Hello! Right off the bat, I want to tell you that if you are trying to add me JUST for the number of friends,and don't intend to talk to me, DON'T! I don't play that game. I am looking for REAL friends, ones I can have decent conversations with EVEN outside of FU. On-line friendships are great, and if they lead to an off-line one, even better. I know that the odds of actually getting to meet are extremely low, I always like to keep an open mind, since you never know what will happen. Stranger things have occurred! I DO have Skype and YIM, but not just anybody will get those names. That is reserved for ones I think have earned it. If you cause drama, or I find out you are not what you say, things will not get ugly, since you won't be on my list. Pure and simple!

I will talk to anyone that seems decent, but if you have an issue with someone else that is on my friends list, I won't get involved in your squabble. As long as you are civil to me, you will get the same in return. I TALK TO A LOT OF PEOPLE! What i talk to them about does not concern you, or I'd tell you. And I don't tell what I talk to you about. Pure & Simple - I don't kiss and tell. If that bothers you, it's up to you, if you want to stay a friend or not.

That being said! If you are still interested, and WANT to be a friend, you need to know a few things about me, so you'll know where I'm coming from. I am MARRIED, no kids, mid-50's, average height and weight. I have several hobbies and things that i find of interest. I do NOT talk about Politics or Religion, but any other topic, as long as I know something about it, is fair game!

I'm a retired Air Fore NCO, and was an aircraft mechanic by trade. Am out of that trade now, and am in Security.

I love animals and dogs are my favorite, but I also enjoy wildlife.

I had a stalker, a few years ago, so am a bit hesitant to show pics, but I will show them on other media, once we get to feel comfortable with each other. That way, I can control who sees them.

If you have any questions for me, please feel free to ask. Just be ready to answer a similar question, in return, since that is only fair. Thanks! If you've gotten this far, you might as well drop me a private message, if for nothing else, just to say a quick "hello!"

Am just wondering why people have to be so mean to others. It doesn't really do any good, and just makes the hater look more of a jerk than they already are.

I try to treat others, with the same respect that I feel I deserve. I can be a really good friend, if you want to take the time to get to know the INNER me. Just don't be hasty, to make any determinations, based on rumors. Jst a few common-sense ideas (which is not as common as you'd like to believe)

I want to be able to speak my mind, and if I feel I'm being censored, just because of a narrow-minded definition, so be it! In that case, I'm sure I'm well-adjusted enough to do without that particular location. If I'm comfortable wit you, you'll find that I can be a good frined and valuable ear. That is, IF you ake the time to find out about me.
