Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to explore a word. From Wikipedia: Lust is a strong emotion or feeling. The lust can take any form such as the lust for sexuality, lust for expensive objects (extravagance) or the lust for power. It can take such mundane forms as the lust for food as distinct from the need for food. Lust is a psychological force producing intense wanting for an object, or circumstance fulfilling the emotion.[1]

My pet has the horrible habit of not existing.

HippieChick58 replies on Feb 2, 2018:

@icolan I hear ya. Dogs are fabulous if you have a yard and the time for them. I don't have a dog because my yard is not fenced and I'm frequently out of the house for 12 hours or more. Not good for a dog. The cats are good with dry food, fresh water, and a sorta clean litter box. My cat allergies are under control. I am considering a small dog after I retire but that is still a few years off.

LucifersPen comments on Jan 31, 2018:

Hate to break it to you, but a "spiritual atheist" is an oxymoron. It's one or the other, but you can't have both.

Is being overweight the new fad?

HippieChick58 comments on Jan 31, 2018:

I think many people regard "normal" weight as fat, given the Hollywood/movie star/model anorexia that we have been subject to for so long. The reality is more Americans are overweight than ever before. There is so much sugar in our food chain, even foods that aren't sweet have excess sugar. It ...

Game of Thrones, Stranger Things and I'm really liking Happy! on syfy channel. The first too are the most popular in the U.S. right now. Happy! Is based on an awesome graphic novel of the same name.

@jayneonacobb Everything I know about GOT I learned from my kids who are huge fans. That is the extent of my interest. I bought some GOT themed stuff for Xmas gifts for one of the SILs (Sons in Law). I am aware there are two houses battling and it is a complicated plot. After that I'm lost.

HippieChick58 comments on Jan 31, 2018:

I am honest, I am who I am and what I am. I'm too old to play games. I don't want to waste time cultivating a relationship with false pretenses. I ask questions I want answered, and I ask about the important stuff. Usually I will know most of the important stuff before we meet in person.

HippieChick58 replies on Jan 31, 2018:

@MrLizard My understanding of spirit or soul is that spark that makes me who I am. Not given by any god, but born with me and grows with me. It is what makes me different from any other person, why one size does not fit all. My uniqueness if you will. I nurture my uniqueness.

HippieChick58 replies on Jan 31, 2018:

I disagree. I like to know exactly what words mean and I looked up Spiritual.- relating to or affecting the human spirit or soul as opposed to material or physical things. The spirit is the essence of us, it has nothing to do with religion or "holy spirit". It is who she is and she is honoring that. She can have both.
