AnneWimsey comments on May 2, 2019:

Well, how nice for you...my big questions at 19 were, will my husband d beat me & our child to death today, or perhaps wonder if I will be able to redeem the furniture (all of it) from the pawnshop he the got money to drink more from. In my second marriage, it was, which strange woman will call the house today demanding to speak to him, or perhaps, at age 38, what will my life look like after this brain-stem stroke? I seem to have learned sufficient to now live a full & wonderful life, with friends, sufficient $$, and enough health to enjoy it. But thanks for pointing out I did it all wrong......

Sometime late yesterday a question was posed to me regarding a group I'm the owner of.

2 Weeks on "Plenty Of Fish"

AnneWimsey comments on Apr 29, 2019:

I have been on & off POF for almost 10 years, have had some fun meets, some very weird meets, and one long-term (almost 3 years) Penpal out of it. I have also been on other sites, a few paid. I find POF incredibly easy to use, the filters work well...distance, age especally so. I decline all offers to pay for "more service". It seems, just like on this site, that the number of scammers is way up, sadly. Insisting on direct answers to direct questions is the best method to weed them out...for example, "did you have a favorite pet as a child?"...what real person wouldn't love to babble away about their gerbil, dog, fish? But a scammer will reply, "oh my dear I am so thrilled we have similar experiences"

Death arrangement

AnneWimsey comments on Apr 29, 2019:

Any funeral home will help you with a completely non-religious "memorial service" and/or funeral. They merely provide the space.....they also will just do a quiet cremation with nothing else if you wish. If you do decide to have some form of service you will need to look hard for is someone who can "DJ" the event, unless you want to do it yourself, that will leave religion out of it.

Despite being atheist, im pretty sure I 100% believe in Tarot cards.

Takes a while to figure the dose that works without making you sleep all the time. I found 2 pills a day for maintainence, 3-4 if having a flare-up (and do not "wait & see"!!!), after about 6 years I weaned off it. Epileptics can take up to 11 pills a day, so pretty safe stuff. Best wishes to you!
