Good Morning Everyone! I hope everyone is having a good day filled with laughter *puts on a pot of coffee and danish* Last night I hand coded some webpages...all that focusing totally wore me out! So, did that for a short while, played feather on a stick with the cat then crashed. Today its more working on webpages although I am thinking of taking a break for a day.
Zimmy, thats great that you and Clay are meeting, I hope you have a wonderful time! Who knows maybe a connection will be made
Mr, it was good seeing you....don't be a stranger...i miss you
Cody, I think Karma has become the mascot for the Singles Thread Give Karma ear scratches from me
Have a wonderful day everyone!

[Zimmeh]

Good Morning Everyone,

Thank you CF, but I cannot go meet Clay anytime soon. It's going to cost me almost $800 for the deposits and rent in order to move July 7th.

I had the director of the DeVry University alumni association call me yesterday. I had said that I was interested in becoming their secretary. Matt sent me a text lastnight and said that I got the position. I am excited and they are going to announce it tomorrow at our dinner!!!

I think Karma, Holli and Chase are the thread dogs and all of the cats, are the thread kitties. I have one sitting next to me who thinks she is my owner.

Have a great day,

Zimmy

This is my second day on this site & am glad I found it. I have been single for way too long but it was where I have been at & I accept that. I am in my late 50's & find it so hard to start over but this is a first step, right? I was in a 19 year relationship. I was faithful but she was not- several times. I finally ended it and asked her to move out. I think I was so wounded by her that I have really needed to heal on my own for the last 5 years. I am healed but still unsure how to date again since I am no longer in my 20's.
I am an RN with a bachelors degree. I have two grown daughters who are both married with children. I am a gamer (go ahead- laugh! Just read in Time that average age if gamer is now 37); I read a lot both "good" literature & zombie books (no idea why I dig them); garden-roses; just got a personal trainer; lost a lot of weight that I put on during those 18 years and I am starting over! Why did I join? I just saw a news item about a widow/widower in their 90's & thought: "Hell yes! Time to get my ass in gear"!

Morning Anya:
Kudos to you, your battle for healing yourself, and for stepping out! I apologize for the behavior of your ex.....it just makes me so hurt....how people treat one another!
I was in a very loving, very nurturing, wonderful relationship for 15 years...and have no baggage, so to speak! What I DO carry is a warm, loving, caring heart filled with many beautiful memories.....and love from an incredible woman!!! She was taken from me March 2009 with Stage IV Breast Cancer with mets to liver/lung/bone/kidney/pelvis/skull/and brain! She was a very intelligent RN, Charge Nurse of a major trauma ER for almost 24 years....Baccalaureate degree in pre med chem/bio with a nursing degree, in National Honor Society of Nurses, as well as MENSA! To me...she was my world...my life...my heartbeat. We did everything together...never an angry word was spoken, we committed and honored that..for 15 awesome years. The day she passed I thought I would die right along with her...but I survived..and while we fought the Cancer for 26 months...we lived life to the fullest...a train trip to Boston then over to PTown, couple trips to the western NC mountains to gem mine, and 2 surprise b'day parties. The rest of that time...we were living life....spending quality time...talking....refusing to let C dominate our lives! Her spirit was incredible..being positive to her last breath....at home,in my arms as she wished! I have taken the last two and a half years to heal....carve a niche for myself in life as one again. You are absolutely correct. It is very different in today's dating world..as opposed to when we were in our 20's. I am an OFOS (old fashioned, old school) kind of Butch...who believes in getting to know, dating, and a courtship. I want to enjoy those butterflies of each new date...anticipation of that first kiss to be very special and significant. As one lady wrote so eloquently here...I wish to meet "someone genuine who is genuinely interested in me" (credits to Dixielady). I want to open doors for her, pull out her chair, walk her to her door,bringing her a small boquet of flowers...."just because" maybe get a kiss on the cheek...spend quality time getting to look into her eyes and her soul, discovering all those million tiny things that make her HER....savoring the time spent....going slowly. So, so many wonderful, small, yet really huge steps in that dating/courtship phase....each to be savored, relished, and enjoyed. Taking the time to know each other....falling into like...and love to progress over time...anyway I could write a book here. I have had a very enduring, very loving, positive, healthy relationship..and 15 years wasn;t near long enough...but I am happy to have had that..she is always going to be a huge part of me, who I am, and my heart! I have her memories. One day a wonderful lady will sweep me off my feet...and I am in no rush. I know love is patient...love is kind...and when we open our hearts, let go, and enjoy this world, love has an amazing way of finding us...til then I am enjoying my single days...smelling the fresh air, watching a sunset, skipping in the rain, and loving myself....she is out there in this universe...I BELIEVE. I have known a wonderful love and I will again...may each of you get to experience this kind of incredible love as well!
Take care, my new friend....and if you ever would like to talk..PM me....enjoy a sunrise today...and know that surely goodness and wholeome loving women do exist.....bright sunshine in your world today..Clay

aww thank you Zimmy. I have an appt for Chase on Friday to be spayed, get all her shots and have a microchip implanted. Poor pup will be sore for a few days but it has to be done.

[Zimmeh]

Good Morning HD,

I was out cleaning my storage unit out and then came home to have lunch and watch a show on NetFlix from the National Geographic. I then took a two hour nap and then started unloading my car. Hope Chase's appointment goes well on Friday and just to let you know, my two and a half year old nephew's name is Chase. Good choice!

How was work lastnight?

Good Morning Everyone,

It is a cheddar omelet morning with turkey bacon. Tonight is our alumni dinner and I am looking forward to it! I still cannot believe I was giving the secretary's position with the Alumni committee!

Welcome Anya to the thread and hope you are doing good!

Clay, can I borrow your toaster?

CF, hope you are doing good and that you were able to go to the pool yesterday.

Cody, hope you and Karma are doing good and how is Karma's little paw doing?

Have a great day,

Zimmy

Good Morning Z Girl:
Of course you can borrow my toaster....BUT it IS blue, NOT pink!!! lol...Works same though. I wil meet you at Exit 230 off I95 k? lol....
Your breakfast sounds good....got any left?
I was exhausted yesterday...what with my media interview, crime scene units here for 4 hrs day before, detectives talking to me again, and all the NOSY neighbors poking around...it just renewed my fears for her safety and well being. Always before the BF would be stalking here if he couldn't find her...and he has yet to come and ask anyone of us if we have seen her. Now they have the Homicide Investigative Unit here...so I just went into my room and shut the world out last evening! I have cried rivers and rivers over this...it is senseless..anyway...I will hush now....have a great day and I can believe they appointed you Secretary! YOU are awesome girl!!!! YOU rockkkk!! Hugs my friend...Clay
PS You can use my toaster as long as you like...here ya go...

Good Morning Everyone;
It's a rainy day here too ..I have a lousy cold and finally got some sleep ,and feel a little better. I'm usually up at 445am,,and due to rain,got to sleep in,*S*yay,,Anyways.hope everyone has a good day today. I plan on doing some school work and just taking it easy..Anya, I know how that can be,I was in a 13 yr relationship that just ended without a word. That was 5 yrs ago more or less. I have had only one "serious" (or so I thought) relationship since then. I loved her to pieces.,but it ended as did my desires to find another on these sites. It's hard to find someone to talk to and believe now. As well as someone who's real and true. I'm an Old School Butch? Daddy and I have very strong morals and values that I live by. Which is probaly my downfall.I don't know. Anyways. I'm single again and enjoying my time with my dog and work and my beautiful Grandson*S* and my Family.. I hope everyone has a great weekend coming up. I am babysitting and doing school work and house work,,lol,,Eyup. The Finn sure knows how to have a fun weekend !! LOL.. Enjoy everyone,,and I look forward to chatting with you all here..

Morning Dixie:
I would gladly take some of the rains here. We have had dense smoke fog for the last 3 weeks with rain only once during that time. Check out www.news4jax.com to see some images of this smoke fog. Planes have onkly a mile visibility...scary eh? We are slated for some rain this Friday..and none too soon. There are 157 fires in and around Jax and more on the Ga/Fl line.....in the afternoon with the heat and low ceiling is the worst for the smoke fog....my eyes are shot....I go out long enough to potty my dog. Folks wander around with paper masks on...it has particulates in the air...so folks are cautionary. Anyway have a great day! Donna

You're so sweet and yep, I've been stalking you for a long time. Are you going to the reunion? I've been kicking it around and Wolfy is going. We could teach you some stuff then, dance-wise

Why yes, I am going to the reunion. You should come and hang out with us!

[Zimmeh]

That is how it was when I went to my mom's house last Friday. The smoke was so thick, that you could see it coming over the St. John's River bridge on I-4. It made the heat more unbearable and I took a chance and turned my a/c on.

Have fun today and keep cool!

Good Morning Finn,

Have you tried having a cup of hot Earl Grey tea? I have found, that this helps with opening up my sinuses so I can breathe.

Have fun this weekend and get to feeling better!
