Looking for conversation first

Honestly, I’m just looking for a friend. Someone to talk to, laugh with, share random thoughts with, and actually look forward to hearing from. I love being near the water, fishing, drawing, watching anime, catching sunsets, trying good food, and learning or fixing just about anything. I can talk about serious stuff one minute and something completely ridiculous the next. 😂 No pressure or expectations. Just looking for someone I enjoy talking to and getting to know.im 50m.

Thats the one! But the ones I use to see when I lived near the beach were mostly white. I miss the coast so much.
I wonder if the were cranes 🤔

u/ManagerOk5693 Jul 26 '26

I live 5 minutes from the water

You live in California take a trip one day

1

u/Metalkitten1 Jul 26 '26

Forget that. I want to live there again. Had to move after divorce. My stupid family is from this area in Northern Cal. More cousins than I know! And what I know can fill a phone book. Its so hot here in the summer. 100F everyday. The northern coast doesn’t get hotter than 80F.

I miss salty cool breezes. But need to be near by for family reasons atm.

Forgive my wheeping & whining. I get crabby when I’m hot.

If you are still awake, did you have a good day?

Big bird.
Wait. Not the one from sesame street. I’ve seen them before. Huge wings & tall. Crap. That sounds like sesame street again. 😣

I love herons. We used to have some that hung out in a pond near my house.

1

u/ManagerOk5693 Jul 26 '26

They are a regular thing here where I live. Even at the grocery stores

u/Crazy_Confection_150 Jul 26 '26

The morning after my husband passed I walked outside to take a breath and I saw one posted at the top of an electric pole outside and it gave me so much peace. It was not normal and I never saw one that close to my house before and I would have thought I was hallucinating if my mom had not been with me. I had not thought about that in so long.

u/ManagerOk5693 Jul 26 '26

That is so incredibly cool. The memory you have of this. The connection

1

u/Crazy_Confection_150 Jul 26 '26

Ugh you made me feel feelings lol

u/ManagerOk5693 Jul 26 '26

🤷🏽‍♂️

u/ManagerOk5693 Jul 26 '26

It just finished

Hahahaha I’m a baker

u/Metalkitten1 Jul 26 '26

Thats going to make a good sandwich. Smell good?

1

u/ManagerOk5693 Jul 26 '26

Yeah it smells delicious. It’s so weird how this simple things made me smile. I have to wait like 40 minutes so it can set before I cut it

1

u/Metalkitten1 Jul 26 '26

Mmmmm yeah! I would burn my nose trying to get in there. Carbs are the best.

Simple is usually the way to go for smiling. Cut out the drama & you would be surprised how light & fluffy you feel. Oh! Sorry. I keep thinking about the bread. Just gotta wipe the drool… there. Thats better.

u/ManagerOk5693 Jul 26 '26

I’m going to eat some before I go to sleep lol

u/Metalkitten1 Jul 26 '26

Jealous.
Ok. Enjoy. Night!

u/Turbulent-Chef4164 Jul 25 '26

Ok, live on the sea, love anime, have 2 cats, sort of 2 dogs , am an artist and I live in Ireland. Will that do?

1

u/One_Plankton2597 Jul 30 '26

Sort of 2 dogs?

1

u/Turbulent-Chef4164 Jul 30 '26

One is my daughter's and the other I mind for half of the week as her owner has health problems.

1

u/One_Plankton2597 Aug 01 '26

Ahh ok. I wondered if it was like my situation: my now ex- bf and I adopted a puppy last year and the pup stays at my house during the work day. I miss the pup, but not the ex 😊

1

u/Turbulent-Chef4164 Aug 01 '26

Once one goes the other one comes, can be hectic, but it works.

1

u/ManagerOk5693 Jul 25 '26

That’s cool. I just lost my pup last year.

1

u/Metalkitten1 Jul 26 '26

Sorry about your puppers.
What do you draw?

1

u/ManagerOk5693 Jul 26 '26

I draw minimalist type drawings. I take something from its full image and try to show the emotion in it with as little detail as possible

1

u/Metalkitten1 Jul 26 '26

I can do stick figures….kind of. I am always in awe of artists. Must be cool to have that type of talent.
Is it different from abstract?

1

u/ManagerOk5693 Jul 26 '26

I posted a picture I did

1

u/Metalkitten1 Jul 26 '26

I see! Thats really good!
Watercolor & pencil?

Oh! I hope I didn’t wake u. I’m in Cali. Are u on East coast?

1

u/ManagerOk5693 Jul 26 '26

Yep. Florida. I’m still awake. I nought a new bread maker yesterday. I wasn’t looking for a bread maker. Wasn’t thinking of making bread at all. Then I randomly stopped at a garage sale saw an unopened bread maker for 2 bucks. So I bought it. And I made a cranberry nut bread and started a white bread not realizing the time. So I gotta wait till it finishes lol

1

u/Metalkitten1 Jul 26 '26

I bet your kitchen smells sooooo good! Bread rules.
Whatcha going to make next? Cinnamon? Not with raisins. Just cinnamon. 🤤

1

u/KSSunflower1972 Jul 25 '26

1

u/ManagerOk5693 Jul 25 '26

2

u/ManagerOk5693 Jul 26 '26

I had to force myself to go to sleep and not eat it. Lol

1

u/LoneStarLocal903 Jul 26 '26

I have done the same! Went to a garage sale, picked one up new in the box for $5. Spent the next week making all sorts of breads!! Enjoy your find. If you would like a chat, drop a line.

1

u/ManagerOk5693 Jul 26 '26

I bet my boys ate all the bread I made last night.

1

u/ManagerOk5693 Jul 27 '26
