With a deep, bass voice:

 

Hello FReepers!  Beautiful night, isn't it?  Whether you're happy or lonely in your singleness, this thread is for you.  Got pictures or stories?  Share them here!  Come on in -- the water's fine!

 

 

[Goodgirlinred]

I got attached to my patients. However, most of the ones that I lost were older or terminally ill. However, there was no reason that 32 year old woman should have died!! Anyway, I stayed with the ones who were dying until the end. I wish I had just changed hospitals. I loved nursing. I did not love working for 11 years for a property and casualty insurance company. Ugh!

[scott7278]

I don't hate baseball. It just doesn't interest me anymore. My focus is on other things.

I kid, I kid.

When I was in law school, I could go for weeks with just 5 hours of sleep at night or less (and pretty much all my awake time was spent studying or in class). I can't go on that little sleep anymore. I have to have at least 6 hours.

[Goodgirlinred]

I love rock. Not hard rock, though. I hate heavy metal and rap. My favorite group is Train.

Also, I like action movies.

Not your typical granny, huh?

[Goodgirlinred]

Oh, I would never be angry with you.

[scott7278]

I can't go on that little sleep anymore. I have to have at least 6 hours.

I'm the same way. In college, I could do with very little sleep and could pull all-nighters with no problems. Now, I have to struggle to stay up past 11.

You have a law degree? You do know that makes men swoon, don't you?

[TheresaKett]

hi...I dont sleep much and just found this thread. I too am a young widow, and agree, adjusting to not being part of a couple is hard. I also only feel like i can really relate to others who have lost a spouse. Thanks for keeping me company tonight

[Goodgirlinred]

Yep. I don't know how I am going to get up for church in the morning. If I don't show up, I will get a note from my minister.

[tuliptree76]

You have a law degree? You do know that makes men swoon, don't you?

Actually, I've been told that it makes me less desirable.

[Goodgirlinred]

We have beaten you, too! Go Buck-eyes!

[tuliptree76]

If I don't show up, I will get a note from my minister.

No one at my church pays that much attention when I skip.

[tuliptree76]

Welcome to the thread.

[Goodgirlinred]

It counts very much that your patients think that you are cool. I have had few dates because I live in a very small rural community. Everyone says I should date, but no one knows of anyone who is single and not young enough to be my son or old enough to be my father!

[scott7278]

Actually, I've been told that it makes me less desirable.

Less desirable to the wrong type of guy, maybe.

[Goodgirlinred]

How could she not notice you after all of that?? Good grief!

Now get a grip. THEY are more afraid of you than you are of them. Remember that.

[scott7278]

How could she not notice you after all of that?? Good grief!

I was thinking the same thing. A precautionary call to 911 would be in order.

[Goodgirlinred]

You are very welcome. FReep mail me anytime you want to talk. Sometimes it is easier to talk to someone who has been through the same thing as you have. I know that my friends who still are married don't understand how I feel.

[pcottraux]

Oooh, pressure's on. We haven't been there long enough to get ominous notes for absence.

Actually, my favorite music is movie soundtracks. About anything popular, I don't like for some reason or another.

Well...gotta' go. Need to take the dog out before I go to bed. He's giving me that look.

Take care, Goodgirl. See you either tomorrow or next weekend. Or sometime in-between.

[Goodgirlinred]

Well, this is an older interim pastor. He knew my late husband. After my husband died, I quit going to church for a long time. I was really angry.

[tuliptree76]

Good night, pcottraux.
