Younger men vs older women
I wish there was some one with the answers to "How to find a friend". I'm 72, very active, no significant health problems, except my eyes, however I still drive but not at night. There must be thousands of nice ladies that, like me, have a desire to find that "very nice gentleman", fall in love, and live happily ever after. I read about the millionaire club. But it's not only the millionaires that don't know exactly how to talk to or treat a lady. Espceially the older gentleman. I'm not looking for money.But then on the other hand, I'm not a "nurse with a purse" either. If I had lots of money, I'd start my own senior match business. I would teach the older men how to open up to the ladies. But as someone said, the older men want and look for a sexy young thing. When the truth is known all they are after is diamond rings and money. I'm not after that. I want a friend ship with a gentleman that can carry on an intelligient conversation, a traveling partner, and someone to hug and be hugged by. But trust me, after almost 4 years being a widow, I have given up that idea. I will never get use to living alone. But perhaps I can find a younger man as I read one article that it seems to be a going trend. It is not exactly what I would prefer, but who knows, it might be nicer than I thought. Society has always looked down on women with younger men, but who cares anymore? I can just hear my son and daughter now if I should find a younger man. But that's just tuff. What are your thoughts?
Dontcha' just hate it
I spent several hours yesterday calling UPS and FEDEX to pick up packages.Neither package was opened. I ordered some vitamins via the computer and low and behold they put me on an automatic shipment deal. Whoa! The packages were left inside my gate. I knew who they were from but couldn't figure out why I had received them.When I called I told them they had lost one customer. Me! I told the lady with whom I talked to that I think it is FRAUD to ship me several bottles of vitamins, and charge my bank all w/out my consent. She said she would take me off of automatic shipment. I'm beginning to wonder if there is anything beside a money racket in America anymore. I will be very slow to order anything from the interenet from this day forward. I thought it was a way to save since gas has gone up so high. It seems the older I get the more I realize America is going down the gutter at record speed and that means all of us go with it. Hang on to your hat!
Hello Everyone

I hope everyone had a happy Easter and was renewed in spirit. I was. My family and I went to see the production of The Final Conflict at a huge church here in Griffin. It was awesome.
Renting Rooms etc
Thanks for the info, WAnne and MiJoann. The reason I would rent out half of my house is that I recently completely re-modeled. I almost got in over my head to tell you the truth. I'm doing okay, but would like to replace some funds in my savings. Not that it's earning much interest but it is a good feeling to have. I will take your advice and scratch the college student. And the idea of someone to help me in the garden is terrific. I have at least an acre that my husband use to grow every kind of vegetable you can imagine. Tomatoes, corn, squash, peas, beans cucumbers, okra, on and on. The tractor is sitting in the shed, and I have actually thought of selling it. There is so much yet to do. I am also thinking of having a "partial estate sale" I said it like that because most of his 'stuff' I haven't a clue what to do with. It just sits there gathering cobwebs. I don't want to sell anything in my house nor do I want to sell my house. I hope the Good Lord will allow me to live here until I am taken away. My son, daughter and their families live about 25 miles from me and they have said they want me to sell out. It causes hard feelings to erupt and they use the price of gas as an excuse not to visit me very often. They don't understand that I have lived here for 25 years and to move away to an anpartment or such, at this point, would be a death warrant for me. That is how I feel. Have you ever sat on a screened in front porch in the summertime and listened to the birds? And read, and swing? It's like heaven on earth.
Other than my eyes I am in good health. I have Dry Macular Degeneration. I don't even take blood pressure medication.I'm under the care of Emory Eye Clinic for my eyes. The only thing I could do that might not even work, is a Stem Cell transplant. The cost? 25K. Emory doctors told me that the federal funding had been cut out on Stem Cell Research. That's a shame, they should cut a lot of "freebies" out for those that are able to work.......Mollie in Georgia

Thank You
I agree Belle, that it was best to find out now that we din't match. However, I am beginning to wonder if there will ever be anyone for me. And I have decided to rent out a couple of rooms and my den in the back. (I could use the $$) I would prefer a college student or a female. I don't know how to start but I'm reading newspapers to get some ideas. But you know the thing I have noticed that concerns me is no-one ask for references or says in their ads that there will be a background check. I might not pay to have that in the ad, but I will tell any interested party that I will do a background check. No way would I allow anyone in my home not having done that!
Have any of you ever rented out rooms? How did it work out? Are there laws concerning ads in papers? Can you not rent to anyone based on your own judgement? Where would I go to find out?

Just a note
Wanted to share with you that I finally met a gentleman that I have communicated with here on Eons for over a year. He was on his way to visit his brother in Miami, FL. We met for coffee. He too lost his wife a year+ ago. We did not click is the only way I can say it. And we both agreed there was nothing to build on. He liked dogs and I like cats, he was looking for omeone that could cook and take care of him. Albeit I'm terribly lonely,I had to tell him I am not a "nurse with a purse"..... We said good by at the restaurant.
Hello Friends
Just dropping in to say hello. Hope everyone is ready for Spring. I surely am! The month of March started out like a lion but I hope it goes out like a lamb. Here in Middle Georgia that is the usual. Of course we still need more rain, yet we are thankful for what we did get. I need to pull the weeds out of my flower beds and although I'm devasted with the diagnosis of Dry Macular Degeneration, (left eye 90% gone, right eye is ok at this time.)I must go on. I'm asking God to give me the grace and strength I need. And asking Him to stop the progression where it is. I have called a family meeting to see what lies in store for me. . Hope you all are doing fine. God bless each and everyone of you as we climb the mountains and valleys of life......
