In the backpacking world, we have trail angels who help hikers if they find themselves in need. This site has some truly amazing 'ostomy angels' who understand the plight and just want to help others. They work behind the scenes to help people. I have met some of the most amazing people here who've facilitated my transition from an emergency ileostomate to someone who once again embraces life. I only wish I had found this site sooner. Don't be afraid to put yourselves out there. Express your issues and ask for help. Ostomates live to help each other.

Congrats! That's a great story! It's been 10 years for me on this site and I'm still waiting/hoping to meet my soulmate. You're one of the lucky ones, so good for you both! Cheers!

Ritz,
i am so happy for you and Panguy! Never thought this was a dating site but nice to know that it does put people together that have more in common than the most of the world!
You both are lucky!
I wish you the best,
Puppyluv

Ritz and pan congratulations on finding love on this site. I am so happy for you two.

So happy for you and panguy. He must be special to fly so far to meet you.

Hello Ritz.
Thank you so much for sharing your good news and I wish to add my own congratulations to you both.
When I first came on here, it did not occur to me that it might be used as a dating site. However, on reflection, anywhere and everywhere has that potential for bringing people together in all sorts of ways, including emotional love. I am with you all the way, when you say: " I strongly believe that if a mutually loving relationship (with a man) forms, it will be that of fate, curiosity, friendship, then blossom into love ". However, I also believe that there is an animalistic attraction that can create a very strong bond between two people ( or between a person and their pet!), that cannot be completely written off as being invalid. Although, for myself, I have a deep mistrust of uncontrolled emotions, so I prefer the sort of relationship that is worked upon in a way so that it develops as stronger and more reliable the longer it continues. As is my wont, I have previously written a few rhymes on this subject so I take the opportunity of resurrecting one of them here for you both. (others can be found on my profile0
Best wishes

WHAT KIND OF LOVE?
Love can be a lightning strike.
Shocking, bright, then gone.
That’s not the kind that I would like.
To build my love upon.
A love like flowers bought with cash.
Brings forth those loving sighs.
But like the light of lightning flash.
The beauty quickly dies.
A stallion with his speed so fast.
Captures the gamblers gaze.
But stallion’s stamina will not last.
It’s just a passing phase.
I know that lightning love so well.
Intense and full of fire.
‘Twas without thinking that I fell.
In that hypnotic mire.
The love I want is not like this.
It’s good and sound and strong.
My ideal love’s a prognosis.
That grows and lingers long.
I like the love that gardeners give.
To plants within their care.
To maximise their chance to live.
And in that life they share.
Topiary is a skill admired.
Where shape will come in time.
With care and love it is inspired.
Like rhythm in a rhyme.
I like to plant an acorn seed.
Then tend and watch it grow.
This is the long-term love I need.
And that’s the love I sow.
I’m like a shire-horse strong and proud.
Working all year round.
No need to shout my love out loud.
In deeds it can be found.
I want love that stands the test.
Consistent and secure.
For me that type of love’s the best.
It shows my love’s mature

Wow...as I read your post, I could swear that I heard music playing in the background. Sounded like a love song.... So, is it going to be Ariz or Mass???

Happy Sunday Ritz, I'm happy for both of you! May your love continue to flourish!
Best Wishes,

Arizona ..although my brother lives only 10 miles away near Panguy in Mass (my brother is in CT ). ...But I do believe that northern cooler AZ would be better suited for us both . I'm in the low hot desert 🌵. One never knows !
Thankyou Henry for the good thoughts . We can't wait to see each other in person again .

Hi Ritz, I am so happy for you both! May your love grow stronger as time goes by. Don't waste a moment! Congrats!

Oh Panguy ... I am so sorry I did make you ride the roller coaster , probably the biggest,longest one .... but just know our feet are firmly back on the ground . Just think how fun life can be with the right person ,and you're the right person . My ray of sunshine ☀️.

This is a delightful post to read - the very best good news: warmest good wishes to you, Ritz and Panguy!

Hi Ritz and panguy
Congratulations to you both. It's great to hear something positive on the site. Can I ask one question though? If you decide to get married can I be your bridesmaid lol 😂. No serious good luck on a very bright future XX

Hey Ritz, Congrats to you. That is so nice to hear that you found true love. Stay well. Penguins7


Congratulations!!
Ritz and Panguy,
I knew there would be the next love story happen on this site and I agree with what Puppyluv said this site brings people together. Good luck and well wishes to you both! ...mountain.

To ritz, & Pan, congratulations to both of you, for weathering " what if's", and taking a real leap of faith on finding love... Best of luck to the both of you. Marsha

This was updated over a week ago .... we broke apart


OH ..noo Ritz . Are you saying that you broke up !! ?? If so I am so sorry to hear it .. say it ain't so . If you can talk about it , pronbably too personal but could you possibly say what the dealbreaker was ?? I only ask because it could be helpful to others on the site
Thank you
Eamon
