@JaneOnceMore - It is hard for me to support everyone here. I read all the posts; everyone is in my thoughts & prayers. I just don't have the time, the stamina to write individually all the time. It can be very hard, especially if a post is on another page, and it may even be if you do an advanced post or preview your post because all the posts ahead of you don't show on the page you are posting from. I preview a lot of my posts because I often post pictures & I want to be sure they post correctly. I don't even remember to give every post a hug even though I mean to. I do commiserate with you on your bad date. I too have had internet dates turn out not close to their profile picture or much older than I desired & how old they told me they were beforehand or who were not at all into the lifestyle I live & wanted in return. I even changed my phone number once because one was so persistent (this was back when most people still used their house phone because unlimited minutes on a cell phone was so expensive. But on the other hand, I met H online, and we've been married 20 years, 21 yr. less than a month away now. But it is hard to be on your own, wishing you had a partner
