Oh, Pat, that was humorous, but it kind of surprised me. don't look at the dating sights, or if you do, be sure you know the man really good. I had two disastrous marriages with men from the internet. It can work, because I know of a woman who has a great guy she met on the internet. Just saying!! :>D Miss Sally

Thanks miss Sally for the review. This was something I thought about 12 years ago when I was looking, but now I am extremely happy to be living alone. I don't need a man to complicate my life. So just don't look anymore. :-)

Me neither. I am happy the way things are!! Miss sally

Good job with this short humorous piece. The sandwich board sign in front of the hardware store, that is great. Part of your story reminds me of what my uncle told me when I was younger. He said, "boy when I got here, the first place I went to was church, so I could meet women." By the way I met my wife at church, we have been married for 34 years.

Thanks for the nice review. Good for you that you found your wife in church and you have had a long marriage.

Hah! Now thats a very unique approach. Not sure that your message conveys the right message, but desperation yields to invention. Have you tried the site Christian Mingle?

Thanks for the review. This is really just a tongue in cheek post about looking for a man. I am extremely happy in life and don't need a man. It is really something I came up with about 12 years ago when I was considering finding a mate and thought it kinda funny, So thought I would give the joke a whirl in the form of a poem.

Hmmmmm I think you might find a handy man or a mechanic that way before you found someone to date...turn it into a sandwich board and fix them food at the hardware store and you'd come closer to finding a guy
lol
God bless

Thanks for the review. This was intended to be humor. I am not seriously looking for a man. I have lived by myself for so long I doubt any man could stand me anyway.

Thanks for the kind review. This is not my usual fare, but once in a while I need to do something just a little funny as I have a keen sense of humor, although my humor is rather dry.
Comment from MelB
Haha. This was funny! I could imagine the sandwich board. This is a nice change-up from your other posts, which are good too, just a little more serious.

Thanks for the review. Sometimes I just have to do a little something off the wall to keep my balance. God said, laughter is like good medicine. I was just give you a dose of medicine.

Love it! Keep it coming:)
Comment from boxergirl
Ha! Ha! That is so hilarious, Patricia and I must say, a little surprising because most of your post are more serious or informational. Loved it and thanks for sharing this. Too cute and good luck with your search! 8-)

Thanks for the review. I am glad you enjoyed it. No more searching as I have decided I like living alone and fon't have to yield to the demands of a husband. I know people probably were a little shocked to see this from me. But, I have to just do a little nonsense ever so often to keep my balance.

Good for you!
Comment from livelylinda
Patricia: brilliant! I laughed and laughed and am still chuckling, grinning from ear to ear. I would walk around Home Depot or Lowe's with that sign and I bet it would work. Some years back, I attempted to find a mate using the internet dating sites. No one wanted a long term relationship. I met up with one of them. We met in what seemed a strange place and he was always looking around watching all the cars, etc. Of course, he was married and a pathological liar. Another seemed to think that the dating site was a call-girl connection and wanted me to bring a friend so we could "play" on his boat . . . One wrote about his alcohol consumption and how much beer he kept at his house. When I questioned how much beer he consumed every day, he wrote back angrily that he didn't need a mother telling him what to do . . . an alcoholic and bound to stay that way. I met a Jewish man who stated that he was divorced and his grown daughters had encouraged him to get on the dating site. He canceled the first weekend we were suppose to meet, claiming a relative had died, etc. But, suggested we meet two weeks later . . . at his place. I drove the two hours south to his place. He met me in the parking lot, looking like he just got out of bed. He looked liked a slob; messed up hair, barefooted and a t-shirt and funky old shorts. Later, we went to the grocery store to buy food for our little cook-out dinner. I chose the food and he did not offer to financially contribute anything for this food he and I would both be eating. After we had our dinner, he showered for the first time that day, dressed nicely and explained that he had to attend a friend's son's barmitsvah (spelling), which was an hour south of where we were. He then immediately left. This is about 6 p.m. He did not invite me to attend with him which I thought was really strange. He returned about 2 a.m. explaining that when he arrived, all were told to get on a bus and they were driven to another town to a concert which was part of the son's gift at his barmitsvah. I just nodded. The next morning I left early and in a hurry. It was apparent this guy was married and another creep/pathological liar. I have since vowed to live alone and stay far away from all those emotional upheavals. Alone is good and we are never truly alone because God watches over us and our guardian angels are always close by. I am currently writing a poem about the quiet in my life. Take it easy. Learn to entertain yourself and enjoy the freedom.
Sorry this is so long . . . Linda

Thanks Linda for the nice review and your stories. I recently had a guy contact me and we e-mailed back and forth until the last e-mail I sent him an asked if he had a problem with me being a born again Baptist and my order of priorities were this, God, my family, and then a man. Never heard back from him.
The men for the most part reviewing this do not get the humor in this write.

Men don't get a lot of things but, sometimes the women don't either. Linda

Hi Patricia,
I got a good giggle from reading your story. It sure is cute. I haven't had a mate for about 30 years. I was married several times to husbands that would run me down and cheat on me. So, these last years have been just want I want and need. LOL
