I have been using AuroCAD 2011, Revit, Solidworks, and FeatureCam (the last 2 are for machining).

X2 This is the best way to wake up...

My computer is online all the time (24/7 usually) but I am only at it 4-5 hours a day maybe and that is including the time I watch tv programs on it. I am not sitting at it for that long, it might be 30 minutes at a time. Like I will come here for maybe 10 minutes and then I go do something else (like I need to throw clothes in the washer and then go for a 5 mile run here)...

BTW, I am about to graduate with an Associate in Drafting at the end of this semester. What AutoCAD are you using, the REVIT is nice...

I do not know about anyone else but I do not search for friends, friendship is something that just happens over time. On here there will people that you will notice who post on the same threads as you do (either before or after your post) and they will be saying the same thing as you are thinking. Maybe they said it good enough that you do not feel that you need to post because it is like you already posted...lol. This may not be the "friendship" that you are asking about though, this is more of an online only friendship. With guys nothing really needs to be said, IMO...lol Like me or don't like me, that is not my problem...but if you go around asking guys to be friends you might find some are turned away because of miscommunication (homophobic).

I have a cartoon version of the old A-Team van...

Well the original poster might be gone, but the thread is still here. As I was doing my five miles today this topic popped into my head. When you are on a treadmill you have the comfort of giving up when ever you want, but if you are out in the real world for a run then you have to push it out and keep going especially if you are making a big loop. Plus on a treadmill you are still stuck in the house (if it is your own) and that is what I like to get away from and just clear my head...

I keep performance auto parts catalogs by my toilet, for those times it is going to take longer than normal I can at least dream. Otherwise I do my business and get out, life is too short to waste time in there...lol

Do you have a vacuum on your sewing machine? Just curious but I have done plenty of sewing but I have not seen a vacuum on any sewing machines. Most of the machines I used though were the larger ones because I was doing automotive upholstery...

You are always taking a chance when you meet people online. A few years ago I was talking to a girl online, she lived right down the street from me. We seemed to hit it off and she wanted to come over to my house and meet me in person so I finally agreed. It was nothing special, just talking and watching movies but as we were sitting there I hear a loud banging on my front door. I go and open it to find a very large guy standing there yelling "What is my WIFE doing here!?!" He drove by and seen he car in my driveway. She forgot to mention that she was still married!...lol They had talked about getting a divorce but they were still living together with their kids and all so it was only in her head that they were not together I guess...lol.

If he is still asking for another date he might be kicking himself for the missed opportunity... But 3 years sounds a little psycho...lol

TEXTING! It might have started out as something useful but people have over used and abused texting so much that it is annoying now...

Looks like the elders are giving the youngin's a bad time...lol. Your profile and pics look fine, just join in on the chats here and get your opinions out there so people can learn about the real you. Good Luck

Age is just a state of mind, I have dated older and younger than I am and things were fine at the time... but obviously they were not good enough of a match or I would still be with them. The only thing that is iffy would be the ages that people think you are father/daughter or mother/son but that is just me. What ever floats your boat...

Hiking or even jogging outside is much more free feeling, you get a more random hills and plus you get to meet people. I do a 5 mile loop which takes about 45 minutes usually but some days it takes longer depending on the people that are out and wanting to talk...lol.

Education level should not discourage anyone, someone with proper education should know not to talk over their audience. People who just use the big uncommon words all the time thinking that they are impressing anyone usually falls short since the other people do not understand what they are even talking about...they end up sounding like "Charlie Brown's Teachers"...lol.

The person who has educated themselves more than likely will not have too much in common with someone with a lower education, this might be fine for a quick hook up or a just physical relationship but for a more meaningful relationship then you would want to find someone closer to your own education level, in my opinion, or at least someone on their way to an education.

LOL... A friend of mine sent me that in an email and I thought it was too good not to share...

*Because I'm a man*, when I lock my keys in the car, I will fiddle with a coat hanger long after hypothermia has set in. Calling AAA is not an option. I WILL win.

* Because I'm a man*, when the car isn't running very well, I will pop the hood and stare at the engine as if I know what I'm looking at. If another man shows up, one of us will say to the other, 'I used to be able to fix these things, but now with all these computers and everything, I wouldn't know where to start.' We will then drink a couple of beers and break wind, as a form of conformity.

* Because I'm a man*, when I catch a cold, I need someone to bring me soup and take care of me tenderly while I lie in bed and moan. You're a woman. You never get as sick as I do, so for you, this is no problem.
_______________________________________________

* Because I'm a man*, I can be relied upon to purchase basic groceries at the store, like beer, milk or bread. I cannot be expected to find exotic items like 'cumin' or 'tofu.' For all I know, these are the same thing.

* Because I'm a man*, when one of our appliances stops working, I will insist on taking it apart, despite evidence that this will just cost me twice as much once the repair person gets here and has to put it back together.

* Because I'm a man*, I must hold the television remote control in my hand while I watch TV. If the thing has been misplaced, I may miss a whole show looking for it.....though one time I was able to survive by holding a calculator.....

* Because I'm a man*, there is no need to ask me what I'm thinking about. The true answer is always either sex, cars, sports or work problems. I have to make up something else when you ask, so don't ask.
_______________________________________________

* Because I'm a man*, I do not want to visit your mother, or have your mother come visit us, or talk to her when she calls, or think about her any more than I have to. Whatever you got her for Mother's Day is okay; I don't need to see it. And don't forget to pick up something for my mother, too.

* Because I'm a man*, you don't have to ask me if I liked the movie. Chances are, if you're crying at the end of it, I didn't ...and if you are feeling amorous afterwards....then I will certainly at least remember the name of the movie and recommend it to others.
_______________________________________________

* Because I'm a man*, I think what you're wearing is fine. I thought what you were wearing five minutes ago was fine, too. Either pair of shoes is fine. With the belt or without it, looks fine. Your hair is fine. You look fine. Can we just go now?
_______________________________________________

* Because I'm a man*, and this is, after all, the year 2011, I will share equally in the housework. You just do the laundry, the cooking, the cleaning, the vacuuming, and the dishes, and I'll do the rest...... Like wandering around in the garden with a rum and coke wondering what to do.


*This has been a public service message for women to*
*better understand men*

Anyone who has been divorced should understand it...lol

At 33 I know not to put all your eggs in one basket, the bottom can fall out at any time...lol

LOL...Same here!
