hi there, just read your post not sure how this forum works yet but thought i'd send a message to see if i manage to reach you. i too have moved to a new area but not so rural i do know that it feels isolating at first but it depends what you like doing and you can be lonely in a city having lived in london for over twenty years i know that's true. i like to chat but don't mind being on my own. having said that i've had a little rescue dog for 15 years and sadly she died two months ago so i do miss her company and walks each day. i did think of getting another dog or cat as i've always lived with animals but i think for the time being i'll wait as it does mean i can go on holiday whenever without having to worry about what to do about pets. i hope you enjoy your new home and if this message reaches you do get in touch.

Hello Milt,
How are you doing today. I'm new here and you have a very friendly face. Like you I'm always looking for new friends someone who I can also share my crazy days with. I live in SE Ohio and 67 years young, my parents produced a half Italian and half Hawaiian baby, actually 8 babies in all, I'm #3 in line. I love animals of all kinds, right now I have 6 cats all rescued and fixed, and on occasions a stray possum or racoon will visit. I also love plants indoors and outdoors. I had to retire early in 2017 after I had my second stroke, I'm totally recovered now but not as fast as I was. I do have a couple of good friends but they are very busy in their own lives with family, work and other things. Don' know about you but sometimes it's good to have an opinion from the opposite sex...By the way I'm a real female and not one of those wannabes they have nowadays. Anyway if you want to be friends I'd love to chat with you. I want to say that I am not one of those that is a pretend person like on Catfish....Hope to hear from you soon.

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!!

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.
