Soaring Solo 2010

G, it'll happen. 57 is the new 47 and from your looks you don't look a day older than 50. Have you tried Match.com or eHarmony.com? You should when you're ready!

SR,

...and from your looks you don't look a day older than 50.

Oh, you, sir are my new favorite friend!

Have you tried Match.com or eHarmony.com? You should when you're ready!

I don't know. I don't think so. I'm not looking for that one special person.
Been there. Done that. Got the "Discarded" tee-shirt.

[ImprovedRomeo]

You know G...it's amazing what you can learn from a 5yo and what mine has taught me is that persistence pays off. You fall, you get up again and try harder...keep at it and it'll happen whatever it is.

You may have gotten discarded by one person out of a million but who cares? and we all know that that one person wasn't the smartest or the most trustworthy either.

Maybe you don't have to look for that one special person...I don't think they charge extra if you have 2 or 3

Romeo,

...Maybe you don't have to look for that one special person...I don't think they charge extra if you have 2 or 3

Now that...that's more like it!

Thanks, CTH.
I love Chicago. StepD moved there in '03 and for a NYC born and raised BIC (Bronx Irish Catholic) I love Chicago, and still do. Was last there in late October.

I sure could use a "(very attractive) friend."

How to start over completely from scratch @ 56? (57 in three weeks.)
Where? How?

Oh, well. It will happen; it will make itself known

I know what you mean. I started over at 33; it was no picnic, but it was nothing like this (at 52 when all this began). All I can say is...one breath at a time.

Somehow STBXW at 38 doesn't share the same mindset. To her things will be great for her...

[hoosiermama]

they always seem to think that way. it's part of the "syndrome."

[Mrs. A]

Gardener, you're a poet - and I know YOU know you have a lot of fans on here. We think you're awesome!

I'm glad the water did what it was supposed to do.

My very best wishes as always,
Mrs. A

[Gardener]

Mrs. A.,
How sweet and kind.
That meant a lot.
All the best.

[Gardener]

Tonight.
Gardener.
Blind date.
Go figure.
What the hell.
Later.
