HippieChick58 comments on Jun 15, 2018:

When my kids tell me how proud they are of me for what I've made of my life post divorce. How I have stayed strong and not compromised. Also, when someone on here tells me how I've helped them, that just makes me teary. I like to build people and encourage them. We all need someone in our corner giving us encouragement.

I don't like blocking people, but sometimes there just isn't a choice to get away from condescending...

What's your favourite city?

HippieChick58 comments on Jun 15, 2018:

I enjoyed Munich very much, it amazes me that I wandered around that city alone and on foot at 20ish. But it was a different time. I enjoyed Seattle as well, and Bahstun. And DC. I need to go back to DC, there are still museums I haven't seen. I think I will wait til Drumpf is no longer there.

When you stop and think about it, we touch 100s of lives every day and we've been essential in the lives of at least a few. Yeah, job wise I know I'm replaceable, but my personality, my caring has made a difference in many lives. Hell, two grandchildren wouldn't be here if not for me. Think of the old movie "It's a Wonderful Life". You do make a difference.

I had an epiphany today.

HippieChick58 comments on Jun 15, 2018:

That is part of the discussion of "are you a reacher or taker" or who is higher on the attractiveness scale, or in intelligence, or has more of the qualities wanted. All things will never be equal because we're all individuals. You have to find someone who loves you enough that you love enough and your demons play well together and make the committment.

New here and curious about the breakdown

HippieChick58 comments on Jun 14, 2018:

We have some very liberal groups or anti Trump groups. I don't pay much attention to things that don't matter to me (limited time) but I see lots of political posts that are mostly liberal. Then again, that is what I am looking for. I'm told not everyone appreciates me, which is OK. We have opinions to offer on things beside politics, but politics is on the minds of many these days.

Is it OK to lie on your profile in order to get a date?

HippieChick58 comments on Jun 14, 2018:

If I find out someone has lied to me, we're done. I've been lied to before, and nope will not do that again. I keep it truthful, just easier to keep things straight that way.

How close are you to your Ex?

HippieChick58 comments on Jun 14, 2018:

I see my ex more often than I'd really like to, one of the kids lives with him because he really needs a keeper. And then there are the holidays and kids like to do "family" gatherings. We are not best friends, we're civil. For someone to be buddy buddy with their ex.... depends on so many factors.

I'm tired of the deck being stacked against me, of going south into a north wind, of always being downstream of the stuff that gets dumped. I need a break! Ya just gotta keep plugging away and believe that one day you will get a break. Stay strong.

My sons in law tell me they think it tastes like soap and don't eat it. It is a genetic things. My kids like it as I do. So when they're coming to dinner I don' t make anything with cilantro in it. And as that only happens every couple of months, I'm free to enjoy it most of the time.

Some days it is tough as hell, and today was one of those days. For me, I keep going cuz I want my kids to be proud of me, to set an example for them and for the grandbabies. After bit I'm going to go have a sweet alcoholic frozen drink that is in my freezer as an impulse purchase (I did not notice the 42 grams of sugar when I bought it!!! ) And I might have some other relaxing activities, wallow in my misery for a bit, and then hope I sleep good and get up and try again tomorrow. Tomorrow is a new day, maybe a miracle will happen. Probably not, but maybe, hopefully it will be better than today. And hell, tomorrow is Friday, if it goes to hell like today did then at least I have the weekend to recoup.

I took charge of my reproductive options as soon as I could. There was no way in hell I'd have ever had that conversation with my dad and step witch, that would have been a disaster I'd have never recovered from. I joined the Army, and as soon as I was past Basic Training I went to the doctor and got on the pill. I was 19. After I got married I went off the pill and found out how ridiculously fertile I was, but I was also pretty regular and could tell when I ovulated. When I thought it was time for a baby, I got pregnant. I made sure my girls knew how babies were made and how to avoid surprises. There are no illegitimate babies, but lots of unprepared parents.

HippieChick58 comments on Jun 14, 2018:

I'm sorry for your loss. Forgive your brother, for you. That is a heavy burden to carry, you need to set it down. As for retiring, I can't wait! There is no doubt in my mind that I will retire as soon as I can afford to. Right now I'm working for health insurance. If you have plans for what to do after retirement then go for it. If you'd rather be working, then stay the course.

HippieChick58 comments on Jun 12, 2018:

Many years ago I knew a "good christian" woman married to a "good christian" man and they were working on that quiverfull of children. He went out for a jog and managed to hang himself. He did leave a note, not that it helped those who loved him. So, mental illness crosses the divide between those who believe and those who don't and it doesn't seem to help prevent suicides.

Jealousy. Is it a lack of self-esteem on the part of the jealous person?

HippieChick58 comments on Jun 12, 2018:

I think jealousy indicates insecurity in the relationship, lack of trust for the partner. It could be an issue on either side. Is the jealous one insecure, or has the other one behaved in such a way to make the jealous one doubt the relationship.

Can you develop diabetes if you eat Ramen noodles everyday for 20 years?

HippieChick58 comments on Jun 12, 2018:

There are so many other factors that will play into developing DM2 (Diabetes Mellitus type 2). If it si truly a concern for you, may I suggest you bounce that question off a qualified medical practitioner? Maybe a GP and a dietician. It also depends on what else you are eating. Seriously if you eat nothing but Ramen Noodles all day every day DM2 is likely to be the least of your worries, malnutrition would be a much larger concern.

I'm on this other dating website and I've never been married with no kids.

HippieChick58 comments on Jun 12, 2018:

IMHO, don't think it is negative. To me it means you don't have baby mama drama. No child support and no alimony. All good things. It also means you might not understand my involvement with my kids, but I'm not going to assume the worst at the get go. I think you definitely dodged a bullet, that judgement was kinda harsh. It's not like you have inhabited another planet and you were a kid once and had parents. You know how those relationships work.
