I disagree... Love is natural... At least for children before they are negatively influenced by society and religion...
HippieChick58 replies on Apr 26, 2019:
Children are amazing, however, they are the most self centered creatures on the face of the planet. They are little despots! They learn to be loving, but it is a process of civilizing them. I totally love my granddaughter, she's just past 2. However, I know she has to be taught to do loving things like share, not hit, ask for things and not take them. Gotta love toddler attitudes, what is mine is mine and what is yours is mine too.

@Touched I have had about as much luck with the lottery as I have had with online dating. The sad part is I almost never buy lottery tickets. I think in my life I've bought two. I've spent far more money on dating sites and other arrangements. I decided if nothing changes I'm OK with that. If something does change, I'm OK with that too. I'm not waiting, I'm living my life the way I want to within the constraints of my reality. I'm not about to run off to some exotic location, still gotta work and handle real life stuff. But it is my life, I am the captain of my own ship and I'm doing ok.

JackPedigo comments on Apr 21, 2019:
That's easy for me since I'm on an island. Still, it's really hard to imagine people can be so ignorant. I wonder how much of this is due to the use of GPS for directions.
HippieChick58 replies on Apr 22, 2019:
@JackPedigo I have left right confusion, I do better if you just point. When I'm in a building I have no idea which way any direction is, unless I am familiar enough to know where I am. My current is office, I'm right by a window facing south. Last office, no such luck, I was always lost. L/R confusion seems to be genetically linked, my mom and paternal grandmother both had it. It made drilling in the Army challenging. I wore a ring on the right hand, Ring/right is how I dealt with it. I think my grandfathers influence was big in getting me interested in maps. When I am out for walks I have my phone with GPS and an app called MapMyWalk. That and I usually plan out my route ahead of time. In the car when I go to unfamiliar places I use Google Maps.

@JackPedigo I am familiar with the layout of Seattle, or I was. I lived in the area.... wow the two year old I moved there with is now 27. I loved Seattle. I worked with maps in the Army and have always loved maps. My grandfather used to keep an atlas handy, and when he'd hear news stories he'd look up the area. We used to track our travels for each of our kids in the Road Atlases, one for each girl. That got to be just way too much work!

Most of the ladies do. And the hijab allowed them to sneak around a bit, with cooperation of girl friends. Because being completely covered it was hard to figure out who was who. But yes, until their spirits are broken they're just human females underneath the clothing, no better or worse than any other female.

HippieChick58 replies on Apr 17, 2019:
@MST3K i stopped eating sugar several months ago. For me it triggers overeating. So, no Oreos, no Girl Scout cookies, no M&Ms. I'm healthier for it, but it is a hard price to pay.

Is there a community dumpster?
HippieChick58 replies on Apr 16, 2019:
@mzbehavin well, I haven't had a dog since I became single and moved into an apartment. But the kitty litter went into the trash can and then to the dumpster. And prior to the divorce when I had the dog in a public area the poop was bagged and dropped into the trashcan. I think that is pretty common. Dumpsters are not known to be sanitary. And besides, I'm sure dirty diapers go into those dumpsters as well.
Well this sucks.

I like AOC a lot. So no problem there. But, in general, I see ebonics as just one more small step in the direction of dumbing down our society.

HippieChick58 replies on Apr 16, 2019:
Ebonics is here whether we like it or not. We need to accept it as a second language, and also we need to make sure that children in the public schools are given the resources to learn proper English as well. If a Spanish speaking child is enrolled s/he gets ESL. Children who are speaking Ebonics need the same support.

bingst comments on Apr 15, 2019:
I happened to see coverage on NBC. The streams of water they had on it seemed wholly inadequate. It seems to me they would have been better off using helicopters with those big buckets like are used for wildfires. It impressed upon me just how big that cathedral is.

If I have a member in my group that has me blocked will I be able to see their posts and comments?
HippieChick58 comments on Apr 14, 2019:
I have a policy that if someone blocks me they are out of my groups (blocked) for precisely that reason. If I can't see what they're posting, I don't know if they are stirring stuff up or not.
HippieChick58 replies on Apr 14, 2019:
@Wildflower That is kind of my feeling. And if it is someone I have blocked, if they bugged me enough to block them I don't want them in my group either. At the first of the year I unblocked everyone I had blocked, and this morning I blocked someone. We will just never be able to play well together, and life is too short to put up with that BS.

@RobertNappi2 I think I have discovered the cause, I've been carrying a heavy bag on my shoulder for about 6 weeks, I started a new job, the bag holds my lunch, a water bottle, my book, other supplies. I will be moving to a different office in 3 weeks, so that might change the need for the bag or the distance I carry it. And I need to find a bag with better ergonomics. It is getting better, I likely need to get more exercise too.

Triphid comments on Apr 9, 2019:
It both depends upon the definition attributed to meditation and your concept of meditation. I, personally, often just sit quietly and let random things/thoughts, etc, 'flow' through my mind, So, if that is meditation, then yes I meditate,
HippieChick58 replies on Apr 10, 2019:
The point of meditation is to calm the mind, focus on your breath, and shut off the stream of distracting thoughts. Sometimes my random thoughts take me to places I don't need/want to revisit. Meditation is a good prescription for calming "monkey mind."

Sometimes when I have trouble falling back to sleep I will meditate in the position I normally sleep in. I don't think position matters, I think your doctor was full of himself. I also notice the heart rate drop.
