They are thankfully outgoing and not shy to make friends However, it imakes it a bit more difficult to enter into exisiting, established friendship circles.
I forgot to comment on that earlier post.

I DO need to think about the pharmacy, hospital, doctors, and my sisters are worried about me perhaps needing someone to drive me to different types of appts. where you cant drive yourself home.

Otherwise - i have no problem being alone, with my dog. I do most things alone, and would rather have my own company to enjoy, and the quiet of it!

I am friendly if someone is friendly first to me, but i probly wont go out of my way and seek out friends no matter where i live... i just dont feel like i 'need' them for anything. I have alot of old friends that i talk to and write to. I dont need people to do things with.

Steer clear of Steuben. Unfriendly. Ignorant. Xenophobic.
