Me going out with my married friend and her husband. I feel like the 3rd wheel, need a fourth wheel to keep the wagon from falling.

Dating in your 50's can be great, if you want it to be. I have enjoyed mine. Usually though, it's the younger guys that always try to date, I have them from their 20's to in their 40's. The ones in their 40's though are a lot of fun and they become friends, that I can do things with without getting serious. I find it harder to find men my age to date, those I know, want the young sexy women with the sleek young bodies. They don't think they are old. But I am proud of my age and I still enjoy life, but at a slower pace and I take time to stop and smell the roses.

I am serious. Local dating around here is kind of nil. The guys my age all want the cute younger girls & the others always are either afraid to send a message, or they are waiting for that special person to fall in their lap. They started one of those fast dating things close by, and my son said I should try that. They have them for us older folks and then they have others for the younger ones. I might have to mosey across the river for that.

I like it, I think as we mature, we get better.

I thought it was funny. A lot of people worry what someone else thinks about them when they make a comment. You know how it is, follow the crowd.

Hi Chris, welcome to JSH.
Have fun on here.

Strong Enough to Bend

There's a tree out in the backyard
That never has been broken by the wind
And the reason its still standing
It was strong enough to bend

For years, we have stayed together
As lovers and as friends
What we have will last forever
If we're strong enough to bend

When you say something that you can't take back
Big wind blows and you hear a little crack
When you say "Hey well I might be wrong"
You can sway with the wind till the storm is gone
Sway with the wind till the storm is gone

Like a tree out in the backyard
That never has been broken by the wind
Our love will last forever
If we're strong enough to bend

When you start thinkin' that you know it all
Big wind blows and a branch will fall
When you say "Hey this job takes two"
We can sway with the wind till the skies turn blue
Sway with the wind till the skies turn blue

Like a tree out in the backyard
That never has been broken by the wind
Our love will last forever if we're strong enough to bend
Our love will last forever if we're strong enough to bend.

Frank Sinatra - Send In The Clowns Lyrics

(S.Sondheim)
[Recorded June 22, 1973, Hollywood]

[Spoken intro]
This is a song about a couple of adult people who have spent, oh, quite a long time
together, till one day
one of 'em gets restless and decides to leave. Whether it's the man or woman who left is unimportant.
It's a breakup.
It's a lovely marriage of words and music, written by Stephen Sondheim.


Isn't it rich? Are we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground and you in mid-air
Send in the clowns

Isn't it bliss? Don't you approve?
One who keeps tearing around and one who can't move
But where are the clowns? Send in the clowns

Just when I stopped opening doors
Finally finding the one that I wanted was yours
Making my entrance again with my usual flair

Sure of my lines
Nobody's there

Don't you love a farce? My fault, I fear
I thought that you'd want what I want, sorry my dear
But where are the clowns? Send in the clowns
Don't bother they're here

Isn't it rich? Isn't it queer?
Losing my timing this late in my career
But where are the clowns? Send in the clowns
Well, maybe next year

Sometimes I think I am in a tower of Babel here on earth.
Babel means a bedlam of sounds. So were they different
languages or a bunch of prattle that a person couldn't make
out what anyone was saying in relation to the tower of Babel?

I studied religion growing up and some theology in later years.
The one question that comes to my mind constantly is, "Couldn't
God have created A Garden of Eden for every nationality or race and made an Adam & Eve for each one?"

Welcome back Shagna, I'm new.

Know what you mean Marie. Mine moved to CA,
my daughter didn't say anything to me, & I
never got to tell the grandkids bye. I raised
them, until they left.

I'm single. Sometimes I like it, and other times I wish I had someone around. The older I get, the more I want someone!

Everyone has an opinion and it's a free country. But no one has the right to terminate another's invite to say hi or I need someone to talk to. If the shoe was on the other foot, how would they feel. I haven't been on this site that long and I don't have the time, due to work, to be on as much as some other people do. There are clicks of people here and some can be slightly rude to others inserting their comments into one of their threads. I smile or say hi to all people I walk by. If someone comes up to me and states they need someone to talk to, I will listen. I was taught that from the earliest I can remember. This is a very good sight. I have learned a lot about a lot of the people on here, just by reading their comments. If anyone needs someone to talk to, I'm here. If you need a smile, , I can send you one. If you need someone to listen to you, I am here. Send me an e-mail and I will be there if you need a friend. There is nothing so offensive as the small-mindedness of people. To all you newcomers, welcome and to the old ones, Hi

Have you tried a single parents group?
They get together & have nights out
with the kids and other times it's adults
only.

Summer is our busy time, Everyone moves.

My week was stressed. We have to finish auditing shipments
for convention sales, for the end of the fiscal year. Have to
work a few hours tomorrow. Happy Birthday Macona!!!

They were going to bed,
To get ready for tomorrow.

Lonely, you took off at the wrong time.
The ladies are getting tired and leaving.
You may as well take you a bubble bath
and enjoy it with a few drinks.
