ginnyde Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 I think some of you know that I have joined an internet dating group and basically all it has added to my life is bigger muscles in my 'delete' finger. Well this past week, a man and I have been emailing each other. Here is the oooh oooh part. My dear Earl died 1 1/2 years ago after surviving for 23 months. This gentleman's wife died 1 1/2 years ago after surviving lc for 23 months. Is this a Rod Serling moment or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindi o'h Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 my heart is already beating fast... Can't wait to turn the next page! love, Cindi o'h (bring him by the pub so we can all meet him for approval...this goes for Ann and ShirleyB and their guys too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginnyde Posted January 6, 2006 Author Share Posted January 6, 2006 Cindi, he is not a 'GUY', we are just emailing. He may be a soprano or be 3' tall and completely covered with hair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.C. Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 or six feet tall with a full head of hair and a tenor Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindi o'h Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 yeah.. how will you know unless you check "him" out? Send him over to the pub (it opened today, again) and we can all poke him with a stick...see if he is worthy. That's what friends are for!

sharyn Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Ginny, So happy you are "out there" and open to new things.... keep us posted.... Love, Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melindasue37 Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Ginny, I think it is pretty neat that you two share that similarity. If nothing else, you could have a new friend that is traveling the same road at the same time. Heck, who knows..... I'm sure you've read that poem called "A Reason, A Season, or a Lifetime." He might just be someone very special sent to you for one of these reasons. In the meantime, we'll get our sticks ready at the pub. I'll try to keep Cindi in line. You KNOW how she gets sometimes.

Geri Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 I like Jackie's description the best, however, we will all join Cindi and poke him with our own sticks - Melinda's right, if nothing else you have a new friend. Good luck, I'm so happy that you are able to travel this new road. Now........go check him out!!! Geri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Ginny....keep an open mind here. Don't even think about looks right now. On the big list...looks are at the bottom. Just think of how absolutely wonderful this man must be to have cared for his wife during her illness. You may be on to sosmething here! All the dates seem to be more than coincidental. This can be the start of a really good friendship between two wonderful people!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Lamb Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Ha Ha,wait till he finds out that when he meets your family at the pub your family consists of over 2500 members and they all want to poke him and ask questions of the nth degree to check him out.

kimmek Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 That is so cool!! THAT has to be sign or something. PLease continue this story..nothing like making your private life, very public!! I am glad to see you happy and ready to "explore" your new life. It just plain does not seem possible that it has been a yr and half since your wonderful Earl passed. You were one of the very first people on here i spoke with and I will always be thankful you, (along with many others) helped me so much on those first days.

Kasey Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Here I come, Ginny! Just so you all know.....I AM close enough to REALLY check this guy out! So, Ginny, when time comes to meet.....even though you have TONS of friends, I think I should be the one to check him for everybody here. So just tell me when - and I am THERE!!!!! I am so happy you are dipping your little toe into the dating scene. That IS all you are dipping, RIGHT ! Ann, when I read you said looks are at the bottom, it took me a minute tp realize you meant the bottom of the list of things that mattered. I thought you meant looks were at the "BOTTOM" - get it? I think I must be sick this AM or something. Anyway, Ginny, we must TALK!!!!! Love, Kasey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gail Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Spooky or special??? Kasey, I think us locals should hang out where they meet. We can assess then and report back. What do you think Ginny? We'll be very quiet gail PS Thanks for the chuckle today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fall54 Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Ginny, Very cool! I agree with Ann that forget about the looks and get to know this man that took care of his wife as you did you're Hubby. I also agree that I just cant fathom it has been a year and 1/2 since you lost you're Earl. I wouldnt dismiss this person Ginny, keep talking and see if there is a reason to actually meet. I too am glad to see you living and considering a new mate in you're future. You deserve it!! I promise I wont poke him with sticks, I think there are enough willing pokers here LMAO!!

LynneH Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Okay, Ginny, seems like the whole family here has hatched the plan for you (as if you needed our help!). Cindi is going to open the door and introduce him, Kase is going to check out his butt, and the rest of us are going to hide Frank in the back while we play pick-up-sticks with the new guy. If we don't like him, we'll let Frank out. Let us know when the time is right! Lynne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Hey Kasey, I'm here in central PA so I can meet up with you before you meet this guy. We can intimidate him together!

J.C. Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Ginny, Frank broke me down, what a family would not do for one of his menber. Hickory sticks are the best. xoxo Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
