Hi their
Ann here from bloxwich just wondered how you are doing
Do you like this heatwave,it's a bit to warm for me
What have you been doing over the weekend
We went to bridgnorth on Saturday it was nice to look round the market and had a pub lunch at a pub near the river
I've been into Walsall today to take mom for a medical appointment
It's nice to have the doors and windows open now and feel a slight breeze
Well take care,best wishes Ann x

Hi their
Thanks for your reply, I sometimes find this site difficult to navigate
Everything is growing well in the garden now and the rain did a lot of good on Sunday
I'm going to the gardeners world flower show with a friend at the NEC on Friday I'm really looking forward to it and the food show is on in another hall also.
Where did you go for your walk the weekend was it nice
We went to Stafford on Monday there's a nice park their
I took my car in for a repair this morning and my friend picked me up from the garage and we went to weather spoons for a light breakfast muffin and coffee it was good
I've been at mom's a lot recently she's 93 and has a bad water infection at the moment she relies on my help a lot as I'm her only family
Do you have anyone at home with you,I'm married just the 2 of us no children we have 3 ruined cats ga ha have a good day from Ann xx

I live alone have done for a long time I have lots of interests I have mum and step dad a sister three brothers I'm the oldest enjoy yourselves at gardener's world hear from you soon I agree this site is hard to navigate take care
Response from FELINEFRIEND made on 14th Jun 2023 19:49:12 > @Burnished bronze
Hi their
Oh the nature park sounds beautiful, when my dad was alive we used to take our dog for walks at Perry Barr park and to kings heath park they were both lovely
It's nice you have a decent sized family around you,I only have my old mom no other family at all apart from hubby and he doesn't see any family either, I've got a couple of friends I see occasionally.
I like to go on coach trips sometimes,we did a 5 day trip to the isle of wight a couple of weeks ago and in August we are going to the Rhine valley for a long weekend and there are 2 steam train trips included in the weekend we are looking forward to it.
Take care from Ann xx

Hello JCL
70 here in Tunis, single and retired. love to chat.
Drop a line if interested.
Response from CARTHAGIAN made 1 days ago
Hello there, nice surprise here too. My first time here and very confusing,but glad to find your response. Guess they wanta keep us young and challenged.
It’s nice and sunny here in Tunis, feels like spring.
Response from CARTHAGIAN made 1 days ago
How cold is it there?
Response from CARTHAGIAN made 1 days ago
Yeah I guess that’s cold during the day, here it’s 20.at night down to about 12.
Ok let guess the Best Patisier? No! I think that’s French.
I live in rather touristic small town, so I like my walks on the beach. Have you been to Tunis before?
And No not looking for 90 day wedding..lol
I keep busy, I travel a lot around this little country, want to see it all.
With my tablet I kill a few hours a day, Reddit takes most of it.
How about you?
Response from CARTHAGIAN made 1 days ago
Yes the tourists drive me crazy, actually the natives drive me crazy.
Tourist from all the world I love. We get quite a few here, from your neck of the woods.
I lived a few years in usa, but I missed the family, so I am spending a few years here.
You only knit socks?
Were you married? Kids.? In anything too personal you are free to not answer, just my curiosity.

I have two boys in usa, 40 and 32.
Divorced 9 years now. And yes I am taking it easy now, sometimes I miss the speed and action.
Response from CARTHAGIAN made 1 days ago
I guess everything we write here is public?
Response from CARTHAGIAN made 23 hours ago
Do they have like chat rooms here? Or PM.?
I like the way you write, you sure weren’t a teacher?

18 years, wow,, guess you didn’t meet Mr right yet?
Response from CARTHAGIAN made 22 hours ago
Was in the restaurant business..
Do you get my messages right away, or there is a lag. Here your message doesn’t show until I log out and log back in again.

“ “Doctor: I have good news and bad news."

"Patient: 'OK, first, what's the good news?'

Doctor: 'You have 24 hours to live.'

Patient: 'Oh god, just 24 hours to live, that is good news? I can't imagine what the bad news is going to be.'

Doctor: 'I forgot to phone you yesterday.”

I’m a 71 year old African American male and I live in Naperville, a western suburb of Chicago. I retired a few years ago and I’ve been an empty nester for over 5 years. I miss regular online interaction. I’m looking for online penpals to share email a few times a week. Making new friends is a way to ward off loneliness, and it brings a sense of joy and curiosity. Having new friends makes for a feeling of belonging which gives people satisfaction. I like living life vicariously through the daily life and experiences of others.

Hi everyone,
I've just joined so introducing myself - I've recently moved to Devon, England. Gorgeous place to live but finding it hard to meet singles to make new friends. Everyone seems to be married!
I'm a retired teacher. I've travelled extensively, lived in USA, Norway, Maldives, but have a quieter life now in Devon.
Just recovering from a relationship break-up so back to singledom again 🙁
Would love to chat to anyone.

Hi Kath, Wondering if you're sharing the blog you mentioned. Though I'm not Persian or Jewish, I find both cultures fascinating. Have you explored the cuisine, the customs, the languages of your heritage? Have you gone to Ancestry.com or another type site? I live in California, love poetry including Rumi, and have spent some time in Manhattan, which is so wonderful, after having been somewhat tragic in the late 70's!

Hi there,
It looks like I joined in June of this year, but this is my first note. Like a newbie, I don't really know what I'm doing yet.
I'm a transplant to Michigan. Idaho was my home until I married. I've been single for 10 years and date occasionally. I have three girls and seven grandchildren. All are in three different states.
What I'd really like and need at this time of my life is a pen pal or two. How other people live, work, and play is interesting and I'd like to hear about it.
I go to the gym, ride bikes in the summer, care for a hospice dog, travel a little and spend as much time with family as I can.
Hope to hear from some of you... Merry Christmas!!
Response from HammerG made on 13th Jan 2024 11:03:12
I had family in Western Michigan. They loved it. I didn't get to visit all that much, but found the place beautiful and with the nicest people. You sound quite active. I'm considering adopting a dog. Finding a pet match seems almost as complicated as finding a matching human! I live in California, like the arts, sports, and travelling. My nieces and nephews range from age 10-22 and you can find them all over the US.

I've always wanted to go to Scotland. Stayed one night in Texas. We were driving from Los Angeles to Michigan. We moved back here in 2010. Why? I miss the good weather. My husband became disabled at 47, he now has to live in a nursing home. I wish I was younger and not in chronic pain so I could take care of him. M.S
Took his body over. His mind is strong. I miss him at home with me. I've raised our 3 grandchildren from ages 2,4,5 I still have custody but they are older not home much. Now 16,18,20. I feel I did a good job taking care of them. Good morals, polite, independent, smart smart kids. I'm very proud of them. Their dad was a hitter belts spoons whatever he had. He was on meth. Mom our daughter was on meth also. I don't know what I hate more M.S., meth, or child abuse. You don't hit babies make one watch until his turn. I tried to reconnect with our daughter but it's hard. She took us for granted. She is sober 2 years but she isn't the same. I can't stand the dad. Obvious reasons, by his choice at a beach in Los Angeles he created an issue that caused my husband to become disabled so youg. Dr's feel the trauma caused the M.S. to wake up so to speak. Well that's all for now. I have many tales that most people find hard to believe, and have said so. I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried.

Hi everyone,

I am 58 new york city blogger, poet and songwriter and hope to make friends, particularly in Manhattan where I currently reside. I have never married and have no kids, but am really great with kids and pets. I also recently started a heritage ancestry research journey discovering interesting things, such as Persian Jewish heritage. Have a great New Year.
