This is a bit of a stupid thing but a bummer all the same. Four years ago I got a roll of quarters and never used it. It has been in my glove box in my car all this time. In fact, I’ve changed cars and moved that roll of quarters from car to car. At one time, my husband said he could have used them for something and I had a fit and said NO, I’m saving them! He asked why and I said because I have a feeling there’s a rare quarter in there plus, I’m not good at saving money and I’ve saved $10 so I’m going to keep saving it.

Well today I decided it was the day to open my “special” roll of quarters and wouldn’t you know—–there’s absolutely nothing special in there except the fact that I’m managed to save $10 for four years.

Meh

More and more I am reminded of why I am not a social person. Recently I have become online gaming friends with a lady who is just a couple years younger than me. When we met in the game about 3 weeks ago, she was calling another player “babe” and said he was her man. At the time, I assumed they had at least MET but I came to find out that wasn’t the case. In the meantime, this lady was always playing in the game with the roommate of her “babe” and confided in me that she really liked him much more than her babe so she broke it off with him for the roommate. This has all happened within 3 weeks time. Talk about fickle. I knew that she and the roommate were always on skype together while gaming and evidently this caused their relationship to blossom (in 3 weeks). Last weekend, she asked me to keep her new babe company in the game because she was going to be gone on vacation. She expressed to me how much she’d miss him, etc. While talking to him in game over the weekend he told me how much he missed her and then dropped the bomb–he loves her. I don’t ever keep my mouth shut of course and I said WOW that’s fast and he went on to tell me she said it first. WOW again. They have never met in person though I’m sure they’ve exchanged photos. Obviously they have talked at length and I know they’ve had “sex” over skype as well because she told me. There is so much irony to this. There is a vast age difference for one thing. She told me she’s 38 and he told me he’s 21 yet when I asked her how much older she is than him, she said 8 years. Ummmm ok whatever. Age certainly isn’t everything but this woman has three children and the oldest is only 2 years younger than this online man according to what he told me.

I know that online dating is the thing now days and I guess it’s just something I can’t fathom and fortunately, I don’t need to fathom it either. With that being said, online dating is one thing but this is quite another. I just don’t get it. These people don’t have love any more than a candy bar has love for me. They have lust, I have little doubt of that.

According to her, they are going to meet in a couple of months if all goes well. I figure at the rate it’s going she’ll have gone through at last 2 more “babes” by that time.
