Hello there - I know I'm talking to myself, but you get used to that with teenage children . . .

My years' subscription is nearly up, and i am wondering if i will renew. As yet, i am uncertain.

Don't get me wrong, virtually without exception, the "SG's" are a beautiful bunch, and the pictures are often stunning. I may be older than most, but - as yet - i am not dead. (quick check) I still have the (?) healthy appetite for a well-turned ankle . . . I make no apology for enjoying the photosets.

What disappoints is the chat, or a minority on it. Frankly, I don't need reminding that i am [a] old; not beautiful; or [c] not a "hunk" - i only have to look in the mirror. We all get older, if we don't die young - am i supposed to apologise for not dying? Tough shit, i ain't going to . . .

I was looking for some simple chat. I am a single parent, who lost the love of his life many years ago and who buried the pain in raising two beautiful daughters (they get their looks from their mother!) and who lost the art of social skills probably along the way.

I have met a few incredibly nice, friendly and warm individuals; and I have made a few friends whom I am genuinely fond of - they know who they are - and I have tried only to say nice things, and be supportive. maybe some people just don't like that?

I will think on it, but if i disappear, I don't think many will notice!
