Yeah, I'd like to be 25 again and know what I know now. Things would be very different. Different does not necessarily mean good for everyone. If I didn't marry my ex my kids and grands would not exist. Right now I'd settle for a couple of million $$.

I make quilts, and I cannot count the number of times I've estimated yardage and come up short. I hate it when that happens. Good luck stretching that fabric out. I can't do that with the fabrics I use. Always, always, always remember: Measure twice, cut once.

HippieChick58 comments on Apr 26, 2021:

I have china, my kids don't want it. I use it when they come to dinner, and they tell me I shouldn't use "the good stuff" because it might get broken. I tell them if I don't use it now they will have to clean it out of my house when I'm gone. If it gets broken I'm really OK with that.

Why it's important not to get twitterpated over a person before meeting.

HippieChick58 comments on Apr 24, 2021:

I am willing to guess of those over 100+ messages, 98% were scammers. Times are tough, the scammers seem to proliferate in times like that. Your dates sounds really sucky. I don't think WA state needs to worry about tornadoes or hurricanes, I'm surprised his list did not include earthquakes which is a big concern that will lead to dam collapses where you are. My youngest was 3 when we moved to Tacoma, she called Mt Ranier Mount Raindeer. It always makes me smile and helps me remember the name of that potential volcano. I am with you on the hearing loss. I wear hearing aids now, they can be a PITA, but the benefits of hearing better are huge. My ex needs HA, but refuses to even consider it. I know what he is missing, I refuse to let hearing loss affect my relationship with my kids and grands. I do it for them, and to stay employed. Ex is retired, and doesn't care about the rest. Which is a good part of why he is my ex. Your experience doesn' t make me want to reconsider any dating sites, but you go girl for getting out there.

No, no that's ok.

HippieChick58 comments on Apr 20, 2021:

I think Michelle Obama is one of the classiest, nicest women around. She treated the Bushes like close family, and saw them as people, as parents, and as humans. Just because our politics differ we can still be good people and be warm and real with each other. Sometimes anyway.

A reminder to all.......recognize these poisoned plants.

HippieChick58 comments on Apr 19, 2021:

Always remember: Leaves of Three, let it be!. The poison Ivy and Oak have sets of three leaves. Sorry, Sumac doesn't follow that rule. With these plants that is one time I will use Roundup because that will kill it right down to the roots. I grabbed a handful of poison ivy once while weeding, I didn't realize it was poison ivy until I dropped it into the pile of weeds. I quickly ran to wash my hands and didn't have any trouble with it. Now I look before I grab weeds. In the fall poison ivy has nice red berries which the birds love. And then they poop those seeds and spread the love around.

My late former FIL often referred to the excesses of the Roman government as being responsible for their downfall. They did not take the necessary steps to stomp out homosexuality. I don't think the US needs to be a world leader, we need to all work together. The US has too much BS going on at home, we can no longer be the world's policeman. Will the US recover, I have no idea. But I see a great deal of change in the future of the entire planet.

I dated a younger man once (only) he had gone to college on a baseball scholarship and then somehow blew that... worked in call centers but had recently quit, now was working in landscaping, and was looking for a woman who could "help him find his way." I told him that was his mama's job and all my children were grown up. Never saw him again. I have plenty of projects, don't need a man to be a project.
