Need a social life
I am a 61 year old female that is looking for female and male friends. Would also be interested in meeting a man for a serious relationship.
I live in Tucson, Arizona and find it very difficult to find people with my interests.
I was born and raised in England, and have lived in Canada, and several states. I don't know if I want to live in Tucson forever, but for right now I am happy here.
I enjoy a healthy lifestyle and enjoy quality in all things. I try to eat mostly organic foods cooked from scratch. I can't say I enjoy exercising, but I do it because I enjoy feeling good. I have a positive happy attitude, and enjoy reading self-help books. I believe in alternative medicine and therapies as opposed to drugs.
I enjoy people. I am comfortable in a large crowd, blending in, not standing out. I am also comfortable with a few people. I enjoy talking about most subjects except religion and politics.
I love music. I mostly listen to the 50's, 60's, and 70's rock and roll. I also enjoy jazz, blues, bluegrass and a tiny amount of country. I studied piano as a child and have started studying again.
I love animals, especially cats. I love dogs, but I work and I am away from home roughly 12 hours a day, and that wouldn't be fair to the dog.
I have two grown sons. One is married and one is engaged. They both live here in Arizona. We enjoy an incredible relationship. Best of friends with a tremendous amount of respect for one another.
I love my extended family, and a few friends I've known my whole life. Unfortunately they are scattered across the country and in England.
I am an office manager for a CPA firm here in Tucson.
I live in Saddlebrooke which is an active retirement community. It's really beautiful, situation at the base of the Catalina mountains. In Saddlebrooke, which is just north of Tucson we enjoy about 350 days of sunshine a year.
I enjoy decorating, gardening, cooking, reading, listening to music, shopping, going to the theater, concerts, symphony, fine dining, traveling, talking with friends and relatives and a quiet evening at home with a good book or watching a great movie relaxing.
Hopefully that will be a good start.
I look forward to hearing from some members of Eons.
Carolyn

Stevia Powder
Stevia Powder
Scientific Name: Stevia rebaudiana
AKA: Sweetleaf, stevia leaf
Parts Used: leaves
Active Compounds: stevoside
Background: In an age where the average person's diet consists primarily of sugar, stevia is a nice supplement that is much healthier for the body. Unlike artificial sweeteners, stevia is an all natural sugar substitute. The leaf of a stevia plant is actually up to twice as sweet as real sugar. And, unlike artificial sweeteners and sugar, stevia has no known negative health effects. In fact, it may actually help to reduce blood pressure and aid in blood sugar control for diabetics, although the jury is still out on those effects.
Applications: Sweetener
Stevia is primarily used as a sugar substitute.
Sweetener: Stevia can be used as a flavoring alternative to sugar.
Description:
Stevia is a plant that is native to Brazil and Paraguay. It is now cultivated in many Asian countries, where its use is very popular.
Dosage:
Add to foods and beverages to taste.
Safety:
There is no negative safety information available for this herb. Consult your health care provider before beginning use of any herb.
**Please Note - Stevia in its original powder form will actually be a light green in color. Todate I have not found the actual process used to "bleach out" the green to make the power form white. Comparasions with different sugar type that are on the market today Stevia on average has been measured to be anywhere between 25 to 50 times stronger/sweeter than your sweetest known sugar and the real kicker is Stevia is actually a much healthier choice when it comes to sweetners.
Couple of other items to note with Stevia, the manufacture can not make claims against any of the better pushed sugars so they can not post any type of comparasions. Also Stevia can be advertised or marketed as a sweetner but not as a sugar-substitute. Make sure that you are picking up "Stevia Rebaudiana" and not something else with the label of Stevia on it, for S. Rebaudiana is the original and not some plant with a stevia label trying to be passed off as the real thing.

I don't know about this one. She sure looks real, but according to the airport shes a ghost......
Can Anyone Explain This. . .
Okay, I'm sick to death of the dating scene right now. Really....I want nothing more than a man to love and one who will love me back; I'm so tired of being alone...but I'm really, really tired of trying to find a date, or I don't know what you want to call it.
Here's the question. I'm on Match--now this is maybe the 3rd perhaps the 4th time I've gone on Match.com in the last two years--the first couple of times were just a month at a time. Now I'm on the pay for 6 months get 6 months free plan. Well let me tell you...In just over four months, I can't think of one man who has actually checked out my profile and sent me an e-mail. I've done all of the e-mailing and 99.9% of the time, the men don't even have the courtesy to respond back--even when I tell them Honesty is the Best Policy, and I'd rather know the truth than to be left hanging and wondering why that handsome man _______ never responded.
When I first went on match I was 50. . .didn't have one problem attracting any men. Since I turned 51 (and now 52) I can't get anybody to do a double take! Shees even a first look! And it irritates me to no end to read profiles of men 50 and over who are only interested in women 36-48! What the frick! I don't look 52, I've got great gams, a great smile, big eyes, I'm very sweet and everyone tells me I am genuinely kind, I'm classy yet sexy, romantic, and all the other GREAT things that a man wants--yet for some reason, I'm now apparently not good enough? I was in the emergency room a year or so ago with a terrible migrane, the gal registering me argued with me about my birth year! She kept insisting it must be 66--not 56; with head pounding, vision blurring, and on the verge of tears, I finally pulled out my wallet and my drivers license to prove to the lady that YES indeed, I was really born in 1956.
Will you guys explain to me what the H is wrong with me or should I say, "Us" women close to your own age. My ex is 53 and is dating a married 32 year old--she's closer to our son's age than she is to the ex. What do they possibly have in common? (except that she's not very attractive and he's about 50 pounds overweight.)
I know you men will read this and think I'm a bitter biotch--feel free because I'm beginning to feel that way. I may not be able to compete with a 25 year old, but I've got a helluva lot more going for me than anyone even remotely close to that age group.
What's up with this?
