Loretta It's hard to find someone. I stopped long ago and OK with it. I did meet my now ex husband using a newspaper service but that was back in the 1990's. If you are looking, I hope you find the right person.

It rained last night!

The Horse @TheHorse (218788) • Walnut Creek, California 11 Nov

I woke up this morning to cloudy skies and wet pavement outside. Usually I can hear the rain running through our gutter, but I did not last night. Perhaps it was a very slow and steady rain. I hope this is the beginning of a nice...

Loretta My girlfriend said it rain a bit where she is in CA. It's been in a drought for so long. It was when I lived there and I moved back in 2015. It's nothing but rain where I am right now. I'm hosting in a western state park in WA. When they say these parks are...

My nephew has a week to live.

Judy Story @jstory07 (139697) • Roseburg, Oregon 6 Nov

My nephew is only 42 years old. He is a middle child and never got into any trouble. He is the last one that I would expect to get into any trouble. He never did. Now I guess he started drinking five years ago. Than he...

I Love Soup

Marie @Tampa_girl7 (50249) • United States 5 Nov

I love soup and enjoy eating it all year long. I probably do make it more in cooler weather, but we enjoy it in the summertime too. Last week I made some garbanzo bean soup. They are also known as chick peas. We like the flavor...

Honest Writing

much2say @much2say (55601) • Los Angeles, California 12 Nov

Loretta You don't. Anyone can be anything online. I dated using a newspaper program back in the later 1990's. The newspaper had it where you could place a free ad, get a free voice mail and those responding had to pay to leave a voice mail. I was in college, working...

Loretta That is so sad. It sounds like he hid some things from her but if he was doing drugs and vaping, she had to have known. She may have been in denial. Hopefully, she'll have a bit left from the house and can use it to get some skills for a good job.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (37444) 29 Oct
