Use FriendshipFinder to meet friends and singles

by

If you’re interesting in meeting new people, talking to others online and perhaps meeting in real life you might be interested in visiting FriendFinder. It’s always great when you can meet new people from the comfort of your own home isn’t it?

FriendshipFinder looks like it would be a great site to meet people in your area. Whether you are looking to date or just make friends.

Just for the heck of it I signed up and did a search for women in Ontario. Obviously I’m not looking to date! I just wanted to see how many other women in my area were looking for friendship and I was able to find a few from my general area of the province.

You can do a basic search on FriendshipFinder without signing up, but if you want to contact any of the members that come up in your searches you’ll have to sign up to send them a message or to chat with them using the FriendshipFinder chat system.

Considering that I’m stuck at home due to my illness I can’t get out as much with my friends and I’m not often in situations these days where I can make new friends so I can see how joining FriendshipFinder might be nice in that I’ll have a few more people to talk with if I do make any friendship connections.

One nice thing about a site such as this is that it allows you to get to know someone first before you perhaps take a chance and meet them in person.

Members make profiles, and can put up photos of themselves so you can get an idea of what they look like and what their interests are before you contact them. Then, as I said earlier, you can chat with them online as much as you want before making plans to possibly meet in person.

I’m sure that by the time you actually meet the person you’ll feel like you already know them if you’ve talked to them a few times online. I know when I’ve made friends with people on the internet in the past and eventually met them it always already felt like I knew them.





Stalker neighbor, power outages and battery clocks!

by

I think I’ve mentioned my neighbor Sofie before on this site. She’s my elderly neighbor that I call my stalker because she’s constantly knocking on my door or following me around the garden or worst of all staring at me from her window as I work on my desktop computer.

Thankfully I have a laptop now so I can hide from her sometimes!

Well … lately we seems to have a lot of small power outages. I’ve actually noticed that this has been happening at about 6 a.m most days. Most of the time the outage is so fast it doesn’t knock out our clocks or anything else, but early this morning I guess it was a fraction of a second long enough to mess with our electric clocks.

When our clocks go out so do the neighbors! Arghhh … Sofie hasn’t banged on our door yet to reset her clocks but she will. I know she will.

One of our electric digital clocks has batteries in it and even if a power outage is a few hours long it will say the correct time when the power comes on. We’ve spoken to our neighbors family about getting her some of these clocks. They aren’t expensive so I have no idea why they haven’t yet.

I’m at the point now where if they don’t buy her a clock today or tomorrow I’m going to go out and buy her two and give them the bill. Gas and time expenses included!

Why do some families not take care of their elderly relatives properly? I’m certain it’s their lack of care causing her to fixate on us .. me .. so much.

Fire, electricity and stupid people

by

We had quite the scare yesterday. I plan on writing out the full details on my main blog Tricia’s Musings sometime later today but I’ll just tell you it involved fire and electricity, neighbors stupid people!

Remember how I was mentioning we had a really bad storm here in Toronto early last week and that trees fell down and crushed houses in our general neighborhood but luckily not on our block? Well it appears that the tree next door to us might have had a bit of damage.

Just to summarize a branch fell on the power line that was under the tree. The power box is right there too beside the power line and the branch got zapped by the electric wire. Neighbors all round were outside staring at the flames but were too stupid to call 911!

I called 911 and got the fire department and police to come and check out the problem. Meanwhile the electric box attached to the wire exploded!

The neighbor who owns the tree is our Karaoke neighbors and they were terrified and stayed in their house. Right … there’s a fire in the tree that’s hanging over my house and I’m going to stay inside? No way!

Anyway, I’ll give a full account on my other site at some point later in the day. It was a bit of excitement that got the adrenaline pumping!

Idiot neighbors finally quieted down

by

My neighbors finally quieted down on Saturday night. I still didn’t end up getting much sleep though. I was so mad that they had destroyed my evening! I swear they were so loud with their awful Karaoke music that it almost seemed like they were inside my house.


The next time we buy a house it will not be a semi-detached. There’s nothing much wrong with semi-detached homes, but if you have noisy neighbors you can often hear them through the walls. Now I live in an old well built house … I really shouldn’t be able to hear my neighbors through a couple of feet of brick and plaster should I? I do though so that means they are extremely loud!

I guess we’re going to have to have a talk with them this week. They already know that we can hear their music and singing. We’ve even brought them inside our house when they had their music up loud and they agreed that it was outrageously loud.

So I have to think that they don’t care how noisy they are since they know how loud they are – they’ve heard themselves!

Strange hangover cures

by

On Monday, as I came back from a doctors appointment we ran into our new and apparently temporary mailman. It turns out he’s an old acquaintance. He’s the ex-boyfriend of one of the guys that I work with in the ER.

We’ve had the two over to our house several times, but since I’ve been stuck at home sick I hadn’t seen either of them for quite a while. Talking to M about the get togethers we’d had in the past got me thinking about his ex’s strange drinking habits.

You see, B, as I’ll call him, used to enjoy drinking a concoction that was half beer and half Clamato juice! I can’t remember if I ever dared to even have a sip. Doesn’t that just sound awful!

Other than getting some extra vitamins from the Clamato juice the only benefit that I can think of to drink such a thing would be that it would make a great hang over preventer, or if you drank it the morning after a night of partying it could probably be considered one of those wild hangover cures because I’m sure all the salt in the Clamato juice must help prevent dehydration while drinking, and it’s the dehydration the morning after that usually makes you feel so awful.

I don’t tend to drink all that much these days, but if I ever do over do it, perhaps I’ll try B’s mix the day after and see if it helps.

What crazy hangover cures have you come across or tried?
