However, I've lived in Japan, Germany, Washington State, Maryland, Virginia, Louisiana, Kansas, Missouri, and Illinois, not in that order. I will stay here are long as my kids and grands are nearby. If they move, I'm moving in with them. That should pretty well prevent them from ever moving!

When I was a christian I asked where the hell is god when I need help. And then I figured out there was no god and I'd have to do it on my own and have been moving in that direction ever since. God doesn't provide as there is no god and once you figure that out you'll be on the right path.

HippieChick58 comments on Aug 13, 2019:

I think education is needed. Too many people are willfully ignorant and convinced they are doing gawd's work by all the BS that is happening. The Neo Nazis are not mentally ill, they are carefully trained to be damn proud of their white skin and intolerance. It has always been there, it is just now socially acceptable because of the current administration. I think the loss of the Fairness Doctine has allowed TV stations to pander to the lowest element of society and inflame their perceived loss of status as the fault of the poor and disenfranchised rather than where it is truly coming from the rich and greedy. No, it is not a mental health issue.

I wonder if the reporting feature is working properly. I was one of if not the Reporter and recipient of said pornography. I did notice the automatic blocking feature didn't work, every time I've reported someone before they were also blocked and removed from my in box. I notice he is still there. I tried to report it again, and the box kept popping up again every time I sent. So @admin @sitesupport is the report feature working properly? Also is it explicit in the Community rules that sending uninvited pornography is not tolerated? As Justice Stevens once said, he knows what fits the "shorthand description" of "hard-core pornography" when he sees it, that fits my description of pornography.

If they ever print them and send them to the grands I'd rather not that the babies didn't know Grammy says those words, but Grammy won't back down and I'm sure they will be proud of Grammy for sticking to her guns! And for those babies with their moms and auntie, they have some fierce role models and especially with Auntie, they're going to hear those words sooner then their folks would like.

What America’s gun fanatics won’t tell you - MarketWatch

HippieChick58 comments on Aug 12, 2019:

And there’s a reason absolutely no gun extremist will ever direct you to that 1788 essay because it blows their baloney into a million pieces. A “well-regulated militia” didn’t mean guys who read Soldier of Fortune magazine running around in the woods with AK-47s and warpaint on their faces. It basically meant what today we call the National Guard. It should be a properly constituted, ordered and drilled (“well-regulated”) military force, organized state by state, explained Hamilton. Each state militia should be a “select corps,” “well-trained” and able to perform all the “operations of an army.” The militia needed “uniformity in … organization and discipline,” wrote Hamilton, so that it could operate like a proper army “in camp and field,” and so that it could gain the “essential … degree of proficiency in military functions.” And although it was organized state by state, it needed to be under the explicit control of the national government. The “well-regulated militia” was under the command of the president. It was “the military arm” of the government.

Sadly it didn't say much, and one of the big things it didn't say is SCAMMERS. I've met far more scammers than I've had dates, and been stood up by a few of those scammers. I'm so jaded I'm not nervous on a first date anymore. What it also didn't say is many older dudes are looking for nurses with purses. I met a couple of those a few years back. The generic dating advice applies to all ages, if they don't speak well of their ex, that will be the way he speaks about you after the ardor cools. And if he isn't over his ex or late spouse he isn't ready to be dating.

There was a while, about 3 months that I was vegan except for the occasional meals with the kids. I have been the mostly vegetarian for 2 or 3 years. My girls don't care what/how I eat, but I try to be a good guest/hostess. The partners of my girls are pretty firmly in the meat eating camp. I stopped eating meat and animal products mostly because of cost (to me and the planet), and I just wanted to be healtier.

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 31, 2019:

Call the bank to check your accounts first... And then I googled: Do civil lawsuits have arrrest warrants? And I got: While most civil warrants do not result in an arrest warrant, a judge can issue a bench warrant for a civil case. Bench warrants are issued on behalf of the court when an individual fails to appear in court. In a civil case, this usually occurs when a defendant or witness fails to appear after being issued a subpoena. Definition of Civil Warrant | Legal Beagle https://legalbeagle.com/6363161-definition-civil-warrant.html So I agree, sounds like a SCAM!
