He's beautiful!

This phobia could make an excellent premise for a novel Somniphobia.

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 7, 2018:

I don't have that, I love, love, love going to sleep. However, sleep does not always embrace me....

I remember my grandmother having one of these.

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 7, 2018:

I used to have one! Middle daughter has it now. We picked it up in Germany. Yes, my English grandparents had one as well, the German grandparents didn't have one. English grandparents also had a cuckoo clock made in Japan.

Everyone has gone through something?

Good advice as I move into retirement.

Guys, please be aware of the Troll who uses the same profile info and the same lame picture.

So, today I had no work, so I went out for a while to do some shopping.

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 6, 2018:

My dad and big brothers. We didn't do no damn training wheels.

Powerful and profound statement.

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 6, 2018:

Beautiful, well said, and heart felt. Thanks for posting this. It is very, very touching.

I'm goofy as hell ? but if ?

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 6, 2018:

Oh for damn sure. Sometimes I wonder how the hell I got this far.

When I was about 15 years old I was sitting at the dinner table.

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 6, 2018:

Did you ever find out WHY she was walking down the street naked? That was about 1984? Pretty risque back then, even for Southern CA.

What do you do better than anyone else?

Sadly true. Intelligent life has left the planet.

I love this group and I refuse to leave now that I have someone in my life! It's been 5 weeks so far...

Love is not just...?❤?

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 6, 2018:

Very true, passion fades, duration requires dedication.

If you base your happiness on the off chance that someone else might change, you’re in trouble

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 6, 2018:

I base my happiness on me, and what I can control.

What is your current guess for how long before we are rid of tRump?

So very very true!

This article got me thinking.

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 6, 2018:

I'm not willing to relocate, and at my age I don't expect anyone to relocate for me. At my age we're settled with families or other ties to the area.

Does anyone else have the defense mechanism of being the happy-go-lucky person so no one can see how...

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 6, 2018:

Of course. If I can't beat the pain down it will overwhelm me.

Is it really so wrong to want to be a priority to someone?

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 6, 2018:

Never! If you're going to be in a romantic relationship you need to make each other a priority.

Can you figure this one out?

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 6, 2018:

This is how I feel today

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 6, 2018:

I have had a very long string of days just like that. I finally figured out the cure! I essentially quit my job. I am working my case load down til tomorrow!! I'm so excited!

Tell us about your newest relationship.

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 6, 2018:

That would be Zelda and me. She's my youngest cat. Haven't had a new relationship with a human being in...., in...., wow, that long.

Impeachment. Just do it.

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 6, 2018:

My colleague recommended a doctor that he likes, so I’m here for my first visit.

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 6, 2018:

Let them know what you think of their choice of stations. Maybe they will change to something less brainless and more entertaining. If enough folks speak up things will change.

Morning! Tomorrow I will be topping off this fairly shtty week by driving to Maryland to meet a...

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 6, 2018:

How exciting! Good luck!

Any of you ladies out there use this growing up?

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 6, 2018:

Good morning! Today's program: getting two teeth pulled and starting the process for a bridge.

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 6, 2018:

Good morning.

What is more important book knowledge or experience?

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 5, 2018:

Yes. Some of each. Read the books and then go try it. I learn by reading but remember better after having experienced it. Sometimes. I remember odd details I read as a kid. Important stuff not so well.

Baby snowflakes.

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 5, 2018:

I even ordered a new pair of Nikes.

OMG, love that Man created God shirt. I NEED that.

Im recently seperated after 27 years of marriage. How long before dating again should one wait

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 5, 2018:

First of all, when you feel like it, but understand heart and head are not always in agreement. Second, if you have children at home, don't bring the new person around them until you know it is going to be long term. It is really hard on the kids to have revolving door people in their lives. I ended a marriage after about that same length of time. It isn't easy on anyone.

Evening all!

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 5, 2018:

Almost Friday. I have 16 hours left to work, and I may call myself retired, or on sabbatical.

Judging Trump by his "accomplishments".

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 5, 2018:

When I think of the way her "father" spoke of her, I really wonder... and then I don't go there because it is so gross. But the poor girl never had a chance at being a real person. I wish she'd just STFU. She is just a pawn in his game.

Does anybody read a newspaper anymore?

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 5, 2018:

I will look for the paper if I go out to breakfast, but I no longer read it regularly. I used to have it delivered. I have about a years worth stored in my laundry room. I have a worm box, and every few months I shred a few weeks of papers for fresh bedding for the worm box. The worm castings are a super nutritious soil amendment, better than any commercial fertilizer.

Kiri, on my lap....treat time.

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 5, 2018:

Geezer, Blu, bananas.

Morning all!

Welcome back Snifflz

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 5, 2018:

I work in Short Term Disability claims. I spoke with a claimant from Oregon who has started having epileptic seizures. It was alllll I could do NOT to ask him if he had considered or tried pot for it. I'm sure that would have gotten me fired, even with my last day being Friday.

Morning everyone!

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 5, 2018:

I drink coffee so I don't commit motor vehicle homicide on the way to work. Who taught these people to drive? And put down your damn cell phone, it will wait until you park that car!

Where would we be without it?

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 5, 2018:

I drink coffee so I can stay awake at work and not commit motor vehicle homicide on my way to work. My last day at work is Friday, so next week I will likely be liberated from coffee!!

Back in the day my mom(while she was alive) used to receive food stamps and a cheque and go grocery ...

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 4, 2018:

We never had food stamps, I don't think. But mom didn't drive,and dad had to take her to the grocery store. I think they went on Wednesday night.

Concentrate... say just the color ?

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 4, 2018:

You're mean! And I mean that in the very nicest way. It is too late in the day to "concentrate" :)

Who remembers getting their shoes repaired new heals and new soles .

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 4, 2018:

when I was a kid we did frequently, and shoes got handed down to siblings.

This is just a random post of something that I wonder about.

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 4, 2018:

Personally I think People ARE, and therein lies the issues. I don't think gender has as much to do with it as much as people being people.

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 4, 2018:

we had them on shoes to save wear and tear, make the shoes last longer.

I'm told that some folks use this for anxiety.

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 4, 2018:

Interesting. One of the cats noticed, but wasn't alarmed enough to check it out. I can't say it helped me, didn't hurt.

Have you ever used pick-up lines?

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 4, 2018:

LOL, I have some very sharp scissors. They have never even known me to trot.

Ours was yellow ?

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 4, 2018:

We had one, I don't remember what color. I have a whistler now by Rachel Ray, it is blue.
