Today's Question: What skill would you like to master?

Lucy_Fehr comments on Jan 8, 2019:

Swimming. I had a bad experience as a child according to my father and my step father threw me in deep water when I was 12 and I nearly drowned. My mother had to go rescue me so I never learned to swim. I have spent much time on boats but only with people I was related to so I could be assured of being saved Just as I was finding the courage to learn, I tore my shoulder and had to have surgeries and I feel I probably wont ever learn. I faced a lifelong fear of flying last year, stood against the glass of the space needle in the same week and my last phobia is swimming I want to jetski, parasail and paddleboard

Lucy_Fehr comments on Jan 8, 2019:

I was kinda meh about jodie before she was cast but wanted to like her in it. Perhaps I could have liked her had the writing not sucked so bad in how they wrote her. And the others for that matter. The rosa parks episode wasn't that bad but the only character the writers seem to like is gramps.

I am so ready, springtime wish it was here.

Friends, how do I keep from hating him? Hatred is toxic. But I hate him so hard.

Lucy_Fehr comments on Jan 8, 2019:

I detest him with a loathing that heretofore had been reserved for those who had done harm to me or mine on a personal level. Said that with no cursing.

How do you respond to messages from those you have no interest in?

Lucy_Fehr comments on Jan 8, 2019:

Since most of them don't read my profile before contacting me I just tell them I don't believe in god and rarely hear back. Some will respond with something about not caring about it but it goes no further. I think I have had a couple get nasty

My perfect bathroom would look like a jungle with a natural stone waterfall My perfect living room would look like a pool hall lol

I thought of you guys when I saw this one

Lucy_Fehr comments on Jan 6, 2019:

I used to cry because of work but one thing retail is good at is sucking the feelings out of you. I have much less empathy for people than I should these days. I feel bad about it on an intellectual level because I know it could turn me into one of those bitter old people that treat others like shit but turning off the feels is how you get through 40 years of being treated like less than.

Lucy_Fehr comments on Jan 6, 2019:

Interesting.. I may give it a shot. I've taken myself off the dating sites for the most part and only have an active profile on one of them. I've been guilty of messaging too long because I kinda knew that the guy I was messaging with was unsuitable but felt obligated to keep "talking". There just aren't many non theist men my age in this area on the sites.

So.

Today's question: What bridges do you not regret burning?

Lucy_Fehr comments on Jan 4, 2019:

My first husband. He was a cruel and manipulative asshole. When I discovered my then 2 year old daughter covered in bruises, everything he owned went in the front yard. Including his beloved suede coat. Damn shame it rained that night.

There has been a lot of debate on the use of medical robots lately.

Lucy_Fehr comments on Jan 4, 2019:

My cancer removal was robotic surgery which I assumed meant that the surgeon used it as an aid. My daughter had a broken needle removed from her jaw using a machine called the navigator. The maxo specialist was quite excited to be using it.

Hey guys, it's time to start those home repair projects this weekend.

Lucy_Fehr comments on Jan 4, 2019:

Why did I enthusiastically jump into repairing shit in my home when I was in my 30's but am now too chicken shit because I fear doing more damage and thus requiring a professional to rescue me?

Today's question should be a fun and interesting one: Tell us about a favorite article of clothing ...

Lucy_Fehr comments on Jan 2, 2019:

Funny that this question came up now. I bike a lot and I dont listen to music in order to hear the traffic coming so I let my thoughts wander randomly. I was thinking of retro clothing and suddenly thought of a pair of pants I wore every time they were clean back in the 70s Maroon cord de roi with zippers running from the waist to the hem on the front of both legs. I loved them so much that when I had a growth spurt and they became the dreaded highwaters, I sewed some black velvet on the bottom I don't remember getting rid of them I would sell my soul to the first person to find me a pair lol

Your on a plane and the person sitting next to you has extreme BO. What would you do ?

It seems that 90% of the women in my search range haven't signed in since October or before.

Lucy_Fehr comments on Jan 2, 2019:

Not many people in my area of any gender either. I suspected when I joined that I would not find a match because I live in a small town full of rednecks and retirees I stay to interact with people that are non religious. I try to log on twice a day for an hour to skim topics. Occasionally I check for new people in my area but rarely find one. And most of them are still level 1 so they aren't actually using the site. If you decide to not use the site then when some future person logs on, then you are contributing to your area having a dearth of users.

Been busy for a while now.

Lucy_Fehr comments on Jan 2, 2019:

Finally! Someone that feels similar as I do about the holidays. I lost my zeal years ago for a combination of reasons such as funerals of close family members on christmas fucking eve and a lifetime of being in retail so I have a front row seat to the spectacle of consumerism and manipulation. That adage about the season bringing out the best in people may be true but my experience has been that it brings out the worst in people. I make an effort for my grandchildren who are aging out of it themselves. In five years the youngest will be in college and I likely won't make any effort. I'm not sad about it, I just do not see or feel the magic

After a year that saw four major surgeries on my back, nerve damage to my left leg, being confined ...

Lucy_Fehr comments on Jan 2, 2019:

People like you inspire others.

You know you're getting old when you see 45 and think that's too young. Lol

Lucy_Fehr comments on Jan 2, 2019:

That is the absolute youngest I will consider and even then it's unlikely. I prefer 5 years plus or minus.

Today's Question: What's the one thing you hope to accomplish or acquire in 2019?

Lucy_Fehr comments on Jan 1, 2019:

I hope to become more social. I've allowed my work schedule to limit my social life. I've been trying recently but it's so much easier to just fall back into old habits and get online or watch tv instead of getting out there and doing shit- even if I have to do it solo.

It took me 53 years to perfect who I am.

When people ask me what my new year resolution is, my response is "to not make any resolutions"

Today's question: Who in your life has impressed you most with what they’ve accomplished?

Lucy_Fehr comments on Dec 31, 2018:

Outside of family members I have a casual friend that I geocache with that lost 87 pounds on the keto diet. She had never shown herself to be particularly disciplined and like to drink a lot of beer. Regardless of my view of fad diets, I'm impressed with her willpower

Oh my, with all the excitement in my life, I forgot today's question: Is there a particular place, ...

Lucy_Fehr comments on Dec 30, 2018:

If it is just a polite greeting, I respond with something like "every day above ground is a good day" but serious inquiries will usually get an honest answer depending on time constraints. Fact is that I am pretty good at being impassive

All the more reason to secure the southern border.

Lucy_Fehr comments on Dec 30, 2018:

The wall is a waste of money. If humans can scale mountains and get across oceans, a damn wall will not stop them. It is not just the cost of building it, it is the astronomical sum of money needed to maintain it that many detractors have with it

I am now a grandfather. It's not news , I suppose I knew it was coming for 9 months eh?

Lucy_Fehr comments on Dec 30, 2018:

I had tears when my first grandchild was born. Not with the others although I love them all just as much. I guess the first one is more overwhelming or something. Grandchildren give us the opportunity to say yes to all the things as parents we had to say no to LOL I became a grandmother in my late 30's though.

Question: How do you go about finding new friends to hang out with?

Lucy_Fehr comments on Dec 30, 2018:

I'm an extrovert but also have difficulty hanging out with people but my problem is a combination of a crazy work schedule and my progeny with her progeny living here. Between having to be in bed when most people are eating dinner and a cluttered house full of young people, I can't socialize. So I don't really. That sounds really sad I think LOL

And here's a good one that's going to require some thought: What are you afraid of people seeing ...

Anyone have any experience with an Inga tree?

Lucy_Fehr comments on Dec 29, 2018:

Update: I got one for christmas from my daughter. I've always wondered if comments move old posts back to the top as facebook does. Gonna find out I suppose lol

When I looked at who viewed me, it said "Hovered". What does that mean?

Lucy_Fehr comments on Dec 29, 2018:

I don't attach much importance to hovering since anyone using a mouse will hover inadvertently. I hovered on one just now while typing this out when I moved my mouse over in order to type LOL

Just an fyi to anyone here noticing my existence.

Lucy_Fehr comments on Dec 28, 2018:

I don't use my phone for this site so no picture but I got an Inga tree from my daughter which is quite expensive but she managed to get it at more than half off.

Lucy_Fehr comments on Dec 24, 2018:

Grey roots are much less noticeable when you're blonde. I "dressed up" for work today by wearing silver jeans and a purple shirt with silver threads instead of my customary ugly uniform. The reactions of my co-workers was amusing.since I have never done it before. I organized a secret santa thing that didnt stay secret but got a camel pack by the young person that got my name who also happens to be the boss. Since Im a hiker and geocacher, it was a very thoughtful gift.

Spending my first holiday alone in eleven years and not sure what I'm going to be doing.

Lucy_Fehr comments on Dec 24, 2018:

A number of years ago I spent christmas alone and it was fucking glorious. I love my daughter and grandkids but since I left home at 16, I have only ever lived solo for at most a year in total. First is was nuclear family; then marriage and kids; then no marriage and kids; then significant other and kids; then single and kids, etc. About 11 years ago, I spent nearly 9 months living all by myself, but then back with significant other along with his kid and parents; my parents for 6 months; middle kid and grandkid 6 months; 2 months alone and finally my current situation of kid and grandkids for the last 5 years.

At root I blame Trump for the government shutdown.

Lucy_Fehr comments on Dec 24, 2018:

Republicans control all three branches of government yet it's primarily the dems fault the government shut down? I'm gonna guess you watch fox news You can not give into a bully unless you expect to always be giving into a bully. Others have already laid out the true cost of the wall so I will add my voice to theirs

I want Trump to stay.

I've been struggling a lot as Christmas approaches.

Lucy_Fehr comments on Dec 23, 2018:

My grandmother- who raised me died on 12/23 thirty years ago and my brother was killed on December 18 a few years later. Both funerals were conducted on Dec 24th Somehow supposed to make shit easier they said. My grandmother's death put me in early labor so my son's birthday is a reminder and although my father didn't die at christmas, he was dead before another one came. I lost my zeal for everything xmas after that. I made an effort for my children but once they were gone, I stopped. Now I do it a bit for the grandkids but all of that added to being in retail and seeing the ugly commercial side of it has made it a chore to get through It will get better with time but I just wanted to say I feel ya and to offer the only advice I have: stay busy and work on getting through each minute. Don't look think about future holidays.

Today's question recommended by a member: Everyone has quirks.

Lucy_Fehr comments on Dec 20, 2018:

I MUST sleep with a crocheted afghan so that I can stick my toes through the holes. I have a shorter one that goes on vacation with me. When I had a boyfriend, there was one at his house. When I had to fly to seattle for my cruise, I took it with me even though I had to sacrifice clothing to get it in there On the rare occasions that I forget to take it or can't, I will not be able to sleep I also cannot stand the feeling of sheets touching my toenails so a piece of the afghan is between my feet and the bed. No top sheet on my bed. Ever. When I was young and had more time, I would turn the top sheep of a set into curtains which I changed when I changed the sheets.

Out of curiosity, how many of you have seen Mankind: The Story of All of Us?

Now we're on facebook and have plans to meet up again. but the other cousin appears to have zero interest. I found her on facebook and she locked down her facebook after I contacted her there.

Okay then, someone has proposed a question. Here goes: Are you satisfied with your own sex?

Lucy_Fehr comments on Dec 18, 2018:

Yeah I am. Prior to puberty I thought boys had a better deal than I did so wanted to be one too. I am what I am. Of all the things I would like to change in my life or about myself, gender is not one of them.
