Exlax-enhanced chocolate chip cookies! I hear Smiley's cookies are "to die for"
Years ago I spoke to a much older friend in his 80's. He said that after a certain age, "Getting some action" takes on a whole new meaning. LOL
Exlax-enhanced chocolate chip cookies! I hear Smiley's cookies are "to die for"
1. I was a Navy brat and grew up all over the Pacific - Hawaii, Guam, Saipan, Fiji, Subic Bay Philippines, Yokohama and San Francisco.
2. I have been an attorney for 30 years and also done volunteer work with at risk youth acting as a mentor.
3. I love to cook and worked my way through college as a sous chef. I have also worked as a pipe fitter, overseas telephone operator and laborer.
4. I have been in a committed relationship with the same guy since 1990. He currently is in Argentina due to issues involving his visa to remain in the US. Repeal DOMA!
5. When I was 19 I tried to convince myself I was really straight and was involved with a woman. It did not work out needless to say. We had a son who is now married and works in Mexico City. I am a grandfather.
6. I love camping in the mountains and body surfing. I am passionate about Sudoku and crossword puzzles.
7. In Japan at the tender age of 15 I became a Buddhist to the horror of my very devout Orthodox Jewish grandparents and complete confusion of my nonreligious parents. I am very active in the Nichiren Shu Buddhist organization in the United States and Canada as a member of the Board of Directors. I also work in a Buddhist prison ministry where I visit and correspond with prisoners in California, Texas and other states.
8. I love classic film noir movies as well as comedies like the Marx Bros, 3 Stooges, and the Thin Man series. I love to read science fiction, history and religious philosophy. I am lousy at video games but love pin ball.
9. I have a really perverse sense of humor which occasionally gets me into trouble. I also have a tendency to speak my mind very directly which also can get me into trouble.
10. I own a house in Puerto Vallarta Mexico where I intend to retire sooner or later.
But Puerto Vallarta? I know it is beautiful, i have been there, but you could not offer me my weight in gold to travel, much less to live in Mexico at this time.
At the invitation of Stimpy, I have compiled my 10 facts and I hope I don't bore you to death. I am not a very interesting person. Thanks, Stimpy, for the invite.
1. I lived in Florida for 24 years and still have my home there, but I call Ohio home now. I moved back here in 2002 to take care of my mother who suffered from Alzheimers. She passed away last January and I inherited the home which I grew up in. I'll use Florida to get a warm break during winter.
2. I was married for 6 years and have 2 adult children. My ex remarried and lives in Oregon...I live in Ohio...the kids live somewhere in between (I forget where exactly).
3. I was in the army for 2 years and spent most of that time (13 months) in Heidelberg, Germany. Great tour of duty! (It wasn't Vietnam)
4. I have watched Titanic (the movie, 1997) 68 times. Something about that movie fascinates me. Maybe it is the fact that they separated the classes of people socially back then, but in the end they all became equal.
5. I am a fifth great-grandson of a Massachusetts governor. My brother, my son and I are the only descendents left that still carry his last name.
6. I died in March, 2004. It was only for about 5 minutes, but it was long enough for me to know that there is some sort of life on the other side of death. I was there!
7. My sexual passion has always been straight guys. I have a lot of good friends who are effeminate men, but never connected with one sexually. Maybe I didn't turn them on. That's why I love this site so much.
8. My favorite color is yellow. Don't know why.
9. I am a cancer survivor. I was diagnosed with melanoma in 2007 and had it surgically removed. In December I will celebrate 3 cancer free years.
10. I love rainy nights.
I've been reading your comments for about 2 months now, and you sound like a great group of people. I look forward to our time together. Thanks again Stimpy.
BTW Buckeye1,
My original posting on this same thread is on page 54.
Stimpy,
How did you know that I was looking for it? This is getting too weird. I'm beginning not to trust this computer anymore. Who else can monitor what I am doing?
Thanks for the info and I suppose I should restrict my comments concerning your 10 facts privately? (How's that for slaughtering the English language...a statement and a question all in the same sentence)
Have a great day Stimpy.
Robb (that's my real name, if you want to use it)
Clear as a bell, but it's very nice of you to be concerned that we might not have understood. It's obvious that you followed on from Stimpy's heads up regarding the location of his own first comment on the thread and were impressed by the telepathy that seemed to be going down between you.
Dear Robb,That would be correct. It's nice to meet you.
That would be correct. It's nice to meet you.
