hi ☺️ just wanted to say it's a bit confusing site but if you want to have more private talk one to one use the chat icon hopefully this helps

Hii Deepeg: Just found this site and am trying to forge some friendships online. It has been difficult to keep in touch or make any new friends with Covid for the past two years. My daughter used to live with me, but she has moved up to Seattle, and I am in Southern Oregon by myself. Of course, I have six cats to keep me company, but their conversational aptitude leaves me a bit under stimulated!
I ride horses, have cats, and live alone. I love all animals. We used to have whippets, but they have all passed on and with six cats and being 76, I am reluctant to get any more animals. I also have two horses and haven't been able to ride for a couple of years due to medical issues etc.
It would be lovely to hear from you as I am finding living alone as an elderly person with Covid coming back yet again, quite a bit challenging to keep my spirits up. It would be very nice to find a few people to chat with online, since chatting in person seems to be too difficult with Covid rearing it's ugly head yet again.
Hope to hear from you and hope things are going well for you. Don't know where Herts is, so please at least let me know that so I will learn something new!! 🙂
Thanks, Kazara

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.

Hi SBN51, I'm new as well! I'm from California, a dude, as we say, and love the arts, sports, travel, and more. I've always wanted to see Scotland, as I have Scottish heritage. Nice to virtually meet you. HammerG

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.
