Savannah Haze, about <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2007.09.17.00.20.11200">The Fan</a>: I am also a fan of this work. I've never been in the sports fan widow situation. I've literally been stunned to watch a man turn off the Superbowl and say it was disappointing and he would get the results off the late news. Isn't that a stunner! Asked if he was a replacement due to alien abduction! I mean, WHO turned off the Packers in their heyday?? Anyway, this was great. Go turn on an infomercial and shout and yell over Amway, Mary Kay or Richard Simmons Struttin' to the Oldies and give him a dose of reverse foolishness. Or, show up at halftime in a french maid costume and tell him you'll be back after midnight or just before dawn. Watch him get frantic to find the remote, leave beer and popcorn (HOW can we compete with beer and popcorn?!?) and follow ya! Promise him his own Superbowl fantasy ring :-). Enough foolish. You take care ...... Rennie

Hey, b.k. and Ali~ thanks! Better to joke than cry. I've already had some fun and laughter dealing with new guys trying to come into my life again. They want photos. I should oblige with some glamour shots. You know that half a pound of make-up will make any old gal look at least 50 again, no? LOL. The guy who laughed at this first comment to THE PERSONALS got a possible meeting for coffee. The others cut and ran--thank goodness--well, as much as the Senile Dementia Category for online dating matches can run. Well, I need to head to bed a bit early. It takes time to massage the nose and cheeks from the coke-bottle glasses, take the teeth out and clean them, put the hair up in rag rollers and slap on a jar of cold cream. It's gonna be cold enough for the flannel sock-feet pj's and the chenille robe I keep repairing. It was so purty when I bought it off a clothes line on Monteagle Mountain on the way to Florida in the 50's. Wonder if they're still selling them there. I should get better at scratch-off or the casinos, but the well-fair check just goes so far. Hugs to you gals, and aparajita for that e-mail laugh that nearly made me have a stroke yesterday. I'll spring for a round of hugs all around for all of you ...... Rennie

LOL, Baby Rose, nope, true statement! One of many that I've had fun saying as guys are so concerned with photos and I'm more concerned in feeling a smile in what they write :). b.k. can tell ya, I'm so hard on the eyes these guys are warned to show up blindfolded ...... Rennie

Baby Rose, I've enjoyed your old soul pieces, so inspired me to go think about some ancient ideas (seems like just yesterday, she muses), and writing a bit more in that vein. Thanks for the inspiration. So as a compliment, will give you a "bump" or two on these ...... Rennie<BR>

Blessed23:  Glad you liked the piece!  Rennie, I did eharmony once, and you wouldn't believe the FREAKS they sent me as my matches!  Apparently, the male version of me is just, well, um, trying to be nice here, undate-able to say the least.  Coupla toothless guys, if I remember right.  I was a bit horrified and cancelled my membership immediately.  I think the opposite of me is more appropriate.  And, to let you all know a fun little secret...my new husband is 15 years my junior and we are having a blast!  Note the slowing of my writing.  I'm busy (wink wink).  Cheers!  Rennie, hang in there.  Time is on your side, believe me.

hairdiva~then you sure wouldn't want to go on a sailor dating site. All the peg legs and parrot poop would get to ya. I've been sent doctors, professors and such so far. Haven't decided to answer any of these due to the stock answers at this point. Interesting, to say the least, and a bit of fun in realizing I joke, but am understanding of the bravado of some of the guys who are nervous as they can be to put themselves "out there" once again in life. Yes, my mom married someone my age at one time. They were a great match for years, but things change and they moved on. It was the companionship that worked for them, which was also a great friendship that still abides. I'm enjoying the replies so far, but am realistic in what motivates me to even try a friendship with anyone at this point. eHarmony states they are geared for marriages. There's an issue with real Truth In Advertising. Yes, they are free to sign-up, but everything else comes with a fairly hefty price tag. The idea of a matchmaker online is great, but it's still up to each person to be wise about themselves. That's great, but friendship should come first, along with some chemistry and passion soon. Also, many men today aren't totally wired for a woman who supports herself as so many gals have to do now. There has to be some need in there somewhere to become a couple. Oh, and I don't post photos. I know what a good photog and an airbrush can do. I also don't pay to look at them as I know how just one bad grin or bad hair day can make a snap decision to turn a good potential partner down. I joke, but I'm okay with myself first and foremost. I'm human, so lots of ups and downs...just not too far up or too hard down. Congrats again, on finding such happiness with your new husband! ...... Rennie
