I can certainly understand your desire to be with people your own age. And especially with a young daughter. When I was your age, I certainly respected my elders, but wanted to be with people my own age with common interests.

I'm assuming that most members of TOTV are aged 55 to 90. Therefore, TOTV seems a strange place for you to try to find friends your own age. I think you said that you are 34 years old (please correct me if I'm wrong).

I would really like for you to be happy. You seem to be seaching for something. I hope you find what you're looking for.

Bare...I am actually not really sure what YOU are looking for!

I am happy...very happy....and LOVE all my friends that I have here in TV and on TOTV. Now if you would look back to my other posts on this thread you will find that I was just interested in meeting MORE people....

I was curious to see if there were any other people in this world that have chosen to live TV's (or around TV's) that happen to be under 50.

Admittedly it is an unusal occurence, so I was interested in meeting them and hearing their story. Why did they choose here...what brought them here at a younger age then the norm...

Some how this thread was blown way out of control and was not carried on with it's original intent.

There are some people here that seem to think I may have ulterior motives for moving to TV's....but they don't know me....although I have explained things over and over and over again....it doesn't matter....they can think what they want. I will explain no more...

I honestly do not care anymore....trust me...I don't care...

However, this under 50 question's intent was just like anyone else going out to find other like minded people for a small group once in a while....like sports fans finding sports fans, bikers finding others, religious people finding others....to share conversations and experiences.

As you know there are not many people in their 30's or 40's that CHOOSE to live in this area...and I just wanted to see if there were any on TOTV that were hiding in the closet so to speak. I wanted to share my excitement and love of this area.

While I appreciate all of the people that "suggested" I go elsewhere to find friends my own age.....you just don't get it!

I don't want to make friends my own age....I have friends of many ages....I wanted to share experiences with other people in similar circumstances.... why is this such a hard concept to understand...

I am not sure why you seem to care so much about my well being....

I guess I should just be very grateful to have such concerned person looking out for my best interest.

Although it confuses me that you keep bringing it up again and again. Is there anything more you would like to say. Do you not think that a 34 year old should own in TV's...or hang around with people over 50....

It is ok if you feel that way....you have the right to your opinion and there are a few...just a handful on here that agree with you....as they have stated this to me. Sad that you might feel that way....because I thought you seemed very open minded and care free and I am actually a very pleasant person....and sometimes fun to be around....

But I have MANY friends here in town and they love me for who I am....everything about me....including my age....or despite my age.

So Bare....while I appreciate you wanting me to be happy....you really don't need to worry about me.

Let it go....time to move on....

I am doing just great and I really wouldn't want you to waste your time over worrying about me and whether or not I have friends...I do....

and guess what?! I met a lot of them right here on TOTV....where I intend to stay for a very long time....
