I used to criticize people for wearing what I thought was inappropriate stuff, but I have since decided that if they are happy in their skin and want to dress up or down in any certain way...more power to them. If it bothers me then I AM THE ONE with the problem.

HippieChick58 replies on Jun 3, 2018:

@Seeker55 Conditioning is such a good word for this. My conditioning is such that I likely wouldn't leave the house dressed as she is, but that is my baggage and I try not to beat up others with my issues.

I'm a military brat.... so it's weird. My parents bought a house in Virginia Beach Va. when I was in 2nd grade. Later I graduated high school from there, so sometimes that feels right... but the longest I ever lived in one place as a kid was Naples Italy for 4 years. This is an awkward ...

My experience with Missouri is that it is tripolar. There is St. Louis which IMHO has a very East Coast flavor and outlook. My ex grew up in the St. Louis area, I lived there a few time. Then there are the Ozarks, which is the hill billy back woods mentality. Then there is Kansas City which is western looking, modern and the only part I like. I also have lived in the KC area, and if not for my kids I'd move back there in a flash. I used to say on the Kansas side only, then the governor trashed the state and I'm glad I got away when I did.

HippieChick58 replies on Jun 3, 2018:

@Donna_I History is why. I live in Omaha. Street numbering starts at the eastern edge, and the city grew mostly to the west. I live at 168th street, my neighborhood was built in the early 2000s. For the city, Midtown is considered about 40th. To me that doesn't make sense, the middle of the mass of the town is about 90th. I've been here since 2005. Same reason Ohio is considered Midwest. Nope, not logical.

For example, I love to sew, but I don't want to to that for other people, they're too damned picky. So I work at a job that pays reasonably well and has decent benefits so when I'm not at work I can sew as I desire.

@Sheannutt Sacrifice one stalk from the plant you have. Pay attention to which end is up. Cut it into pieces about 3 inches long. Place each piece into its own pot of appropriate soil with the appropriate end up and moisten. And then wait and moisten from time to time. It might take several months, but you will get babies. From the same stalk I had some that took much longer than others to sprout. But they all sprouted.

Do you split the bill when you go on a date?

Cherie44 comments on May 28, 2018:

If I was single I’d offer.

@Cherie44 Is there a disturbance on the horizon? If there is, get a good lawyer and get protected. This type of stuff makes the ugly come out really quickly.

Does anyone else keep this site open and listen for the notification ding or is that just me?

daylily comments on May 28, 2018:

Nope. I abhor dings. Too intrusive to my brain. Son-in-law got me a smart phone for Christmas. I find it to be a blessing and a curse. Mostly a curse. GPS and camera are handy, but I'd like to fling it out the window every time I here it ding for no good reason.

Wow, that is hard, so many things. But the thing I want most is enough money to be able to retire now and not have to worry about anything financially for the rest of my life.

@JustKip Very good, I agree. Waiting is hard, enduring is hard. But we do and we get through.

@JustKip I hear ya! I need to stay employed until I qualify for Medicare, if Medicare is still there. Then I will consider if I want to stay employed until the "official" retirement age, which right now is something like 66 and 9 months.

@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.

At this point, everyone is probably wondering, How many cats does she have?

You can turn the notification off. I have most of mine off, and the ringer is off when I'm at work. My calls go to VM during the day, and if they don't leave a message they don't get a call back. If they call more than 3 times without messages they get blocked.

No, I only have this site on my laptop, and when I am away from the laptop I shut things down. I don't have it on my phone, it would be a huge distraction at work.

@Petter, @nicknotes it is something with the whey protein, or so the doctor said. The formula is way expensive and if he can't handle it, the next formula they would use is about triple what the current one is. Babies are expensive!

HippieChick58 replies on May 28, 2018:

@germangirl90439 I keep putting off the tatt, right now I'm thinking in the fall. I'm just a tad overwhelmed with my job and life right now. 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.

@germangirl90439 My ex is very anti tatt, one of the girls got one when she went to college and pretty much kept it hidden from him for the next 4 years. 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. If he saw it he didn't say anything which is amazing constraint for him.
