This page was created in response to an AidMate who has had eye surgery and simply can't tolerate much online search. I'll be adding to the list below, so check back from time to time.

Hi.
It's nice to meet you. I am happy to chat with anyone whenever I am sitting here online. Well, except for when I am reading the strange and weird news of the day...lol. I love to laugh and try to do so as much as possible. I have a quick sense of humor.
I am a pretty calm and laid-back kinda guy. I spend most of my time at home although I do volunteer work for the local police department, a food bank, and various annual events such as the Special Olympics. I participate in the freecycle network and I am a big supporter of reducing carbon emissions on our earth.
I have a 10 yr old son who spends every weekend with me and I realize that becoming a dad has been the best thing that has ever happened to me. He and I are very close. He insists on spending every holiday here with me and we have a party, even if it's just he and I. I know I have sacrificed a typical single man's adult life by having him here every weekend, but I will not lose him to what's out there on the streets. Staying close to him is the only thing I know to do.
Other than that, I wish I was a living saint. I guess I just have to keep working on it. [Smile]. I love people and love being around people but because of this bone disease thingy or whatever they say I have this year, I stay home a lot. [If they poke on me one more time....geez o' pete!.....lol]. I do believe in giving, and I do so freely.
I guess the hardest things for me to accept are the things I cannot, or have not learned to do for myself.
Whoa... talk about needing the Serenity Prayer! How about a Serenity Network? Many days I can't get past the first word of the prayer... I just say "Lord..." And then there's a pause. And then start over, "Lord..."
At which point my son will walk in the room, "What's wrong, dad?"
"Are you Lord? Can you help?"
He giggles and says, "Of course I'm not Lord, and I'm just 10 years old. I can't help yet. Here dad, pull my finger."
He's right, and realizing that he at that really silly stage of life, I just look back at him and shake my head
"Lord..."
And then pull.
Feel free to participate in this public group space.
Two easy ways to do this:
Add a comment or a question here - on this page... or on any other page in this space.
Or, if you want to start a separate thread - make a new page.
Either way is good - the important thing is your participation. On Aidpage, people support each other by speaking out and by paying attention to each other - as simple as that.
