I am 59 and live in the UK. I have been happily married for 36 years. I have no kids. Gave up smoking at the age of 27. I retired in April of this year. I worked for an engineering company owned by The Brunswick Corporation ( for all you from the US) for the past 7 years. I love the great outdoors and wildlife. Spent 10 holidays walking the trails in Utah. Love meeting people and very outgoing. I would always welcome E mails should any one want to contact me.

  • Do you think that people really want you to make contact?

    So many people want to make contact but very few seem to bother. Is there any point in giving E mail addresses if most don't bother to reply. I have had questions that I have wanted to get more information on but people who have given permission to contact them haven't replied. I know this is not a chat room but some answers need a follow up.

  • For Jehovah's Witnesses only?

    I mean no disrespect but I would like to know how you can believe that the world is only 5000 years old and that all the evidence from scientists that the Earth is millions or years old and things like carbon dating are untrue. I have a young friend who is a witness and we have very open discussions about religion. She says to me that if her parents weren't witnesses she doesn't know what she would be. This makes me wonder if she only believes in what her parents have taught her?
