How do you rate Trump's performance?
Trajan61 comments on Mar 3, 2018:
I think he’s done a great job so far. After 8 years of that left wing liberal idiot Obama people in my hometown were so disgusted with the democrats Trump got 87% of the vote and carried all 77 counties in my home state of Oklahoma.
HippieChick58 replies on Mar 3, 2018:
@Trajan61 That's just fine, I will still vote, it is my right. My grandmother and other strong women worked hard so that I and my daughters can vote. We will never give that up. My daughters are liberal and active politically. Those girls and their friends are the future of the this country and I like what I am seeing. Change is coming, the tide is turning and it is going to wash the Republifuck crap out with it.
This is a brave soul.

I used to make clothing for my girls. And still make quilts, home decorations, and stuff. I have several ongoing projects, one is knitting dishcloths. It is definitely a useful skill.

HippieChick58 replies on Mar 3, 2018:
My mind is like a never ending file of useless trivia of all sorts. We used to play Trivial Pursuit and at least once a game I'd get asked how I knew something. Must have been something I read and it just stuck in a synapse until I needed it. Important stuff, not so much.

Would you want to know at a very early age when you would die?
Marine comments on Mar 3, 2018:
I would not because I think it would greatly affect the way I might live my life and would hinder the decisions I might make.This would remove many of the delights of living. I might not take any risks like diving or flying. it would be a burden to know!

HippieChick58 replies on Mar 3, 2018:
@Liviu EX freaking CUSE ME! You wrote: "It's YOUR responsibility to protect yourself... wether it's from a storm and you need to fix the leak in your roof (you don't teach the rain to stop raining), YOUR responsibility to make your house secure.. you don't teach ''men'' to not steal from homes. It's your duty to try to avoid getting raped." No, NO, NO, NO!!! It is YOUR responsibilty to keep your damn pants zipped! Rape is assault, women NEVER ask for it by how they are dressed or how they act. ARE you serious, blaming the victim? Women would not be raped if men didn't rape them, that is wholly totally the fault of the man, the man is committing a crime. A crime just like any other assault. If you cannot see women as a person equal to you, then you are a huge part of the problem. Now, I am going to take a deep breath and try to address your questions in order. Asking a woman if she is pregnant can be understood as asking her if she has gained weight. It ain't none of your business. But if you want to be a neanderthal, forge on. And no, I am not going to ask any male I know if he has lost weight because it ain't my business. #1. Often bad behavior in boys is overlooked because they are boys. That is BS. Boys can learn rules just like any other decent human being. #2. I don't know who you've been hanging with but I am fine with deep emotions from men. I have never lost respect for a man who cried. #3, that is your perspective, I disagree. #4 My comment is that often insults are more derogatory to the female. And I don't care about your love of female body parts. Women are more than the sum of their different body parts, as are all humans. I would hope that you love the whole woman, but not my business. #5. I am sorry you think I am condescending. But see above. Rape is a crime because a man chooses to rape. Nuns get raped, and you can't say they were dressed provocatively. Older women in bad health have been raped in nursing homes, that is not a crime of passion or a woman drunk, or a woman dressed provocatively. That is a man being an asshole. Rape is always, always, always the fault of the RAPIST. #6, that advice came from my uncle who loved me dearly and I loved him more than my father. He was in fact my father's youngest brother. He gave the advice from the point of view of his generation, he was born in the early 30s. That was common advise you young women at the time. The male ego being such a fragile thing that men could not stand the competition.

That males are viewed as inherently more dangerous, whether in babysitting, or room-sharing, or whatever. I've never understood it and I hear it so frequently from other women, that they'd never trust a guy to watch their children.
HippieChick58 replies on Mar 3, 2018:
@ScienceBiker @Gravija I did have a male roommate, but I knew he was harmless when I took him in. He's a few years younger than I am, but with Diabetic peripheral retinopathy and diabetic neuropathy I had nothing to fear from him physically. I dated him a few years before his health nosedived, and we remained sort of friends. He has a passive aggressive thing which was offputting. He fell on really hard times and needed a place to stay until a more permanent place could be arranged. So I took him in. I live way out in the burbs, no busses, so not an ideal place for him. He really wanted a girlfriend, but he had more baggage than I wanted to deal with. He found a new girlfriend from POF or OKC and moved in with her. And yet I see him on dating sites from time to time.

@buck1977 but only s/he can make that determination. I don't truly know, I've always known I was female. However I believe for all my certainty there are others just as certain of their ambiguity. Other peoples/races recognize more than two genders. And truly, the more I know, the more I know I don't know it all. I would say that only YOU know how YOU feel, and only YOU can decide if you are truly male. I'm not going to make judgements for other people because I am not other people.

HippieChick58 replies on Mar 2, 2018:
@LadyAlyxandrea You're right, we have to look at all the evidence we can get. Work comp is more narrowly focused than STD is. WC looks at if it is work related, STD is overall disability. Life can be disabling. Taekwondo could be part of your therapy to help you get better. I hope you have a good experience and you get the medical help/advice you need to get back to good health.

Yep! I plan on relearning some math before I take any placement tests for college. I can't afford to take remedial classes. College Algebra is a prerequisite for any of my major's other required credits.
HippieChick58 replies on Mar 1, 2018:
I did better with Algebra as an adult than I ever did in HS. I think in HS my brain just wasn't mature enough for it, science tells us our brains don't fully mature til 25. My math synapses didn't seem fully functional in HS. Taking similar courses as an adult it seemed easy.

I iron when I am sewing, it just makes it easier to put pieces together. If I have to iron clothing or other items I put it off almost forever.

HippieChick58 comments on Feb 27, 2018:
Choose happy. What makes you happy, do that. Choose to look on the bright side. Nurture yourself. Count your advantages. If you make up your mind that you will be happy, then you will be happy. If you choose otherwise it will happen. You have to make the decision and then do it.

The difference between dogs and cats - all you need to know
David1955 comments on Feb 21, 2018:
Cats are great. Dogs are not. The end. (Hope I didn't go too fast for you. :-). )
HippieChick58 replies on Feb 25, 2018:
@David1955 my dog loved adults and liked to lean against them. Kids he pretty much ignored unless they had food. I never let the dog offleash around other people, and he was only offleash in safe areas. But I know what you mean about dogs going after you because you are there. I was attacked by chihuahuas when I was growing up, just walking home from school. Why that woman let the dogs out when the kids were walking by escapes me, but i started kicking at them, damn nippy little freaks. To this day I loathe Chihuahuas.
For those who think that this generation is something not so wonderful, here is a little insight.

antitheism comments on Nov 19, 2017:
My position is I'll never have to make that choice so I need to stay the fuck out of it.
HippieChick58 replies on Feb 25, 2018:
@jorj Do you wrap your whopper every time you have sex with a woman? Do you take every step possible to prevent conception? If you are "hoping" that she won't get pregnant you're fooling yourself. Unless you are actively preventing pregnancy you are leaving yourself open to pregnancy happening. If you don't want a baby created without your full consent then get a vasectomy, which may be wise if alcohol frequently prevents you from using good judgement. Or as my daddy told my brothers, don't have sex with a woman you don't want to make a baby with.
