There is no such thing as a 'humble' opinion.

HippieChick58 comments on Jun 26, 2018:

OK, instead of saying In my humble opinion maybe I should say "you probably don't want to hear this but..." I don't know about inverted sense of importance, but I'm reasonably smart and full of opinions. And then there is the adage that opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one and they're usually full of shit.

Have you found your "calling" in life?

HippieChick58 comments on Jun 25, 2018:

My calling is to be a Grammy. Before that it was being a mom. But Grammy is so much more of everything. My interest lies in the medical field, but not enough to want to touch strangers or get close enough that they can puke on me. Instead I push papers and deal with people dealing with the medical establishment. It's interesting to me, most of the time. My avocation is making stuff. I sew things like quilts, clothing, home decor. I make soaps, lotions, lip balms, deodorant, and toothpowder to name a few. I am a Hippie.

I've been in Omaha 15 years, in 4 different homes. Two kids graduated from HS here in Omaha and all the kids have managed to settle in Omaha. I don't plan to move again. The kids didn't see their grandparents much when they grew up, we were always far away. I want to be close by to see my grandchildren grow up.

HippieChick58 comments on Jun 24, 2018:

We got Chief in 1996. He was the son I never gave birth to, the best brother my girls could ever have. I trained him to let us know he wanted out by ringing jingle bells hung from the door knob. I trained him to respond to several hand signals. He would bark when I touched my ear. We had a signal for sit and for lie down. He was trained to sit and wait for release when his food was put at his feeding spot. He was trained to wait until everyone was off the stairs before he'd go up or down. The 5 pound kitten bossed him around, and groomed in. The hair balls didn't seem to slow her down. He loved adults and loved full body contact. He pretty much ignored kids unless they had food or were his kids. I miss my bubba.
