In case anyone is interested a recent accident in Miami when a new walking bridge was recently installed at a Florida University had collapsed on several vehicles passing under it killing 8 people so far and injured many others.

There is an estimate of about 8 cars with varying amounts of drivers and passengers under the bridge that by now are probably dead.

Overall, as sad as it may be I feel that in the world of CS there is an invisible bridge that at times seems to have collapsed in part by poor and or selective communication.

I don't know which is worse. A concrete bridge killing people or a invisible bridge killing opportunities for people to find friends and lovers etc? As I see it a concrete bridge can be rebuilt Friendships can be destroyed forever.

Well, here I am starting over on a new site, although definitely not new to blogging. I must admit starting over with an introduction had me a bit stymied initially and I procrastinated on the dirty deed.

UnFayzed has enticed me into the warm waters of CS blogland, promising not to cannonball me as I tentatively wade into this new pool. Not that I'm some shrinking violet afraid of new adventures - not by a long shot. Nope, I think it's more the time element and I'd much rather be out in nature with my camera than trying to think how to introduce myself.

Who am I? A 65 year old woman in BC, Canada, who's just received her old age pension and is absolutely loving the security that it offers. I also have my own business that keeps me more than busy from May to December. I have a great love for the US, having travelled there not only as a child, but also as an adult. Due to my business, I travel across the border to ship orders twice a week, often taking my bike in the summer time to avail myself of the wonderful rail trails.

I have one adult daughter who lives up north, who I rarely get to see, unfortunately. My mother, at 91, is still very much alive and kicking and I see her fairly frequently. Last year, I purchased my dream home, a 1400 sq ft ranch-style home in a small farming community of about 5,000 people. Although it wasn't a planned move, it was absolutely the best thing I've done. The natural beauty of the area has me out with my camera almost daily.

About a 20 minute drive from my home is a popular resort area with a huge lake, and 4 other lakes in close proximity. As the area is mostly flat, it's superb for biking, one of my favourite pastimes. I love that I can bike to the store or the river, or up to the lakes if I'm ambitious. It affords me the opportunity to follow my passions, cycling and photography. I call it photocycling, as I pack up my photo gear into two panniers on the back of my bike, along with a tripod and cane that becomes a stool, and off I go.

No, I'm not into figuring out how many miles I've gone and that I've got to accomplish x miles for it to be worthwhile. I cycle, see something to photograph, stop and carry on. Sometimes I've gone 40 miles, other times, much less. It all depends on how much time I have or want to spend.

My other passion is art, with watercolour painting being the major one, pen & ink, and graphite following close behind. However, due to my recent foray into photography, I haven't pursued my art. One of these days.....

Oh yes, and writing is the other passion. I love words and always have. I am a member of the Travel Writer's Association of BC, but have to admit that I haven't actively pursued that avenue due to some unforeseen circumstances in the past two years. As those circumstances are now resolved, I anticipate I'll be going on more adventures and writing about them this year.

Now I've dived into this pool and gotten the anticipated chill out of the way, I look forward to swimming with everyone.

I wrote and posted the following piece on Poetry Corner on Jan 7, 2016:

Love Is A Decision
(Author: socrates44)

Love is not based on a feeling only
There must also be a clear decision
Passionate feelings may die off early
Showing it was just infatuation

One should not need another as a crutch
But be able to stand on one's feet
This will allow each other space as such
And enrichen the sharing when both meet

A love relationship has its demands
It does not ensure smooth sailing always
Be mindful of this in each circumstance
And it will help you survive the rough days

The one that you love should be your best friend
Someone with whom you can share everything
A person upon whom you can depend
In situations that can be trying

As time passes, both of you will change
For change is inevitable in life
Do not consider this as something strange
Learn to adjust and avoid any strife

True love is the most precious emotion
That a person can engage in sharing
It fills the heart with blissful elation
Giving one's life a rich sense of meaning

About this poem:

"Love is a decision, it is a judgement, it is a promise. If love were only a feeling, there would be no basis for the promise to love each other forever. A feeling comes and it may go. How can I judge that it will stay forever, when my act does not involve judgement and decision."

- Erich Fromm - (The Art of Loving)


"But let there be spaces in your togetherness. And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another, but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.

And stand together yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other’s shadow."

Kahlil Gibran – (The Prophet)

There was a reason you joined this site. What was it? To find love? To find friendship? To just read blogs? everyone has a reason..............................what's yours?

For me, I joined after two years of being on my own, I felt I was ready to start meeting people again. I needed these years to gain control of "myself" again after 15 years of marriage. I didn't want to take any baggage into a new relationship if I was to find another one. Am I ready? I don't know, haven't had the honor of meeting anybody yet. So far all I have met is scammers lol. But that doesn't deter me because you can never have too many friends either.............................

Is there anything called online dating left today? Or has it completly turned in to online hookups?
I've been on and off on this site a couple of times. I've met a few guys also.. but none of them are looking for any serious relationship. It had made me thinking.. is it me? Is it something about me that i end up with this type of guys. Every time i left this site i left thinking i'll never come back.. but here i am.. Again repeating the same cycle..

I met a girl online from the Philippines as I was going through a divorce here in Denver. I thought someone overseas would be great to get away and build a future with. I thought, wow, we are both separated and we are in the same boat. She had 2 sons and separated for 6 years. Well I fell in love with her. A couple months later I found out there is no divorce in the Philippines. So I go meet her in person for a week. But I could not visit her home because of her ex family. Then 3 months later I found out she was lying to me. She has 4 sons and only separated 1 year. I found out through pictures in her family's facebook page. Then she admitted to me this. I accepted her apology. A month ago I started working 2 and 3 jobs to pay for her annulment. But i was getting bad vibes from her. I found out through a complete stranger to me who knows my ex girlfriend that she was on a dating site. I asked her and she said it was an old site and she was checking messages from a long time ago. I made a profile on the site to check on her. To my amazement she was on 2 times this past month. Yeah I gave this "poor" girl monthly support for her and her sons. Yes I bought this "poor" girl a phone. Yes I am stupid. I just need to vent. I learned. I had never looked overseas before in social media. I guess I got over my divorce haha. But my ex wife and I are still good friends, just not any love. Thanks yall

1. Should you shed a tear. Please let it be a tear of over whelming joy
2. Should you feel fear. Let it be fear of the unknown as you start a great adventure
3. Should you kiss. Let it be a most passionate kiss
4. Should you make love. Let be the type of love making that ignites you inside
5. Should you feel love. Let it be the type of love that sweeps you off your feet


I hope you all have a great day

I'm not talking Robert Redford in a tux, offering a million bucks for a night, or Angelina Jolie saying she'd give you the same for a weekend away.

Say someone on CS that you'd chatted to via the blogs or forums but never particularly fancied, offered you 5000 to spend a week with them (dollars, euros, pounds, all much of a muchness at the moment, pick your favourite currency)

The offer is genuine.

Would you?












And no, no-one has offered me that and right now I am unemployed with my whole life on pause and me, personally? Yes I would. I need the cash. But I'm not a particularly normal person, and I'm just wondering how abnormal I am. Much more to the point, this directly relates to something I'm working on.

is this site only for seniors. and when a younger asked her for conversation why they don't answer.

What a woman want from a man? Is exsactly what a man want from a woman!

Their want to be trusted and to be able to trust!
Both want love, respect, considiretion, emphaty, affection!

Their want to feel need, they want your time, they want to be a priority, they want to be listen to, they want to be included, they want to be asked, they want to be wantet they want to be notes, They want, Communication, they want commitment, they want friendship!
They want to be complimented,
They want you tell them that you love them they want you to show them love, they want you to Be loyal to them they want you to be faithful, they want to feel special, they want to share With you! hobbies, games, happy, sad, moments they need you to reasure them, that you love them!
Just with a simple gesture, like a look, a wink , touch of hand, a text, a phone call, an Email, a message a Thank you note for their love!
A red rose, box of chocolates!
It will show them that, you love them, and how important, they are in your life!

and they should never be taking for grantet!
