No question this time.
Just want to wish all the Lovely Lady a very Happy Valentines Day.
Remember, that life isn't over with an ostomy, it's just a new beginning.

Thanks Charleston Guy.... That was very sweet of you to send Valentines greetings to the ladies. BTW, loved your city the one time I visited. I definitely want to come back!
I read your profile, and it seems that you really went through a difficult time. I've had my Ostomy for more than 50 years, back when I was a 15 year old kid. So I really grew up/ and old....with my "badge of survival" Despite ongoing medical issues, I married, had two wonderful sons, and now have 3 grands. It may be a difficult journey, but I've learned to appreciate the good times, and stop to smell those roses.
Best of luck to you.

Hello everyone!!!
It has been almost a year since joining this site. I just wanted to share. I know a lot of people get concerned about meeting someone on here. I'm not a lifer membership and I had someone initiate to take me out. I've been divorced since 2009. He lives in Chicago. I ignored the first time thinking he was joking. I live in Milwaukee. So a month later he sent me a message through this site saying he wanted to meet me. That was in April this year. I must say it was the best thing that could happen to me. We talk almost every day. We have so much in common. He comes up all the time to spend the day or weekend together. It really does make a difference when someone has an ostomy like you. Such understanding and we always have something to talk about. I want to share because sometimes people think it's hard to meet someone or they say this site doesn't work. I'm a testimony that this site does work. We are talking marriage this time next year. I will keep you posted.
