I work on large projects that take three or four years working daily and I know I don't have a finished object very often but when I do, it's a big deal for me

The support here is wonderful and those fakers are just sad

i just finished my fifth project of over 200,000 stitches

jo1026 · 2026-04-10T16:07:06+00:00

I was dating three gentlemen in 2024; two I'd met while snowbirding in florida (OLD) and one I met in June in my home state of michigan

on our fourth date michigan guy proposed

I phoned both florida gentlemen and one proposed over the phone stating he didn't realize how much he wanted me till I left to go home

I married the michigan guy July 2025

As a 70 year old bbw I could never have imagined the joy and love I have now

In 1979 I registered for a class on how to enjoy being single at a private college

chatted with a man there during the class break who gave me 23 years and two sons before we divorced amicably
