I was just sitting here thinking about all the lovely people I've met here. There are a number of things that come to mind. The annual holiday card swap, the Cali-birthday party, the Sunny Munch, the gatherings in Florida, Virginia, Tennessee, Vegas, etc. over the years in which a whole slew of folks have met each other. I've met people at airports on long layovers, for coffee when I was speaking at a convention, for a wedding or two, at a truck stop for breakfast, taken people sightseeing when they were in my town for a business meeting. There have been several people who have become skype friends in Sunshine World. I've had crazy crushes on 3 different men on this site - and met every one of them. I proudly call one of them my friend. The other two? Still adore them, but there's not a sliver of a chance for more than a bit of fun here and there. I've played a couple of times. I've dated on occasion. Even attempted a long term relationship or two. Made some of those sister-from-another-mother friendships. I remember fondly the times people have met at parties, dinners, at an event and were gracious enough to bring their skype-laden technology with them just so I could join in. What good people here. OP, I am nobody special. I'm just some gal. But I've met about a hundred people from here, all told, over the years. Some I liked, some not so much. I'm sure some of them think the worst of me, and some think the best. Hopefully, most folks recognize the complexity of people. I don't have a sweetie right now. But I do my best not to let it get me down. What I do have though is this. I have a brain, and I use it. I also have a heart, and I use it. Hopefully at the same time. My grandma always told me that I shouldn't go out looking for the guy I wanted. She told me I should be the woman that the guy I wanted would want. I do my dangedest to follow her advice. Wise woman, my grandmother. Good luck to you. sunshine *edited to fix the topic spelling... it was driving someone crazy - I don't remember who.
