I wanna give you a mom hug. I'm so sorry that moron made you question anything. Read my comment above. If you don't want kids, oh please do not have them. Kids are tough on a person and relationships. And costly little buggers too. If you were a man no one would blink twice that you focused on your career and education. You go girl, be strong. You're better than any of the naysayers.

When I was still going to church they said "prayer changes you." And in a way that is kind of true. I prayed for wisdom in dealing with my then husband, and I actually got my answer in a sermon where the pastor talked about her divorce, and I filed for divorce. And I sent a thank you note to that pastor. Funny, I never heard from her again.

Having lived in Louisiana, I remember when the DeRidder/Leesville area got the first Walmart and how excited we were. That was 34 years ago. I now live in an area where there is lots of choice. We recently got several Chick Fil A's. I went in one just to see how it had changed. Maybe because it was new, service was not good. As there are literally hundreds of other fast food places in town I will skip Chick Fil A. can get healthy at Panera or Chipotle. I don't decorate for any holiday, so that isn't an issue. If I did I'd go to Jo Ann's and/or Michael s. I don't ever go to Walmart, I have Target closer and Costco that is convenient.

It there is a breeze and makes the leaves sway they will be right there to attack. Cats have amazing fantasy lives.

Is anybody else a middle child here?

LizBeth comments on Feb 6, 2018:

I have an older brother and a younger sister - I am the middle child. I am also the ‘bad’ one - and the ‘best’ one lol.

HippieChick58 replies on Feb 12, 2018:

@LizBeth My middle child turns 30 in about 5 weeks. Today she texted and asked about my labor with her. She has no children. I'm not sure that it is related to her birthday or not. She was 15 days late, she started off life being contrary.

Auto Correct

Lauren comments on Feb 12, 2018:

My daughter's name is Sarah and autocorrect insists on changing her name to Satan, so I'm always writing things like, "Satan will be home so she can sign for it." It seems as soon as I stop double-checking her name every time, it starts up again. Just an after-note: I do typically find it ...

HippieChick58 replies on Feb 12, 2018:

I have a Sarah as well and I have caught it several times being changed to Satan, Santa also got changed to Satan.

What a drag it is getting old.

Sinclair Lewis: "When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross."

HippieChick58 replies on Feb 11, 2018:

@jayneonacobb I disagree. From Wikipedia: Fascism is a form of radical authoritarian nationalism, characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and control of industry and commerce, which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe. The first fascist movements emerged in Italy during World War I before it spread to other European countries. Opposed to liberalism, Marxism and anarchism, fascism is usually placed on the far-right within the traditional left–right spectrum

Pants. Who the hell started the custom that its the guys who have to wear pants. No, really. Logically, SKIRTS are more suited for guys. And behaviourally, too. Guys need to "manspread", and women, the opposite. It's all so illogical. :P

HippieChick58 replies on Feb 11, 2018:

@SamKerry OMG yes! And men started the high heel trend. Neck ties are just plain stupid, who wants to tie a noose around their neck first thing in the morning. BUT, I'd rather wear pants than a skirt. They're warmer, and I don't have to worry about what might be showing.

Legalize it?

Knd502 comments on Feb 10, 2018:

Legalize it. I’ll take it a step further, legalize all drugs and legalize prostitution. Quit wasting money on the “war on drugs” and add sex education to health classes. Education is so important.

HippieChick58 replies on Feb 11, 2018:

@Knd502 I agree. I have something you want, you're willing to pay for it, lets make a deal. It is illegal because the government can't tax or regulate it. That can be done and I think it is healthier for all concerned.
