Anniversary Day!

Hard to believe that it's been a year already since my third colonoscopy. But read on, this post isn't about my back door. Today is also the anniversary of my first in-person meeting with Donna. We went for Chinese food this day last year, but since I needed a reliable person to hold my wallet and cell phone while I was unconscious for the procedure, we stopped by the hospital first.

The staff thought it was rather romantic, and just imagine... Not only did I let her hold my cell, but she had possession of my wallet too! I even told her she could look in it and take out a buck or two for the vending machines! I think she ended up drinking water from the water-cooler (my kind of girl), although I never did check to see if any cash had been spent (I probably didn't know how much was there to begin with anyway).

We had "met" on 6 September of the previous year. I was a Yahoo Personals cheat at the time, but Donna followed the clue in my profile and figured out how to contact me. She had recently returned to college on-line, and reading her emails was enjoyable! Full sentences formed into paragraphs and a few of those in each message. But after six months of emailing, it was time to meet in person.

If you haven't had the dubious pleasure of trying on-line dating, let me tell you first hand that it can be challenging. Men get messages from all sorts of women (even when we specify who we're interested in) from all sorts of countries looking for entry into the United States. "I'll love you and take care of your every need". Sheesh! Women get one-line emails from men asking about their sexual interests. It's the new and improved way to meet, since the pool of prospects is much larger, but it's quite different from boy meets girl on campus.

We were thinking about going to the Chinese joint this evening for dinner, but Donna still has a cold, so I'll probably make peanut noodles, pork chops and some sort of vegetable, and we'll just stay home. We do a lot of that... just staying home, but it's Ok. I like peace and quiet in my old age!


Love you Sweetie.....

yeah, I have heard that a lot... I love love loved first dates. I got to meet new people, watch them try to shine, watch them pay (usually - and always after I offer my half), then decide on whether they were worthy... maybe it's a girl thing!

I've never forgotten about your first date at the colonoscopy place. I am so happy that things have worked out so well for the two of you.

Yes, that is different! I haven't a clue about online dating; I will take your word for it. Congratulations to you and Donna, and give her my best wishes for a speedy recovery from her cold.

I loved online dating... I really did.
Whenever I felt like I wanted to go out, I'd start talkin to some boys from there and go out on first date after first date after first date! Loved it!!!
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!
