Pain is weakness leaving your body...fall down 7 times, get up 8...if you knew you could not fail, what would you do tomorrow? Do not forget your family and neighbors in these trying times, no man is an island, and a lotta really good people are hurting right now--remember: we heal by healing =)

Need a partner to >>> concerts, dinner, lunch, coffee, travel, stay in/cook, go out/not cook, chicago, toronto, ann arbor, windsor, movies in, movies out, car shows, antique shows, NO cat shows, flea markets, eastern market, yard sales, ebay, craigst list, ur wish list, my wish list, ending poverty & world hunger ...ummm...kite flying, butterfly catching...ok, i'm gettin carried away here... (um, no, i'm not serious about the butterflies and the kite flying....lawdhammercy)

General question: Ok, so if EVERY pic a person has on here was taken IN the mirror on their phone, I mean, come on, don't they have any friends? family? er...self-timer on a digital cam? Sorry, it was buggin me...

In the unexpected wisdom of Napoleon Dynamite: "..you know, like nunchucku skills, bowhunting skills, computer hacking skills...Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills..." Guess it's all relative...

On here, people are willing to invest the absolute MINiumum (note zero $$$ invested) in finding a match. And we somehow think we will find THE person whose trait-matrix exactly matches the one we're in search of...get real, that person doesn't exist...it's about keeping a rhythm and accepting imperfection in others...


Things that turn me on to a woman u may not think would:

(FYI...these are NOT requirements...i've been getting that comment)

1) Willingness to be kind to strangers with no expectation of reciprocation
2) Secretly watching you engage the elderly person in line at Krogers in conversation
3) You can drive a stick REALLY well...downshift in the turns and everything
4) Your car is spotless...inside and out(this one seems to prompt serious discussion)
5) You don't have any stuffed animals in the rear window of ur car
6) You only wear pantyhose when forced to do so.
7) You turn me on to music i've never heard before
8) You detest greed, sloth, and bigotry
9) You've grown to trust ur dog's opinion (more than family and friends)
10) You have kissed so much ur lips were swollen the next day...

Well, my female friends always say the first date should be short. Understandable, right? If u are itchin to get away, ur not locked into a 3-day Loveboat cruise, OR, you ARE into them, but having agreed to a brief first meeting, you regrettably part only to wait anxiously for the next meeting...so how 'bout we knock off a liquor store and use the money to tattoo each others name on our butts?
