I can't wait to be able to say exactly what it is.

Good evening everyone. I am patiently waiting for a call...Expecting Morningstar to be arriving here for dinner soon. I better get to tidying up my place. Looking at going out to dinner at a place that has sushi...or Five Guys!

Hi all!

Just popping in to see how y'all are doing!

As some of you know it was my birthday last week - - turned the big 50.
Let me tell you, being 50 sucks! lol
Honestly - being 50 isn't bad but getting super sick on my birthday sucked! It started as just a little tickle in my throat and within a few hours I was sicker than a dog. Laid up for almost a week. Went to school today and fell asleep during lecture! yikes!
so - I'm on the mend but it seems to take longer than it used to.

Enough about me! What is everyone up to? Anything interesting going on?

lusciouskiwi · 02-12-2013, 08:31 PM

evening loft dwellers and peekers

and welcome NickE to the loft, sorry to read you are going thru this... i'm sure a lot of us here understand completely how you feel about being our age , single and time.
I for one do not want to grow old alone... as well its nice to have someone there that you can be completely on the same page with with love, hobbies, desires, etc.. well you know what i mean.

I think we should all pack our bags and go bunk in over at Clays for a week or 2... maybe 3 .. lol and enjoy the beachs sunshine, well when it warms back up... .

NickE, I can sympathize. I just got out of a relationship too. It wasn't as long as yours, but I was really taken by surprise and truly thought this was my "forever" one. I was single for 9 years before that, and so I really feel the same time pressure that you're feeling. I don't want to waste any more time either. And I feel pretty clueless, too! So don't feel like you're all alone in this. There's at least one more in the same boat with you.

Galahad · 02-24-2013, 11:08 AM

Good morning lofty ones. I'm finally over bout 2 of the cold. The Dr. told me I could expect to get it up to 3 times this year. I hope not. It's good to see new faces and the old ones here. I hope the weather next week is easier on all of you. Stay Well and happy.

Love the horse pictures Morningstar. Have a fun week.

pamcat · 02-25-2013, 05:56 AM

Hi all,

Just dropping by to catch up on everyone's news. I had some unbelievable news today, I won a secondment for a higher duties position that I have dreamed of for a few years now. It's for 6 months and involves a lot of travel around the state and a number of people applied for it. What makes it even more attractive and special, apart from it being a challenging but very rewarding role, is that my ex told me that I was a 'career spinster' and I feel that I have shaken that label and proven my capabilities. Thanks for letting me share my excitement and news with you. That's what I really enjoy about this site.

Sweet Bliss · 02-25-2013, 03:28 PM

NickE TimeLord...... i'll be 58 on April 8 ... just walked away from the longest relationship of my life..9.5 years...

Thanks so much for posting. I just turned 56, almost didn't make it, lol.

We hear ya. 9.5 years? humm. Well mine was 16 years. Ya. I hear ya. I have no idea how to do this anymore. All my attempts have met in failure to launch or disaster. I don't want a quick roll in the hay, I want a friendship first, you can get sex anywhere, but good friends are better.... sometimes I think I'm better off with just my pets. They think I'm fabulous. Yes, I do their thinkin' for them, lmao....

I've had my rough days, thinkin' "omg, these are the Golden Years???? REALLY??? I am so screwed." But there is always reality TV to help us remember why we like our own company right?

There are plenty of lovely femmes here that can help you get over the "what now" hump, some of us are fabulous flirts, you could practice your Mambo-Salsa-Twist and Shout moves here.... just sayin'.........

Sweet Bliss · 02-25-2013, 03:36 PM

Afternoon All!!!

So anybody got some sunshine to share??? I got Peanut butter/chip/oatmeal cookies... anybody got a grill ready to bbq??? It's rainy and dark here today, mucho gloomy... started some homemade chicken soup for lunch.....

Okiebug61 · 02-25-2013, 03:49 PM

It's getting ready to start snowing here :-). We are all stocked up. I have wood stacked on the patio, logs ready to burn in the fireplace and Red is on her way home.
