I still need to:

1. Go to Bhutan. (It's a place in the world. Not a place on Procta's body.)

Wow. . .I guess that's it. That's all I need to do. Weird.

Nice, I'm coming with you. I wanna check out Bhutan.

Simple request. I have faith youll achieve it and experience bliss! lol~



Wow--you are a wild woman!

Congrats on all of your success and ambitions!



And specific part of Proverbs?

Statistics say youre likely to die before your wife, lol.

Touching ambitions, seems youll have a great, healthy warm family life.



Mount IC? what & where is that?



Wow! All that AND "a bunch" of kids! I bow down!

All of it, a woman who will be my crown jewel, tidy the house, maintain an appearance of beauty, and strive to make me better. The Bible says that marriage is NOT 50/50. The man brings home the bread by the sweat of his brow, and the woman is submissive to the head of the household. Many women are trying to get in on the man's territory which creates problems that we dont immediately recognize with our concious minds. Above all, be a loving, healthy, faithful woman who will feed my hunger for companionship. <<< Like not bitching about what I do and when I can do it, but saying ok, how can I help you, and getting up with me in the morning to prepare the meal for me, instead of saying "theres something in the fridge go look" and turn over in bed.

Gosh, I love being pagan.

I do know there are christian ladies out there who will agree with you, though. And I would also say, there's a lot to interpret with the Bible and if you want to really get into the knitty gritty of it, I'd suggest learning the hebrew and greek roots of the passages you hold tightly to. My brother and I may disagree on a lot of things, spiritually, but I have seen how jewish roots has enhanced his faith and spirituality.

From my skewed heretical point of view, love goes both ways. I'd be glad to fix breakfast for my loved one (and I often do for my parents), but I'd also hope that any SO I have would take care to tend to me when sick, or get me breakfast, if I worked late and only had 20 minutes before getting to work. I think it more comes down to how you handle what life throws at you, than -what- life throws at you. If you get that idea down, then it's just a matter of taking each moment as its own and setting up towards a fulfilled life. Compassion FTW.

There are also plenty of us Christians out there who think nothing Jaws says should be taken seriously.

And Jesus spoke Aramaic. Just sayin'.

Some others I would like to achieve:

(1) Get married and have a successful marriage (no divorce). It's strange to see this on my list, b/c it never was.
(2) Get my PhD and teach at a university or do research.
(3) Buy a motorcycle, so I can ride again.
(4) Travel to Africa, New Zealand, Egypt and Hawaii.
(5) Fix up my home: Build a deck, paint the interior, get wood floors.
(6) Be around for my daughter to graduate college, get married and have children of her own.

You're a strong career woman--amazing.

Nice. But what's wrong with 400+ reps?

What do you want to write a book about?

Hopefully I'll become a successful trainer so I can put out a book of tips, tricks, and techniques.

Gotta say, though... I wish I had artistic talent so I could write and illustrate a graphic novel. Can't draw to save my life, though.

my question is, what will you do for her?

[JAWS22]

Put clothes on her, shoes on her feet, a roof over her head, food in her belly... basically everything she requires to survive and some. I am not gonna be a tyrant and have her as my maid servant, but I just want someone who isnt gonna just think she is at my level and can try to kick my in my ass like everyone elses wife in this world. Even if she does make more money (doubt it in my situation) I would still be the head. (Men were intended to work, not women. YES that is the truth, but **** it what ever)

Im all for women being able to have choices and life an awesome life, as there are many more of them than men in the world, so obviously they cant rely on a man for sustinance, agreed things changed nowdays, but someone who harbors the base qualities in a woman is where I am gonna start. (For yalls information I DO have a very nice young lady who meets that criteria, so everyone is not just an ass grabber) *No anger, no hate, no sexist*

[IzzyJ]

i'm just purely curious, i find it interesting, other peoples views and ideas, reminds us that we're all different.

I hope I can find a husband like you. Seriously, I feel exactly the same way.

Thats a good thing! Good to know there are still some young people who cohere with the origional terms of Marriage.
Would you care to join me for a cup of coffe? ^__^


EDIT: To avoid discombobulation, men do **** up, and sometimes the woman is right and the man should listen, a man should also seek his wifes council, for he is not a monarchc but a president, he has advisors, and he relies on theyre input to help guide his dicisions. So you cant let the man do everything in life, but you cant force him not to, you have to give him input in a way that he will accept it and cogitate it, instead of taking it beligerantly causing him to dismiss your proposal.

Ok, done. Lol.

[Stormiorsini]

5. If I ever slow my gypsy roots down enough, I would like to own a home! lol I think...but then I would be kind of teathered to one spot....and 'panick attack' from that thought...freggin gypsy spirit...lol
6. Finish and publish the now 2 books i'm working on.
7. Now that i'm working as a Dealer at a Casino I HAVE to see Vegas!
8. Sky diving!
9. River rafting
10. Outdoor camping adventures with the kids!! And snowboarding in Banff this winter!
11. Canadian citizenship so that I can be a dual citizen and travel with a Canadian Passport

Hey thanks Storm!

You're so varied and ambitious--love it. Who knows, maybe we'll run into the Dalai Lama at a bb event...he's got such a great sense of humor--I'm sure he'd love it...I can see it now. DALAI LAMA AT MUSCLE BEACH. lol

You must be a fun mama to your son!
Can't wait until I can come home to some hugs of my OWN. (thought about this today, when I was in a strict business atmosphere, remembering when I used to teach kindergarten and all the kids would run up and give me big group hugs, get finger paints and glue on me, and tell me how much they loved me :') ...I suppose I should've put that on my list...you still get hugs or is he starting to become "too cool" for mama??

Your fitness goals are...?

Wow--good luck going to Antarctica! I used to be obsessed with that place in grade school and wrote a massive (lol, relatively) research paper on it in the 5th grade. Then I got it back and had spelled the continent name WRONG every single time in the report.
Tears rolled off that report on every page. It was my pride and joy, and I adored Mrs. Tucker, and wanted her to love it...*no brown noser at that age, lol*
I did all the continent drawings/maps/illustrations myself and each page was scrawled with RED PEN... I EVEN DREW THE PENQUINS. :X *tears*

I hear its quite expensive unless you hop on a research vessel...maybe you can be an interpreter of ??? <--what do you know how to speak fluently?

How much money/assets do you consider comfortable, outta curiousity if you dont mind sharing? THis means very different things for different people...

HOw many kids, boys/girls would you like? <~~~BY THE WAY, READERS WITH KIDS, what ratios of boys vs. girls did you want and what did you get?

My fitness goals... I've been obese since I was like five years old. So, my dream goal is to be at 125 and have a good BF%, be healthy, eat healthy foods, etc etc. I'm closer now than ever. I weigh less now than I did in elementary school! (serious)

I've been researching different ways of going to Antarctica. It looks like the best bet is to somehow get a seasonal job and work in exchange for room and board. Hopefully by the time I get the resources and spare time to actually go, tourism will have picked up a bit and there will be better options available. Sorry about your report, btw. It included penguins, so I know it had to be good.

I'm in school now attempting to become an ASL (American Sign Language) interpreter. I have one more semester and then I sit for the state exam. It is possible that a wealthy client could one day decide to take a trip to Antarctica and ask me to come along as his/her interpreter, paying for my trip in exchange for my interpreting services. One can dream, right? *sigh*

By financially comfortable I mean I want to be able to pay off all of my debts, easily pay my bills, and have money left over to put in savings and/or buy extras. I'm not the type to want a huge house, lots of cars, or excess of anything really (except stuffed animals).

I'd like 2-4 kids, I think. In an ideal situation, I'd have an equal number of boys and girls, but I think I'll just see what happens.

You can do all of these things--whether on your own or joining organizations in the works.
I just started supporting a Ugandan charity that gets young orhpans out of the fields working, and into school with meals and clothing... damn, feels so good to be apart of something greater than my own pampered American life...
