Lent Day Seven - Delaware, A Gentleman Friend and Sushi!

My goal is to go someplace that I've never been at least once a year. That hasn't happened this year. I was on my way to Philadelphia in 2019 and the train briefly stopped in Delaware. My thought at the time was Yee Haw! I've never been to Delaware. Obviously there was no time to explore Delaware nor did I get much time as I would have liked in Philadelphia. Life on life's term.

Libras are cosmetically designed for partnership but I really haven't been searching for the "Great Him!!!" Does he really exist? I survived two very difficult marriages, a couple of disastrous relationships courtesy of SFF. I really detest the dating game and I am allergic to drama.

I enjoy my own company. I can happily cross that bridge and frolic in the field of sunflowers all by myself. So why did I answer a message a few days ago. We've exchanged numbers and now are sending each other photos. Steps lead to Lucky . He's XXV and I am XLIII,

I told him about my adventures with the Texas Truckdriver and Gemini Rising before finally making it back to West Virginia to take care of Grumpy.

Lent -It's Friday, I really can't cook fish and I was tired of my own cooking. I decided to bebop over to the local Japanese Steakhouse. It could be that my taste buds are very sensitive after being on a mostly bland diet for the past month. The salmon and vegetables tasted like they were drenched in soy sauce. It was not good at all. I two dollars for a few pieces of Sushi which was the California Roll. (Wussy Sushi)

Next time, I will get a more adventurous sushi roll with just the clear soup and salad. (They were good.

My theory about Sushi. Raw fish is bait, wasabi is passion. Sushi dipped in wasabi lures passion. Maybe it is just as well that I had that wimpy California Sushi. I am not really sure that I want to lure passion right now.

My step- told "Next time you go, get the key west roll." I think I will next time and go with a date. Perhaps Mr. Delaware?!

When I was being assessed in the hospital earlier this month, I was asked how much pain was I willing to tolerate.

ZERO! NONE!


Relationships can be painful too.

Interesting post! Maybe someday I'll jump back into the dating pool. Experiences like the ones you mentioned have made me wary, so for now I've decided that instead of actively looking I'll just let things happen and if I should meet someone nice then that's great. If not, I'm super happy in my new condo with fun hobbies and plenty of buddies staying in touch. So happy for you … best wishes on a future date with Mr. Delaware!

A day without dance is .... just kidding. I have no idea!

You know the story of MrJoe and me. I was NOT looking for a romance, just a friend with whom I could talk, laugh, and go places because I was not a person that would go out to eat by myself and my kids were not always available at the same time as I was.
I got a wonderful surprise when I met Joe. We never know what lies ahead.

I'm a libran also and prefer to leave well enough alone - 'me, myself, I' are on reasonably good terms which is suffice for now. All the best with the Delaware gentleman

Good luck with your new gentleman friend. You are a braver lady than I, not that I'm interested or looking I hasten to add.

When I joined here, a lot of people were dating, some getting married, and the atmosphere was lighter. I also dated but like Maudie, Im not interested any more. It was an exciting time but I have become very cynical and I dont like that feeling.
However, I wish you good luck and enjoy,

I had been married twice and definitely not interested in another relationship. I didn't date, just doing what I want, if I want and moving through life enjoying myself and with the 3 gals I ran around with.

I have told this before but here goes anyway. My longtime gal friend came to visit me in Indiana and saw I had a computer. She said, you need to go on a chat site and you will enjoy it. I said no, not interested in talking to someone I didn't know. Well.........she got me on one and told me to sit down and chat..uugghh! Gosh it was fun so I continued. Eventually SFF contacted me and I thought, ohh, seniors, makes sense so I continued.

Eventually I saw Alfie writing stories, like he is doing now. I would check the next chapter and found I was actually getting interested. One day he made a comment to me...can't you tell I am flirting with you with my comments....uhhh, oh was that what it was

We got on a private line and started chatted. I eventually gave him my phone number.

He flew to Indiana and I drove down about an hour to Evansville to meet him. He got off the plane and grabbed hold of me and kissed me. There were several people from the plane, in the cafeteria right by there, and bright lights.

When we came up for air there were no people around, the cafeteria was shut down, lights were dimmed. Hmmm, how long was that kiss???

Two of my grands lived not far from there so we met at a place called Show Me, kind of similar to Hooters where my granddaughter worked.

We all sat talking and I reached down for my large purse on the floor and fell off the chair.......!!! I don't drink much but I think it was just klutzy me and nerves. I had only had about a half a glass of Guinness. Alfie helped me up, my grands had their mouths hung open and Alfie looked at them and said.......now this is my kind of woman! My grands said, we thought you blew it Grandma and said, we really like him so you have our permission to continue.

Here we are, many years later, married, happy and I eventually moved to Georgia to be with him.
