I WONDER-ok
I am so dependent on OD. I come here at least twice a day and sometimes more often if I’m home. I have been following some of you for many years. I believe I have been here since 1999 so that’s almost ten years. I feel that I know some of you very well but do I really? How would it be if we met in person. Could we be friends or would be be very different from our online personality? I probably could have met some friends as I was in their city sometimes but I have avoided meeting anyone. For one thing I want to remain as anonymous as possible and the other reason is I don’t know how we would get along. So I avoid everyone. I think that as much as I like my own company I would like some close woman friends to chat with, interact with, and more.
We have no major plans for today. I am planing to get on the treadmill for forty minutes. The doctor warned me that if my "counts" don’t go down she will have to increase some medication.
I am planning to call my cousin to talk about our trip to Winnipeg.
I am going to call another cousin to see if we can get together Monday for lunch and then I want to register for one or two classes at the Golden Age community center. Maybe we’ll register for a class together.
I am also going to call my son as Monday is my grandson’s birthday. I want to see if I can pick him up after school and take him to buy his present. I just called. He sounds so hassled!!! He doesn’t have my grandson this week so have to call my DIL.
There is also a show coming WALKING WITH THE DINOSAURS. It’s only coming in August but the tickets are going on sale now. I have to find out the price of tickets. Maybe I can take my "two" grandsons. I think it may be too scary for a little girl. My son says probably not.
Last night once I got off the couch I had a very pleasant evening. I practiced my accordion, banged on my drum for awhile, and then I painted. I also went through some pictures. Some I am tearing up – if I don’t know who they are or they didn’t come out good. Some are too small. I might start scanning some pictures into hubby’s computer as he already has about ten thousand and he wants the OLDER ones too.
I keep looking at my house and thinking about how I can change things. We live in a big house but somehow I think it should/could be arranged differently. Some changes would cost money and hubby is always against that.
I finished reading Danielle Steel’s book, "ONE DAY AT A TIME." It’s the first time I skipped paragraphs and pages because it was boring or very predictable. I wouldn’t even have read it but my son’s girlfriend gave it to me so thought I should read it.
So I guess I should make my calls and then get on the treadmill.
I’ve been reading you for a long time. I read OD from 1999 on, but didn’t start my own diary until 2003 and I never left notes before that.

I’ve been on OD since 2001. I am not sure if we’ve crossed paths before as I’ve written under several differnt names. Like you, I seem to have a hard time putting myself out there to make friends. I’m just not comfy with the intial “small talk” period. So I get defensive and appear unapproachable. Really, I’m just shy. I think, depending on the age, the girl would love the dinasour show just as much. When are you goign to Winnipeg? My hubby used to live there. I hear they are goign through some major flooding or areas around their river are.

I would love to meet my OD friends. I have spoke on the telephone with one and have enjoyed the OD very much. And so what if I meet some of them and they are different from their OD, they still can be friends. lol Take care and have fun on that treadmill.

I’ve been on OD since 1999 or 2000. I know a few personally. And met one in StLouis a few years ago. I have hard time putting myself out there…I’m a very private person. Ryn: they are bug bombs in a can that you set off…usually one per room depending on the size. you have to leave for 2 hours, then after 2 hours return to oopen all windows and leave again for 1 hour. they work great.
