Cool Things You Didn't Know About Circadian Rhythm

HippieChick58 comments on Jan 27, 2018:

My circadian rhythms are so messed up. I know it is killing me, but I figure I can sleep when I'm dead.

HippieChick58 replies on Feb 16, 2018:

@jacpod I work in short term disability claims, and have frequent anxiety. Lots of room for errors to be made. We deal with people who have had close encounters with the medical system/can't work and we control their replacement income. No stress there. 78% of American live paycheck to paycheck, anything that delays a paycheck can be a crisis.

Cupid is Stupid ;)

MrLink comments on Feb 14, 2018:

Oh now.... Cupid is a supernatural, mythical being. And without Cupud's arrows, guys like me have no chance.

Just curious, what do you mean "guy like you?"

What if you were marooned on a tropical Island with trump? Is smash him with a coconut.

How would you like to see Agnostic.com change?

Copenhagun comments on Feb 13, 2018:

Can we already change the color scheme of the website? I was looking around and I don't see a setting for that.

@Admin that is exciting!

Who is your Valentine, on the most important day of the year.

Ride_Captain comments on Feb 14, 2018:

My favorite Valentine was Karen. Those under 45 might not get this.

LOL!! Sigh, I'm so over 45.

HeathenFarmer comments on Feb 14, 2018:

Never found women hard to find but, smart ones, without religious baggage, with common interests and common chemistry; that is not that easy.

HippieChick58 replies on Feb 14, 2018:

And within a comfortable distance. I don't plan to ever move from this area, and most people of the age I want to be involved with are not interested in moving either. Then this thing where it is winter and frigid, and even someone on the fence about moving would look at that and decline.

SamKerry comments on Feb 14, 2018:

Oh no. Do you think he was an actual person with a form letter ready to send out? Or was it a 'bot mailer from the dating site to prop up their member activity?

HippieChick58 replies on Feb 14, 2018:

We had had some real conversations so I'm pretty sure it is a real person, I had recommended a book I finished. In his previous email he had mentioned it had been a while since I had written and I told him I was a poor pen pal and when he got back to Omaha he should let me know. Then I got the Dear (name) email. The minute I get an "I love you" in an email from a person I haven't met in person they're blocked.

Does having an avatar make people more civil on line?

HippieChick58 comments on Feb 13, 2018:

It doesn't make any difference to me. I hope I am always kind and sympathetic.

@KKGator Thank you!!

birdingnut comments on Feb 13, 2018:

If my date is male (previously, they all have been), and we met on a dating site, I would meet him somewhere public in my town for the first few dates. Getting in the same car with someone is dangerous. I once went on a date with the nephew of a nice lady at church, meeting him in a public ...

Wow, good thinking! I'm impressed. I want you as my wing lady!

chicagojcb comments on Feb 12, 2018:

Thanks to Trader Joe's and their awesome prices, I now make it a habit to buy potted flowering plants during the winter. I especially love hyacinths and their scent. I think it dramatically makes me feel less grey no matter what's going on outside.

HippieChick58 replies on Feb 13, 2018:

@evergreen the cats make me laugh. The plants are nice and I love having them, but the cats give me more pleasure. They cuddle better than the plants ever did.

Benthoven comments on Feb 13, 2018:

I tell my evangelical friends who threaten me with hell, "Hell, for me, would be spending eternity with you. You have no idea how awful you are to be around and I can't wait until you're all stuck with each other forever, and ever, and ever, and ever."

HippieChick58 replies on Feb 13, 2018:

Twix have chocolate, I am not a kid. I don't love Twix but I wouldn't turn it down. As for trucks, if I could afford the gas I'd have one.

HippieLupie comments on Feb 12, 2018:

I bought a pair of Himalayan Salt Lamps, I put one in the living room and one in the bedroom. I do feel a bit calmer and notice I do sleep better. They are supposed to help with a lot of different things, plus they are just nice to look at.

HippieChick58 replies on Feb 13, 2018:

@silvereyes Allll the time! They love to eat the Spider Plants which is not good for their tummies. They will dig dirt out of the pots as their tiny little brains tell them too. They will knock plants and everything else off shelves or table tops chasing each other. Hanging plants are tempting to see if they can reach them. It there is a breeze and makes the leaves sway they will be right there to attack. Cats have amazing fantasy lives. I keep the doors to the bedrooms shut to keep the kitties away from the few plants I have left.

The old bloke looks better than he did in the 1960's. And great solo no backing noise!

HippieChick58 replies on Feb 13, 2018:

@FrayedBear don't feel bad. I don't watch TV and I am an American. I only know of Jimmy Fallon through my kids and FB.

Do you think this is media manipulation or just plain marketing?

HippieChick58 comments on Feb 12, 2018:

Apparently one is a later edition. I checked it out on Snopes. I think the headlines could be inflammatory.

@BeeHappy seems so.

HippieChick58 comments on Feb 12, 2018:

I painted my bedroom, I did ombre on one wall, shades of pink. I've never had a really pink bedroom before. I love it, of course if there were ever a man in my life I might go more neutral. Possibly. For now I love it, It is very me.

HippieChick58 replies on Feb 13, 2018:

@GipsyOfNewSpain Paint is not terribly expensive and not an overwhelming project. Now doing the ombre was a pain in the ass, but I wanted to try it. I painted most of the rooms in my house. I hired my son in law to do the rooms where extensive ladder work was needed. I will go up the step ladder, but when it gets to extension ladders, not so much.

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.

I have three girls, the middle child tested me more as a parent, and she's the most responsible now. The shit she used to get into, she is the reason I have gray hair.
