I have a question about vegan group. Why are all the alerts post but the group can't be reached?
MissKathleen comments on Sep 6, 2020:
I see four Vegan groups when I search for “Vegan” on groups.
https://agnostic.com/groups?keyword=Vegan=groups
There may be another one or two, as I think I am blocked by the more militant ones.
HippieChick58 replies on Sep 6, 2020:
@bigpawbullets @MissKathleen I don't know if I would describe them as militant.. but excessively rigid maybe. They seem to have an attitude that if you don't agree with their point of view then you must suffer. And yes, militant does work well.

@WonderWartHog99 I would have to completely fence my yard, and that is not an expense I want to deal with. I cannot control the kids who come through my yard right now. And the parents of the grands, my kids, would not appreciate the risk to their kids. And then there is the work, I think when I first moved here I was capable of handling it, but I'm not now. And yes, the additional expense of equipment, etc. Not in the budget.

HippieChick58 replies on Sep 6, 2020:
@MyTVC15 I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you are able to avoid Covid. I am also in the more than a few extra pounds range, with HTN, and pre diabetic. This weekend I have conclusive proof that I can no longer eat chocolate, which will back me out of pre diabetic range. When the shut down started I was working in an office and my team was not WFH, and since I decided we were all going to die I started bringing in a variety of easter chocolate candies. I noticed my heart rate was high, and I figured stress and my supervisor. I cut back on the chocolates, and the supervisor was out of the office most of the time, and things calmed down. Supervisor is back and so are the chocolates and my stress is high. Then I was fired in June and more chocolates, and heart rate went up. Sure stress. Then I added dark chocolate and could no longer sleep. Did some research and yep, that will happen, so I cut out the dark chocolate. Started a new job 3 weeks ago, we WFH. I weaned off all the chocolate and was doing good. Friday at work I did some of the online onboarding education. One of the modules was harassment, and one of the sub modules was bullying. Eye opening, I finally realized the previous job was toxic because of bullying among other things The idea had been in the back of my mind, I just didn't acknowledge it. Then I had some chocolate ice cream, it is a holiday after all. I have elevated heart rate again and trouble sleeping. So, no more chocolate. My current job is assistant underwriter for Medicare Supplements. Definitely gotta get the HTN and pre diabetes under control before I go on Medicare. I'm 62, this is a good education in what is ahead unless Donnie boy messes us all over. I love chocolate, but I also love sleeping.

@MyTVC15 I have lost count of the masks I have made. I have 8 or 9 for my own personal use. I wear hearing aids and glasses, so I made mine with ties to avoid anything else around my ears. I made several masks for each of my kids and their partners. One kid asked that I make some for her dad and I will do anything for my kids including contributing to my ex husband's good health. I made masks for the grandchildren as well, and some friends or siblings of the kid's partners. All my masks are made of 100% cotton fabrics. I'm a quilter and I mostly used my quilting fabric stash. All my fabric is washed when it comes into the house. Elastic was hard to come by for a while, but I now have a huge stash of that. When I was making masks in March I did not expect to still be wearing them in September.

Rt: Effective Reproduction Number
barjoe comments on Sep 5, 2020:
Rt, effective reproduction number. Is that the same as R° (R naught) factor? I assume they are different. Can you explain?
HippieChick58 replies on Sep 5, 2020:
The reproduction number "R" is often used to reflect how infectious a disease is. We will, in part, use this quantity to assess alternative interventions to control an outbreak, because R is changed by control measures. The basic reproduction number (R0) is the reproduction number when there is no immunity from past exposures or vaccination, nor any deliberate intervention in disease transmission. We refer to R as an effective reproduction number when there is some immunity or some intervention measures are in place. To read more:

I am fairly certain that I'd be burnt to a crisp if I stood outside naked for an hour or two. There are parts of me that the sun hasn't touched in about 60 years. My last exposure to the sun while I painted my deck in shorts left me with a PMLE, a sun exposure (Poly Morphic Light Eruption) itchy rash on my legs. And even in my neighborhood I'd likely be arrested to be outside sans clothing. I'm just going to increase the amount of Vitamin D3 that I take. I've had the PMLE a few times in my life, it is very annoying.

@AmyTheBruce I made a slew of masks for daughter, in fact for all my daughters and sons in law and faux son in law, and the grands too. Yes, that office is masked unless you are alone at your desk. The schools are requiring masks, our city council overruled the governor (friend of donnie) and required masks in the city. And yes, the school district has a plan for going remote. In general this school district is one of the wealthiest, if not the wealthiest in the state. They could go remote with no issues but parents want sports etc, and mostly republican area, fans and friends of the orange one. I'm all for staying home, I started a WFH job last week, learning from home is a challenge but I'm so glad not to commute and not to worry about what my coworkers are doing.

We completed the call. When I worked short term disability I had a similar situation. I had to call the claimant three times, he thought I was telemarketing. The third time I went full bore rude, - "dude, I am your short term disability claims examiner. If you want money you HAVE to talk to me". He talked to me, and apologized all over the place for hanging up before. That was fun.

@Cutiebeauty I seem to be highly sensitive to spicy, so I proceed with great caution with hot stuff. My kids grew up on Sriracha that their dad loved. Not me, I only keep it in the house for when the kids visit. And yes, I have seen some of your recipes, but as I don't cook much anymore, I mostly pass them by. I am happiest with simple and quick.

@Cutiebeauty Aside from the jalapeno, it does sound delicious. You must be an excellent cook. Cooking for one is not much fun, so my cooking skills are now mostly dormant. I cook a family meal every two months when my kids meet here for dinner. The rest of the time I cook as little as possible. I don't eat big meals and east mostly vegetarian. Miso soup with vegetables and mayb rice of quinoa if a frequent meal.

@Cutiebeauty That is mine too!! Not the spam, I had too much of that as a kid. But the canned tuna I like best does not have the pop tops. Sigh. I don't eat it often, in fact hadn't had it in years, but when quarantine started I wanted some comfort food. Tuna salad was one, just like mom made for us when we were kids.

HippieChick58 replies on Aug 24, 2020:
@Cutiebeauty I'm cheap and I didn't want a machine taking up counter space. There are few cans that I have to manually open any more, so I decided the P38 would fit my requirements. I've never tried it with a knife, I'd be worried about ruining the blade. I also think the P38 might be safer than a straight blade knife, it has a gripper for the underside of the rim to help you get leverage. I have arthritis in my hands and can still use the P38 without much bother.

Music and the Brain: What Happens When You're Listening to Music
HippieChick58 comments on Aug 22, 2020:
I like to play Soduku as I wind down to go to sleep. Last night I turned on some music, it was 70s love songs... Had to stop Soduku, could not stop singing. It is at times very hard for me to listen to the music of my youth, makes me sad for what might have been.
HippieChick58 replies on Aug 22, 2020:
@MizJ No sane person would pay to hear me sing, or even tolerate it long. I can sing with enthusiasm, but little regard for the actual notes. My kids are good singer and musicians, Mama can't carry a tune in a bucket.

@evidentialist I was "terminated" by my previous employer in June, and not terribly sad to be out the door. In fact with the additional unemployment payments that were made I did ok. I started a new job on Thursday, although it is a temp job only goes thru December. I am working at home, had to set up the work computer on my own. I got help from the help desk, now to figure out where to put it. I don't know if they would consider WFH from New Mexico. Might be hard for you to haul your computer home.

@Marionville I read fast, and back then was easily reading 2 or more books a week. That and a memory for words. At my last job I was told my vocabulary was too big and I should dumb it down while on the phones. I had trouble with that. I referred to one of my coworkers who was close to my age as a contemporary. She didn't know what I meant. Aside from losing a job during a pandemic, and the pay and benefits; I really don't miss that job.

If you have an iron, steam those masks. The steam will destroy anything that remains behind. I keep the masks in the car, put them on when I leave the car. When I come home I take the mask off at the laundry room. After washing they get ironed and then back to the car.

@TomMcGiverin There was so much that was not right in that household that it took me years to process it all and name it all properly for what it was. The best thing that I ever did for my kids was to keep them away from that toxicity. My stepmother used to ask when the kids would have overnight visits with them. The answer was never and over my dead body. We always lived too far away, partly circumstance of military and corporate moves. I now live 50 miles from where they lived, but we didn't move here until after my dad was gone. Just because someone is "family" doesn't mean they are good for you.

@wolf041 I do have a reasonably decent internet, and I have a Roku. One of my Android devices does have Pluto TV on it, I have never checked it out. Either I will investigate or ask one of the kids to find it for me ;) They call me a dinosaur.

Is it wrong to wish horrible illness on these horrible people? Because it sure feels like the right thing to do!
HippieChick58 replies on Aug 18, 2020:
I don't think it is wrong, because even if something happens to them you didn't "cause" it, it just happened. I remember at 15 wishing my stepmother's nephew was dead, he was such a PITA, I think he was 12. A few months later he was dead, and it wasn't a good death. Luckily I realized even then that my unkind thoughts did not determine his destiny. There was no cause and effect from my thoughts. We don't have that much power.

My cats have a secret hiding place. They can get into the space between the ceiling of the basement and the main floor. There is only one way in and out, but if I ever need to get them out in a hurry it just isn't going to happen.
HippieChick58 replies on Aug 17, 2020:
@bigpawbullets That works for some things. If they are spooked from unusual numbers of people in the house that won't work. They're darn fraidy cats. If ever I have movers coming or something unusual I need to have them contained prior to the circus starting. One of my kids has been coming almost weekly during the quarantine, they girls still run when she arrives, but reappear within a few moments.

I used to have a gap that big between my front teeth, but time has closed it in, for which I am grateful. I don't think I would have had the patience for braces after watching what my kids went through. I think you are a gorgeous woman, and if closing that gap gives you confidence and makes you happy, go for it.

@biguy12 I am sorry if you read into my words that I think you are less than intelligent. I think Kamala Harris is a mongrel like the rest of us and she is entitled to use what ever drop of blood she has to appeal to her audience or suit the occasion. I would expect it of everyone and anyone.

HippieChick58 comments on Aug 15, 2020:
I am sewing, which falls into the category of what else is new. And doing laundry is likewise. Tomorrow I will have my online book club, and my daughter will deliver my groceries and visit for a bit.
HippieChick58 replies on Aug 15, 2020:
@Sonja44 Thank you!! It isn't really talent, it is just grunt work and sticking with it. Anyone with a whole lotta patience and basic seaming skills could do that. Mine isn't perfect technique, but I don't let that stop me. I go with colors I like. If you are interested in quilting there are so many online resources now, it blows me away. I started in 1989 or 90 with a course called Quilt in a Day. Boy, was that title misleading... But I got hooked.

January 13, 2021 My newest and smallest grandchild. She arrived 5 weeks early and is now 2.5 weeks old and is less than 7 pounds. I've never held such a small baby before. She is quite perfect and very amazing. I love being a Grammy.
