Because if my main pic (which was totally respectable, high neckline

but donning the forbidden sunglasses, good food, and a hat) was reported and deleted...don't worry, your's will be too! Btw: the photo that the management deemed "appropriate" is now 2 years old. I haven't changed much, but you be the judge.

See? I'm honest and polish my halo regularly. No bull here...
As if I care...

But, I just felt obliged to issue a public service announcement. Then, there's my shy side...
Taking a break...I've wandered off to dry land to dry off, bask in the shade with a healthy slathering of sun screen, with an occasional peek and posting to the forums.
Besides, you probably won't like me anyway for I have no baby daddy drama, no mouthy teenagers, just a couple of occasionally loud but entertaining birds. I'm one of those boring, responsible people who pays her own bills, has no tats or exotic piercings, does not channel Betty Page, is low on the drama scale, employed, good credit, no debt, and dependable. It has been my observation that the drama ridden are the most coveted...yawn... and I believe that the Sugar Daddy thing ain't so sweet... because there is a price, usually one's soul.
Places to go, people to see...lots to do and it's all good...but the following self description still applies...¯`·.¸¸ .·´¯`· .¸>÷÷(((°>
Hey, I'm for real, are you? Not everyone "gets it" and they probably don't "get any" either, but that's ok...as it takes all kinds to make life interesting for variety is the spice of life.
It has been called to my attention by a friend who has joined the site and informed me that my profile can come off as a bit "scary" and intimidating to those who don't know me, my sense of humor or "heart" me. So, despite the fact that my lengthy profile gives War and Peace a run for the money, I present a "kinder and gentler" and "warmer and fuzzier" version.
Warning: length and an abundance of irreverence ahead...if this bothers you and you loathe reading...then quit while you are ahead and have a nice day! Not everyone understands, and that's ok for I am what I am and I issue no apologies.
I'm the happiest that I have ever been, am blessed by good friends and family. Although far from rich, I am lucky to have had my job for 10 years, but nothing is secure these days other than the people in your life. I'm good to them and because I surround myself with people of quality, they are good to me too. I'm lucky to have friends who are extended family. Some have been around since childhood.
I'm a stable yet fun individual who is soft spokenly outspoken and am definitely not for the flaky or faint of heart. After a youth that was wasted on being young, I am happy as I am and don't need to be "saved" or "remodeled". This doesn't mean that I'm rigid in my ways, but am a work in progress and I feel that I'm getting better all the time.
I wish to be enjoyed in my "as is" condition as it has taken me a long time to get here. By the same token, if you treat me with kindness and respect, you will get it back in abundance. I clean up well, but don't clean fish. However, I make up for it by being a passionate cook who can do great take out places on off or busy days. Trader Joe is a good friend.
After being on POF for awhile (mostly for the forums), I have found the following:
After having one individual too many looking for “cougars” (I hate that term and aren't cougars supposed to be the ones who are "on the prowl" ?),

*“Maggie Mae”, *“Mrs. Robinson”, “instant gratification"/cyber sex (yeah right, I'll be right over....not)... wanting to do things to my feet... wanting to "play" (not intending a competitive game of Scrabble, cards, checkers, trivia, or tiddly winks)...seeking "domination from a Scorpio"...delusional "geezers" who want a woman who "can keep up with them" (and that danged little blue pill...uh huh)

, I would like to thank the administrators for saying

to the 'im function. 'Tis a big relief.
* = If I have to 'splain who these characters are to you, then you are the audience to whom I am preaching.

If you are taken back by my “preferring not to say” about my body type, please know that after 2 years of participating in the forums, I keep observing as to how it is subjective and a matter of perspective as to what is "thin", "athletic", a "few extra pounds"… etc. etc. It is a big subject of controversy around here as there is not a "curvy" option. Some people truly believe that 300 lbs. is the new "athletic".
Since I'm not currently fishing, I'm free to believe (or delude myself)what I want about the state of my figure. You can too, but I wish to not hear about it.
And....you really don't want to hear my pontifications on the shades of gray of married, other than to say take care of your business and leave the rest of us the

alone or find someone who is in the same boat! I will not go there...and more so...about fake and old pictures!! Oh and then there are those who shave off a few years in the name of having "more search options".

Why lie? Where does it get you? I just turned 50, and it is what it is. I recently celebrated with style, thank you very much.
With all of that being said and out in the open, if you are interested in getting to know a genuine person, who is occasionally prone to a little silliness mixed with some tidbits of intensity and insight, please drop me a line. I don't bite unless you contact me regarding or resemble any of the nonsense that I mention above. You may be pleasantly surprised...

If not, best to you with your search on here, you just may make some new friends. I have made some of both genders, in other states (except for those a who are a fry short of a Happy Meal) and countries.
For the record, angry

people and I do not get along. Happy drunks are much more fun. Seriously...I recently had one contact me. All I can say is that his ex wife must be one of the happiest beings alive.

If you have read this far, then yay for you! You get a gold star, but it won't be like the medal of "serious" membership.
First date? Hmmmmm......not in the fishing mode at the moment, but...wouldn't it be a novelty if someone told you...
We would have sex, of course! I am of the belief that I owe you big time for that cup of coffee at Starbuck's because you are so deserving of a return on your "investment". Anything less than that is "gold digging".

I am kidding, of course. I had to add this disclaimer because someone recently asked why I stated this. Duh! I think I've been on the forums too long!
And...for the record, I really hate Starbuck's as their coffee tastes burnt and is over priced. Words of wisdom: learn how to make a good cup of coffee, it is a skill and some lucky lady will be

with your prowess.
Then there is the walk on the beach thing...don't you think that it could be a bit crowded with people from here? There is the possibility that you could run into someone whom you have dated from here and then have to deal with that. Just a thought.
Not everyone "gets it" but the best relationships are based on being friends first and aren't planned. So many want "instant relationship, add water". Think about it.
The following is so true:
Lust is easy. Love is hard. Like is most important. ~Carl Reiner
Oh and about "serious" membership...
Oh, and remember:
