@orange_girl Hydrogen Peroxide will make dogs barf, which is a great way to clear out their digestive tracts of stuff they shouldn't have eaten. My dog ate some stuff with staples in it, so I put peanut butter on a piece of bread and put some hydrogen peroxide on it. He gulped it down in a quarter of a second and I sent him out in the yard. About 45 seconds later he was barfing up his toenails.

@Freedompath My stepmother was jealous, abusive, vindictive, petty, and mean, but as far as I know she was never criminal. Although today she'd likely have been arrested for child abuse, she did physically attack my younger sisters. My dad passed in 2007 or so, and after their house was cleaned out and the step was settled in a senior living facility I never had much more to do with her. My sister and I discuss her from time to time, and how she affected our lives. But we've learned, we've healed, and we've moved on. She is now just a bad memory.

I started hearing about KP when I was very young, relatives who had to use KP usually did not have good experiences. I had KP briefly (maybe in Washington State so prior to 1999) and was not impressed. Recently I worked in disability claims, and KP was hard to get medical records from. You had to do it their way, they had no flexibility and an enormous number of hurdles. Patients could not ask for their own records to be sent, it had to come from an insurance provider, and then it was expensive and slow. KP is essentially a monopoly in many areas, and they act like it.

@Return2Sender My ex is a very conservative Xian and webmaster of a Xian hymnal website. At one time I was a Bible Study leader, lay leader, and speaker. So my kids were pretty much raised in the church. For two of them it didn't take at all, and my gut tells me the youngest is going to church to make daddy happy. So, my oldest is married to a catholic though she doesn't go to church except to have the baby baptized. The middle will only go to church if a niece or nephew is there, and the youngest plays in the band at her dad's church. I see my kids at least every other week, and we do family holidays/birthdays. My kids also grew up nomadic, their dad was active duty Army, and then we moved a few additional times, so we learned to rely on each other for the most part.

@Hathacat My dog used to eat all sorts of stuff that shouldn't have been eaten. I learned real quick to keep hydrogen peroxide on hand. The meme is cute, adorable in fact, it just triggered memories of the cat I had in Okinawa. Wow, that was such a long time ago.

6 Only the last line matters. The two previous lines are meaningless as they are not connected to the actual equation. You solve the multiplication first, then it becomes 3+3.

HippieChick58 replies on Nov 12, 2018:

@KenChang I agree, the first two lines are just essentially decoration or decoys. perform multiplication first: 3 X 0 = 0, then add the remaining 3s, so I get 6 as well.

Tired and aching from playing cricket?

HippieChick58 comments on Nov 10, 2018:

Playing Cricket? I have never even watched cricket. As little as I know of playing cricket, my guess is you're tired and achy because it is unaccustomed exercise.

HippieChick58 replies on Nov 12, 2018:

@pmar044 Everything I know about Cricket came from the movie The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. However, since I have been off work (about 2 months) I have also lost some weight and strengthened my knees. Too many years of being heavy and three falls on ice last winter played hell with them. Your plan to lose weight and strengthen is sound. I am amazed at how much better my knees and back are! I even ran in the gym this morning. I haven't run for 30 years. Granted I only ran a few steps, but all things considered it is a huge deal for me.

@Anonbene Yes, I had clearances. My ex was an O3 when we married. (I was an E5 and got out shortly after we were married) He was also MI and ASA. At one time we were stationed in Stuttgart, he had a briefcase locked to his wrist and was aboard a helicopter at 10pm flying to Aviano.

@icolan I looked at his stuff, and I don't see any real red flags, or maybe I'm just too lenient or not looking closely enough.

HippieChick58 replies on Nov 11, 2018:

@pmar044 I don't know how physically demanding Cricket is, however thinking it is like American Football, the getting too old for it part comes way earlier for the body than it does for the mind. My advice, listen to your body, it really knows better.

@Anonbene One of my previous jobs had "lulls" and I'd keep busy creatively. One night I used Google Maps to look at all (and I do mean all) my previous addresses. I feel sorry for those whose glory days were so far in the past. The Army was not my glory days, they were a means to an end. I was not a good fit for the Army and happy to leave it. I'd love to go back to Germany and Japan one day, and a few hundred other places. I regard my time in the Army as part of what made me who I am today. That and my kids can say "my momma wore combat boots!"

It hasn't been called Armistice Day in many years, ya'know the dumbing down thing. I remember my grandparents referring to it as Armistice day.

I had to replace my water heater and got the tankless variety. I never run out of hot water. When I was married we had done the same thing, and after a very emotionally raw and physically grueling day I got in the shower, and stayed here for a very long time, more than an hour. It was amazing!

HippieChick58 replies on Nov 10, 2018:

My dad was a Richard who went by Dick, my brother was a Richard who sometimes when by Rick but usually went by his middle name. First ex husband was Dennis Richard, 2nd husband and father of my children was Richard who went by Dick. Long term relationship post divorce that cheated on me was another Richard but went by Rich. It is sad that even my kids have made reference to their dad being a dick. I don't avoid men named Richard, but.... just don't have good history.
