COOL QUOTES & SAYINGS -
As Barry Cornwall (19th century British poet & dramatist) was quoted as saying "Most writers steal a good thing when they can".
Most of these are from fellow POFers, some off the internet. I have quoted the source, where possible.

Location is a matter of geography, distance ~ a matter of the heart.
I'm more than aware that geography can hinder some situations, but it's important to remember:
my feet are not nailed to the floor here.
"Some of the greatest things in life are unseen, that's why you close your eyes when you kiss, cry, or dream."
There is a movie line that I think of sometimes, and wonder how many people have felt it: "I missed you
before I even met you." I think it happens for some.
Someday, someone will walk into your life and make you realize why it never worked out with anyone else.
"Life gives you a thousand chances ~ all you have to do is take one."
It's my mission to be a good person because it's the right thing to do. - verygreeneyez

Life is too short to date d*ckheads. - (from a post by ladyc4) ROFLMFAO!!

Do not love a person for their appearance, the clothes they wear, the car they drive... love them because
they sing a song only your heart can hear - *Cowboy*

“When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door, that we do
not see the door that has been opened for us.-Helen Keller

The hardest thing to learn in life, is which bridge to cross and which, to burn.

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you
did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore.
Dream. Discover.” ~Mark Twain - .MacGyverRI

quote from JFK: Every person CAN make a difference. And everyone should try.

Regret is worse than rejection. Rejection heals but regret sticks with you. The fear of the unknown is
worse than the 50/50 chance of rejection. Think about it... If you never ask then there is a 100% chance
you wont be rejected. But, there is also a 100% chance of missing that opportunity. At least the other
way you have better odds In My Opinion at least. - from a post by ~DREAMS~

A man traveled with the Buddha and determined to test his philosophy of love. Every time the Buddha spoke, the man
would heckle and harass him. He followed him everywhere and took every opportunity to berate and antagonize him.
This went on for three days and in all that time the Buddha never showed the man anything but love and kindness. Finally
the man couldn't stand it any longer. He confronted the Buddha and said, " I have treated you with anger and rudeness
and you have shown me nothing but love. How can you do that ?!" The Buddha just smiled at the man and asked, "If
you offer someone a gift and they do not accept it, to whom does the gift belong?"
People do what they do, and nothing more. If I accept their negativity into myself then I have accepted their gift and that
choice is always mine.

And btw, for all those who wonder if I am a glass 1/2 full kind-of girl: Rather than descend into a philosophical
arguement on the subject, I would much rather raise said glass in a toast:
Here's to everyone, starting with us.
(And btw, from both a logical & a mathematical point of view, it's BOTH!) If it's 1/2 FUll, then the other half,
is going to be empty!

I co-hosted a POF white water rafting trip in August 2007. Here's some pictures:

I organized another trip this summer, Saturday May 30th, 2009.
Unfortunately, we didn't get much turn out this year. But we really had a blast!

Apparently I can't embedd videos from Imeem, anymore. If you want to see the videos I made, email me
& I'll send you my address on a site that allows me to upload videos.

PLEASE NOTE:
If I have added you to my favorites recently it probably means that I am working up the nerve to email you,
which could take weeks or even months.
If you find my profile appealing, please save us both a lot of time & email me first. It's SO much harder since
Plenty of Fish discontinued their IM.

Thanks a bunch, Markus (sarcasm)

What is my favorite idea for a first date? Weather permitting, a home-made picnic at my favorite artificial waterfall,
in downtown Vancouver, near the Burrard Skytrain station. (You can see it behind me, in picture #2).

Otherwise, the standard coffee/interview date works fine for me, with the option of extending it, if the chemistry
is right.

While Life may not be the party we'd planned on, we might as well dance

DANCING - you have to like dancing, even if you are terrible. - (talldarkjay)
(footnote to that) I read once (I think it was Eleanor Roosevelt who said it) that being shy, was actually a
little conceited. You are so stressed & worried that everyone is staring at you, when really, no one cares!

In the interests of full disclosure, I should probably mention that I am disabled. I have arthritis, fibromyalgia
& CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome)
While I do enjoy all the activities listed above, I do have some limitations that you should be aware of,
in all fairness.
