UPDATING MY PROFILE:IT MAY TAKE AWHILE BECAUSE I TRUELY DON'T LIKE SITTING AT A COMPUTER-NEVER WOULD LAST AT A OFFICE JOB-I OWN A TRUCKING COMPANY AND I ALSO DRIVE ONE OF THE TRUCKS[YES- THE MACK]LAUGHED AT THE ? DO YOU OWN A CAR -NOT A CAR TYPE-BUT I DO LIKE MY PICK-UP ABOOUT ME: BEEN SINGLE FOR ALITTLE OVER 3YRS-SLOWLY GETTING USED TO BEING SINGLE-IT'S DIFFERENT AFTER BEING MARRIED FOR 25YRS-READY TO DATE YES-LONG TERM IF THE RIGHT PERSON COMES ALONG MAYBE-after reading some profiles on here I think to my self being single might not be so bad-I'm not looking for Mr.Perfect just Mr. Perfect to me- I'm 5'3" about 140#-very comfortable with that at my age-very active but not the gym type-ADD MORE LATER TIRED OF TYPING SO KEEP CHECKING BACK TO SEE IF I ADD MORE AND I WILL UPDATE-UPDATE(10-22-09)this not what I was planning on putting on for a update-guess what- I met this guy on here that has really caught my attention(SSM-you know who you are)-I've received alot of messages from other guys and I hope you will understand that I'm not answering for one simple reason that I don't want any male friends or to lead anyone on --it would be so easy to play 2 or more guys on this site-won't do that because that not who I am or what I want in life.It's just I'm looking for only one special person that will be my Mr Perfect-( hoping maybe he is -don't know yet -time will tell). If anyone knows the song by Racshal Flatts-Take Me There(if you don't listen to it) that's what I'm feeling right now- can't wait to learn more and more about him-and if for some reason it wasn't meant to be(because of distance) I'll be able to say I met this wonderful guy on-line and I wish him the best in this world and someday he will make some lady very happy-and I wish it could of been me. Time will tell and I'm hoping for the best- until then I won't respond to any messages because like I said I'm only looking for my Mr Perfect and I have room for only one-UPDATE(12-15-2009)Life is good-all 4 of my kids are grown and are some any parent would be proud to call their own-my business is something any woman or man would be proud of-I'm at a very good point of my life just looking towards the future and lots of happiness-thats what life is all about- know a neat place in ST Thomas that has real nice quiet beachfront balcony rooms- snow in the mid-west-that can be nice too-what more could we want-u just need to find the time to take off work-I'm on my long winter vacation-gonna enjoy every minute of it.Remember my b-day coming up soon-i know u forgot what day it is- u just gonna have to watch and see what day my age changes on this site and then u will know-be nice to know if this site is accurate on ages for updating profiles.Don't feel bad if u don't remember it-you are a normal man when it comes to dates like that-very understandable about that- it's just another day at my age to me but what is important to me is your random calls and texes during the day.UPDATE:12-24-2009-I'm turn 49 today almost a Christmas baby-most women on their b-day like to have that one special man take them out for the evening but lets get real- u tell me one nice place you can go on Christmas eve for a nice meal and a few drinks and not feel rushed because most places close early to-nite so I can honestly say I never been out on my birthday for a evening out like that-49 yrs old and never been taken out for for a evening on my birthday -that sad but there are other ways I enjoy spending my b-day and that having some one fix me breakfast while I'm taking my shower and have it ready for when I'm done get getting dressed-sorry if you think fixing me breakfast in bed is what i'd like- it's not-not a good day to find out the sheets have to get washed because we spill something-unless you are willing to throw them in the washer and make sure they get back on the bed(sorry I'm real-always too much to do the day before Christmas for a woman to make sure every thing is done for tomorrow-I try to have most of what I need done before today-so I can set back and be lazy today but there is always something that has to be done)and then after breakfast do the breakfast dishes for me and then just spend the rest of the day with me doing what ever at home with me. The most I think I would ask of you would be please- I forgot this in town would you mind going to get it for me so I don't have to go out and fight the crowds and I know that is asking alot from any man.Also come Christmas eve. don't make me feel guilty when I say I don't want to go to a church service for Christmas-not that I don't want to go- it just I spent many Christmas eve rushing to get 4 kids ready to go and then myself and that is no fun on your birthday-I would just like to be selfish and spend the nite at home sitting and enjoying a quiet evening w/the Christmas tree lights on and someone special to be with-that how I would enjoy spending my birthday.And if I'm lucking hopefully I will be spending my 50th birthday like that next year-my kids have all called or stopped and wished me a Happy Birthday so far today and next year I hope I won't have to spend it alone and be thinking as I look outside(it more like praying)hope that power line that runs across the driveway don't come down because of the ice that hungs on the tree above it is starting to push on it-been with out power once today but that won't be a easy fix if that comes down and it would be so nice if I had someone to deal with that instead of me.Ok now I'm sounding like a helpless female- give me a break it my birthday and I would do the same for you on your birthday help if something went wrong. Just hate the idea of having to call anyone to have to come fix it if it does come down-it's Christmas time and everyone needs to be with their family not out fixing down power lines.If every thing goes right I'm going to have 1/2 my birthday wish and that a nice quiet day and evening at home only thing missing is that someone special to spend it with.The greatest gift I could ever get for my birthday or christmas is something you could never buy but it would be the gift of your time and attention.UPDATE:12-29-2009 You know it funny when that ex(the 1 i call a jerk)stopped yesterday-just because he does not see me out w/anyone or never see any one car at my place that means i'm not interested in any one -he is so wrong-told him what i thought of him and where to go and what he could do when he got there- i wasted no words on him-he got my message loud and clear but w/u I don't understand the change in u-WHY??but for u i wish all the happiness in the world u do that when u really care about someone-u put that person 1st-u don't tell them where to go or what to do when they get there-u just have to be patience and understanding w/what is going on in the others lives because of the distance HINT u r still Mr Perfect in my eyes-I'm going to do the one thing u asked me to do once-thats just be me-and that all i ever will be

Chances of getting a date on this site is slim to none so prove me wrong--for starters finding someone that can carry on a simple converstation would be the best place to start--and then a date could be arranged--so it pointless in describing a 1st date--- I think I'm going to be proven wrong---have no problem with being wrong. Going to be interesting-can't wait to show you my part of Illinois and looking forward to seeing your part of North Carolina
