Looking for like minded friends to chat with online
Watch this postHi, Just saying hell0.
I am recently widowed, my husband did the driving so I was happy to give it up, however now find I am stuck in the house a lot more and sometimes find it a long day.
It would be nice to have someone to talk to online

I'm a widow too and my husband also did the driving (I never learned). I'm recently retired and my children are both adults and have left home, Have you thought about joining some clubs etc? I've joined my local branch of the University of the Third Age (U3A) and now I'm hardly ever at home! If you've never heard of U3A before, it's an organisation for retired people and has various interest groups (different branches offer different activities) The groups are all run by U3A members and are very wide ranging. I'm a member of our branch's belly dancing group. I'm also a member of the film club, the board games club, the dining club and a group for members who are widowed, separated or divorced and live on their own. You can do as little or as much as you like. It's a good way to get out of the house and socialise, although some activities are currently online.
How are you doing? I'm new here, and I'd love a pen-pal. I'm separated (67 years old) and recently moved to a new city, so I haven't had a chance to make friends yet. I'm in GA (U.S.). Where are you?
