Sure is Quiet!

I am wearing the scarf around my neck. The glasses are new. After my hike Thanksgiving day which I am still pretty sure that I did see a owl in the tree I decided I might want to go and get my eyes checked. Never ever did I ever think I would go from no glasses to glasses all the time. Not only could I not see distance but I also could not see up close. Go figure. Now I wished I had never gone to have them checked out.

The girl next to me with her famous tongue is my high school friend. We were like sisters back when I was 16 or so. The girl on the far right is my past daycare mama and her cousin.

gee elkie, that gives me idea's but I could just see my guys pulling a load back and there would be a bird (leaf, plastic bag, sunbeam, moonbeam you get the drift?!) and off they would go, scattering the load behind them as they haired across the field!

Elk Supprised you didn't have a pic of a dog on a power, churning butter or running the washer.

My own perspective is that one cant show enough pics. I would think you gals would do good who are trying these dating sites to put in pics of you both sexy as heck, AND many of you doing your homesteading chores. That rounds it out visually for the guys. Talk about your homesteading interests, so that prospectives KNOW that your the gal in the pics, and titillate him occasionally about the sexy aspect of you.

As Willow and others have occasionally said, There HAS to be a physical attraction

I've gotta ask...what's the deal anymore with people sticking their tongues out way past their chins when a picture is taken? Looks like Gargoyles on a castle gate.

Is it supposed to signify something...at all? Seriuosly?

It is her famous tongue pictures. We joke that her tongue has a zip code all of its own. We have done that since we were 16 and we decided last night we never really ever grew up.

Trust me when I say a zip code all of its own.

Elkie!! You do realize that you are a gem, right?

I tried a dating site for a while; actually a couple of them. One of them kept telling me that a certain woman was just right for me, but she was only 29 years old. I settled on POF, which costs nothing but does no screening.

As a result, I got invitations from people who greatly misrepresented themselves. One, who said she was a "nurse" turned out to be an aid in a nursing home, lacked a command of the language and showed up for a dinner date in flip-flops and cut-off jeans.

Then I called a lady who simply wanted to get out of the house for an evening. I said to myself "What the devil; I can be there and back in a day; I'll call her for lunch". Turned out she was a better catch than I am.

Ox, I always do love and appreciate your dating stories and advice.

POF is everywhere and if I ever did try another site that is the one I would go with. I know friends of mine have met on sites and are happily married. I just can't see someone wanting to go build a house with me in a town that is very very small and way out in timbucktoo and then work on building a business. That is just a awful lot to put on someone.

I don't know what the heck I am doing as far as dating. I let people get a bit close then I back away. I guess I am just gun-shy.

Just think of the hound dogs who are not taking up your time and space trying to play your heart for self gratification. Or worse, actually succeeding. That BS will leave a girl jaded. Remember you are looking for 1 man without trying on all.

PoF, as I call it Pile o' (stinkin') Fish as a free site seemed to be full of opportunists NOT looking for relationship. Kinda' like dropping bait at the Big Mouth Bass hole. What you'll end up reeling in is scum sucking bottom dwellers and big mouth bass holes.

I'd rather go salmon and steelhead fishing. There's many ways to successfully fish for them. I can put a nice lure and a walking sinker on my line and enjoy doing other things along a beautiful spot on the river, aggressively cast the trench to floss or make one mad enough to strike, or go out on the ocean for King Salmon and deal with the sharks, or show up at the fish camps and marina with raspberry jam, cobblers, pies, fresh and frozen berries and have people throw salmon at me without having to bust out my tackle.

Quality over quantity.

And I'm probably not making any sense........

Cindilu can I bring my tractor and come to visit.

Ok, she has a record tongue. But, why are all these OTHER people doing it? I see pictures of a bucnh of kids together, they all have their tongues sticking out. Buncha stars on TV, same thing. So really, WHY?

I mean good grief, my grand-daughter's wedding pictures even have people doing that!

Anyone know?

I could venture a guess as to why the tongue sticking out in pics looking for someone, BUT I hope to get of the censored list before I die, so I digress

No clue either, I see them as well but I am clueless. Christy is famous for hers and so it is something she never grew out of. But we did have a good time, danced like crazy, stuck out our tongues, and laughed and caught up on old times.

I thought we all stuck our tongues out, for pictures, then we got spanked,, &
Then would refuse to smile for the next one.

Just part of growing up.

Now we to it to be cute & get a laugh
