H1N1 vaccine. Are you getting a shot? Posted: 10/31/2009 7:55:11 PM
Yes got the H1N1 and the flu shot Friday lunchtime. I have diabetes and work for a group of pediatricians so we all need to be vaccinnated. We have premmies and babies with immune compromised systems and children with asthma, and other problems. Would hate to be the one to give them H1N1 by my being a carrier for the germs. My right arm where I got the H1N1 shot hurts like heck and I did not get a great night's sleep last night but hopefully will be right as rain for Monday morning's work. Sandra.

Why Are Over 45 Men In Love With Motorcycles? Posted: 9/13/2009 8:23:37 PM
Why not? After all at that age they have to have something to love LOL. Personally I prefer a guy that does not have a Harley, there are plenty of other motorcycles out there to choose from. I ride a maxi scooter a 400cc Suzuki and have put over 11,000 kms on it in 2 years. Been from BC to Alberta through the Rockies twice and what a blast. Hugging the curves and roaring through the Canyons - nothing like it. (Well maybe good you know what ***) I have been in an accident and injured but thanks to a concussion do not remember it and so got another set of wheels and carried on. It is a part of my life and character and a part of who I am. I also took the Motorcycle Safety Course and passed first time but found the maxi scooter to be the best fit for me. It's automatic and I get approx 62 miles to the gallon (85 km per 4 litres) so it is great for fuel costs and a heck of a sight more fun than my car. Cheers Sandra.

Do Women really avoid Scorpio's??? Posted: 6/28/2009 2:38:37 PM
Depends upon the woman I suppose. A Scorpio is supposed to be one of my "matches" in Astrology and I do have 2 best girl friends that are Scorpios. We go back a long way and have a huge connection. I have found Male Scorpios to be highly sexed and very passionate which suits me right down to the ground. The ones I steer clear of are Geminis - they never can make up their minds and are always checking out other women. Makes you feel quite insignificant.

What Would Do If Your Date Said To You, I'm Use To Dating Someone Better Looking Than You? Posted: 6/28/2009 2:32:57 PM
That's funny I got told once Gee you are better looking in person than your photo. I was speechless. The date did not go well. If a guy said that to me, I'd say well nice meeting such a jerk as you, don't call me and I won't call you. Ta ra.

Whats an instant turn on for you Posted: 6/28/2009 2:30:01 PM
Grey hair and brown eyes. A wicked sense of humour and a great smile. Turn offs are offensive personal hygenie, snobbishness, put downs.

Women with Harleys Posted: 6/28/2009 2:25:39 PM
Myself I have a maxi scooter and ride it for the gas saving qualities it has and for the fun aspect. Recently I travelled to Calgary Alberta from Victoria BC and I got 75 miles per gallon or 120 kms per 4 litres. It cost me $40 to do the trip in gas one way then the return journey was $34. I have had an accident on my first scooter but recovered and purchased a second one and am coming up on my 2 yr anniversary of having /riding my maxi scooter. If a guy has a problem with my profile saying that I ride, pass me on by. I don't need another "Mother" saying please don't go out and play today dear. I am an adult I like adult pleasures and riding my scoot is one of them. Get used to it.

what do girls think of guys who take antidepressants? Posted: 6/28/2009 2:12:55 PM
Personally I don't have a problem with a guy taking antidepressants. So long as he is getting help that is the main thing. I can't see why that would be held against him - in fact if he was NOT getting help I would be upset. When there is a solution to a problem medical or physical and someone disregards the solution, it opens up a whole new set of problems in the relationship be it dating or otherwise. Be he who lives with out sin be the first to cast a stone (or whatever the saying goes ) LOL

How long would you wait to have sex? Posted: 3/28/2009 11:38:00 PM
Apparently my Honey wanted to jump my bones when he met me on the first date but did not want to scare me off. On the 3rd date I said it was ok for him to give me a goodnight kiss. I thought he was shy, he was going slow. He was going so slow I thought he did not like me !!! It was about 2 dates after that before we hit the sack. We had had the discussion and felt we were both ready and on the same page which was important to us both. Each relationship is different and it is only the people involved in it who know how they feel. Whether it is the first date ot the 6th, a mutual agreement on how things are and how you want them to develop is essential. It is so much better when you care about each other instead of just an empty one night stand. Been there done that- not going to do that ever again. Sandra.

Concerning makin love.. Posted: 3/28/2009 11:16:24 PM
PS sometimes we get so worked up - we joke we are both going to die frozen in position and how embarrassing it would be. We are both a few pounds overweight and worry about our hearts giving out in the middle of things LOL. But we're still here and having fun.

Concerning makin love.. Posted: 3/28/2009 11:13:20 PM
At 52 going on 53 in July I am the best I have ever been. It really makes a difference when you have a significant other in your life whose only ambition in bed is to please you first and make you happy before he climaxes. I regularily multi-orgasm 6-7 times with him to his twice. Best thing is after when we spoon and cuddle and relax. He holds me oh so tight and it's heaven. I try different things because I trust him and want to make him happy too. We have fun in bed as well as making love. We giggle and act like a couple of youngsters and I hope we always do. I was married to a very selfish guy for 26 yrs and who said well if you haven't come, it's not my fault. Yeah right. Heard he needs the V drug to do anything now. My honey is 2 yrs younger than me and does not need a thing. Except me. LOL. Sandra.

who takes the first step? Posted: 3/28/2009 10:57:06 PM
My last 3 boyfriends all iniated contact with me first. My current boyfriend -(the last of the 3 and I hope the one to last till the end of time) and I broke up and I got back in touch with him after 4 months had gone by. He was happy that I did send him a email Xmas card as he said it gave him an excuse to respond to me. He actually thought if he got in contact all by himself I'd reject his contact. I had told him I couldn't stay in contact with him as a friend after dating him and thinking about him dating another person. But I misunderstood him and he was not sure what he had said in the end anyway. We got back together and have been together ever since. I am just so happy to have had a second chance with my Teddy Bear. So to all you women out there, be brave, dare to contact first. It is the 21st Century and we are allowed. Hugs Sandra.

Calling All Divorcees Posted: 1/20/2009 9:24:26 PM
In my case I stayed married until the youngest daughter was graduated then I gave 2 weeks notice that I was moving out and filed for divorce. He paid me out of the house so he retained the house and I would also say 70% of the belongings and furnishings too. I was just so happy to be on my own away from the abuse at long last. He was a typical 1950's husband in that the wife did all the housework, looked after the children, also went to work, decorated, gardened and all he did was go to work and come home and play in his workshop and garage. In the 26 yrs I was married I can count on one hand how many times he cooked a meal. He only ever changed 1 diaper and as for going out to eat - "why did he give me housekeeping if not to cook meals with"? Yeah a real prize. My standard of living plummeted after the divorce and it took me a good 4 years before I was able to afford a holiday - had to have that one as it was my eldest daughter's wedding in Las Vegas!! Her hubby and her paid all the wedding costs - I just paid for my flight and hotel and shopping expenses- dress shoes etc. So I did not come out ahead financially. Sally.

Is love dead? Posted: 1/19/2009 9:21:17 PM
No love is not dead. Sometimes it just takes longer to find us. I have been single/divorced for 6 yrs and although in that time I have had 3 LTR's nothing came of any of them. I had almost given up when I answered an email on here from a local fellow. We met up dated for a month and I got too big for my boots and acted like a princess. He was very busy and could not pay as much attention to me as I wanted. We broke up and I regretted it daily for 4 months. Then I sent out a blanket Xmas email to all of my address book. He replied back 2 weeks later which astonished me - I had not thought he would do so. He told me not a day had gone by when I was not in his mind. He was crushed when we broke up but decided to just give me time and see what happened. My Xmas email gave him the chance to get back in touch. We met up the next day and I am delighted to say we are dating exclusively and are hopefully going to be together always. Things are still busy, our work schedules do not mesh - so I have only seen him three times since we remet but I have more understanding and knowledge of what I might have missed. Someone who is younger than my dating perimeters - only by 2 1/2 yrs and that was a surprise to me. I had originally thought he was the same or older than me by 2 yrs. Someone who makes my heart throb faster when I see him, and when he smiles at me I am so lost. I married young at 18 and was not in love - I married to escape from home. I stayed married for my daughters' sakes and called it quits after 26 yrs. What I have gone through has made me the person I am today and I am so happy to have found "love" at my age 52. I am on Cloud 9 and it may take a few years to come back down to Earth. Hugs to all Sally.

why do people stay on POF after meeting someone? Posted: 1/19/2009 6:13:55 PM
I have just re-met up with a sweetheart of a guy and the day after we first met back in July 2008 he took his profile off POF and has not put it back on. We broke up a month later and only just got back in touch with each other at Xmas time. We have since talked and met up again and are now dating each other exclusively. He ticks all my boxes and I , his . Thank Goodness. I too had met people before and deleted my account only to be back on here 6 months later. This one is a real keeper and I can't believe we got back together again. It was all my fault and I fully admit I was a bit of a princess but in the end I found my Prince Charming. I like to read the Forums and get advice too. Wish everybody else on here good luck and happiness too. Sally.

Do you think your best is ... Posted: 12/6/2008 11:56:52 PM
still to come. I have been through my worst and come out the other side, tempered like a blade of steel. I have backbone and strength of purpose and know what I will let go by and that which I will not. My daughters are grown up, happy and gainfully employed and a credit to me. My divorce hurt but only as it seemed I had failed - yet when one is doing all the giving and the other is doing all the taking, it is not equal and some one is bound to get hurt and feel a failure. However through all of this, I have learnt and perservered and got on with my life knowing that if all I had to depend upon is me then so be it. Karma has been good to me as I have been to others and I am certain one day I shall meet my other half and be fulfiled and completely happy. Until then I strive to be the best I can be and hurt no one and go along with a smile on my face. Sandra.

Adventures in dating after 50 Posted: 12/6/2008 7:08:11 PM
Yes Yankee, I am fine. But it sure makes for one heck of a tale to tell someone you meet about the time you nearly died on a date. LOL. One b/f I dated for a while afterwards( 6-8 months) used to watch me eat meals very carefully for a long time. My throat used to close up on me a lot - doctor said it was a nervous reflex and my throat would relax and it would go away in time and it did. I never knew when it would happen or what would start it off so when it did happen I would just put my knife and fork down and wait it out, then try to resume eating again. I took home lots of doggie bags for a while. LOL. Been ok the last couple of years touch wood. It 's gone away. Hugs Sandra.

How much slides by now? Posted: 12/4/2008 10:22:26 PM
We were brought up learning how to cook and clean at the age of 5 in case Mum got sick and dad was away (Royal Navy). I hate housework but did it. Married a guy who 5 minutes after you washed the floors traipsed thru them with muddy boots or oil on his boots. All he cared about was a hot meal on the table when I got home after work, (he got home before me but went out to the garage and did his own thing) in fact table was wrong, he ate in front of the TV on the sofa. Table was for Xmas and if company arrived. House work was woman's work so was looking after kids and girls were useless. He wanted boys but of course we had 2 girls. He is now married to a woman with 3 grown up boys and he calls them "my sons". He still does nothing. I learned my lesson when my Mum died at 49. All her cooking and cleaning did not help her in her illness. I learned to relax and if he did not like something well, don't moan about pitch in and help. I have a wooden plaque that says " My house was cleaned yesterday, you missed it!! My place is clean and tidy but not speckless. My dishwasher has to wait till it is full before I do the dishes and sometimes it takes a week to get a full load. People say how can you leave dishes sitting there for a week? My answer - you can't see them - they are inside the dishwasher duh. I am being "green" not wasting water or hydro LOL. If a girlfriend rings up and says let's do lunch ,the laundry waits till I get back or till I decide to do it. There's more to life than housework and chores Same as if a partner (where oh where is he ?) wants an afternoon nap wink wink, I say ok meet you under the sheets honey. You won't hear me say I have to do the laundry first or let me wash the floor LOL.

Adventures in dating after 50 Posted: 12/4/2008 9:30:14 PM
My date from Hell was a few yrs back so I would have been 46 at the time. I was quite new to Internet Dating and met this guy online on another dating site. I met him 2 blocks from my place at a nice pub. He told me straight off the bat I looked so much nicer in person than in my picture and much sexier too. OK too fast for me. He looks 10 yrs older than his photo and has a checkered sports jacket on and buck teeth. He informs me he is actually a smoker and is willing to stop if he meets the right woman. We went and sat down and ordered drinks, I had a cola and he asked for a beer. We looked at the menus and ordered our meals. I am still nursing my cola and he wants another beer, having inhaled the other one in like 5 minutes. Proceeds to tell me he hates unions and how he is always losing jobs because of management decisions. He is never wrong but the management is always wrong. I am starting to feel very awkward but our meals arrive. I have only began to eat when a piece of meat goes partway down and sticks. I take a drink of pop thinking it will clear it but nope. I cannot talk, I start to panic. He finally notices and say Oh dear are you ok? I get up and indicate I am going to the washroom. My breathing gets worse and I fall in the hallway on the way to the washroom. A waitress coming out from the kitchen sees me fall and tries to help me up, I am not talking and pointing to my throat. She realises I have something stuck in my throat and gets behind me and does the Heimlich on me and I throw up all over the floor. She rushes to get my "husband" and I am thinking what husband.? Another waiter is giving me paper towels and trying to clear up the mess when my date arrives and says Oh my dear, Don't die on me , we've only just met!! I get up with the waiter's aid. My date is wringing his hands and saying "Oh my God "over and over. I disappear into the washroom absolutely mortified and thinking "You are so not worth dying for". I came out of the washroom and he is hovering in the hall and takes my arm and leads me back to the table. I grab my bag and say I am so sorry I just need to go home. He wants to walk me home. I never want to see him again. I say ok but I need to pay my part of the bill. He says wait here and I'll go do that. Once he disappears into the restaurant part I walk out the front door and run home as fast as I can. He emails me for a week later trying to have a second date with me and telling me what a lovely woman I am and so sexy. Yeah right. That was my date from Hell and almost my last date !!!Literally.

Do women need to work at it harder after 45? Posted: 11/11/2008 8:04:23 PM
This thread has been hilarious... I never knew so many people men and women get so uptight about a subject on here like this. I have been laughing and giggling reading most of these posts for over an hour now. Jeez what a load of BS to get upset about. I have a male friend (just a friend nothing else) who 's 54 and is single and rides a motorcycle and has an attitude. I asked him recently why he chased after young bimbos that were too young for him? His reply was "Because I can" He went on to say if a pretty young thing came on to him did you think he's reply Heck no you're too young for me. He said I'd think I'd died and gone to heaven especially after I'd shagged her. I laughed but realised later it is precisely his attitude that lets him get away with that. Just because he can. We women over 45, I am 52 by the way going on 53, have to come up with that same attitude and confidence. Ok the 35 yr old Blondie may catch his eyes but then again can she cook? can she sew? can she string together enough words to make sense and keep him laughing? I'm sure us older women have seen it all and if we have not well let's see what around the next corner. LOL. I divorced at 45, changed careers, moved and went back to work full time. But I also took a motorcycle course, rode on a small Road Trip by myself and have had so much more fun in the last 7 yrs than all my other yrs . Sure I'd like someone to grow old with together, to join in having fun and sex with during those alone times . But in the meantime I'm just going to keep busy catching up on all the things I want to do and learn and have fun while this body of mine still can - because I can too. Sally.
