DIVORCED POTTER LOOKING FOR NEW MATE

Hi. I ve been divorced for over 20 years and its been more than 3 years since I was last in a relationship. In 1997 I learned that when a car and a motorcycle argue the car wins. I was in a coma for a month. Two of the 3 nerves that go through my left wrist were crushed. To control the pain I still must take pills 3 times a day. Its a bother but I recognize how lucky I am. Thankfully I was wise enough to bank the money I received from the insurance company of the person who caused the accident. I purchased a lifetime annuity that is indexed for inflation. The annuity combined with my pension will keep a roof over my head and food on my table.Prior to my accident I successfully operated 2 companies at the same time. In one I imported and distributed greeting cards and stationary across Canada. In the other I acted as a sales agent for other companies in the giftware industry. One of the lines I represented was Sandylion Sticker Designs. Although my territory was limited to the province of Ontario I was Sandylion s best performing rep in all of North America. When Sandylion s owner decided that she wanted to expand to Europe she asked me to attend several trade shows in America that were on at the same time. As I needed to go to those shows to find new card lines I agreed. In my greeting card company I grew the sales from 125 000 yr to over 1 000 000 yr. As the gross margin was 20% I live quite comfortably.Sadly my selling days came to an end when I learned that when a car and a motorcycle argue the car wins. Having been on the bike I was im a coma for a month. The accident happened 7 weeks before my second wedding. Despite my fianc e s promise that we d remain close sadly she s now married to someone else.I was part of the last graduating class of Sir George Williams University in Montreal. The year after I graduated the Quebec government merged Sir George with Loyola College to form Concordia University.A number of years ago I lived in a house with a basement apartment. It was nice having the revenue to reduce my mortgage payment. As my current space flooded several weeks ago I have asked my best friend who is a real estate agent to find me a new place. As I have photographic evidence of the flooding it shouldn t be hard to get this lease terminated.
