Blonde....Often, busy successful women such as yourself

Feel this way. I hope you won't shut the door completely to "men" or a relationship. I know they can be a pain in the ass but if you found the right one, he could be a blessing and a wonderful asset to your life.

We all need a snuggler on those cold nights. Can yu send me any other info about the guy? Does he have a dating profile somewhere? If so, send me the link to it.

I will paste this comment into your comments since I know you only have a few minutes to blog each day.

Hi Gorgeous........how do you always know? Well it is just long distance emailing for the moment...but he seems like a promising candidate.....do you get any vibes? He has tattoos and rides Harleys and is successful......I thought I was done with that type......I don't know....love life for me has been non existant for so long, I'm not sure what I want anymore as far as men go.

Please don't! I'm enjoying your comments...

There's no need for restraint when you hang out with me...I love to go on new adventures and try new stuff. I'll try not to get you in trouble but can't promise anything except that we'll have a great time!

Ah, okay, courtesy noted! I'll exercise more self-restraint in commenting then, lol.

Jayman...I only did it as a courtesy...

Didn't know how busy you were and whether you would re-visit my blog. You don't really need to do that.

btw, I checked out your website...It's pretty cool..did you build it yourself?

Blox 004 ~ Gateway to Chaos!

Yeah, I just clarified the camera costs on my blog; the figure was $65 USD... But doesn't it seem kinda redundant to answer you on MY side, then again here on YOUR side? LOL.

Decshak...The area where you live is definately a big factor

IN getting good pay. Here in North Dallas, you can get around $14 to 16 per hour if you know Quickbooks. The temp agencies in this neighborhood pay about $11 or 12 per hour for general office work.

I'd much rather work a disaster though.

Passion,

Jayman...I must have misread...

Thought you said you paid $65 bucks for that camera. I really wondered how you could get such quality pics with that priced camera... Must have been scan-reading!

I'll go over to your blog and answer the question about etiquette.

Office Cubicle...what was your crime???? LOL

lol, my crime?... ummm, feeding my internet habit with a computer job? haha... i saw the latest entry for the photoshop blog, not bad!... gives me reason to share more of my photoshop remixes :)... as for canons, it's not particularly cheap, but you're right, compared to the Canon 5D, the 350D is a stroll through the park, lol... thanx for the comment!

so what's the comment etiquette? reply to a comment on your own blog? or on the commenter's blog?... that's one issue that LJ solves beautifully: a comment-upon-comment tree that can go on indefinitely!

Hi Passion, just be back in half an hour, bur reply, I must before leave

What do you think? Do I look that innocent that somebody mustn't have already taken a shot at me? But I am still alive. Hahaha

But seriously, I've been ganged up twice, leaving me with 20 stitches in my skull, the sum total of stitches on those two occasions. I was alone and they, six once and five, the next.

Chilitree & Shams...Richard is my ex-husband that I had to stay with

For the past 13 months bec there were no hurricanes in the US last year. Sheryl is his new girlfriend in Kentucky...{we live in Dallas}

He's fallen in love so I will be moving soon - Do you have a spare bedroom? LOL!

Passion, here is a joke on my wife shooting us both..Substitute F for B

Could have been worse!           (Read Bhaskar for Frank)

Frank always looked on the bright side. He would constantly irritate his friends with his eternal optimism. No matter how horrible the circumstance, he would always reply, "It could have been worse." To cure him of his annoying habit, his friends decided to invent a situation so completely bad, so terrible, that even Frank could find no hope in it.
On the golf course one day, one of them said, "Frank, did you hear about Tom? He came home last night, found his wife in bed with another man, shot them both and then turned the gun on himself!"
"That’s awful," said Frank, "But it could have been worse."
"How in the hell," asked his bewildered friend, "Could it have been worse?"
"Well," replied Frank, "If it happened the night before, I’d be dead now!"

SO YOU CAN SEE THAT I CAN ALWAYS SEE THE BRIGHTER SIDE OF ANY OF MY PASSIONS.

Passionflower...sounds a bit complicated as I do not really know who's who.

I will be reading you more in future... and thanks for the comments you left on my blogs, they are much appreciated.

Okay, okay....

Here you go...open your arms and I'll snuggle up next to you... and we'll hug   till your wife catches us and shoots us both...

Of course, you're right about that Bhaskar...

And expert HUGGER would know alot about "hugging"...Duh! It's a no-brainer, right???? LOL-

With hugging, I find that it's best to stay in practice.

Did not know you were running after me, Bhaskar...

I will slow down so you can catch me...how's that???? LOL-

I only post about 2 times per day. I used to write more but have too many other things going on right now. Hugs...

You write damn sweetly, " I wish them good (not)". Tell me how come you're such a voluminous writer that I keep falling back trying to chase you, although I still am a good runner. Guess it's the distance from here to Dallas.

Well, the fact that New Orleans had been destroyed

Was kind of a downer too! But other than that...LOL!

posted by Passionflower on February 8, 2007 at 8:14 PM | link to this | reply

Wow! I never realized that Mysteria!

You could go out with me so it wouldn't affect your ability to get disability...{??? did I say that right?}

I'm make certain that you got frisked by a cute army guy! plus we would get alot of work done too.

We had a huge tent city in New Orleans....Algiers. The govt hired all those famous chefs from the French Quarter to cook for us.

It would have been great if we hadn't had to sleep on army cots...LOL!

Passsh! You have so many good ideas! I would love to work for FEMA

I'm definitely qualified!  I'm sure we would have a blast and get a lot of work done.  It would be great to contribute in such ways. 

I know what you mean about the hotels when available.  I would get deployed to wildland forest fires and the army would set up tent cities for us.  Like I said I've got a lot of stories that I hope to share some time.  Never got frisked by the National Guard though!  But it is on my list of things to do! LoL

posted by mysteria on February 8, 2007 at 8:06 PM | link to this | reply

Mysteria...if we get a good spring disaster...

Which according the the Climatologists, we should -- (el nino is causing huge snowfalls and lots of rain...much colder temps...severe tornadoes)

You should come out to wherever I'm deployed to and spend a few days. You could share my hotel room (if I have one! LOL) and we could work together inspecting damaged houses.

I really, truly believe you'd enjoy the work. It would be sort of like a vacation, only without the FUN!!!

posted by Passionflower on February 8, 2007 at 7:45 PM | link to this | reply

I would love to hear your stories Mysteria...

That's one thing I miss about being deployed...so many rare and unusual things happen to you. Today, in class, I told the other inspectors that I really missed being frisked by the National Guard....

Everyone laughed as we recalled old disasters we'd worked. We were also comparing injuries we had recieved in past disasters...isn't that funny?

I DO hope you get to go back, Mysteria...I know how much I've missed not getting to work for so long. I may still get to go out to Florida and work those tornadoes that hit last week.

posted by Passionflower on February 8, 2007 at 7:41 PM | link to this | reply

Passsh I have so many stories from that job! I could go on and on about

it.  I got it straight out of school and stayed with it cause it was so much fun!  I did many things most people esp. girls don't get to do... I, like you did emergency response all over the state.  One day I'll be back I'm sure.  I share more stories through the blog someday...I've been a lackadaisical blogger!

posted by mysteria on February 8, 2007 at 7:37 PM | link to this | reply

Wow Mysteria...I'm so impressed!

I'd love to find a company that would train me for free. Of course the FEMA classes are free but my Quickbooks class was not.

I sure do hope you get well enough to go back to work. I actually LOVE working-- It gives your life structure. I do so much better when I'm working regularly. I think anyone does.

MY FEMA job is mostly men and they do favor men when it comes to deployment. But I like to think I can work circles around any of those guys! I bet you can too!

{twenty years??? you're way too young to have worked anywhere for 20 years!}

posted by Passionflower on February 8, 2007 at 7:25 PM | link to this | reply

Hi Passsh...Class can be so dull. I usually sit in the front cause i am

easily distracted.  Before i got sick i worked for almost a twenty years for the State of Cal. Dept. of Transportation.  It was a great job, male dominated, but i think i fit in pretty good.  I had to go to many many classes from first responder courses for HAZMAT situations to Excel computer classes.  They spend SO much money on training!  Sheesh!

Now I'm on disability and claim to be a starving artist.  One day I hope to be well enough to go back...they are saving a spot for me...

Just sharing some life stuff w/ my sissy...

Hope you are well...

We've been living together as husband and wife for the past 13 months due to the fact the NO hurricanes made landfall in the US this past year.

We've gotten comfortable - like when we were married.
