We have all had that one break up that was unexplainable most of us over think or think too much.

JeremyTaylor comments on Sep 21, 2018:

It's not the same as a relationship breakup, but there was someone I was getting to know online over the summer. We would message all day long and into the night. She was smart, funny, just as dirty minded as me (maybe even more), and the closest woman I've met online yet. She was slow to ...

HippieChick58 replies on Sep 21, 2018:

As a mom of daughters I'd tell you it might not have been you. She said she cannot have anyone new in her daughter's life right now. Pre-teen girls can be fragile, especially after a divorce. It's a hard age and moving into middle school. Those are the hell years. If she was cutting contact to protect/nurture her daughter then I have nothing but respect for her. It's really hard to put your kids needs ahead of your own, but that is what good parents do. So my guess is that it isn't you, it is the situation that the daughter is in.

Woot!! Love to see Ted getting his ass beat! And I really loathe looking at his face. He is the reason I turned Cable TV off. I couldn't stand seeing his face in my living room during the Iowa Primaries. He's just too smarmy for me.

@Akfishlady Yes, I meant recently widowed. I met a man who put up an OKCupid profile the night BEFORE his wife's funeral. She had a long term chronic illness, and went into the hospital for a simple illness and never came home. He thought he was ready to hit the ground running, and talk about a crash and burn. He was not clear about when his wife passed and I started dating him. There were still funeral flowers in his house. He wasn't ready, neither were his kids.

I tried to make most of my calls after 10:00 local time because by then most of the US was past 8:00, except Alaska. Didn't have to call there very often.

I've read it daily for 2 years. Good advice on cover letters, resumes, interviews, office culture, office politics. She gets letters from readers and responds, and sometimes it is just hysterical. What to do if your lunch is stolen. How to deal with gossips, pets in the office, kids in the office, and everything else. Seriously good stuff.

So my first Monday off I took a 90 minute yoga class. OMG, I have not moved some of those muscles in 18 months! It took me a week to recover. Next class will only be 60 minutes.

I was in Okinawa when they changed from driving as the Americans do, to driving as they do on mainland Japan on the left. I was 19 when I got to Okinawa. I was amused and amazed at the advertising for adult entertainment; banana shows and snake shows. The Japanese are much more open and relaxed than Americans of puritanical descent. The Japanese have different ideas of physical boundaries. In the US we don't willingly pack in tightly. In Japan there were no limitations.

@NoMagicCookie There are a few employers that offer them to employees that work less than 40. It may take some looking, but I will endeavor to find them. I will not take a job where overtime is expected. I did that in a previous job. When you work 60 hours in 5 days it is too much and not healthy for you. The overtime was nice, but not worth what you're giving up.

@NoMagicCookie I do remember seeing something about that. If I do look for another job, I will look for something lower stress and not more than 30 hours a week. All I really want is health benefits. If the US had universal health care I likely wouldn't even consider looking for another job. I do have some "retirement" income that will start next month. Right now I don't know how much it is going to be. That will determine how long my first retirement is going to last.

@Deiter I don't understand how it is privileged to restrict who has access to my body and when. Am I reading you wrong?

What do you call it?

mike pence is much more dangerous than trump, imo. he's a zealot and truly believes, in a way that reeks of active denial of rights to anyone that doesnt fit the straight/white/christian/male-led model. on a side note: i am straight, but rachel madow gives me goosebumps....

I'm fasting today. I have about 3 more hours to go, and that looks really good!

HippieChick58 replies on Sep 14, 2018:

@Donto101 It's OK, it is a discipline, and I'm just trying to get healthier. Other people don't stop eating because I do. It really looks delicious. Will any be left when I get there. I can leave now! ;)

Curious, anyone else do 23andMe, and if so, any surprises?

I've never done any genetic testing, but my ex was into genealogy so we know mostly where we came from.

@TheDoubter, @Eclipsechaser after living with my ex, we all learned the correct spelling and pronunciation, even if we didn't want to.

HippieChick58 replies on Sep 14, 2018:

@TheDoubter yes, and I'm pretty sure if we did the biological testing we'd find some "interesting" results. I read a book about the daughters of Thomas Jefferson. There was quite a discussion of how mixed blacks could pass off as white, and the penalties if they did "escape" into the white worlds. I wonder how many whites really have blood that isn't lily white.

This looks so good for lunch ?? [tasty.co]

It does look good. I'm fasting today, everything looks good!

HippieChick58 replies on Sep 14, 2018:

@Sheannutt You look reasonably slim. I OTOH am not. From some reading I've done fasting can increase your insulin sensitivity and therefore stave off Diabetes. As I have no insurance atm, and have been pre-diabetic for a very long time, I decided this was a good time to try that. I want to avoid medications as much as possible. Fasting is not calorie reduction, so your body will actually start to use the stores of fat that you have. I fasted last week and ended the fast at a Sushi restaurant with family. I am sure I got my calories in.

really seriously good! but what CAN we do? and I'll have to take this list with me to every coffee house I visit so I can be sure I learn them all - Is i permissible to just oh so very slightly wiggle and amend the logic ?

10 Commandments of Logic

JohnnyMarsz comments on Sep 14, 2018:

Really wish I was smart enough to memorize all of these and be able to regurgitate it mid-debate.

HippieChick58 replies on Sep 14, 2018:

I know, I want to be able to tell someone that their logic is faulty because... I recognize it is faulty, but I'm not sure why. This lays it out. I may have to just carry the cheat sheet.

Good advice

sweetcharlotte comments on Sep 14, 2018:

This good advice is something I did two days ago. Was strange how it all came to me at once in a bunch of words I wrote. Without anyone telling me it was what I needed to do, I found peace in a love matter. I am having trouble with #8. I don't serve myself first in a relationship, and probably ...

HippieChick58 replies on Sep 14, 2018:

My example would be: Are you trying to continue to do something you no longer enjoy or never enjoyed because you were taught that "you should"?. What of society's norms are not working for you? Society says women should shave their legs and underarms. I asked myself why men didn't have that onus on them. I gave up shaving about 6 years ago.

I'm still working on #7. I don't think I'll ever be able to do that again.

Yeah, that is a challenge. I hope someday with the right person I can, but not in most cases.

I agree, and they want to oppress the populace and take, take, take everything away from the rest of us.
