HippieChick58 comments on Aug 13, 2023:

I will never marry again. Shack up maybe, but as I don't know how to meet eligible males I don't see that happening.

HippieChick58 comments on Aug 13, 2023:

Nope, I still feel the same as I did before. I'm not looking, but if someone who fits into my life should show up I'd be willing to entertain the idea. I don't think that person exists, and I'm not holding my breath. I'm still not changing anything I do to try to find someone.

HippieChick58 comments on Aug 9, 2023:

Yep, I had some concerns that I might have to close, but no, Donnie boy just won't stop making headlines. If I didn't hate him so much I'd be grateful to him for his longevity. In the long run I'd be more at peace if he did shuffle off into oblivion, but what can 'ya do.
