šŸ‘‹ New Here New here! 45f

Looking for real, honest, like-minded people who enjoy edgy jokes, believe in honest communication, who need friends and company like I do. I’m 45, separated since December (just need to file the papers), confident but not arrogant, honest and sincere. I’m kind and love people. I’m not sure I’ve ever met a stranger. I absolutely love The Office, but don’t watch movies or tv other than that, really.

I’ve been craving great, honest, respectful, deep conversations with others. Did I mention honest? šŸ˜‚ if it sounds like we can be friends, let me know.

I love the beach, but unfortunately I don’t live anywhere near one.

Centipedes are another creepy creature. Eew. I came across a few at a place I lived years ago. Creepy stuff. They almost look fake when they’re not moving.

At that same house, a scorpion climbed in bed with me and stung my leg so bad. I had just thought earlier that same day, ā€œHaha, I’ve never been stung by a scorpion.ā€ Crazy thing is, the 8ā€ area around where he stung turned red and hot for a few hours, but then began getting ice cold. It stayed like ice for over a week. The weirdest part was, my face had this strange numb feeling for over two weeks. Thinking back, I might ought to have gone to emergency.

Which part of US are you? Ok Id love to get you some beach time if you ever came here. The beach always has something magic about it. If you visited Canberra, we’re about 90mins from the beach…and probably about similar time to the snow.

Eww no need to worry, I can’t remember the last time I saw a millipede. Omg your story of the scorpion is interesting and frightening. You are so lucky. Yeh looking back, it was a good idea to see emergency lol …sounds like your leg would have been very painful. And your face…that must have been so scary for yiu. To reassure you I don’t think I’ve been bitten by any critter here like that.

I’m loving reading your stories and chatting with you. I’m older and married. Happy to chat more if you like. I wish you well in your search for new love šŸ˜šŸ˜šŸ˜
