Testing the temperature of the ewaters....so to speak....

Well, i never thought that i would join such a site to meet people but, here goes........ i've  always been known as a risk taker and i love to fish so , somewhere in there, there is a linear parallel...I heard some stats the other day that basically amounted to the fact that more and more individauls are using social media to meet people of like interests. I presume on the other hand it would assist in filtering out…

Amusing but Poignant New Novel for Jewish widows.

I’m writing to you as the author of a newly released novel about widowhood.

how do I get someone to communicate with.

I was quite enthusiastic when I heard about this organization from a friend. I have been exceeedingly lonely since my wife passed and I was hoping to communicate with others who had a similar background. I hoped that this sharing would help with the loneliness. If anyone out there needs a pen pal please answer and lets start communicating.
I am seeing a psychologist and she has encouraged me to do this.

Enjoying Life

My reason for joining "doublechai" is to enlarge my circle of friends. Making the Single Scene is not my cup of tea. I feel that enjoying life as long as I can, is very important

to me. I hope there are others out there who feel the same way.

Wishing Peace in Israel and the world.

How can anyone think of dividing Jerusalem-- We cannot hope to make peace with a people who are out to destroy us. It seems that anytime people want to help the so called Palestinians it is because they fear retaliation from the terrorists groups, we only become weaker by appeasement to terrorist. Only showing strength and protecting and keeping our land will save us. The Land of Israel is the Jewish Holy Land. Peace will be throughout the world when we bring a true peace to Israel and be able… Continue
