Currently unemployed, can't stand day time television and done with housework sat down to do a search of message boards for women, most are for mothers but I wasn't interested in a "parenting" forum.  Yes my daughter does live with me but she is 23 years old now and I really don't "parent" her any longer.  She works and goes to school and pretty much has her own life as I do. 
Anyway when this came up on my google I decided to take a look, liked what I saw and decided to register. 

I googled "Womens Message Board" ... and here I am! 

I find through the Google search result.

I was serfing the net looking for a place where I could be in the company of intelligent people.  This site caught my eye so I joined. 

Through a google search of good women forums.  They were right I think;-)

I am so sorry for your loss.

I found this by happenstance, and am so glad I did....I am turning 50 next year and this year is a year of sweeping changes for me....I am separated and most likely will be divorced by the time I am 50...I would like to start out that decade fresh and ready for whatever comes my way....

I work about 13 different jobs, though most are all in sales, so my life is up and down with finances because of the commission structure...to keep life a bit sane, I do work some regular retail.  In fact I am just finishing a project now managing a couple of jewelry kiosks at Six Flags....

With the separation and pending divorce, a lot of friends either weren't comfortable or at a loss for words and then couple that with being in outside sales and you realize that you don't run into lots of areas that you can potential new friends...even people at church have been aloof...hence a new church, a clean slate and an excitement of starting a new decade. I should say my husband is a decent man, he simply doesn't know how to be in a give and take relationship....he will make the best brother I never had....

I have one son who is in the army, stationed in Kansas...(he asked for Korea, they sent him to Kansas, I told him "well at least it started with a "K", and that I would rather you be in Kansas anyday).....I love life, am passionate about most things and am always thinking outside of the box when it comes to work and life and adventures...(well within reason) I love to read, love to drive, love, love, love coffee....(used to, for a number of years own my own very bohemian coffeehouse) and I am so glad to have a community of women....I am looking forward to meeting lots of new and wonderful friends to add to the adventure of my life....
