  • 0445 9-6 New Orleans, LA -- SEEKING TRAVEL COMPANION = I am a young attitude, polite, considerate 62 year old male, divorced, and conservative. I have 2 children, a professional attitude,straight as and arrow. and am laid back easy going budget traveler.. My hobbies and interest are, investing, gardening, reading, wood construction, travel, sight seeing, discussion, computers, and real-estate. I also am witty and like to joke around. I don't have any pets, and am not fond of sports or status seekers. I have owned my own ranch type home for 25 years, I drink conservatively at social gatherings only, but can do without. I am non- denominational, not a smoker and *** PREFER *** a non - smoker. I am seeking a travel companion because it's much cheaper, and much safer.. Why just to have someone to share my travel experience with is wonderful. When I travel I try not to be identified as a tourist. In this day and age you're much better off doing it this way. I wear jeans or nice worn clothes, maybe have a camera that will fit in my pocket. My bibles are the Lonely Planet type travel guidebooks. I try to eat in local family restaurants, and ride the local trains, subways, and buses, or walk. If I've had a rough exciting long day, then it's the taxis. I am not and exercise enthusiast, I only walk when I want to go somewhere or sight see. I will buy local tours at times. If my companion wishes to go see something that I am not at all interested in , it's OK - even if they pursue their own interest alone for hours, or even days. Oh yes, I snore, try to take my shower in early evening, love to have a companion to have early breakfast with, and talk about the day ahead of us. Also, at night, when I notice my companion is ready to sleep, I stop reading, and I turn off the bed light and tell them good night, see you in the morning. Joe broutek@worldnet.att.net

I have had published 11 children's books, I am acting in mainting a support group for people suffering from Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) in my area, I love traveling though can't afford to do it as much as I did when my daughter worked for an airline!! Used to love camping and hiking and walking the beach of Oregon (lived there 35 years ago) but a few creaky bones makes it a little harder to do. Getting down into a sleeping bag in a tent isn't my idea of fun anymore. I got this computer for my birthday in June, and have almost gone crazy learning to use it, but I'm beginning to get the hang of it, after AOL crashed on me twice. It's a challenge, and it's highly addictive--that much I've learned. Would love to hear from someone--your age or sex or where you live doesn't make any difference. I'm not looking for romance! (I have a loving husband that I'm sorta used to :-) (that is a smile I just learned.) I'm just looking for friendship, an exchange of ideas, and a broadening of my world instead of just my derriere!

  • 0370 8-10 Sacramento, CA I would like to e-mail with other graphic designers or people interested in graphics. I am 69 and still freelancing. My wife and I have been married 49 years and we both enjoy arts & crafts of all kinds. We collect chinahead dolls and we hook rugs. We published a hardbound book on china dolls back in 1983.

I will try and do better on my update in the near future. My web site address is: www.ns.net/users/kborger/ E-mail Ken and Mona Borger kborger@ns.net Hope to hear from some of you.

  • 0366 8-9 San Diego, CA -- I am originally from England, however, I have been the States for 27 years, and LOVE IT! I am also NanaDu, to my two grandchildren, from my 32 yr old daughter. I work with Developmentally Challenged Adults, and their ABILITIES are quite incredible and inspirational, in observing their determination and desire. Due to my minimum one year commitment in this field, I do not get out much. My schedule is often times unpredictable, making it difficult to keep outside appointments. So a PEN PAL - preferably Male. Age & activity not as important as honesty and credibility. Prior to this involvement, I have owned several businesses, and dabbled in Real Estate. Of the many things I have been successful in, Marriage has not proven to be one of them. Sadly, I must admit. As having a soul mate was always my dream and disire. Ho well, Never too late!! I love all kinds music and most musical instruments Not affiliated with any organized religion, however, I do follow Spiritual Concepts. Sober since 1980. Love a good joke, some blue ok. (Not of the kinky persuasion) Apt to break out in verse, can't sing a note (but try anyway). Love to watch animals, birds, fish, etc. Law fascinates me, as does the volumes of information available on the internet. Due to light sensitivity, night driving has become difficult, and therefore the Internet is my ACCESS to the outside world!!!! So drop me a line. Take Care. Limey British848@aol.com

Like dancing and go for country drives. It is important for me to look good, dress well and take care of myself. I live in my own home and take pride in a well decorated home and a beautiful yard. I also worked for many years in dentistry, some years in conjunction with my research. For those who live too far away a penpal friendship would be great. I have many interests and am especially interested in finding out about a Elderhostel Group. I love traveling the U.S., Eu! rope, the Scandinavian countries and elsewhere. Look forward to hear from you! I'm a female and a widow. Chris E-Mail: cvano@fia.net

  • 0356 8-8 -- WARNING -- To all of you ladies out there looking for male pen pals. Beware of a guy from Arizona who is looking for a lady, to love him. He really wants lots of ladies and is not honest about what he tells you. Lots of darlin's and love ya's. But of course that is only the tip of the iceberg. There are several of us, at least, who found him out through a email mix-up. Some of us were already pen pals. He has had his email address changed as a result, but from my investigation I have found he has had many email addresses and perhaps still does. Betty betty@pacbell.net

  • 0350 8-5 Schertz, TX - St. Gertrude's Academy (Ridgely, MD); Would like to hear from anyone who attended between Sept 1937 & June 1945.

I grew up in Maryland (nee Lois Bradbury) married a serviceman, travelled, settled in Texas after being widowed (many years ago), earned 2 degrees, worked for the Public schools, and retired two years ago. I have 4 children, 3 grand-children, two cats & two box-turtles (low-maintenance). I do a bit of travelling, reading, x-c skiing, biking & hiking; also some gardening/yard work. I usually keep the bird-feeders filled so the little fellows can entertain me while I have my morning coffee. I'm a bit of a news hound and a terrible procrastinator; currently wall-papering my kitchen & saving some half-finished projects for a day when I need something to do. Life is good. Would enjoy hearing from most people (even if they didn't attend SGA). E-mail Lois lneuville@express-news.net

  • 0329 7-31 Houston, TX -- Before we reached our fifties.. we frequently complained - to ourselves and to everybody else - that we never had had enough time to do all the significant things in our lives, for us and for all we loved. Now that we have gone past our fifties and are moving on to our sixties, seventies and further up... we are eventually becoming disconnected and jettisoned into the dreadful realm of oblivion where solitude, seclusion, inactivity, aging illness and disgrace rule our lives. Are we being coldly discarded by the the society that we were born into, grew up in it, struggled in it and at times risked our lives and sacrificed our personal happiness and well being in raising it, nurturing it, defending it and making it strong and prosperous?

    Let's not demand our dear society to change its attitude towards us, even though we do possess our legitimate claims to it, since there are readily available ways for us to take the initiative ourselves in a massive effort aiming at reconnecting ourselves to our own world with our own hands our own means and our unshakable determination to change the destiny of our generation and that of those younger generations moving up the common path of time. Give these lines some thoughts, and whenever you realize where you are exactly at this very point of your life, open your e-mail editor and simply write "reconnect me to society" and send to me : Le Thoi tutorial@webcom.com

  • 0323 Michigan -- Hello out there!! Let me introduce myself, my name is Irma, I live in Dearborn Hgts, Michigan near Detroit, the Motor City. I'm 65 and planning to retire soon so I was interested in the nightly news on NBC where Tom Brokow had Lee Iocacco on regarding retirement. Quoting L.I. "Retirement is boring!" It that how you feel??? I'd like to hear your opinions. My opinion is that even thou he probably does many good things like supporting the Diabetes Association. I get the feeling it is in name only. I wonder if he has ever gone out to pass out pamphlets at there sponsored programs, etc. Retirement Boring!! I am offended by that statement. Has he tried to something new? Learn about something he did not know before or roll up his sleeves and serve at a soup kitchen or get involved with children that needed help reading or helped the handicapped or helped senior citizens. That's right, Mr. I.; money is not everything, and I'm sure you have your charties that you contribute to, but just once in a while roll up you sleeves and help someone and learn something new - the world needs people that are go getters like you to channel efforts in new directions. I did not mean to get up on a soapbox - but I'm looking forward to retirement and do some of the things that I could only read about before I was widowed or had the extra time to explore. Thanks for listening and let me hear from all of you. E-mail Irma J. Swantner turtling@dhol.com

  • 0315 7-27 Old Age -- Some of my thoughts on ageing. First off--it's something that's going to happen to all of us if we don't die young. Having that sage statement out of the way I do have some observations about it. I will be 80 in November. I don't know whether I feel young or old as I don't know how I should feel at 80. I like to think that I matured fairly well and I truly don't mind being almmost 80. I am very fortunate that my health is very good and i am very grateful for that. We bought a computer a few years ago and it has changed my life. I fell in love with it and still spend several houurs a day playing with it. I like going into chats and telling how old I am. Everyone is usually surprised and of course it's an ego trip for me but I see nothing wrong with that.

    To peple who are getting old but still younger than I am I have a little advice to offer. Don't worry about your age. Do everything possible to keep healthy. Spend very little time feeling sorry for yourself no matter what the circumstance. It will only aggravate a bad situation. Find hobbies. Doesn't much matter what just something you are interested in. Try to be an optimist--remember the old bromide--when life hands you a lemon make lemonade!

    Take things one day at a time. I truly enjoy my life. I realise a that you give up some things and gain others as you grow old.

    Now my main and probably only regret is this--that I won't be around for too many more years and that does sadden me a little. Technology is changing so fast and things are happening that we didn't dream about even ten years ago and I won't be here to see them develop! But I can still see and be amazed at what's here now. Well this is enough preaching for this old lady. I love Email and if anyone would like to write me, Iris Ashley, the address is irisa@flash.net

    I am a native from Missouri. Graduated in 1959. I am 56 years old, remarried my same husband in 1985 (first time in 1960). We have four children, and 3 grandsons. I am a Staff Secretary at the University of NE at Kearney Student Health Services and just love the variety. I always wanted to be a nurse - so this will keep me close to the health-related areas. I admire nurses and doctors.

    I love to watch the birds and see the stars at night. Just an ol' pokie. I like to take pictures, would love to travel (to see anything!). Love music. Would love to hear from you, especially those of you with similar interests. People have told me I have "the gift of writing", so maybe I've found my niche. Please E-Mail me, Ruth Ann Behlmann (Meyer) at anniebell@usa.net Take Care!

  • 0231 7-6 Houston, TX - Before we reached our fifties.. we frequently complained - to ourselves and to everybody else - that we never had had enough time to do all the significant things in our lives, for us and for all we loved. Now that we have gone past our fifties and are moving on to our sixties, seventies and further up... we are eventually becoming disconnected and jettisoned into the dreadful realm of oblivion where solitude, seclusion, inactivity, aging illness and disgrace rule our lives. Are we being coldly discarded by the the society that we were born into, grew up in it,struggled in it and at times risked our lives and sacrificed our personal happiness and well being in raising it, nurturing it, defending it and making it strong and prosperous?

    Let's not demand our dear society to change its attitude towards us, even though we do possess our legitimate claims to it, since there are readily available ways for us to take the initiative ourselves in a massive effort aiming at reconnecting ourselves to our own world with our own hands our own means and our unshakable determination to change the destiny of our generation and that of those younger generations moving up the common path of time. Give these lines some thoughts, and whenever you realize where you are exactly at this very point of your life, open your e-mail editor and simply write "reconnect me to society" and send to me : Le Thoi tutorial@webcom.com

  • 0221 New Orleans, LA - SEEKING BUDGET TRAVEL BUDDY - Hello everyone- I live in the NEW ORLEANS AREA, am a young attitude 62 year old male, divorced 20 years, conservative, have 2 children, and straight as and arrow. I have a professional attitude, and am a laid back easy going budget traveller. My hobbies and interest are, investing, gardening, reading, wood construction, travel, sight seeing, discussion, computers, and real estate. I also am witty and like to joke around. I do not have pets, and am not fond of sports.. I have owned my own ranch type home for 25 years, I drink conservatively at social gatherings only, but can do without - am non- denominational. I am not a smoker and ** PREFER ** a companion who doesn't smoke.

    The reasons I am seeking a travel companion is that it’s much cheaper, much safer, and not as lonely when traveling. Just to have someone to share my travel experience with, is wonderful. I am primarily seeking a male travel companion because I personally can relax more in my travels. I tend to be overly concerned when I am with a female. Also, I can usually find female companionship at my destination if I so choose. When I travel, rather then choose a place ahead of time, I think about the places I would like to travel to in this world. I then wait for bargains on any one of the places, (tour, airfare, hotels, etc.), then I buy. I am rather knowledgeable about travel and travel bargains.

    I am not particularly fond of cruises, but if it's a great outstanding bargain, I might go, but I don't get that feeling of anticipation - if you know what I mean. I have been on four. For one thing dancing is OK, but I don't go out of my way to do it. I can do all the dancing, partying, and relaxation I want right here in New Orleans. When I travel I try not to be identified as a tourist. In this day and age you’re much better off doing it this way. I wear jeans or nice worn clothes, maybe have a camera that will fit in my pocket. My bibles are the Lonely Planet type travel guidebooks.

    I try to eat in local family restaurants, and ride the local trains, subways, and buses, or walk. If I’ve had a rough exciting long day, then it’s the taxes. I am not & exercise enthusiast. I will buy local tours at times. If my companion wishes to go see something that I am not at all interested in , it’s OK if he pursues his own interest alone for hours, or even days. I read once that, the way to guarantee a lousy vacation is to pick the wrong travel partner. I do pray that in this description of myself as a traveller - that you don’t get the idea that I am inflexible. Everything that I have mentioned is negotiable. I only want to let you know something about myself, so that it would help both of us to have a great trip..

    Oh yes, I snore, try to take my shower in early night, love to have a companion to have early breakfast with, and when I notice my companion is ready to sleep, I stop reading, and I turn off the bed light. Please e-mail me and let’s talk about travel. Sincerely. E-mail Joseph broutek@worldnet.att.net
