Welcome to my Blog!

This blog is my way of recording events in my life for my own amusement & as a journal of sorts. I really don't expect anyone else to follow this. I am all for DOING, not watching or reading about adventures! However if anything I have done or am talking about doing on here inspires you to "GO FOR IT", then I've done my good deed of the day.


Beginning a new chapter of my life, flying solo after many years of married life, in a new area of my native state, Missouri (MO) & reestablishing a very simple, basic lifestyle on a spot of raw land.


If you've made it this far.....thanks for being interested in what I'm doing & coming along for the ride. I hope you enjoy my stories about my whaz going on in my life. Let our journey begin! Shift colors.

My "research project"/day 1

So this morning I wake up at 0426 to my dog raising hell, barking at something in the woods. Not my fav way to start the day. Needless to say, I was not able to return to sleep.

So then I get on the interweb, with 1st cup of joe in hand. Somehow I impulsively enroll in an online dating site. (have no idea where that came from...)

So I'm hangin with one of my fav Gal Pals today & mention this morning's insanity. WTF was I thinkin'?! She suggests I treat this as a "research project." I can do that.

So I get online tonight to see how my 'trolling' went after advertising my "profile" online about 12 hrs. Here are my stats:

INBOX
Messages (9)
Who Viewed Me? (41)
Who Fave'd Me? (1)
Who Flirted With Me? (1)
Who Likes My Photos? (2)
TODAY'S MATCHES
Today's Matches (5)

So I'm thinkin ok, now what do I do? Do I have to write every one of these guys back? That's 9 emails. I don't get 9 emails a day from people I know! This is already requiring effort! Thank God every one that viewed my profile DIDN'T email me! What if half the 41 did?! Yee Gads! That'd be about 20 emails! On the other hand, I guess I'd be bummed if NO ONE 'pinged' me.

Anyway, I diligently replied to the 9 frickin emails & sent them into cyberspace. One guy replied back shortly thereafter. Guy who lost part of a leg in a motorcycle accident. And whaz this "today's matches"? You are supposed to view randomly site selected profiles & let the site know if YES you would date this person or NO you would not or MAYBE. WTF is that supposed to accomplish?

Anyway I logged out shortly thereafter. Was enough excitement for one day. Not sure I'm cut out for this......
