Well, I chose the banana icon because I must be completely bananas for putting an ad out here! The Internet is a crazy place and hopefully this site will be more "a peeling" than others.
Okay, so I have taken out my little mini-novel; this is the "short" version of my profile LOL.
Quick update, December 2008 - Have you guys seen the Southwest Airlines commercial with the two-faced lady? LOL You know, the printed airfares say one thing and look great (the nice lady) but the hidden charges add up to something totally different (the crazed lady). Well, it just hit me. This is what it's like out here!!! The profiles say one thing and look great, but the "hidden charges" add up and the cold reality is that the profiles don't match the real "fares." Eewwwwwww. :)
-------------------------------------
Just a few details about me:
How We Treat Others Online: The Golden Rule. Awesome, isn't it? I think it applies to online communication as well as face to face communication. I would encourage everyone to behave as if the person who wrote to you were sitting right next to you. Maybe that person is not your type. In fact, odds are, that person is not your type. He or she could be too heavy, too thin, too tall, too short, too far away, too close, too old, too young, too, too, too something. And that's okay. But if our kind words and/or behavior online can lift up someone's day, why not pay it forward? Just my 2 cents worth.
Philippians 2:3: "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves."
Age: I notice that this site allows you to exclude people from writing to you for certain reasons. One of these is age. All are free to contact me.
Marital Status: I have never been married and have no children. Anything wrong with me? Yes, actually I look like a monkey and am addicted to organic bananas.
Well, that's only partly true.
Religion: I am a Christian and try to live my life by Christian principles. I am a work in progress. I will always be a work in progress! Hopefully, each day, I can improve my life in some way, and in some way make the world a better place. I don't consider myself to be "religious" if that makes any sense.
Health: I am somewhere around the 5'8" area and 155 - 160 lbs or so. I am also a vegetarian - almost vegan. It is important to me to try to live a healthy lifestyle because I believe that our physical, psychological, and emotional components are very much interconnected. Also, I am a vegetarian for more than health reasons. There is enough cruelty in the world without me adding to it.
Education: Mark Twain said, "I never let my schooling interfere with my education." :) I will just say I have a lot of potential "interference." :) However, I realize that there are those with very little education who are "smarter" and wiser than even the most highly educated. I believe that our education never ends. We are all fish in the "school" of life. :)
My Photos: Since this site seems to be sea-themed, I decided to include my friend the Dolphin. LOL These photos are fairly recent (several months old). Can you believe the dolphin tried to hog the shot in the one picture? :)
Answering Emails: I know it sometimes takes courage for people to send emails out here. In the past, I have answered all of my emails. Yes, ALL.
Right now, I might be a little busy for that, but I do promise never to delete any emails sent to me.
Miscellaneous: I just inherited $40 million dollars and I have one foot in the grave and another on a banana peel. Will you help me with my will?
