I just started "internet dating". Egads. So I am having fun exchanging notes. I am trying to find local men ( though my profile is probably intimidating to many.... Its a sorting mechanism no doubt.

So I penned this in chat today for fun.

If you sit down and do it Eventually you intuit and the words flow with rhyme and you can do it anytime They do write themselves from your unconscious self And they flow and they rhyme and are a fun way to pass the time. That way with words (C) Artimus AKA Susan Manley 2/2/24

I am however food for internet scammers as i try to explain myself in a profile that hopefully sorts out the guys that just see a photo and want a quiet lady. Ahem... not moi
