Lisa, I like you am alone and in a town where I don't know many people. I live alone and would love company beside my sister or my kids to talk to. I go outside and work in my yard os wax my car to death to keep my mind working and give myself something to keep busy and not think much. I like Eric was very active where I lived and was dumb enough to leave my wife . I am still popular in the city I grew up in and always a ladys man which was probably my downfall. I can feel your lonely pangs and have them too. My mistake was letting other body parts do my thinking for my brain. LOL. NOw when I visit my kids or ex, if they have something that needs repaired , I bring it home and do it for them. I just wire brushed and repainted my ex's outside portion of central air. I took it to her and put it back together last nite between the storms we had. Hey, do you need a handyman? LOL.. keeping busy is my salvation. Good luck and I hope you become happier as the days go on. I will live to be 100 one way or another. Keep smiling and make people wonder..
