HELLO! I AM HERE AND I AGREE THAT SUNDAY IS A LONELY DAY. I CANNOT FIND A CHURCH THAT HAS A SIGN LANGUAGE INTERPRETER. WE ARE HAVING FIRES HERE IN WASHINGTON STATE AND THE SMOKE IS FILLING THE ATMOSPHERE MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO BREATHE. SO FAR NO FIRES IN OUR IMMEDIATE AREA. I HAVE AN AIR PURIFIER THAT IS HELPING A GREAT DEAL. KK

yes sunday is slow....tv try history ch....today they have reruns of American Pickers a couple guys that travel around and go thru junk collections buying stuff for their second hand stores in Iowa and Nashville.....it is a pretty good show....they also have pawn stars which is about a pawn show in vegas that buys all kinds of stuff too...they really steal some of the stuff they buy but they are there to make profits....it is pretty funny because of the personalities of the guys on show...dad son grand dad and friend of sons who is like family are main stars....it is fine fun....:-[)

I slept all day today to almost 4pm because I was up all night in ER with back pain....

I'm here, another boring lonely Sunday for me as well. I keep getting the urge to get out there and meet someone but I really don't even know how to go about doing it. I used to have more friends than I do now, and even a girlfriend but I really just feel so alone and misunderstood. Finding someone who I can relate with seems to be a challenge.

I used to like watching American Pickers and Pawn Stars on the History channel too on my former boyfriend's big screen TV too! I don't own a TV now so that's not an entertainment option for me. I've been busy all day writing messages to Daily Strength and Facebook friends ~ finally ate some lunch. I want to take a shower now but realized one of the friends I wanted to write to is on the East Coast 3 hours later than here in Oregon. So I'd better write now or he won't see it before he heads to bed in a couple of hours.

I'm surprised that Bill didn't mention about Meetup groups as a place to meet folks as I've often seen him comment about them in other discussions. Go to www.meetup.com and put in your town and how far you're willing to drive ~ you'll likely see all kinds of interesting groups that you can join. I live in an area of small towns in Southern Oregon and there's 48 groups within 10 miles and 89 groups within 25 miles of where I live!

Unfortunately because I have a serious chronic fatigue illness I don't have the energy to go out an do things with people in person. I do know some gals who have a lot of fun doing activities with some of the local Meetup groups ~ I see their photos on Facebook so I know the groups are very active. There's social groups sometimes just for women if you don't want to get involved in any kind of "dating" energy ~ though a lot of times the social singles groups say that they're to have fun and not necessarily to meet to date. There's hiking,, photography, vegetarian dining, card games ~ all kinds of fun activities.

I think it's much less lonely actually meeting people and doing things in person and making friends rather than just writing messages on DS and Facebook as I've been doing today. But writing messages to friends online to me still beats watching TV alone! Best wishes to you Barbara ~ and KittKai, Bill and Enigmaticloner ~ hope that you're able to connect and find something more fun to do next weekend!

I live in san francisco. There are places to go. I have to spend money again.I try to stay home more so I do not need to spend money.

peter I know that one all too well....that seems to me why I sleep all the time...it does not cost me money to sleep...LOL

Anyway yes meetup.com is cool....I am an organizer of singles over 50 in my city,....it does cost me money so I am stepping out of that role in Dec.....my assistant will take over the group...she is nice but I think the group could use some one new to be organizer...but as long as it is not me I will be a member but no more of that organizer role...

hi edgar, you are not alone with the sunday long day issue. it is a day off for me and instead of relaxing I immerse myself in work around the house inside and outside. I find it helps me a lot even if I am alone, it releases stress and anxiety for me. do you like the outdoors? I enjoy walking, even if I am alone, I can think about things in a better perspective. I agree with the meetups, I have looked at some but for me it is the intial getting out and doing it. when we are lonely we need to fight the urge to isolate even more. hugss

Do you have a DVD so you can watch some movies instead of TV or possibly read a good book? Sunday's are hard on a lot of people. You are not alone!! HugsGB

Have you tried finding old tv shows on the internet like Youtube? I have found some that I never thought I would see again. Got some good DVDs too.
Yes, Sundays are lonely!!!
