Not alone but no stranger to loneliness

In Reply to: I heard same golf suggestion and many schools offer it. I'm sure - your not alone, Dano!! LOL!

Was widowed at age 46 after 23 years of marriage. Sorta like the Vern Gosden song, "you don't know lonely till it's chiseled in stone." I never thought I'd date again much less marry but there came a point where I realized I had to pick up and go on and I could either just exist and die lonely or I could force myself to go on solo. Wasn't too long after that till I met my now husband and we've been happily married now for 13 years. He's living proof that there are wonderful people, male and female, out there, all ages. Sometimes you just have to sort through a lot of trash to find a treasure and sometimes they just pop up when least expected.

Life is stranger than fiction, why

do you think they have reality shows.

I feel sorry for you Mom. There's really not much you can do. I agree with the posters who say some people like the drama. Live and learn. I wish I had some real advice to give you.

Paula's behavior gets stranger . . .
every week. I think she has serious problems. She can hardly get out a coherent sentence anymore.

I tell a complete stranger my whole life history practically.
I'm suddenly realizing that I have isolated myself and that I have no real friends and the only adult conversation I have is with my DH. While I love by DH dearly and he is my bestest friend, sometimes you need other conversations/relationships.

I would do ANYTHING else. Cleaning skids/splatters/pubes off in a stranger's toilet
