Hello - looking for like minded friends to chat withHi emmee, [M.E.?....Mary Elizabeth, or Em as in Emily,... : ) no matter.] Thanks for, nice of you to do. As for what you wrote,.....makes me a little envious of the serenity outside your doors. I grew up in a rural area / 55 miles south of Pittsburgh, Pa..... small town USA and a million miles outside the information highway. Heck, we didn't even really have a "Highway" compared to New Jersey's Garden State Parkway with it's 5 lanes in ea. direction. And, ....by the oddest of chances.... i wound up working and living in the busiest / most populated metro area of the country. I'm so new to this "chat?" group way of sharing, communicating, etc. ....well, I'll get the idea of it. One thing you said "found your happy place"...... not exactly, but working on it. This place and these stressed out, in a rush to get in line people; I just don't have the patience to be in this maelstrom a more ....if I ever did. I know how to feel peaceful and I have a very secure center/core. I know what i am,...and i don't need a lot to be content.ViewDate:

Hello - looking for like minded friends to chat withHmm, ok, am in northern New Jersey; not sure for how much longer, some months; probably more, ....but ..going at some point. As the name implies, am for most part simply-entertained. Straight forward things... gardens, books, stoves, engines, golf balls [in a high straight flight], woods and water make me more or less right w/ the world. Absent any of the above, or in spite of all;.... a book will do the same. Am a reader, info-gatherer, regularly in his own thoughts and the thoughts and words of writers.] Not lonely,...but often somehow at times am solo, even in crowded places. Don't actually "love"! crowded places, don't fear them. Question them. U know the feeling. It seems this time and the things in this time make us all feel somehow a little unsure. We don't quite know what to comfortably trust, I can attest,.... you can trust a garden to be a garden, a stove to be able to get you to a meal [providing you have the know-how]. And a golf ball will stay exactly where it is, and wait for you to execute. I'm 6ft tall, I weigh 185lbs. I'm strong enough and well co-ordinated enough to make golf look like a fun time, vs. torture. I used to run on the golf course in early evenings; watching the deer, and rabbits, and ground hogs as i ran. It's a serene place and a serene time of day. It's one of the nicest, most satisfying things i have ever repeatedly done ...and I've done a lot of things.
