the tide roll away,,, Otis Redding

I guess I'm still here at the pond because,,, you just never know,,, a fishy might swim by and notice me sitting on the dock, with my line in the water. Hey now,,, it could happen! It is a fish pond, after all...

This "what kind of fish am I" thing is sort of interesting,,, catch of the day or something????
I chose a starfish ~~~~ even tho I read once they have not a single brain cell ~~~~ kind of like some people I've met,, still I liked them too,, go figure...
Now, am I saying that I see myself as a brainless little starfish? Suppose you'll just have to find that out for yourself...

I won't bother with a description, just view the pictures, that is what I look like. At this age, I doubt there will be much change,, I expect to remain short and fluffy for the rest of my life.
Regarding the full view photo I've included, yes, I know it's 10 years old. But, I can still wear the purple suit and I do read some complaints about full figured women posting only face shots ~ so there ya go ~
Right now I have some decent pictures posted and some others, not so great. Maybe the reality is somewhere in between the extremes.
I dislike BBW as a body type, I don't believe I'm beautiful and I'm sure not tall. I like SRG much better ~ Short Round Goddess!
I do fight the fluffy part, but it only seems to make me feel better, doesn't change the way I look.
Maybe in another life I'll be a 5'8" red haired beauty

Religion ~ well, I have some beliefs to get me through, but they aren't what most would consider main stream. We can talk about that some other time. But, I don't do church on Sunday mornings..

I've listed more than the recommended number of things under my interests, but I've sort of lumped a lot of things that I simply like there too. Some might even be considered hobbies.

I tend to be a blunt, plain spoken, person, I won't try to hurt your feelings, still if you are the overly sensitive type, this is probably where you want to click on the next profile. I'm just saying,,

I have a well developed sense of humor, a little risque maybe. I am even able to laugh at myself AND I'll laugh at you from time to time, count on it.
That doesn't mean I won't respect you in the morning. Ah, just kidding, of course.

About who I'm looking for and what I want. I'm interested in men within my own age group, I don't dislike men older or younger,, this is simply my personal choice.
I would like a long term relationship, not too sure about being married again or even living with someone, still,, I'm looking for more than a friend with benefits. The term "emotionally available" comes to mind.

Money ~ it's not what I care about, only that you be stable and self-supporting, as I am, I'm not looking for someone to take care of me, in that way.
I want a companion, a man I am comfortable with, in any situation, a real friend. Someone who will get up first and make the coffee on Sunday mornings, then try to beat me at a game of gin, while we have our first cup.

With the right man, I might even take up fishing again??? I doubt that.... I probably wouldn't go camping either,, sleeping on the ground, in a tent no longer holds much appeal for me. Nor do I want to travel around the world in a sailboat or ski the Alps.
I would go with you to see Yellowstone again, The Carlsbad Caverns or maybe a trip to the mountains.
Fresh snow on a winter morning, covering the boughs of Pinon pine trees,, that's beauty to me.

I'm a single parent of young children, a few years ago I adopted 4 of my grand-kids. Just so you know,, they're part of the package. Living my life takes up a lot of my time,, but that doesn't mean there is no room for a relationship. There are still some empty spaces to fill.

Wow,,,,,, I have no idea... something low key, pressure free, safe,,, A night of freaky sex?? Well,,,no,,thanks anyway..
Actually as a coffee junkie,,, a coffee shop meeting would probably work great for me, I like quiet environments and slow paced activities. I also enjoy small patio bars for a glass of wine,,, or a really cold beer,,
So, that should get us through the first meeting,,, then we can decide if there's going to be another.
