March 27, 2023 By Joy Lynn Clark I have been online dating since it was invented. In my last post, (dating in the digital age) I’ve posted lots of tips for the online dating scene. Recently, I decided to try online dating again since I have been depressingly single. I meant another guy and he was cool. OK here comes the McMillan-esque getting-your-groove-back-part, he was younger. Not in age, I don’t think, but in lifestyle. I didn’t mind that he didn’t have a car or his own place.

He was an armed services veteran with a prescription for cannabis. We talked on the phone and had a deep conversation about our disabilities, he had brain damage. When it came time to meet, he lives kind of far. I was hoping we could meet halfway but, duh no car.

By Joy Lynn Clark Tuesday, June 8, 2021 In the beginning of the year I chose to make a lot of changes in my life. Last year sucked so bad that all I could do was do things completely differently. First off, I let go of my studio lease. I got tired of driving all the way to Louisville and, my studio was near this heating duct that was just ringing constantly. -the noise was getting into all of my half assed stuff that I made. Next, I chose to reach out to some of my old friends that I haven’t spoken to in a while. Thirdly, after crying my…
