You are so kool, Jessica. Tell me you aren't just some troll.


I'm way better looking. lol Sorry... no, I'm not a troll. Does someone
here do that?


All the time. I wouldn't put it past one of these dweebs to sock up as a
woman just to try to get my goat.

I had assumed you were 47 because of your sig. So what is the 47 referring
to?


It's from a proof that all numbers are equal to it. It's a college
thing.


You ARE young. Just a baby. LOL!

Wonderful attitude. You'd make some sailor an excellent mate.


As long as I don't have to do the heavy lifting, I can do most things
with good instructions. I went sailing on a friend's Catalina 30 last
summer and got to crack up the sail, which was a lot of work, but fun.


Catalina 30 is a nice boat. It shouldn't be hard to raise the mainsail if
the captain has the good sense to have the boat pointing into the wind. If
not it can be a strain.

Agreed 100%. Oftentimes a bunch of constant jabbering is a sign of
insecurity and weakness. Myself, I am the strong silent type.


Hopefully not totally silent.


Hardly. Can't you tell from how I go on and on when posting? ;-)



I don't time myself... just ride to work out the stress. Definitely
padded! Definitely! I usually don't wear much of jersey, due to the
warm temps in the summer. I've had a few scrapes... all due to the
fricken drivers. They don't even look! When I was little, I broke my
clavicle from a fall. If you've never done that, I don't recommend it.


I've been down on the pavement more than once but have been lucky enough not
to break anything. Just bruises and road rash which is bad enough. There are
many inattentive drivers these days and getting to be more and more what
with the morons texting, etc. Here in Florida they run people over, cause
big multi-car wrecks and then they flee the scene. When the police catch up
with them they end up being illegal aliens, fugitives from justice,
suspended licenses for DUI's etc. They'll kill somebody and not even feel
remorse about it. I had some road-raging fool, after I flipped him off for
almost hitting me, stop up ahead of me (right in front of the Sheriff's
substation), jump out of his car and take a swing at me (I ducked). The cops
saw it all so they ran out, grabbed him, slammed him up against the trunk of
a squad car and cuffed him and stuffed him for assault. The moron had to
plead guilty and he paid a hefty fine and had to take anger management
classes. Sometimes there IS justice.

Definitely not perfect... however, I won't go into that aspect of my
personality. lol I probably should have studied more in college, but I
was on an athletic scholarship.


What sport? Female athletes are hot!

I'm not terrified of sharks. I just don't want to be stupid about it.


Smart to never underestimate a shark. They can and do kill people.

Most women have cold feet. LOL! The v-berth is great for sleeping but not
so good for sex as there isn't a whole lot of room to spread one's legs.
Thats' why a 5'4" woman is the perfect size for 5'10" man and a 6"4"
v-berth
because her feet don't go down far enough to get into the smaller angle at
the point where the man's feet end up.


Well, I'm not going to comment about room for sex.


:-(

Like I said, I'm not perfect... at least according to your
requirements. I'm 5'5". BUMMER!


I won't quibble about an inch or so if you don't either? LOL!


Stove top... yeah, sorry. Don't know much about boat equipment names.
You can put a frying pan on it right? That'd work. I use minced
garlic.. not the cloves. Makes for a more even taste. Gotta have
coffee. That's a minimum requirement, or you wouldn't want to know me.
I have a Barista I got second hand. Took it apart and cleaned it and
it works fine.


A nice stainless steel frying pan is my main cooking pan. I even cook
spaghetti in it. The frying pan definitely fits on the stove.

Don't know what a Barista is other than some d00d behind the counter in a
Starbucks. I use one of these things - the Venus model.

Only makes one mug at a time but it's delicious.


Real name? Or are you a character from Beyond the Poseidon Adventure?



It's a nom de plume.
