Testing the Waters

Hey folks,
I'm getting bored with 'the' social site that consistently forces its members to change, so I decided to try another venue.  I know someone else who 'blogs,' and maybe it will prove to be different.  We'll see.


The older I get, the fewer social skills I have.  But, then, I've always considered myself to be a 'no face.'  A 'no face', you say?  Yep.  That is someone who is pretty much invisible and kinda fades into the background unless specifically picked on or perhaps noticed for whatever reason.  Now, I must say, my spouse and a few family members have brought me to a level whereby I can pretty much fit in socially, but I really have to work at it.  That's why I find the Web and its offerings to be so acceptable for someone like me.


I've spent the last three years 'on the road.'  After losing pretty much everything to the economy, the spouse and I have started over and are holding on by the 'skin of our teeth,' as my mother used to say.  Most days I'm overly frustrated by not being able to obtain employment (after shooting myself in the foot about 10 years ago).  But, then, I do have loads of time to spend reflecting and gaining wisdom concerning society and its trash.  There is absolutely no one left to hear me, however.  I've used up all my 'free chances' with family members who have tired of my rantings.  Now they can choose to read them, if so inclined.


Countdown begins to my husband's retirement.  He deserves it, after having worked for the last 50 years.  Thankfully, he had put in just enough to the Social Security pot that we can maintain our frugal lifestyle.  Yay.  There are emotions involved, however, because we are leaving our somewhat comfort zone and plan to 'test the waters' in another locale.  Wish us luck.  Until next time...don't take any wooden nickles.
