      Yep, going to a very Special Lady's Home, a week from Saturday. 8)
She's closer to my age and no Husband (or boyfriend, yet)! I'm feeling GOOD! ;)

  Thank you Sir, I was really needing an uplift and this Lady is, as I said, VERY SPECIAL.

  Previously, I was feeling like another woman, younger than me, was looking for a new start with me (said she was having doubts about her boy friend) and I ended up feeling like I was taken for a ride. I should have known better. but it has been 40yrs! Can you say "Rusty"?

  Anyway, THIS Lady (and I use the term Lady, because she IS) is a Very Nice Person and I'm looking forward to that night. Been a VERY Long time! 8)

    There ya go! I'm already feeling younger. 8)

     Thanks, I've got a good feeling about this, because I KNOW this Lady isn't the type to lead a person on. We've known her through Bost, where we both work and my Daughter is a client of. Also, I know that Brenda would approve. I have needed this so much and, right now, I'm on a high that no drugs could achieve! Karla likes her too and
wants me to be happy again! ;)

 If this goes well, like I think (hope) it will, I'm asking her over here for a meal prepared by me. Yes, I CAN cook. ;)

       Yeah but, stop and think. The last time, there were things that happened that lead up to my meeting Brenda and that led to almost 40yrs with a Wonderful Woman (til she passed away) and there have already been several things that seem like good indicators and I don't want to take a chance of blowin' it, you know? Besides, at almost 63 years of age, it's not like my throttle GOES ALL the way OPEN anymore (not suddenly, anyway). ::)

                         Thanks for the input though, Bill ;)

way to go! it's never too late to pursue happiness. when it's all over (deathbed) no one thinks I wish I would've not tried this or that. if you want something go for it, if it doesn't work out you're no worse off. and better for the experience!

and you never know where you will find love. after about a million failed attempts I have a great girl. not what I expected, she's about 7 yrs. older than me! but simply an amazing human being.

follow your heart, make yourself happy. even if it ends in pain you will not regret it in the long run. all experiences, positive or negative add to our understanding and eventually we can learn what it takes to achieve happiness if we are not afraid to risk those painful ones.

good luck!

btw: I get that it's kinda odd for a 34 yr old to give life advice to a 60 yr old, but it's meant in the best way. it just makes my day to hear something good after listening to horrible news and all the other ills of the world all the time.

           Don't know how she feels about critters or motorcycles yet, just have to wait and sse on that.

            She's a Great Lady and seems to be pretty comfortable with ME, so that's ONE critter she likes. :D
