Hi I’m from Ontario CANADA
Watch this postI’m 56, female and love my Dachshund. I was married for 36 years and I’ve been alone for a little while now and I’m looking for some one to chat with online. I’m rather shy and don’t know how to start a conversation. Once the “hello how are you” is done I am at a loss for words. So, I thought I would try this forum. Maybe help find myself again?

I know only way to remedy mos situations we find very difficult is to reach out to someone else no matter how. I found you inspiring, I could sense your difficulty yet you took a step which is going towards a better life.
My grandfather was from Ontario then he became professional baseball player, I'm trying to get info. Anyway I'm going to at least check out this site.
Keep reaching posting your fears will bring others to do same. Thank you

Last year I made myself a challenge - talk to a stranger a day, every day for 30 days. Actually it worked very well and after some months I can know say that I've made 2 real friends - one who lives close by to me and another who I just email having met on a plane.
It's really fun once you pluck up the courage to open your mouth and get over your own fears.
Loneliness is a really big problem, especially for older people. So keep chatting and keep practising.
Best wishes

Freezing my but off? Frig. That froze off last month! It's almost like a new ice age is coming! More snow this weekend! UGH
I would take rain any day. No shveling involved!!
