I'm sorry, but, at the present time I am NOT in a position to accept any new e-friends. I just don't have any more time to spare !
I am interested in corresponding, by e-mail, with WOMEN only, ( NO MEN ) to exchange thoughts, and pleasantries. I am NOT interested in establishing a serious relationship, since I much enjoy the single life! Because of the surprising number of requests I have been most fortunate to receive, I am reduced to checking out only those ones with profiles which include photos. ( Which, incidentally, is my reason for excluding men ! )
P.S. Although I have lived here for 60 years, I was born, and raised, in Edinburgh, Scotland. I was also fortunate enough to spend five years ( interrupted by 2 years in the RAF ) in Newcastle-upon-Tyne  - a lovely city, with lovely people !
PPS. Although the green light is often on, I am not always sitting in front of my PC
PPPS. Sometimes when I am ON here, the green light is OFF!
PPPPS. My pictures are 13 years old !

I wish to write only to women!  (BUT ONLY WOMEN WITH PHOTOS!)  Please  note  -  I have NO interest in marriage, nor any long term romantic relationship!!!
Any money that I might have, will always remain within my family circle! You should also understand that I will NOT be a sponsor for anyone wishing to relocate in Canada.
I should also mention, that I do e-mailing, but I don't do CHAT!
Oh! There's one more thing. ' I DO NOT ' respond to form letters!!!
Finally, who's Bookmarking me? and why would you bother?
OH ! I almost forgot  - ATTENTION ALL SCAMMERS !
Living on a pension, I am often a wee bit short of cash. Therefore, in lieu of providing you with the readies, I will pray for your ill, and dying relatives, with all the sincerity that I can muster ! Now, what could be fairer than that ?
