I am who I am. The good and the not so good. Though have to admit need to quit smoking.

Totally agree. If a person is willing to look me in the eye during a conversation it makes me wonder about them. That isn't the same as starring.

Compassion, seeing a person as a person, understanding, and fidelity

Hey, MM can I join your thread and brag about the 25 found on my first day out?

Can't wait for the summer...already planing out my trips.

1) Emotionally stable
2) Trust
3) Personal integrity

Those temps have arrived here...in fact some areas near by have already hit the triple digits.

Prefer that the natural beauty of a woman shine forth. A little is okay...but please don't use a putty knife.

My Bad...been tied up with work related items and some much needed R&R. Will be getting my package off this weekend.

Respectfully suggest reading who mentioned the Greater Metro Area of St. Louis. Also respectfully suggest caution in interpreting statistics in regards to metropolitan areas. It can often be misleading to look at a narrow area when a much larger area influences the area. JMO

Would suggest you check out the Greater Metro St. Louis area. It has over 100 different cities that make up the area. It is IMPOSSIBLE for the city limits of St. Louis to expand. This restriction dates back to pre-civil war days. The Metro St. Louis Area has everything from farms to inner city neighborhoods. Washington University is one of the top universities in the country. BJC and Washington University School of Medicine rank very highly.

Does crime exist there - yes. It also exist in every city in the country. The inter time I lived in the St. Louis Metro area not once did I see some one in the grocery carrying a side arm. That cannot be said for living in Arizona where it is a common site.

Well it came in two stages. When my fingures got caught in a printing press....and then the first time they changed the bandages. OUCH!!!!!!

Time off when there weren't a number of things to do.

Hope Cherokee is smarter. Blasted Penny won't drink of a water bowl put outside. Waits until she comes in to drink. A friend watched her for a couple of days at their house. Penny could not figure out how to use the doggy door.

Thank You. Have one with all three cats will have to look for it. They act like they don't get along....but often sleep on one of the beds together.

Some of the zoo. Unfortunately the Sammi, the Yellow Lab is no longer here. She is waiting at the Rainbow Bridge.

They did not identify themselves.

OH MY!!! Got my Secret Pal gift today. Thank You so much. I LOVE Ansel Adams. Have several of his pictures hanging in my classroom. This is better then accidentally discovering there was a show of his work while visiting the Belagio a couple of years ago in Vegas.

Thank You...So much.

Restraint Orders are relatively easy to get. All you need is to be able to show a pattern of harassment. Then when they contact you it will cost them.

I'm so sorry. Can so relate to your lose. Recently had to release one of my dog's Spirit. It is never easy.
