I love animals, horse back riding, dogs, cats, dancing, chatting, getting to know others and their interests and hobbies. And, these days, it appears it is a bit safer to exchange ideas and interests on line rather than in public. Hope you are up for chatting as I would love to exchange some communications.
Let me know some of your interests and who you are.
Thanks, Kazara
I’m from Mesa, az. 52. Retired, single and living with my adult sons who have Autism. Looking for people to chat with. Lately I’ve been in a rut of boredom and I need some adult conversation. I e been in your neck of the woods a few times. (Reid Park Zoo, Kartchner Caverns). Still haven’t seen the big telescope. Anyway,
I’m about to go into the dentist office for an appointment. I hope to hear back from you. John
Any weekend plans?

First day of fall!! I love fall and winter!
Did you go cycling?
I found money crept hard into campaigning , like once going to show up a famous football, who regularly parked in a disabled bay for near three hours, just as the team of charity workers were going to ensure this hit the media big time, but at the 11th hour , sponsors of the footballer and his club , threaten to cease giving the charity , who I was going to do this with , cease giving funds, then slowly , like daylight starting I began to see corruption ,money, stop things by charities doing to improve disabled lives. But what got to me terrible, was the massive salary CEO of disabled charities got, so I become so dissolution , that I ceased campaigning.
But the hardest part was finding life after they armed forces , just to hard to take, felt I had nothing in common with civilians, I tried and tried , but in the end I gave it away, as I said my wife does the replies , but my assistance dog I got in 2018 is my soul mate, he truly is my life line.
My complex military PTSD is what my dog helps me get through, what with my wife who is the Rock of Gibraltar, she is out of this world, so with my dog add my wife I have it all. I love training him, a military charity appointment a world class behaviourist cum trainer, he oversee , that my training was to the most highest standard going.
So there you have it .
I love animals, have six cats, two horses, and had whippets for several years, but lost my last one last November. I am a devout animal lover! I also love dancing, singing, walking, exploring, movies, and probably a lot of other things, just not on my mind right now. Would love to hear from you and where you moved to and how making new friends is going. I find it difficult to make new friends the older I get because I am not that gregarious. So I hope in that respect you are doing well and are able to increase your friends in your new place.
Love to hear from you, carol3y!

I am 73 and moved to a new place during covid, so I have not been able to make new friends here. Or get out and about etc.

I just wanted to know ,why there is never a "Private Chat "under my pieces ?
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.
I'm surrounded by woods, water and all kinds of creatures. I've fought to keep them away from my living areas for the most part successfully, and I get teased often about that!
Enjoy your serenity. I'm alone but never lonely. 🙂
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.
