See, now that is a person I would think about contacting. Not just the "areas of interest" specifically but it seems an honest representation as opposed to what I suspect most people put out: "their Sunday best" that doesn't tell "who" they are, stuff they THINK someone would want them to say. If there is a guy on the site that wants a girl with alfalfa in her hair, he will spot you :) Some of us prefer intelligent, capable and self reliant to "helpless". Of course there are people who want "helpless" because they want to serve a dominant/provider role.

You posted camping pictures in the past, might want to mention that in the profile too. And if a 'fancy' night out at the theatre (ie a play as opposed to the latest Pirates of the Caribbean movie) is occasionally desirable, that could be mentioned as well. "Mostly country but cleans up well for special outings" ;)

The problem there is we would have to know someone who lives near you and since none of us does live near you, that seems unlikely!

I love my old rickety house and really want to fix her up, but would absolutely consider relocating if the right person came along. Life is too short to not enjoy as much as I can and I prefer good company, so for the right company, I would consider alot......

You might want to suggest what sort of climates you would be willing to relocate to ;) If you like that hot central valley climate, you might not want those of us living in the frigid north sending guys a'calling.

If he is willing to venture out with me to take care of my goats in the midst of inclement weather and then wants to keep me warm himself once chores are done...... ;)

Well that opens up pretty much the whole populated world! Where is the "farmer dating site"?

Well if McDreamy would just get with the program!!!! My daughter said he and I would make a cute couple....

And nothing more from the one that asked for more pics the other day. :idunno

A couple of creepies that I blocked pretty quick and a couple non sparks...

I imagine there are a lot of pretty fish swimming in the same pond I am fishing in, probably much younger and cuter, with a lot less baggage than I have, though I am strong enough to carry my own.

Speaking of carrying my own baggage, guess what I just did???? ... I went out and faced a major fear of mine. I fired up the scary chain saw and cut up some of the pile of wood in the driveway. Still have a lot to go, and I still don't really know what I'm doing, (I reread the safety manual) but between the fear/adrenaline and whatever, from using the chainsaw for the first time, I gotta cool down for a minute. :th

FIRST time? Yep that is a "I REALLY gotta be careful" thing! I know some that are comfortable with them aren't as cautious as I am. I hit the chain brake every time I end a cut if I have to move a piece of wood. I've yet to cut down a standing tree, I've just cut a few that were already down.

I made a "stand" with 2x4s to get wood I'm cutting up off the ground (assuming it isn't too big and heavy to start with). Basically two Xs with pieces going between them to hold them apart. Better on the back and about the last thing you want to do with a chainsaw (other than hurting yourself!) is let it hit dirt. That will dull it in no time flat, and "no time" is about how long it takes the chain to go around a bunch of times.

Do you have a sharpening file? Like knives, sharp is safe (and faster), dull is dangerous.

And nothing more from the one that asked for more pics the other day.
Probably figures you are too young and pretty to be interested in him ;) Has he said how old he is?
