sorry about your foray into dating...seems an impossible venture to me, but like you, I'm lonely. Just gotta keep staying involved in my communities and activities. Hope to find someone that way. 

are you going to camp?

It can be a little strange in the dating game at this point in life, the women that my friends have decided would be good for me just didn't work out and the one woman I contacted from the past got to serious to fast.  Best thing to do is care for yourself first and let everything just flow at its own pace, I know it is hard to except but sometimes being alone is not all that bad. Good luck,  let your emotions take their natural course and if you have faith, pray and listen for answers.  Max

Greetings, all, and apologies for not posting much lately. This is such a great group of people and it's great to keep in touch. Sorry I've been so negligent. I'm in NW Illinois and would love to meet up with anyone who is in that area or any driving distance of this area. I stepped into the dating game 3 months ago and have just gotten severely burned in the process. I am experiencing all sorts of emotions and it's opened old grieving wounds I thought were healed, but God is always with me and I will be stronger when I'm completely on the other side of this.

Hi, I don't post often, either, but I do check in and read the posts.  I am on Facebook, too and find it  a good way to keep in touch.  You can find me at Fran McQuiston  and ask to "friend" me.  We are all at different points on this journey and it is good to have someone who understands.

For all of you that were in the generation that use to travel with families on the holiday, with the windows open, radio playing and games that we played in the car.  

One of my first jobs after getting out of the Air Force was manager for Stuckey's Pecan Shoppe in Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and Pennsylvania and today the 4th of July was my favorite time in the stores.  I always enjoyed the families that would stop in to eat at the snack bar, pickup some candy and buy something for the kids to keep them busy.

Stuckey's was unique in many ways and the people that managed them, both worked and lived at the store locations.  My wife and family were right there with me every day from open to close and it was a great time in our lives, Esther was there to great you in the snack bar, my daughter would open the door for you and my son was there to ring your sale up after I helped you outside with you car service.  That moment in time was one that my wife loved and talked about later in life as the happiest family time.

So today with all your pressures - take time to remember the past and smile.

Hi Owlsbert and Jordan.  Nice to meet you.  I am new to the site.  Sunday was 9 months for me.  I hate the roller coaster ride but I do understand it will get better.  I am in Texas but if either of you would care to friend me on FB, Janet Sellars.  I am not on there as much as I am here.

Hi, Owlsbert, and everyone. It's been a while since I've posted anything, too. Welcome to our newcomers. As we so often say, we're sorry you have to be here, but happy to meet you. Max, it's a shame you caught us during one of our slow spells. It seems to go in surges, sometimes it gets very busy here.

I too have been spending a lot of time on Facebook, but I didn't know others from WV are there. Do we have a FB site for the village, or do you just find each other?

The same with Meetup. I have joined, but find most in my area are much younger, and we aren't looking for the same things. Like many of you, I'm not looking for a new love, but would like somebody, man or woman, to get together for coffee or dinner, go to a movie, or just sit on the deck and watch the sunset. Anyone here in Northern California, East Bay, around Mt. Diablo?

As long as I'm here, I'd better check in with some of my other groups. I'll see some of you in the widowed in 2010, and perhaps other in other places. Thanks, Max, for getting us back together.

Hi everybody, it's really along time since I 'checked in'.    First I'd like to welcome  all the new 'faces' that have 'joined' our Group since the last time I logged in.   Each of us are in different stages of grief, some futher down the 'road' than others, but, this I do know;  you will gather strength from the folks in this Group;  there is a genuine feeling of 'love', for each other, that transcends the miles we are apart...I'm in Scotland.    We do care for each other, and, though we don't' appear' on WV very often, many of us have become  'friends' on Facebook, and regularly keep in touch that way.... FB seems more 'personal' I guess.

Anyway "Hi" to all of you..."take care" and big ((((hugs))) all round.

Max, it is hard some times to keep up with chat.  I will stop in and say hi and sometimes I join in and there are times I just listen/read what people are talking about.  Chat at least gives me one way to interact with other people even if it is over the internet.
