IIRC, besides cats, food and books are also considered perpetually on-topic
here :-)

One of the regular posters here, don't remember who, has this modified
Borg text in her (?) sig... Cannot remember all of it, but it started
with "We are the Borg of dyslexia..." and contained the laminated hind
quarters too...

Alas, the Native America ancestors are on his father's side - its
about the one fact we know about Joel's father. We don't know his
name, or his birthday, only that his father was half NA, half Irish,
in Far North Queensland in October 1974 (which suggests he may well
have been an American Vietnam Veteran - possibly AWOL), and wanted
Joel's mother to abort the pregnancy - which she obviously didn't.

Wow, Joel's a young pup! I didn't realize.

Yup, I'm a cradle snatcher. It seemed a big deal back when I was 27
and he was merely 21. It doesn't seem such a bid deal now I'm 40 and
he's 34.

LOL historically it's always been acceptable for older men to date
(much) younger women, but rarely the other way around. Also
historically speaking rich older men often divorced wives in favour
of the much younger trophy wife. Yet they call women who date/marry
younger men "cougers". Heh. You share the same interests and that's
what really matters.

Does this mean that I'm a cougar? I'm seven years older than Rob. He
was 22 and I was 29 when we married. People thought that I was after
his income in the military. I was hot after those awesome blue eyes
and cute tush.

Pam S.

Some people. Anybody that marries a young guy in the military is
definitely not in it for the money!

And besides, as you said, he's hot!

Jo

He sure was. Even now I can melt into those blue eyes of his. But then
I'm a sucker for bright blue eyes.

That was SUQURT (spelling wrong I'm sure) It went "We are BORG of
Dyslexia. Your *ss will be laminated" She took it off her postings,
much to my dismay, after my *ss was laminated.

You sound like me. I haven't done that in a while.

Plan a trip on how much I could scrape up on my credit cards and
credit line to see just how far away I could get (if I didn't have to
come back).

In real life I found out shortly after we moved here, that there is
really no where to go for the afternoon if you stomp out of the house
mad. One of the real disadvantages of a small town.

Jo

Library, park, mall, store, friend's house, back yard. I've done them
all. Rob and I love each other very much, but there are times when
one needs to stomp out of the house.

Pam S.

Yep, you used to live outside Sacramento too. But when we first got
here, there was no mall, I don't think the new library was here quite
yet, and whatever was, wasn't open on the weekend, back yard was dirt
and I didn't have any friends yet. Really sucked. Grocery store just
doesn't accommodate a good sulk. Especially frustrating when you are
already in the car and a few miles from the house and don't know where
to go next.

Jo

Parks. One of the good things about that area is lots of parks of
varying kinds. I didn't dare take long walks like I used to in El Paso,
no side walks where we were, S curved roads and lots of nice lovely
vermin like rattle snakes and cougars.

I STR it contained also something about "resistance is fertile", and
something else too...

Now that I know the area, the parks are great. Many new ones and
ones I didn't know about then. Now I can take my dog and maybe a
book and go sit at the dog park. Ours is huge, a Valley Oak
preserve. If one of us goes there, since the dog is gone too, the
one left home knows where you've gone, and to leave you alone. There
are places and parks where you can go to the river bottoms. Good
when you know which ones are 'open to the public' and which ones
don't welcome outsiders. Hundreds of miles of levees, many now with
paved bike paths that make them somewhat safer.

You are right, everyone needs to get out of the house and cool off
once in a while. Even Tiger Woods.
