I do have a dog and am so thankful. She is a wonderful companion. Ladies, thanks for the suggestions.

I live alone and a widow. My son and grandkids are in and out. I need an outlet to find new friends and enjoy myself. I am so lonely.

Put yourself out there - either get a job or volunteer. a great way to meet people. I'm a retired nurse and I volunteer at the hospital where I help in the kitchen getting trays set up then passed out. if anyone needs fed the nurses tell me and I feed them. I have made some great friends there. this is a small town - I run into patients i have delivered trays to all the time - they remember me and come over to say hello and chat. I also volunteer at my church's food bank, and have made a couple good friends there.

I crochet, read, walk, garden, volunteer at the spay/neuter clinic, day trips, kayak, off road in my side by side, ride my horse, yard sale, go to Farmer's markets. Everything I couldn't do much of before I retired. I am so busy I literally fall into bed at night.

I do a lot of volunteer work (with a senior citizen group called OLLI and at my local library). I also am part of two music groups and several book clubs. I love living alone!

I love living alone too (well, I do have 4 dogs). No one to take care of or clean up after. I have a fella that takes me to dinner, we go fishing, kayaking etc. He does odd jobs I have around the house & yard. I was married for 38 years & not looking for a long term commitment, just companionship. Tomorrow my daughter & I leave for California for a family wedding.
