Need a date?

OK, I haven't posted in awhile...I've been busy.....you know holidays and everything...stress at work, sitting in the dark pouting over things I cannot change....(What, you don't do that?)

Anyway, I have noticed lately that I have been getting these spam (I can only hope it's spam) emails trying to get me out on the dating scene.....You read that right, email that wants to match me up with someone local, "See pictures of local singles!"  But that's not what upsets me.  What upsets me is the fact that all of these email solicitations are for local SENIORS.....Well, I guess what SHOULD upset me is the fact that I am not single, so I shouldn't be looking for anyone, but REALLY now, do I have that much personal information out there that they know if I AM looking, I should be looking out for a hotty with a walker??

The one I got today declares " A Local Senior Single Wants to Join You This Holiday!!"  For What?? A bed bath?? Will I be clipping toenails??  Cleaning dentures?? Helping them feed themselves??  Do they know I am a nurse? 

OK OK I may be a little more touchy than I should be, but for crying out loud, I certainly don't consider myself a "Senior".  I don't get a senior discount yet.....that should count for something.  And where the heck WAS I online to become the target of these lovely invitations?  And why do they assume I am in need of a date?  I am a woman over 50, I guess I should be divorced or widowed at this point.....I can find my own dates thank you very much..... if I was single.... if I wanted to.....I think.....but I don't have to so I'm gonna stop thinking about it......I'll probably forget anyway, my memory isn't what it used to be.....
