RE: What's the BEST thing that happened to you this week?

For SURE not one of his better days !! I wish I'd been there to see it firsthand! You naughty little minx! What were you wearing? Were you sitting like Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct? C'mon!! You can tell us!!

RE: What's the BEST thing that happened to you this week?

Dande...you're so funny!! Love your posts!

SPECIAL_K...congrats to YOUUUUU! I'm so happy for your weight loss and ALSO that you've met someone on his way to meet you! I wish you the best of luck! Have fun but be careful and be aware!

RE: For the Older Set!!!!

Cherokee....really cute picture of you! Very classy but natural and down-to-earth!

It's casual...like mine where I'm holding up the porch!!

RE: For the Older Set!!!!

DAKOTA.....I think there are LOTS of men reading our posts for one reason or another. It's okay if they're curious! Nothin wrong with being curious!

JAG....FOR SURE, take it a little slower with the guy. If you have been a little hesitant while he's been "rushing it," there's cause for concern. You're a lot younger than me and won't be pushin up daisies anytime soon, so TAKE YOUR TIME!


FYI...just check the other site and after the Professor sent me 4 quick e-mails in a row, it's been two hours without a response to mine where I mentioned my "grandson" and casually asked what college he was affiliated with. The S.O.B. was probably Jack the Ripper in disguise! There's ANOTHER e-mail there from yet ANOTHER guy without a picture! I'm really beginning to wonder if it's not the same guy re-inventing himself over and over!! Sick puppy!!

RE: For the Older Set!!!!

Wow...I left for an hour and there are so many posts to answer!

Wait...I also want to check something else. Be back shortly!

RE: For the Older Set!!!!

Thank you sweetie!
I DO look lots better with my "face on!"

It's not easy being single in your 40's in today's crazy world, but think positive! You are a pretty woman and I sure hope you find the man of your dreams here OR at the grocery store!!

RE: For the Older Set!!!!

JAG.....I TOTALLY understand your concern over this situation. It's never easy to back out of a situation you're not comfortable in. I'd say it's NOT going to work for you with him because pictures are worth a thousand words. If he's not butt ugly in the pic, he COULD BE in person! OMG...don'tcha feel bad? Does he have nice teeth? A good smile? SOMETHING going for him?

What the heck. IF he said he's okay being friends, then go for THAT aspect of it. Slowly back yourself out of any cozy conversations or those that hint at being a match made in heaven!

RE: For the Older Set!!!!

Galactic...you're lookin good for a 1948 Ford truck!!


You're not even CLOSE to being "older."

RE: For the Older Set!!!!

Hot_T....are you serious? There's a "phone" dating place called LAVAL LIFE?

I must be living under a rock!!

Okay, I'll post my e-mail and to him and let you know what his answer is. Be back later.

RE: For the Older Set!!!!

JAG...you're right! Photos ARE a must. Now that I think of it, I'm going to ask him the name of his college. THEN I'll google it and go into "STAFF." His picture should BE there!

RE: For the Older Set!!!!

I'll answer his post and thank him politely for giving me his phone # but let him know that I would never call him or anyone after only one e-mail. (If I DID, he'd immediately have MY # logged into his phone!) Maybe he's desperate but I'M not! We'll see how long he tolerates my e-mails before he goes on to the next victim! He's probably sent e-mails to hundreds and will weed out the ones who aren't being sucked into his little web! I'm not impressed with him at all.

RE: For the Older Set!!!!

Dakota, I would agree with you that lots of men would rather talk on the phone rather than on-line, BUT...he's a college Professor in "Communications." It shouldn't matter WHAT kind of communication!

I'm very leary about this guy and haven't responded to his 2nd e-mail yet....thinking about what to say.

RE: For the Older Set!!!!

Hot_T....you're right! Not only a hump back and rotting teeth but possibly a beer belly? or TWO??

The sad thing, he COULD BE a really nice guy but I have seriously have my doubts. He's a Professor in "Communication" which is another issue! He should DEFINITELY know how to communicate with more tact and diplomacy than what he's showing me. Right?

RE: For the Older Set!!!!

Okay, I think I previously mentioned a college professor in Atlanta sent me an e-mail in another website. He just sent another e-mail to my response and said he has nothing to hide. Well DUH!! Why isn't there a picture? He also gave me his phone #. THIS isn't sitting too well with me. Any smart man wouldn't do that after sending ONE e-mail to someone! What the he// is he...besides desperate?

OMG....is it cocktail time yet?? (great line from "Horse Whisperer" and I LOVE Robert Redford!)

RE: Just a word

***looking shy and feeling silly****


hot_T....glad I was able to get you in here to chat with everyone! Have a great day!

RE: What's the BEST thing that happened to you this week?

UIF....no, I don't go to Laconia for Bike Week because I now live in Kentucky. When I lived in Massachusetts, we had a summer home in Sandwich. Laconia was the place we shopped for everything. I loved all the fun stuff at Lake Winnepasaukee. (Did I remember how to spell it? haha)

I know what you mean about Amy because I had a guy friend exactly the same way BUT, we sure had many fun times together. We still chat on the phone for hours. He'll always be a special person to me.

Have a great day!

RE: For the Older Set!!!!

GGGRRRRRRR .... WHEN will they add an "EDIT" to these pages.

I left out the word "OUT!"

THERE ARE MEN WHO KNOW HOW TO COMPLETE A SENTENCE

WITH-OUT the "f" word in it! Sorry!

RE: For the Older Set!!!!

Dakota, DEFINITELY older guys have more respect for women but there ARE a few younger guys who are "gentlemen" and know how to complete a sentence with the "f" word in it.



I'll be back later! ***keep finding topics to respond to!!!***

RE: What's the BEST thing that happened to you this week?

Upinflames...that was a cute story and I hate it for you that the two of YOU didn't work out! I know exactly where Laconia is. Great town!!

Okay, the best thing to happen to me this week? I woke up every morning!

RE: For the Older Set!!!!

Dakota, you are NOT "older!!" Puleeeze!!!

...but you are certainly welcome to join the group anytime!!

RE: For the Older Set!!!!

Morning Stary!

I'll be back shortly! (in the middle of laundry, doing my hair, & putting on my face.)

RE: who would you like to see go to priion for a very long time ?...and why ?

Anyone who abuses children and/or animals for the obvious reasons! They deserve the death penalty but, if prison is my only choice, well put them in prison forever!

RE: What is your favorite all time movie?....tat you will never get tired of watching over & over again!

Dances with Wolves (think I've seen it 100 times) LOVE it!!

RE: how do handle someone crying

Me three!

RE: For the Older Set!!!!

Helllloooooooooooooooo!!!! Is anybody out there????
Am I alone here or what???

I HATE it when I'm talkin to myself, so I'll be back later!!

RE: For the Older Set!!!!

Jag, I should have mentioned that "Short Stuff" was the first of two men I've met in person after chatting on line. The second of the two posted a GREAT picture and before I met him, I asked if it was a recent photo. He said it was. We made plans to meet at a Home Show where I was volunteering my time to demonstrate a G.E. Tri-vection oven. It was a perfect place because HE pitched in to help me! It truly gave me a good idea about the kind of man he was in real life, rather than being on his best behavior in a restaurant.

RE: For the Older Set!!!!

It will take a little time for this topic to catch on but don't be discouraged if we have to pull it out of the 2nd or 3rd page every morning. There are lots more "young" people here and their topics move quickly.

I LOVE being able to chat about issues that WE encounter in our day-to-day lives.

This morning I had two winks on another site and neither had a picture posted in their profile. ONE is a professor at a college in Atlanta. He could be Jack the Ripper for all I know!! If he's a college PROFESSOR, he can't be too bright if he doesn't know how to post a picture!

That's my beef for the day!!

RE: For the Older Set!!!!

HONEST.....this is a great place to come where we can talk about the "good ole days!!" Thanks for doing it! I'm going back to read all the posts!

RE: Going away for a bit........

ENJOY yourself! I think we ALL would like to "get away" for a few days now and then!

RE: What is the point of putting up a picture of yourself in a profile thats "WELL" out of date???

I agree with you about the importance of having up-to-date pictures. With ME, what you see with me is what you get! I've nothing to hide and LOVE my laugh lines!! They give me character and pizazz instead of a concrete face loaded with Botox that can't show ANY expression!


I too had a terrible experience meeting a guy for lunch. His profile said he was 6'. I'm totally turned onto tall guys. He was ABOUT 5'6"....actually shorter than me at 5'7" sooooo, it went downhill from there. He was not only SHORT but he slouched because he was a ski instructor! He was supposed to be 3 years older than me but he had more lines in his face than a road map! It was pitiful! BUT... he was hysterically funny and we had a fun lunch and that was the end of THAT story!!
