I wish each of you a Happy Thanksgiving. I'm here in Vegas and just getting ready to walk the strip, so I'm hoping it doesn't turn into one of those tv movies and I wake up married to a complete stranger. With my luck it would be someone 80 years old and worse yet a friggin man. God help me! Seriously though, with all the main holidays coming up, I hope all of you remain safe, healthy, and happy. If you get down or develop some sadness during the holidays, I hope you'll turn to us to help you through it and give you as much support as we can. Sincerely, Tom You'll have to share with us all the fun you had. :) He never reported back, wonder if "what went to Vegas, stayed in Vegas???? since I'm new here so I'm late responding to everyones posts, I thought it was hilarious {lmbo } when I read:so I'm hoping it doesn't turn into one of those tv movies and I wake up married to a complete stranger. With my luck it would be someone 80 years old and worse yet a friggin man. God help me! I would love to see the look on your face the morning you got up if that were to happen .

Brighteyes, if I may call you that; to many angels on here. Or may we use your name; Anne?? Welcome to the family, you should find plenty of debates here. We all enjoy sharing opinions, another one from across the pond, will be interesting. Agree, when you find that certain one; things just click. Hope you will share more about yourself & life in England. Bonny is from there & Invisible, is from Ireland; if I remember right. You can call me Anne if you wish... as the other name is only a user name. Anne

I think we also shy away from relationships due to past experience. We meet men with a shield up so that we don't get hurt again. Is it fair...no....but that is the only defense we have to protect our hearts from pain.

And, I agree that at this age we know better than ever what we want, which probably makes it even harder to find a companion.

Fifty is nifty. You can do anything except you can't do it as often or indulge as much as you did when you were in your 20's. If you can't keep up, then there are pharmaceuticals that help. I just don't need them...yet! However, I find dating fun and a lot less game playing. I have met some very nice ladies. Everyone has a little or a lot of baggage, but what's important is how they are dealing with their stuff. I have my stuff as well, but I'm dealing with it well and expect to move forward. Let's raise a glass of wine to that.

Morning everyone and thanks for the welcome from everyone...and your right about the putting up a shild to protect ourselves...but i also think that if you are on this page talking about what scares you what makes you happy or unhappy...if you had a bad marriage and think you cant trust anyone....You have made a step to lower your shield an express your feeling...and have made it here where at our age we have all been on a bumpy road of life.... Why do men say LOOKING FOR A WOMEN NO BAGGAGE..life is filled with baggage its how we carry it around...sorry women say that to... Yvonne

Yeap we both do a little bit of the same to each other. Shield are lowering but then came another smack for me but I'm strong and I'm looking for my dreams. And we'll see what life gives me. Nice to see you respond. Stick around the more the merrier. :)
