That's a very positive way to look at it, very good! :)
That's pretty much how I see my weekends too,
happy to not be at work and happy to be able to have some time w/my daughter if she's around (LOL She's 17).

Let's see ... I'm not ready for the holidays at all. This will actually be my first one single and that's rather depressing, but I'm thankful for my family and friends that I will be able to see. I know I'm blessed, just wish I had ... Well ... Y'all know. :)

At one time I was on every singles site in existence, but just like you, not once did they give me a "match" that truly was. They gave me women, women that looked just like me. I don't need a twin. I don't need someone to share clothes with (but I will admit, I love having my honey's T-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts and things to wear around, makes me feel close to them), or to share makeup tips with. I want someone that balances me, not is me. Similarities are good, differences are good ... So yes, like you, I will be doing my own footwork.

I keep reading how it's hard for y'all to tell when we are out there, and I know this to be true. Of course it is. Do me a favor, please just take the time to look around you. We are the ones trying to catch your eye. We are the ones really looking at you. And if you notice us looking, then we are the ones blushing (or at least I do) and grinning at you. That's us. We are there. We see you. We notice you. We appreciate you. If you just look around, maybe you just might see that appreciation from one of us.

I've already figured out it's not very appealing or handy to carry around a 2x4, so will just have to stick with hoping you will look up, unfocus from what you are doing, look around you and see that I am looking at you, hoping you will see, really see me. :praying: (my 2 cents)

Good Morning Singles!!!!!

Coming to you LIVE, from my sick bed!

Gonna be here ALL day, so feel free to do anything to help it pass faster.

If I have a good dream, I'll tell ya about it tomorrow. Good Night eveyone

awwww. thank you so much hun!!!

Afternoon all! Soon off to the dog park with my pooch. Poor guy, he is recovering from the other day, but off pain meds and..... he wants to go see his friends! me, too!

Hugs & kisses! Muzzle bumps, too!

See, I think that if I lived in a more populated area, I would have to get a dog... not only because I happen to LOVE dogs, but so we could go to the dog park and meet others. ;)

Good Evening Mountain,

I am not ready for the holidays...I haven't started Christmas shopping, and I am not sure when I will be able to...

I have a profile on Yahoo's dating site, but I haven't been on that in years.

How are you doing?

Foe awhile, I was on some of these sites and like you, not much luck with just being butch that likes femmes. Not that some very nice women contacted me, but it soon was obvious, they didn't care for my honoring this dynamic and that it matters to me. No real B-F put downs, really, mostly they were truthful about their own attraction variables. rather have them just be up front, anyway.

LOL, I don't know.... I'm glad that I did begin to date after the time I needed after my last relationship, but, now I seem to be in another stage in which I really don't want to date just to be dating (no, there is nothing wrong with that- I needed to try my own wings out, myself). I enjoy dates, themselves and put a lot of energy into figuring out what might be enjoyable as a date with a femme. LOL.. and I do fuss with getting ready!

What I find the most difficult is that I don't fit in well with most of the B-F oriented population here in the Bay Area of CA. in terms of dating and possible coupling again. Many great people, just not many I have met that would be a good match for me. Then, again..... it just isn't all that easy to find who clicks, maybe, in general- for everyone. My age is part of this, I think. Although, I have friends from many age groupings.

I am looking forward to the Planet dating site. Who knows!!!

I too have been on numerous dating sites, still am on a few actually. However, I too find them completely unhelpful. As a matter of fact, I am rarely contacted. Apparently there is something about me that is just... not what anyone wants... LOL!!

And where I live, there just are not BF folks... No matter what I am going to have to travel if I want to date. That being said, I have had it with long distance relationships and am currently trying to limit my potential interests to no more then 3 hours away!

YES!!! Really, I have met some great people at the dog park I go to (have for 10 years, almost every day). Ummm... I even met a femme there once that I dated a few times. We ended up realizing that we were not a match, but very good friend material. She's a very nice woman and her old hound dog is sort of like Frog Dog's Uncle.

For me, it is getting out for a walk (big park) for not only the pooch, but myself, too. There is a gay couple that have greyhounds that I have gotten to know and they always give Frog Dog new balls and treats. These guys have been together for about 30 years! Good dog Dad's, too!

LOL, my little pooch can be a "babe magnet," but what usually is going on is that these women don't get that I am female until I get closer and start talking if I am bundled up for the walk! Oh, well.... There are a lot of butches, some transguys, many andro-dykes that lean more toward just lesbian identity. Some femmes, but not as many as the others ( :(..).

I like many of the dog park "regulars"- I know, weird, but I do consider the dog park as part of my social network.

This will be the first time I will ever spend thanksgiving alone... well, almost alone. My kids and I will be here, with my brother and his wife. Just the 5 of us. My parents are both leaving to visit relatives. My dad to Arkansas and my mom to Utah.

I did invite someone up for the holiday, but I don't think it will happen. I'm actually a little bothered by this. This holiday has always been about family for me. Spending time together playing games, watching movies... whatever it is, but always together. I don't even want to do it at all... but my mom is getting my kids all worked up about it with craft projects and talk of menus and such, which makes me feel worse.

I'll be heading to my parents as I do every year. I do have to work but I'll be getting off at 8 am and I took a vacation day for Friday so I won't have to go in at midnight Thanksgiving night. I know 2 of my brothers will be there with their family. My other brother may show if he doesn't have to work but his wife and children will be there even if he doesn't show. Not sure about my sister and her family. She may be flying down to FL to spend the holiday with her in laws. I'm planning on heading to my parents early so I can lend my Mom a hand with dinner. We always eat early...around 2 pm. That's just my parents usual dinner time. Then we clear the table, have coffee and play Scrabble. Lots of talk and laughter throughout the day. I'm looking forward to it.
