@Aushra I met a guy through a dating site, and I knew his wife had died. What wasn't clear was when. There were still flowers from the funeral in his house when we first met. He put up a profile the day after the funeral. He was smart and decent enough to realize he was rushing things and after a few weeks of dating he dropped off all dating sites and got into counseling. I met another recent widower just after that. It is likely their marriage was good and they wanted to keep that security going, they just don't realize that one size does not fit all.

My ex was OK with the girls getting their ears pierced and they had it done pretty young. I have had two ear piercings for quite a while, I'm not sure if the second holes are still open, it has been a while since I wore earrings. Two of the girls did cartilage piercings, the oldest did not keep hers, too much pain. I think the youngest still has hers. Their dad might make comments but they have learned to blow it off. The girls don't put up with his BS.

Mine is usually covered, I don't wear shorts or short skirts. I see the ex at least every two months if not more often for family stuff. (the things I do for my kids) There have been a few occasions I've been in a skirt and one occasion where we were in swimsuits.

@SACatWalker If you are responding to my assertion that most xians I met on POF think a non believer is defective perhaps it is my choice of words. I don't use it that someone should be put down, but that they are not right somehow, usually mentally. I actually had one person tell me they'd pray for me because I was a non believer, and I said "good luck with that" and the conversation ended forever.

What to do when you begin to care for your parents.

HippieChick58 replies on May 24, 2018:

I really don't think college is the time for that, definitely not HS. Things change all the time in the government. My oldest is 33, I am now 60. What she would have learned then is already outdated. Beside not every HS/College student is going to have to take care of an aging parent or other relative. My siblings and I didn't have to. My sister and I dealt with planning a funeral for a relative, we knew she wanted cheap. It was so hard to persuade the funeral home to stop showing us the Cadillacs and drop down to the Ford line.

Interesting.

Sassygirl? this is the history of the world. Not just the US. This is the culture of human beings the world over.

This is true. The history of the world is invasions and assimilations.

Didn't one of her own sons buy into religions dark side and arrange her kidnapping for ransom and the kidnappers ended up killing her and a couple others?

I don't know if it was established who killed her.

I've had this thought myself. Great idea until someone sues the ass off the restaurant because their babysitter was trying to get a hold of them for an emergency.

HippieChick58 replies on May 24, 2018:

@FrayedBear Considering the liability of the restaurant and our litigious happy society, I can't see restaurants wanting to take that chance. When I'm out to dinner with my adult kids the phones are put away and we are engaged with each other. When I'm the baby sitter I know my kids have their phones on. I don't need an app or a business to tell me how to behave as a responsible adult. What if the moon IS made of green cheese, I think we settled that when we brought moon rocks back to earth. Your angst/passion seems a bit over the top for the conversation, did I trigger something?

Do Men actually ask women on dates anymore?

HippieChick58 comments on May 24, 2018:

I think in this era it is great when a woman asks a man out on a date. Why should the impetus be on the man? You can discuss who pays when you fix the details.

HippieChick58 replies on May 24, 2018:

@KenG Seriously I prefer a man ask me out, but I understand the dynamic. If I think there is a chance of any interest I might ask. And if I am asked out I'd likely say yes.

@FrayedBear However, is that going to delay getting that phone call? What if my sitter calls the restaurants and gets a busy signal? Or voice mail?

hankster comments on May 24, 2018:

How about a never eat alone app. once you've ordered you start it up and it randomly selects or you can choose from other users, someone who is also eating alone. prop the phone up across the table and video chat during your meals.

If you go to the profile page, that account doesn't have a normal profile and it says Role:Moderator. I therefore think it is a genuine system test and would not worry about it.

HippieChick58 replies on May 23, 2018:

@Countrywoman I am very happy to have snakes in my area, I love garter snakes. However once they get bigger than that I have a great desire to be far from them. I lived in Okinawa in the late 70's, I learned really fast what a Habu looked like and to cross the street when you encountered one.

Did anyone miss me?
