later on Christmas Eve day the grandparents were visiting and we went to the Children's Museum in Seattle (it was packed!), and then to Ivar's for dinner. The oldest say"my belly itches" and I pulled up her shirt to find the first pox. The youngest got up the next morning and looked like she got hit by a truck. Poor little mite was so sick. Then she came down with RSV, then bronchitis, and then pneumonia. She had been scheduled for surgery (ear tubes) in February, but that got kicked back until she recovered. She was sick for nearly 2 months. Would I do that again, OH HELL NO! Chicken pox can wreak all sorts of havoc on children as well as adults. Lets just vaccinate and get avoid them all together. Chicken pox are most contagious the 24 hours before the break out, so can you imagine the number of children and adults we likely exposed? Oy vey. This was 1994, we've learned so much since then.

HippieChick58 comments on Jan 12, 2020:

In all the years I have shared my home with cats I have always fed canned cat food in the morning, and dry available for free feeding throughout the day. My girls were started with Trader Joe's Tuna cat food. And then TJ stopped selling it. So I've tried the other TJs foods, and they did not seem to care for it. So I tried the Friskies from the grocery store, and mixed results. Miss Zelda eats anything and plays with the dry food. Miss Xena doesn't seem to eat any of the canned stuff, but will eat the dry, she also looks like she has lost some weight which is not a problem. The girls used to race me to the kitchen in the morning and dive into the canned food as soon as I set it down. Now they might race me to the kitchen, but they wander off when I set the food down. They're not starving so I'm not worried, but a bit annoyed with TJs.

OK, I wish most drivers to hell, especially during rush hour. But when you put that label out there you're saying you're called to a higher standard, and if you do that and don't meet the standard ALL THE TIME then everyone judges you, including so called xians who don't label their cars. Same as someone wearing a cross. I work with so many people that wear a necklace or other jewelry that marks them as xian, and the shit they do or say. The attitude is "we're forgiven" and mine is you're just stupid and gullible and using far too much oxygen. .... my goodness, how is that for a morning rant.

A few months after she passed I got Xena, and about 10 months later I got Zelda. I love my girls, but they're not Miss Millie. Miss Millie will forever be the ultimate heart cat. Give yourself time to mourn, and then get another baby that needs you. My house just isn't my home without a kitty, or two.

I once answered all their damn questions. And I even got to propose some new questions. Wow that was long ago. If I ever rejoined I wouldn't do it again.

I'm not sure if it is lack of spelling ability, lack of typing skill, or lack of caring.

I love my kitties, but my kids are going to be taking care of me in my old age. The kitties will be largely decorative.

I've knitted four afghans in the last month or so.

Needlepoint, books, cross stitch, books, jigsaw puzzles, books, binge Netflix while you knit, crochet, needlepoint or cross stitch. And SLEEP! Winter is for hibernation.

Anyone doing something for themselves in 2020?

I use Goodreads, I read 41 books last year. I belong to a secular book club which accounts for about a third of the books. I love to use the library, I like books to be shared, I'm also damn cheap. I also crochet, I have an afghan in progress for my 31 year old daughter, and I've just started teaching her to crochet. Her sisters learned at a younger age, but she had no interest until very recently, now she is hooked. I have a quilt in progress that I would like to get done this year. My only other goal is to break the sugar addiction again and take off the weight I've gained since I started my job last March. I have one more family birthday in 2 weeks. After that, the sugar goes.

This is also the 12th day of Xmas, and according to the Xian calendar the day the Magi visited the baby (Epiphany). It is a holiday in Germany. I thought it was a PITA that they closed gas stations when I was traveling to visit friends on my birthday.
