As I mentioned a friend suggested on-line dating and gave me a web address. She told me to just go check it out; what the heck, I could just see who was out there right?
I have found out I am very vain. Yep, I want to date a guy who looks good but at the same time old enough to remember JFK, the Viet Nam war, Janice Joplin and Bonanza. That my friends is not an easy find. Well, I started checking out guys - you look at a photo and decide if you want to know more and then you check out their profile. I really am vain - very picky!
Depending on how much you want to write, you either get a lot of info or just enough to make you want to learn more or NOT.
Ok, I am from the "old school" and have a difficult time making the first contact. Do I e-mail? Do I wink? or maybe if I check out his profile, he will see that and make contact with me. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. And yes, I have winked at a few - once by mistake - moved my mouse and hit that button in error.
Once a contact is made the e-mailing begins. I'll share more later.

News Year - New Experiences
In January I decided it was time to "stop eating my feelings" (I borrowed that saying from a friend) and get out and live life, again. I was married for 35years; separated for four years and divorced for one.
So, I got off the couch, stopped eating ice cream every night, put some Joe Cocker in the cd player and started dancing around the house - at least one hr every day - down 13 pounds and counting!
I'm no spring chicken - I didn't have a clue about meeting people. Do I just walk into a bar, order a drink and hope for the best? Not my style; not to mention one drink and I probably couldn't walk out of the place let alone make a wise decision. Friends setting me up -S-C-A-R-Y!!!
So, I sent a message to several of my girl friends on facebook. Most ignored me - they are married and perhaps the thought of suggesting ideas was a jinx? One suggested I go on-line (I'm still deciding if I should thank her)! I swore I would never do that - well, guess what...yep, I did.
Let me tell you, this has been something else - quite the experince. I will take this opportunity to share what goes on in the online dating world-from my prespective. Sometimes funny, sometimes scary, sometimes just down right -What Were You Thinking?
Did you like the web address? One of the guys I went out with actually made that the subject of an e-mail he sent to me. - more to come.
