Hey Barb, my government assistance crack was black social services humour, I just didn't want to offend anyone out there with out of place comments. Anyway, your advice is certainly appreciated re the online dating thing. I do peruse the possibilities and formulate sometimes what I might say to that person if I ever did contact them! It's kind of a preparatory exercise. One of the things that has occured to me about dating is that not only am I looking to get out there again after 20 years but I'm looking for different things. When I was dating previously I was looking for someone to marry and raise a family with...those days are long over now. It's a whole new ballgame, so as you did, it's good to think about what you are looking for. Darned if I know! Let's see...umm...she has to be female, that's as far as I've gotten so far. It's a good thing you gave me six months.
