OH, that touches a sore spot for me. I was abused by both parents, physically, verbally, neglect, you name it.
I'm an adult now, and both parents are dead, but I'm stuck with the memories.
Looking back, every single relative knew, and yet no one stepped in to help me. |

The Midwest -- Illinois, Indiana, Ohio -- has some of the most affordable real estate in the country. The coasts are expensive.
I'm in Portland, Oregon, and house prices are shooting up here as Californians are migrating north. That 1,611 square foot house would be $250,000 - $280,000 here. |

| I'm in Portland, in the beautiful liberal Pacific Northwest, but you're too young for me. And besides, with your skinny and 34C wish list, you have ruled out skinny and 36C. :lol: I get the impression that you have high expectations. If you do find a girlfriend, I hope you realize that she won't com... |

I'm not patient enough to read all 17 pages. Sorry if this is a repeat.
It's easier to get forgiveness than permission. |

Like it or not, people judge other people by the way they look. We do it too.

Favorite animal? Dolphins. Think Flipper.
(Do people outside the U.S. know who/what Flipper is? The dolphin star of a 1960's TV show.) |

How many engineers does it take to cut a birthday cake?
Four, at my company.
It really happened, just a couple weeks ago.
I love engineers, but I can sure understand how those engineer jokes get started. |

| Yeah, send me a PM when you're in town. We can go have coffee at one of the coffee chains, a microbrew at one of the brewpubs here, or a shake ( I think there's a burger chain here that makes good shakes). |
