I fired up Agnostic this morning and wow! 65 alerts awaiting me. Breakfast may be a little delayed!! Thanks for the advisory. (....... and there's me thinking I had suddenly become ultra-popular.)

HippieChick58 replies on May 9, 2019:

I have well over 100!!! No way that is going to get cleared out in the next few days, unless I call my boss and tell her I'm sick..... with 19 hours of PTO.... yeah, better not.

If you found out you were dying... Something to think about.....

Hey HC....tell me about that profile pic. I thought you looked more like this........

HippieChick58 replies on May 7, 2019:

Mother's day is coming up. The picture is my mother before she had kids. Mothers day is very poignant for me, mom died at 45 so never got to know my kids, and now that I have grandkids I miss her even more. She would have loved being a Grammy.

So tell me,why did/did not online dating work for you?

HippieChick58 comments on May 6, 2019:

I have few regrets, I learned some good lessons. I signed up because I was single, post divorce, and just did not know many single men my age, or indeed any single men close to my age. I may have a few regrets, spending too much time corresponding with men I suspected were scammers would be one. I ...

HippieChick58 replies on May 7, 2019:

@Mike1947 Seriously, I would not wish my brother on any woman I wanted to be friends with. He has some "quirks" that most people won't put up with; like always has to be right, thinks showering is optional, and was offended when I told him that it is good to express appreciation when someone does something for you. That last item prompted him to tell me to "shove it," and I have not heard from him since. So, he can stew in his own juices and I'm sure I will hear from him when he does need something.

@VineetHonkan No everyone comes to an awareness of themselves or whom they might be attracted to until later in life. I hadn't noticed you had deleted the post. We all get pissy from time to time, we're human. IMHO, leave the married folks alone. No matter the attraction it just isn't good form to break up a marriage. Dating is hard, or finding someone to date is hard. I have a 67 year old brother. He has never been married. He can't figure out why. I could tell him, but I'm the little sister; in his book I still don't know anything.

Sometimes starting over/reinventing yourself is a good thing.

I'm 61. I've been in a bad marriage that lasted too long. Life is too short to settle for less than love. I'd rather be alone than with someone who doesn't respect me or meet my needs. Hence I am alone and will stay that way until I'm sure it is something better.

A tumor?

HippieChick58 replies on May 5, 2019:

@confidentrealm My mom had ovarian cancer that was metastasized when they found it. That was 1972. They gave her 10 weeks after surgery, she lived for 10 months. Mom was not a social butterfly, and the few friends she had were pretty scarce. When she passed on they loaded us up with food and goodies, and then dropped off the face of the earth again. Illnesses scare people, like it is contagious or something. They don't know what to say, they don't realize the real gift is presence.

INDURATION means a hardened mass or formation.

confidentrealm comments on May 5, 2019:

A tumor?

HippieChick58 replies on May 5, 2019:

@confidentrealm I am so sorry. People can be stupid when someone they know has an illness. I saw that when my mom had cancer, some folks just dropped out of her life. Cancer changes you, but it changes your friends too. You find out who the true friends are. I wish I could make it better for you, I know it is a tough road.

INDURATION means a hardened mass or formation.

Yes, essentially an induration is some sort of tumor.

@zesty LOL! Wow, I'm sorry. Going vegetarian has been good for my gut. I don't fart often and then usually not smelly. Partly it is because not only am I vegetarian (most of the time) I also eat very high fiber. My colon is so clean nothing has a chance to ferment to cause the gas.

Who is Ashley Madison?

HippieChick58 replies on May 3, 2019:

Essentially a site for those looking for hookups only. In 2015 there was a data breach, and a threat to expose users. Many were prominent married men in their community. Does the name Josh Duggar ring a bell, as in Too Many Kids and Counting? That family was tainted by the scandal.

One phone in the entire house, mounted on the wall.

Who even has a land line any more?...haven't had one for years

HippieChick58 replies on May 3, 2019:

@Sticks48 I gave up my land line in the last 5 years. I had a landline post divorce when I lived in an apartment with my daughter and the gates were secured. I didn't want to get calls from her friends asking to be let in on my cell phone when I was at work or out of town. I kept the line for a few years after that. Then I worked nights and started getting campaign calls... The land line and the cable got turned off at the same time, so 2015 primary in Iowa.

I didn't even know what Ashley Madison was. I had to google it.

HippieChick58 replies on May 3, 2019:

Ashley Madison made the news a few years ago, one of the married Dugger sons was outed as being on Ashley Madison, and so were several other prominent people. It was quite a scandal. It has to be a big scandal before I hear about it because I tend to ignore stuff like that as it goes by.

The liberals are obsessed with white supremacy which is actually very rare. That arrogant, racist piece of crap Obama was the one who started this. Race relations deteriorated dramatically under that idiot.

HippieChick58 replies on May 2, 2019:

I disagree strongly. Race relations have sucked in the US forever, unless you were lily white and male. Never ever in the history of the US have non white non male been treated like white males. Obama only caused the problem to come to the surface. The US has an aggressive history of oppressing everyone, from the indigenous population to the most current arrivals.

What weird hobbies do you have?

HippieChick58 comments on Apr 30, 2019:

I have a worm box. I feed worms so I can use the worm castings in my garden. Gardeners find it cool even if they wouldn't do it. Non gardeners just find it weird :) I've had the box about 4 years, maybe longer.

HippieChick58 replies on May 1, 2019:

@NoPlanetB I keep the worms for the castings they make. I could fish with them I suppose, and I'd allow a few to be harvested for that purpose. I could have quite a breeding operation pretty easily.

I apparently was chopped liver, not to mention the mother of his kids, but I think he believed I could be replaced. He also justified not getting a vasectomy because if I died he might want more kids with someone else. Never mind he was over 40 and thought the kids we had were keeping him too busy. I am amazed I stayed married sooooo long. And he has never even dated since we split. Which I think is a very wise move on his part.

LOL,, Senior as those who have worn out their Tshirts. I dunno about washing the car, I usually rely on rain for that.

Posted this yesterday but in all the kerfuffle it disappeared.

I dont like kissing. It feels and looks stupid. Anyone else feel this way?

Ron_R comments on Apr 24, 2019:

I can imagine it might not be for everyone. However, this could pose a problem however since most people not only like kissing, but good kissing at that.

@Anonbene I've never swooned in my life, even with a good kisser.

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!
