Hello old lady2,and JKL..... my location is 1/4 mile out of Sun River Oregon, Bend is the town. It is a ski, area in the winter, which may or may not be a down side. There are many older people that cross country, ski, and snowmobile. In the win
Loved your poem and will share with my yoga class tonight!
So, what I hear you saying is that this is unacceptable. Be clear and sure. You are not o.k. with this. If he wants this relationship (with you), he has to take down his profile and just be with you---it's always a risk on both sides. Thanks for fillMarcia,
Thanks for your insightful comments. The only thing I would say is that I did not meet him on a dating site.
I met him on a holiday - face to face - in the company of friends. We spent two full weeks together all day every day, travelliYou're right, Darcy. I'm in no rush about anything, except that if he proves to be a chump then he'll be off my list of eligibles. I guess up to now I've been in the honeymoon phase, hoping he was a perfect as he seemed, but now my business head 
We’re both in the same boat, hair-wise. My husband and both kids have super thick, wavy hair. Mine’s poker straight. A style that’s worked for me is a classic- the pixie. It’s short, easy maintenance ( wash, dry, brush and go).
I’m being very good in this life so I can come back as a person with good hair. LOL Like Lady Linda above, everyone else in my family is blessed with great hair. What a bummer.
All my life I’ve watched women jump into the pool for a nice swim and emerge with a mere shake of the head to put all that crowning glory back in place. Post-swim I look like a drowned rat, and I’m not exaggerating.
If your hair is long right now, drop whatever you’re doing and go immediately to the hairdresser to have it cut in a short, layered style. No need to go pixie – just a short style. Why? The longer your hair, the more it wants to lay down on the top and sides of your head, like a pile of limp linguine. Layering will give it more body and more ways to fluff it up.
Hope that helps…
I am doing just the opposite – growing my short, fine hair out a bit. I used to be able to have a really cute pixie, but I have found that as I get older the tendency to “bend” (not really curl!) and the cowlicks have gotten more pronounced and difficult to manage, as well as a tendency to frizziness. A couple of years ago I had listened to the common wisdom and cut my hair much shorter as a proper woman of 60 should. But when I traveled this past winter to the warmer and steamy climate of New Zealand, my very short haircut reacted by turning into soft little frizz rolls at times! A new hairdresser at home urged me to let it grow out a bit with some shaping, and althought this long, hot summer is a challenge, the length of my hair has tended to straighten and fight the tendency to frizz-curl, along with some better products to restore shine and give some body.
My suggestion is to take your own hair inventory, there are different types of thin hair, and I had not realized just how much my hair was changing. If it is thin and straight, or with just a slight waviness, you may well be able to carry off that easy and adorable pixie. You might want to try it to find out if it really is for you – after all, it does grow!
One thing that hasn’t been mentioned here is that the shape of your face will make a difference. A long hair style makes me look jowl-y. I wear my hair in a short style, but it’s way more than pixie length – I need to lift my face with more hair on the top of my head than a pixie will allow. My hair is not only fine, it’s also absolutely straight, so I tease it a bit (very little) on top to achieve the lift.
I have straight fine and thin and I always wear mine short. It’s the only way I can get any type of style.
