Don't feel so bad, my friend. I have over 4500 posts (including chit chat posts)and have been here for several years now. I have yet to meet anyone personally, talked to anyone on the phone or, for the most part, corresponded with anyone other than thru PMs or on AIM, and those are very limited.
Of course, unlike you, I'm an old fart and, frankly, feel totally out of the loop in conversing with my young friends in the forum. Plus, most people probably think I'm a pervert, a very astute observation on their part.
There are some people in the forum I would love to meet to have a few laughs with, some I would like to meet and laugh at, and some I wouldn't want to meet ever. It's very difficult when you're perfect like me to accept the notion that maybe the reason I have no personal relationship with anyone in the forum is that I act like an unpredictable A-hole most of the time and that, understandbly, can be very intimidating to some people.
I would suggest you tune into the chats on AIM with some of the young people. You'd be surprised how fast you'll make friends.
If you want to talk with me about AARP, medicare or senior discounts, you can always email me at

Have fun!:wave:
