Hello
I’m new to this site. Just looking for some conversations. I’ve been on my own for around eight years. My wife died nine months after I retired, so we didn’t get to enjoy much of my retirement. I enjoy camping and the outdoors. I had to slow down on fly fishing, was afraid I’d fall in the river. Ha.. I wanted to get into Prospecting when I retired but I’m getting a slow start on it. For the last seven months my handicapped sister has bee living with me but I am trying to get her placed in a facility. She is just too much for me now.

Thanks for writing this blog. It’s always great to get some insight from newbies. After spending some time on the site we do mostly get to know one another reasonably well but with new starters it can take a while before everyone feels more at ease, but as they say a stranger is just a friend you haven’t met yet. However some unscrupulous types will also try to take advantage of that and thankfully you’re already setting a few people’s minds at rest with your blog here. From what you have talked about, this could be the ideal place for you to spend some occasional time, conversing and interacting amongst others in our friendly online community. If you are not sure if anything, please ask. I hope you enjoy looking around and taking part.
Hi @Bubbaray Great introduction. We need to know more about each other. I misread your photo assuming your wife was still with you. I apologise if my comment was painful. So sorry you lost your wife so early in retirement. Life can be so unfair. I hope you enjoy the site. It does take a while to get to know a few like minded people but it can be great fun and really good company.
HI!! Welcome to the site…..It is a little slow getting started but once you find your “people” it is nice. Always someone to talk too is nice. 🙂
@Bubbaray Welcome to the site, anytime you need help navigating dont hesitate to send me a pm and ask, or just ask on activity page and sometimes other members will help. So sorry about your wife. Very hard to get used to being, one, when there was always two for so long.
@Bubbaray , hello and welcome from me as well. Reaching out is a very difficult thing these days, (or I was simply too preoccupied with other things). But I have found a certain relaxing and inclusive place here to take the sting out of a vacuum. Contributing here with your intro blog is a great start. What fills your day when you’re not falling into the river?! Probably a lot of time with your sister I would guess as well. Me? I’m trying to keep my head out of a divorce not of my wanting for a start.
