Wow! I have had a few friends complain about that. I helped one of them prank a thief yesterday. He came over and raided my cat litter box so he could fill an empty Amazon container and leave it on his porch. Haven't heard from him as to whether the package has been stolen yet.

You can also throw all your veggies in a sink full of water with vinegar and let soak. And then give them a brief scrub and dry them off. Most fruits as well. Cuz even if they are organic, you don't know who or what has handled them, or sneezed on them in the store or shop.

So much for gawd judging us for our hearts. The whole song has always made me so very angry. It deliberately plays on the emotions and the theology is just flat wrong. I spent too many years leading or participating in buybull studies. The advantage is I know buybull BS when I see it, and this song it totally BS. And now that I have stirred all this up again, I need to stuff it all back down and hope I can sleep tonight. :) Hmmm, booze, benadryl, tea, or other....

I worked a wonky schedule, but one ot the times our days off coincided we went to visit some of the historic sites in Germany, we felt it was important enough, in fact very important. It was powerful, and yes quite a downer. But I will never, ever forget it. About 25 years later I was in Washington DC with my two oldest and the fiance of the oldest, and we ended up having to stay til Monday and had nothing scheduled on Sunday. I told the kids to choose, and they chose the Holocaust Museum. That was one of those "damn, I did good moments." It too was very moving, very powerful.

I wasn't driving in 1973, and I don't remember the year of my first car.

HippieChick58 replies on Nov 22, 2019:

@Beowulfsfriend At this time I have no idea. When I went to Germany I sold the car to my sister. She then moved out in the boonies. One night on the way home the car went into the ditch. She had been following her husband in another car, he was able to get her out, but the car had to wait until morning. During the night vandals broke into it and messed it up bad. Poor little car.

Who here had one?

@Sheannutt My first car was a Mercury Capri. I didn't get my first driver's license until I was in the Army, my stepwitch prevented that when I lived in "her" house.

I think we are ways off from that happening here in the US. I suppose you want them to be a socialist as well as an atheist?

@Trajan61 Discussion maybe, but argue? I have better things to do with my time. Neither one of us is going to change our position. My Grammy said "pick your battles." This time/place I will pass.

@zesty past history with poster, I just don't want a drawn out conversation that goes nowhere.

What do you think of the concept of "accepting that you're broken.

HippieChick58 comments on Nov 20, 2019:

I think we are all broken, some more broken than others. We have to accept that others will come with their own baggage, you just both have to have it under control. Finding someone without baggage or someone who isn't broken isn't possible, unless they are infants, and that comes with a whole ...

@Wildflower I disagree. I have issues, they have been worked on. They will also never go away. Day to day it doesn't affect much of anything, but I can be triggered and my day can be shot. I do recover. I look like and act like a fully functioning adult most of the time. I am a fully functioning adult most of the time. But yeah, there is a little girl in there...

My oldest daughter was born when I was 27. When I started dating my middle daughter told me that I should date men closer to my age than to her sister's age, so they should not be more than 14 years younger than I am. That is fine with me, I prefer men closer to my age or older anyway. And in the ...

I get my shoes from Zappos. If they don't fit you can send them back as long as you have only walked on carpet. I have purchased 90% of my shoes in the last 12 or so years from Zappos. Great selection and wide variety of sizes and widths.

HippieChick58 replies on Nov 16, 2019:

@Deb57 That was my first thought, but tornadoes are more common here in the Midwest. When I found out I was expecting a grandson I made a quilt in the cyclone pattern. It was very appropriate for that little boy.

I could use some moral support.

Doesn’t sound typical for a hospital to do this. Ignore the notices and just call them. Ask to speak with someone in America.

HippieChick58 replies on Nov 15, 2019:

@darthfaja All I can speak for is my hospital. If you are not on a formal payment plan and you have not paid the balance in several months it will be looked at by collections. My billing software allows me to set up a payment plan. When that is in the account and payments are being made timely, it will not go to collections. If it is not a formal payment plan, the account is noted but a plan is not set up, it could well go to collections after 3 or so months.

@BBJong Where I work if you have not made a payment in 3 months it will be looked at by collections. We try to encourage payment plans so you can spread the payments out and that keeps the accounts from collections.
