LOL, I love Pat and her wit! Priceless!

Wants, I too am more comfortable at this time having an
"e-pal," and would look forward to intelligent correspondence. I had been offered several art teaching jobs in Alaska, having posted my application on the Alaska Teacher Placement. Wanting to know more about the area, I joined Alaska friends online, and actually posted my profile on there, stating clearly that I just wanted to meet people there and learn about living conditions, various areas, etc.
I heard from two men, one a widower my age, who had recently moved from the southern US and had a great job as state archivist. We corresponded for several weeks, but then i started receiving mass emailings to 20 or so women, of which I was included. I stopped answering him, needless to say.
Then on the same site, a man stating his age as "80" contacted me, though he lives in AZ, not AK! He was coming to Ohio "on business" and wanted to set up a person-to-person meeting. He actually bombarded me with emails and I started deleting them.
Yeah, it would be nice to meet a male online who wanted to correspond and get to know one another without getting right to it, or who sincerely wanted to get to know me one-on-one (without sending out mass mailings!)
Gotta go...company for now!
Love
Patty
