A little Depressing

My miss Fortune Cookie
No not really depressed, just a little bummed out about a few things. One of the other things to add to the list is, this is the second attempt to do a blog post. The first one the blog page went full derp on me. And when I tried to correct it, three para-     graphs disappeared along with 2 photos. Anyway on to my original post. It now gets dark at 5 o'clock, besides working 48 to 50 hours a week for the past two months. I guess I didn't have a post at all for October, when I get off work all I really want to do is veg out. It doesn't let me get out and meet someone new. I've been working on trying to establish new friendships. But nothing in the way of relationship material. One guy I can definitely cross off the the list. Is someone I met through a volunteer group  some 20 years ago. I thought maybe he was putting a vibe. I wasn't going to ask and go further if I wasn't sure. Could make for an uncomfortable scene if I was wrong. And again I could have sworn he was checking me out. Good thing I didn't go further turns he is seeing someone.
                                  Never Turns Out Well                             Its just as well, we don't travel in the same circles and only run into him at the gas station or grocery store. This is a photo of the guy, Tom is his name.

I would still like to be friends can't have too many. Just not sure how he would feel about it. Just as well like I said we don't cross path all that often.                                                           I need to tell all (well maybe not all) about my trip to Spo-ville aka Arizona this past Spring. I had a jolly good time visiting Spo and Someone in Phoenix. And I used the trip to visit other relatives in LA, and do a little sight seeing in Palm Springs,CA. I guess if you wish to be trendy one could say "The Springs" as it were. Also spent the first few days in June down in Tucson. Had more relatives and friends that lived there too. I took about 175 pictures so no shortage of photos to post. lol. I just hope I wasn't too much of a trying house guest. I would love to be a host for guests. But I really do not have the proper facilities at my house, ie guest bedroom with it's own bath-     room. And besides lets face it no one wants to stop for any reason in Nebraska!
Just A Shameless Plug For My State.

  1. It is great to hear from you! Kind of like where you find your keys, the right person is the last one you meet. I might end up in Nebraska in the spring for two hours of work.

    1. Hi David, Thanks for the shout out. Yeah if you ever make it to my neck of the boonies let me know. I assume you will be stopping in Omaha? About half the people in the state live in Omaha and Lincoln. Out west cows out number the people.

  2. I love the fortune cookie, but hope it turns out to be wrong for you. BTW, I am not a believer in the "one person for you" myth. I have met a half dozen guys who were perfect for me, and they all remain part of my life, though I am married only to the last one to show up. Timing, timing, timing!

    1. Hi Michael, Thanks for the encouragement. I've still have a few friends I'm trying to scope out to see if they could be more than just somebody to hang out with. I've still have my health and that's the main thing. A lot of guys my age don't even have that.

  3. Randy,
    Excellent post! You really opened up. I am still convinced that you will find that special someone. I copied your fortune cookie. For years I believed that there is a special someone out there for me and as you know, I found him. It took many years but believe me Randy, the wait was well worth it. You too will find that special someone who will recognize you for the fine and wonderful person that you are.
    As the previous commenter Michael Dodd said "Timing, timing, timing!"

    1. Hi Ron, Thanks a lot! I guess it was time to through myself out there a little more. Maybe from exasperation of not meeting anyone up till now more than any thing else. I don't want tell tales out of school on others with out their permission. I need to figure out how to meet new guys who can put up with somebody like me! lol. I once heard a line on a comedy TV show. "For every man there is somebody for him to be with, you can't complain about that." And the reply was, "I'm not complaining about it I just want to get in on it!" ;-)

    2. Randy,
      I understand your situation exactly. For 72 years; yes you read that right for 72 years I looked for the ONE. Not to belittle Bill but he always understood that I was LOOKING. Then I found HIM. Of course I have an unusual situation because I love Bill and will never leave him but you know that I have found my soulmate with "you know who." All the years I spent in bars, roaming streets, answering personals and then out of nowhere this little guy from Toronto appears. I always knew that it would happen and it did. I feel the same for you Randy because you truly are a nice guy and have a lot to offer. Your soulmate is out there. Your planets just have to come into alignment. Be patient, it will happen.

  4. keep going through the motions and be out and about around people and when you least expect or want it really you will literally stumble into someone.

    1. You are exactly right Dr. Spo. "When you least expect it." Tell me about it. It happens. May take a while but it DOES happen.
