    " Old age starts when you ....................... ", subject for new thread ?

    I wish I could do a road trip and meet all you good folks of JWN on the way, and share a beer, ah, maybe one day.

    old age starts when you can't remember why you went into the kitchen, until you back-track your steps to the living room. Then you suddenly remember and head back to the kitchen, but can't remember by the time you get there.

    The eHarmony guy is super creepy. I get a lot of exercise because of my little senior moments. My larger pantry is in my basement and I can't tell you how many times I go boppin down there to get something, forget what I went down for, then immediately remember it when I go back upstairs. So...another trip down and back up the stairs.

    This is why I gave up the idea of ever having a relationship (or even dating); I can't abide "spiritual" conversation, and

    I can't pretend to go along.

    The only people who can begin to understand how I tick are EX-JW's, (or former cult members).

    Superstitious people, Astrology buffs, food faddists, sports junkies--i.e. any kind of fanatics make life impossible (for me).

    ____________

    To be truly KNOWN and to truly know is the only reason for a relationship in my estimation.

    Idol chat, small talk, jawboning, etc. eventually falls away and you are left with the essential character and intellect of a person.

    When I was going through my post-JW identity crisis I once attended a Unitarian Church and soon discovered it was like Seinfeld, "about nothing."

    I don't like going to meetings. I don't like sitting quietly while somebody tells me things I can find out for myself.

    You can see how quickly it would appear I'm a curmudgeon.

    BUT, I'M NOT. I'm funloving, interesting, witty and great company. However . . . I guess I'm really a tough nut to crack.

    Hortensia, I would suggest you go on PLENTY OF FISH (a free site) and lay it all out PRECISELY the way you are and the way you feel.

    Serial date about a dozen people whom you have quickly culled by the vibes you get from--not phone calls or text messages--from one on one

    meetings to determine your chemistry.

    It is 99% chemistry, sigh and alas!
