Hi Bob. It's always a pleasure to hear from you. Glad to hear you're doing well. Did you go to Florida this winter? How are your son and grandchildren?
Not too much has changed in my life. Still single. I'm not that interested in trying dating websites and that seems to be the only way to meet people these days. I do my best to enjoy and make the most of life each day as it comes.
Not too many people visit this site anymore. It's kind of sad. It used to be thriving. But maybe that means that people have moved on with their lives and don't need the support anymore. I still check in occasionally. It's nice to get updates from old friends.
Stay well Bob! Happy 77th this year! I turn 65 soon. Yikes! Where have the years gone!!

Hi Bob and Moscato,
I just checked in and found these posts. I haven't been on here ever since they changed the format. I also want to agree with Moscato that I was first on here about 8 years ago (can't believe I have been divorced about 7 years now!) When he left me you guys really helped me so much!! It has taken me about most of this time to heal and move on. I am currently in a relationship for about 3 years now and it's fine but it will never be the same as my first love and husband. However, it is better than being lonely and I am the type to be with people. I know that sounds like I am settling but everyone has reasons why they want relationships and those reasons do change in time. I guess that I will never fully trust another man but I see more pluses than minuses in this relationship for now. I have definitely become much more independent because I have lived alone for so long after my husband left me. I am considering marriage again but not sure just yet. Moscato, I did meet this guy online after many other dates (about 40.) All I can say is not to give up if you want a relationship. I started dating this man at 63 years old and I just turned 66 so it's never too late. But I understand how hard it is and if this doesn't work out I probably won't go online again. I will check this site more often now that I know some people are still posting. It is great to hear what you have been doing lately. Take care, Donna

Donna, what a nice surprise to see a post from you! Glad to hear that you have been able to heal and move on to a new relationship. As long as he's a good man, treats you well and brings happiness to your life, it sounds like a good thing. Nothing is perfect in this life. 33 years of marriage is a long time, hard to get over that loss. I was married for 26 years. Divorced for 10 years now. I still feel some sadness over the loss of our marriage and our family unit. Two adult children and 3 grandchildren now which are also the joy of my life. I feel sad that we are not still together enjoying them as a family. Maybe someday I will try online dating. I'm a very private person and it's hard for me to put my picture and profile out there for many to see.
I turned 65 this year. I'm still working but contemplating retirement in the next couple of years. Overall, life is good, just not what I expected or hoped for at this stage of my life.
It would be great if some more "oldies" stop in with an update.
All the best!

hi Moscato, Sciteacher,. I apologize for not answering sooner. just read you post now. so nice to hear from you both. seems like only yesterday that we were all leaning on each other's shoulders. Sciteacher, happy that you're in a relationship for three years. I hope it works out .just make sure the best you can, that marriage is the right move for you. just enjoy yourself for now . Marriage, " naturally" changes people. . Moscato,. Hey, sciteacher is right.. don't give up. . I never liked those dating sites either. . There's also some pretty crazy woman out there that I ran into before I met my wife. Moscato, you may want to look into meetup groups. .Just a bunch of single elderly people that together and go out. different places. I was in one once and met some nice people men and women. Hey girls... I have to get going. ,but I'll check back more often. may e some of the other old group will get on too. Bob

Hi Bob and everyone

Really good to hear from you. I miss the people who supported me when I first came here.
It’s been 7 years divorced for me too after 30 years married and 4 dating. I have gone out but the last guy I was seeing did not end well. Met him on FB dating. But I have met some nice guys on there just no chemistry.

wow, Hi again everyone. seems like old times , except now we're in better shape. Took me a long time .You all might remember, I was married 38 years. .a long time to be with someone and someones family. let's see I'm divorced for ... I think 13 years. Wow, how fast time passes You know to be honest, ever now and then I still get a tear or two from thoughts of what happened. That's just once in a while. I have a new wife now for just over 11 years. She's a great woman from Poland. We get along most of the time just great, but. well, we both have our faults and it's a constant learning each other. . Anyway, that's me. Yes we have, been going to Florida for the winter for the last 5 or 6 years. we were always renting, but last year We bought a stationary mobile home.. Not what I really wanted, but that's what I can afford. It's ok. Ten min to the ocean. .... Hey guys never give up on meeting someone. and I still say meet up group's are the way to go. But .......But......., remember, in marriage everyone changes,and you do give up some of your freedom. It's not as easy as it sounds. On the other hand ,it's nice to be with someone. . well. ....hey, anyone know or hear about CGK ( Cowgirlkathy) ? She always has good advice for everyone. ok, my friends going to go for now. I hope more of " the old gang" ha ha logs on again. . always Bob
( Timeman) PS. Really nice hearing from all of you !!!!
