@josh_karpf Way back when, early 90s Chick fil A was pretty good. We lived in Hampton, VA and used to eat it pretty frequently. Then we moved, and moved, and moved. Chick Fil A is now in Omaha. And because I was close by, and I was hungry, and I hadn't tried in in over 20 years I decided to check it out. It has not aged well. The food not as good as I remembered. With their political stance I have put them on my list of places to avoid, and I have no regrets in doing so.

@FrayedBear There was an error in the blocking programming, and even though I had you blocked I was still seeing your posts. And as a New Year's experiment some of us decided to unblock every personal block we had. If you are blocked in a group you are still blocked there. I don't stalk and or bait you, even if I had that much time, there are so many more pleasant things to do. As far as I can tell, this is the first time I've seen you in days. Why does it matter that someone was or was not a Jewess? Why would that matter especially on this site? Many of us have Jewish ancestry, it doesn't change who we are.

@FrayedBear "Baiter vs bater", oh please. Please tell me that was a joke, that you know better. baiter (plural baiters) Agent noun of bait; one who baits, as with a fishhook.

I couldn't even find a google reference for bater, except for masturbater, and I'd rather not get into that.

@FrayedBear I can be a grammar nazi, so if you want an apology you'll be waiting for a while, a very long while. However, there are times it is appropriate, and times that it is just nit picky. I choose not to be nit picky, and go for the meaning of the conversation. Not everyone on this site has English as their primary language, and not everyone is careful with their use of grammar. I'd rather advance the conversation than throw up roadblocks due to minor errors.

The common wisdom is that unforgiveness is like drinking poison and expecting your enemy to die. You forgive to release the pain that they have caused you. It doesn't mean you forget, it just means you come to acceptance of it. Does it work? Someday ask me about my ex, or don't.

He's a rich, pampered, spoiled petulant playboy who cares for no one but himself and does not have any discernable talent or intelligence. I think his followers are fools and tools. Any questions?

But everything bad about him has now been magnified so much, he is much cruder, crasser, more obnoxious than ever. The fact that so many people are so fawning over him, just blows my mind. I really think it is time to drink the koolaid for his followers, I don't think they can be rehabilitated. I am aghast at the hate and ignorance that I am seeing from his followers. I don't believe this can be healed or educated out.

I used to get long, long messages from scammers, and then I realized they had to be copying and pasting. I can just imagine a room full of people on computers copying and pasting this smarmy text to unsuspecting folks all over the world.

HippieChick58 replies on Jan 17, 2019:

@Dave75 I never did Tinder. I was on OKC and POF several user IDs, I was on Match for a while. I did EHarmony, and Christian Mingle years ago when I was still trying to be a xian. Those folks were a bit (huge bit) over the top for me. I did a few other senior sites, and kept running into the same people and the same damn scammers.

I call this, "Mike Pence Goes Undercover In Attempt To Thwart Gay Agenda"

Elganned comments on Dec 31, 2018:

Can anyone explain to me what the "Gay Agenda" is? I've asked all the Christians I know, but nobody's been able to articulate it.

HippieChick58 replies on Jan 16, 2019:

Don't you know? The gays want to make all of us gay! We're going to be one big happy gay family. Like it is contagious or something. There is no Gay Agenda. From Wikipedia: Homosexual agenda (or gay agenda) is a term introduced by sectors of the Christian religious right (primarily in the United States) as a disparaging way to describe the advocacy of cultural acceptance and normalization of non-heterosexual orientations and relationships. The term refers to efforts to change government policies and laws on LGBT rights-related issues. Additionally, it has been used by social conservatives and others to describe alleged goals of LGBT rights activists, such as recruiting heterosexuals into what they term a "homosexual lifestyle".[1]

Have you ever had one of those days when you jumped out of bed and missed the floor?

HippieChick58 comments on Jan 16, 2019:

I had a few weeks where the knees didn't want to work well, and sometimes the floor wasn't where it was expected to be.

HippieChick58 replies on Jan 16, 2019:

@Benthoven I fell on the ice three times last winter. Plus I had a desk job, worked frequent over time, and I have been considerably overweight. So there were mornings when they did not want to work well. In September when I became unemployed I started walking and strengthening the knees. I've lost weight and I don't remember the last morning I had to think about my knees before I rolled out of bed.

Judge Orders Trump Administration To Remove 2020 Census Citizenship Question : NPR

I clean out the litter box.

HippieChick58 comments on Jan 14, 2019:

Mine do it every damn time! I have two boxes. As soon as the first is cleaned and I've started on the second there is a cat making a deposit in the first. They don't even give me 5 minutes, maybe 5 seconds.

HippieChick58 replies on Jan 15, 2019:

@RavenCT Good to know. Usually I had only one cat or two cats and one litter box. Since I got Zelda I've had two boxes as the vet recommended. For a while the litter boxes were on different floors, but that wasn't working for me. So they are in the basement laundry room which is the perfect location for me, and apparently them. I have to wonder how they decide what to do in each box, do they communicate? What criteria is used for the box on the right being primarily for stools. And yes, odd thing do take up head space from time to time.
