I joined when....it was a dark and stormy night... I have long said I would start a book or story like Snoopy always did..."it was a dark and stormy night". My gal friend had come to visit me and bugged me to join one of the chat sites. I told her no way...she kept it up and went on a site, which I have forgotten which one and signed me up! Bless her black heart  One day Friend Finder came on, I joined that because chatting had gotten fun. Later SFF came on, it made more sense because of the age group. I chatted a lot. I used to chat with you. I kept seeing Blogs and wondered what that was. I asked my grandson. He told me people write their thoughts. I started reading them, eventually I started commenting. I never felt I had anything to blog about, although Airforceone used to try to get me to blog. Do you remember him? Where I lived in Indiana, we had a tornado or most likely straight line winds, tore up the neighborhoods to the west of us, just pick and choose as they do. It demolished a church a couple of blocks away. (no one was in it at the time). The next week we had a terrible thunderstorm with flooding. The Fellowship Hall of the destroyed church was a block away and was badly damaged. No one was in it at the time. I finally had something to write about and called the blog, One Block. Now I had my feet wet so occasionally I would write a blog. One day I saw a comment Hawkslayer (Alfie) had written on a blog. I commented to his comment. He commented back.....and so it began. We exchanged SFF e-mails, I sent him my phone number. The rest is history. I moved from Indiana in 2007 to be with him here in Georgia. It has turned out to be a wonderful move! We have gone to Bashes and Get Togethers and met a lot of people, many more than once or twice. Now, why did you join? Everyone has a story.....

I joined back in 2003 or 2004 when I had taken a job transfer from Denver to Atlanta. Since the south is so rich in history I wanted to meet some local groups for activities. I met my late husband Chato aka Mac in the chatroom and after communicating for close to a year I flew to Arizona to meet him. I moved to Phoenix in January 2006. I lost Chato in August of 2011 to lung cancer. I still enjoy coming to talk to my chat friends. Many I have met in person. I ignore the drama and just try to take the good and avoid the bad.

The first time in 2006 to date. I had been a widow for 2 years, it was time to move on and I know I had to reach out of my comfort zone if I hoped to meet anyone. I did and left a few moths later when one of those dates became and exclusive relationship. That lasted almost 3 years. I rejoined around the end of 09 for the same reasons and started bogging to improve my writing skills and to increase my visibility. I stay for the interaction with people I met here, have gotten to know and enjoy. Most of the new and current stuff going on is annoying but sifting through it is the price that must be paid for the good stuff. As for a dating site - there are better ones at present. Sad becasue when I joined this was one of the best. Spiritwoman ^i^

Wow! Did you get to ride in a space ship? I went back and read your other blog. I sort of remembered as I was clicking on send, what you had written. Too late but glad you got to experience an alien abduction!

Hi Doug: I hope you give SFF another chance and stick around this time. I'm not sure when I joined, but it was over five years ago. I had been divorced for a couple of years and trying to recover from some health problems, so I hoped to meet someone from my city to go for coffee or out to dinner. The first message I received was from a man whose pic showed him to be an attractive doctor sitting behind his desk with a stethoscope around his neck and all his degrees on the wall. He raved on and on about how beautiful I was and I thought I may have hit the jackpot. Of course he and almost every man who has ever written to me has been a scammer. Either that or they live in another country, are married and have disgusting explicit usernames. I gave up on internet dating groups years ago and I've never met anyone in person.

I joined to meet women locally. Haven't had much luck. All the ladies who appeal to me live far away. Having said that, it's been an enjoyable experience.

Five years ago I joined SFF looking for friendship, someone to chat with, because sometimes I felt lonely. I posted recently about this, if you want to read my blog. I've had a pleasant time in here.   Trust in dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.(Khalil Gibran)
