As far as the Match.com thing goes...
PW made me so curious about it that I filled out a free profile (did not do the pay service). Chose not to post a picture, for the same reason you will never see one of me here on the DIS. I feel very uncomfortable with the idea of photos of me floating around on the internet. That might limit my views, but oh well, I was only doing the match.com thing for fun, have no intention of actually getting together with someone from the internet. Got a few completely horrible winks, and some uninteresting emails. One email though was rather interesting. The guy works at Disney!!! In some position involving computer support. He seemed genuinely interesting and his emails have been intelligent (as opposed to some people who you have to wonder if they passed the 3rd grade, let alone have any advanced degree!)
He invited me to an evening out at WDW...but while it was tempting to find someone so interested in Disney who seems nice enough in other respects, I turned him down for now...told him I thought it would be better if we communicated a bit more through emails before meeting. Plus, I was seeing "friend" at the time, and while things with him were extremely casual and I could have seen someone else had I wished, I was just uncomfortable with the thought of more than one guy at a time ( I am not knocking anyone who is seeing more than one person at a time). I have a hard enough time juggling one guy into my schedule!! Now with the possibility of things with "work guy" on the horizon...well I just don't know about "match.com guy." As I said, I never actually thought any of the men on there would interest me, nor that I would be in the position where I would be thinking about meeting any of them. I suppose I always thought that meeting someone off the internet was "weird" but then I thought of it in the perspective that if I were the type to go to a bar, anyone I met there would be just as much of a stranger as a person on the internet, and have just as large of a possibility of being a psycho!!

These married/attached people who can't seem to drag themselves away from their SO's honestly drive me nuts. I would think as people get older, they tend to move away from that dependent phase. I don't know. But, I know there are married people out there who understand the value of friends outside of their marriage. I personally feel lonely and isolated without outside friends, even if I'm in a good romantic relationship.
Used to be such a good planner and organized. That went out the window! Hmmm...how about you, Vicki? Still good at keeping up or letting things slide just a bit?
It was also the age I was when my husband died. 
Pretty big year I guess. I'm in my early 40s. Richard thinks I'm 39. 
And maybe he has a brother.
