Hello I had a thought to seek out some new 'pen friends' with similar interests. I'm a busy working person but ideally like to exchange proper letters with someone rather than chat in Forum threads. is it possible to do that on this platform?

Hello - if you look in the Pen Pal Forum thread you will find some other members who are likely to want to correspond by letter - https://www.silversurfers.com/silversurfers-forum/topic/id-love-a-pen-pal/

Hi Rindee, have just joined this site and read your comment, I am maybe a
bit older than you, and am a man, but that never stops me from saying hello
and chatting, so you can also say hello. to me if you wish. I live in Hampshire
so if you are in the area all the better, take care, and good luck with getting
more replies, all best wishes, Terence.
Response from soloman made on 11th Nov 2024 13:45:35
Hi Rindee, thank you for your reply, I think that your wires are crossed, but
an easy assumption to make,, but I am in Hampshire in the UK, still with
these devices like my iPad you can talk to someone across the pond in
a single moment.
I hope you are well, Autumn has well and truly set in over here, but the
trees look lovely with the orange leaves. A bit on the chilly side, but at
least it’s dry.
As I said in my first message to you, I assume from you photo, that at
76 I am a good deal older than you, but I am still fit and active, and love
to travel, been lucky to have been to 31 countries in my life, and just
enjoy the sights of other places on this Earth.Anyway I tend to go on a bit,
so I will leave you in peace for now. Hope that despite the age gap, I will
hear from you again, take care, T
Response from soloman made on 12th Nov 2024 12:39:16
Hi Rindee, you are right, if you had used you area code, I would not have had a clue where you were, still now we know.
Yes age is a a finite thing, I wish mine was not so high, but I can’t complain
as I have mostly had a good life, my mind says I am 26, but my body knows differently unfortunately. It seems like you have been busy since you retired, it keeps you young when you are doing things.
My user name should have read Solo Man, but it comes out as if I am the
Biblical figure, maybe I should have asked to meet my Sheba, haha.
Yes your country has a lot of diversity so as you say, there is plenty to see
and do there, our little island does have some lovely places to visit, but
the pull of travelling is ingrained in my soul, so as long as I am able to get
about, I will be off, Early next year, I may go to Livingstone in Zambia once
again, as I love to visit the Victoria Falls, and the campsite runs a free bus
there, and I could if I wish walk over the bridge and see the Falls from the
Zimbabwe side.
Well enough rambling on, so for now, I will say cheerio, and wish you a good day, all best wishes, Solo Man haha.
PS there is a chat room on this site in there is anything that you want to talk about without sharing it with everyone on here.

Response from SmilesLots made on 30th Oct 2024 18:45:50
Are the wings of freedom due to retirement or divorce?
Response from linda1963 made on 30th Oct 2024 21:15:37
Divorce,took 5 years but freedom comes to those who are patient.

Smilesalot - thanks for getting in touch. I'm not entirely sure how this works. I got a message saying you'd like a chat & to click on the link I got. I did that but couldn't find you! Hope this works & that you do reply as like you (& you guessed from my name) that I love cats. Sorry you're unwell & a bit isolated. Life can be tough can't it? Having a chat can't hurt. Do get in touch again if you'd like to.

Hello - I've signed up with Silversurfers for the first time today. I live in the north west of England & I'm hoping to make some new friends & keep what passes for my brain ticking. I'm a retired university lecturer & I'm 73 (how did that happen?) I imagine many of you have discovered, as I have, that as one gets older, one's address book gets shorter. So, I'm hoping to find things to do here, people to chat to, & to find new interests.
Thanks for reading.
Response from SmilesLots made on 30th Oct 2024 18:45:11
Hi Purrfect,

Do you have cats? I love cats. I retired recently due to a chronic illness and I've been quite isolated because of it lately. I would enjoy chatting with you!

Warmly,

Frances

Hi,

Scotland is on my travel list? Are you retired? Are you originally from Scotland?

I live near Washington, DC. The air is tense here with the presidential election just a few days away.

Hope you had a good day,

Frances

Hi Freaky,
I'm new here but happy to make your acquaintance! I've always wanted to see Scotland. It looks so beautiful! I'm in the US, my whole life. You?? What do you do that makes your heart smile?
Look forward to hearing from you!

Sorry Feekay, spellcheck changed the spelling of your name in my 1st post to you! Sometimes technology can be a pain

Hi I just joined in the last few minutes and wondering myself how to navigate but you seemed like a nice person so thought I would say hello from Canada. My husband goes to bed with the chicken and my son just bought his own house so no one to talk to. If you send me a note I will answer back. Fetrina

Hi,
My husband use to go to bed early so I understand .
Welcome
Response from benteemyyahoocom made on 27th May 2024 11:35:26
He went to bed with the chicken?
Response from Zandria made on 21st Jun 2024 13:09:49 > @benteemyyahoocom
No wonder she is lonely if her husband sleeps with chickens. LOL Just kidding. Are you kidding too, or are you unfamiliar with that expression?
Response from IlovesilversurferS413 made on 24th Sep 2024 07:57:11
Hi Fetrina,
I'm Lori and I just joined to find people who want to chat, too! I'm 61 and married but hubs goes to bed early also. Looking for friends for me now! Things change and I'm changing with them. Looking forward to hearing from anyone who's interested. We all need people, right?

Hi Minka,
I'm Lori and I live in the US. I didn't know that silver surfers was in England. I guess it doesn't really matter. Love to chat about all different things. I'm married but looking for friends for me. Husband isn't interested. I'm doing things for me now. It is what it is and we all have to find what makes our heart smile! I enjoy talking to people and making friends. How about you?? Look forward to hearing from you!
