Hey Kowboi, Thank you for the reply, and keeping the music alive.. I do love the lyrics and the harmony of the Indigos.. Some older songs like "Closer to Fine.. " Here are the some Lyrics to" Galileo": Galileos head was on the block The crime was looking up for truth And as the bombshells of my daily fears explode I try to trace them to my youth And then you had to bring up reincarnation Over a couple of beers the other night And now Im serving time for mistakes Made by another in another lifetime How long till my soul gets it right Can any human being ever reach that kind of light I call on the resting soul of Galileo King of night vision, king of insight I offer thanks to those before me Thats all Ive got to say cause maybe you squandered big bucks in your lifetime Now I have to pay But then again it feels like some sort of inspiration To let the next life off the hook But shell say look what I had to overcome from my last life I think Ill write a book I always sing this song so loud when driving by myself.. Latey ,I have been liking Steve Earle's "Lungs" Here is a taste of the lovely lyrics Well, won't you lend your lungs to me? Mine are collapsing Plant my feet and bitterly breathe Up the time that's passing. Breath I'll take and breath I'll give Pray the day ain't poison Stand among the ones that live In lonely indecision.

Over time I have developed a very discerning ear in identifying a quality performer...I guess that makes me a music snob :) Fodder for the discerning ear, Kowboi: We always had this in common from the first day I saw your profile and quickly noticed the James McMurtry lyrics... This morning my lineup.. and a few of my latest favorites.. Snow Patrol Brett Dennan- Heaven Matt Kearney~ Closer to Love Amy MacDonald- Mr. Rock and Roll Steve Earle - Lungs Indigo Girls Kings of Leon Fleet Foxes Thanks Zabrix, for choosing a topic most of us can comment on and share. A positive topic.. Your music has appealed to me at a different time in my life..

Dear Kbodley, I will say "hello" back! This summer was so busy for me, I hid my profile. I am coming back and occasionally visiting the forums also. They managed quite nicely without my input . It is nice to see you, hope you had a wonderful summer. Falling more in love with this area, my third year here. Today was dreamy, the changing colors of the leaves, while my roses are still blooming.. This summer was the best ever. I have been very busy, working, school and running dog rescue and fostering. Life is good in SE PDX.. Dog rescue has been rewarding in ways I could never imagine. I have three foster dogs. Peace and Light, LS

Older fit men shunning older fit women and chasing 25 year olds??? What's with that? Posted: 6/4/2009 6:07:33 PM
Once you descend into the pit of speculation, waxing philosophical about how men and how women are, you have gone below the sunlit surface where romance frolics and become one of the gloomy denizens whose tan fades to pale, whose once lilting gait slows to a shuffle, and whose songbird merriness has been replaced by an accusatory whine.

Why do lady shy away from IT (Information Technology) field? Posted: 5/31/2009 12:29:34 PM
Dear OP, I am a Network Engineer, I spend most of my time programming Cisco Routers and Switches. It is a very difficult and technical field, filled with acronyms..It takes complete dedication, concentration and constant education. I have never lacked for a job, Network Security is necessary for every single business. I have never regretted the four years I spent attaining this degree or the constant retraining that this field requires. I know of no other women in my area that do this. I was very mechanically inclined, sort of a tom-boy as a child, slightly dyslexic and ADD... I needed the difficult subject matter and Calculus to challenge. I do not have time to play any games. Except I excelled at Guitar Hero.. Peace,LS

Working Dates Posted: 5/7/2009 7:33:55 PM
There has been so much rain here the grass is very high. Last time the grass dried out enough to mow without jamming up the mower blade, was well over a week ago. A work date sounds wonderful. How does one manage to get the grass mowed in this area.. Sheese! I have large yard that is kind of field-like. It is going to be a major chore when it dries out enough to get out there. I do have a little garden that is coming along nicely! I have a project for a work date Peace,LS

Dating vs Interviewing Posted: 5/2/2009 3:37:11 PM
Dear Kat, My .02 worth, never worry about the country/city, eduaction/ worldly education, conundrum.. One of the best relationships in my life was country girl/ city guy. We did have a common goal though. He had moved from the Bay area to a remote location in Eastern Oregon. We had so many different perspectives to share with each other, our relationship was never boring, quite stimulating..In fact my favorite relationship. It takes interest in the other persons lifestyle, desire to work together. Farming is a healthy lifestyle. I know many people who haved lived in the city all their lives and now thier dream is to become self sufficient on a farm. They need people that know the lifestyle(farming, like you ) to generously show them the ropes... I haved lived both lifestyles Kat, the farming lifestyle is great and natural seeming, no end to hard work, rewarding, this is such an understatement, in order to be brief. I do understand your love for the lifestyle you live. What I am attempting to communicate is: If you have chemistry and communication with a man from a different lifestyle, do not limit your chances by discounting this man. He just has to want to learn,and be with you on the farm..Want to be self sufficient and healthy. It is not normal for people to be living in cages in the city, high density is pitiful. Many people I know in farming , have degrees, this is a lifestyle choice for many. This kind of relationship was catalyst for much continued growth for me. Go ahead and stretch......stretch... it is so good to come out of any thinking rut you may be in. Peace,LS

Dog barking situation - is there a nice way to handle? Posted: 4/18/2009 11:33:11 AM
So sorry you are having this issue. Ask the neighbors if you could help with the training, since they are not home.. A squirt bottle works wonderful , do a small discouraging sound and squirt the dogs from a distance.. Also treat the dogs.. they will associate your presence with happiness and the barking should stop.. Do you greet them and talk to them? Let them know its OK? My neighbors help me out. My dogs howl when I leave, A sad, sad sorrowful sound.. (like a pack of wolves)My neighbors yell at the dogs , and they stop.. Communication is key.. Good luck working this out. You could go over, tell them you would like to discuss this because you like the dogs and want to work on the solution... Do not call the police ...

Its only a stereotype ... not everyone agrees (Cougar show) Posted: 4/15/2009 11:30:53 PM
manther: Noun. Origin: the male form of a "cougar", man + panther= manther. An older man who frequents bars, lounges and clubs, never a genuine gentleman, ranging from ten to fifty years older than his victim. Usually carries an unusually fat wallet, wears too much cologne, and dresses younger than his age. May over-frequent the tanning beds and gym, have trendy/dyed facial hair such as a soul patch or goatee, may use the terms "baby", "sugar tits", or other female defamation when trying to pursue his prey. If balding, may never take off his ball cap in order to hide his aging hairline. Manthers always seem to evade the question of their age, previous or current marriages, children, and most things regarding their past (unless it has to do with thier old frat/college football days). Manthers prey on their younger victims in order to gain popularity amongst their fellow mathers, as well as for a sexual high. Some manthers are extremely good looking, stylish and somewhat gentlemanly. Others are old, drunk dirt balls with a lot of money and a feeling of self-entitlement. in context... 1. Damn Shelley, why do all the mathers have to whip out their wallets and expect me to go to bed with them? 2. Oooh! Look at that manther over there! Maybe I can get him to buy us some drinks; I need a sugar daddy

Tantra Sex: Is it worth the effort? Posted: 4/9/2009 12:46:22 AM
I have only experienced this sacredness with one partner. It was the closest I have ever been to true intimacy. The feeling is beyond my vocabulary. It raised the bar so much. I would want to accept nothing less from a partner. (Allowing them time to learn, hoping they would continue with education in this most personal area of our lives)

TwinkleInEye, The hiking idea sounds perfect . It meets criteria on so many levels. 1. Time is not wasted~ we are still getting fresh air and sunshine 2. We would be interacting on a more casual basis. 3. Easier to become friends without expectations. Meetup.com could be a viable alternative if nothing pans out on POF.. Peace, LS

I was a little concerned about my parents. I have heard there are gangs called "Silvers" or "The Q-Tips" roving around these golf courses. Have you heard about this? I have heard they are quite demanding and controlling. Also you may want to be careful during the winter months as the numbers increase.

Thank you so much for responding to my questions. This is what I am looking for , honest opinions. Knowledge is power and this will help very much! Your about 20 years late . Oh my goodness! the valley of the sun may be famous for having great sunny weather, however it's starting to reek like LA . Is there an issue with air quality?This stuff is great to know. It certainly is not on the Chamber of Commerce Website. i got out of the willamette valley back in the late 80s (too damn much rain) . The weather here has not changed here, it has been fairly bleak for months now. I do miss the sunshine. chandler has the worst water i've ever seen, it actually dissolves copper (rots plumbing fixtures from the outside . Holy Cow! Does everyone purchase bottled water? I will research this phenomenom. Yikes!

Do you recycle? Posted: 3/23/2009 11:07:52 PM
Dear Canuck In Oregon, Attempting to recycle daily. This is a battle at times. I have recycling service that comes weekly included in the garbage service cost. I am provided with one large container , all recycleable items can be placed together in this container. It was more difficult when evereything needed to be separated. I do take the plastic bags to the dog park for others to re-use. I donate used items in decent condition to the GoodWill I shop at the Goodwill quite occasionally, especially for dishes or small items needed for the home. I have found some exquisite items, including four down comforters(I also shop for loved ones)and several cashmere sweaters. This kind of post reminds me of what is important, to be more diligent,and walk the walk. Portand has impressed me with its focus and dedication to this matter also. There are many here making a difference. I think it depends on who you associate with. Volunteering at FreeGeek opened my eyes. Making a difference in my own area then reaching out. LS

You know what, after a long day of making a living in this world, chores and regular responsibilities, I hardly feel like discussing lively any of my policital or religulous beliefs, with complete strangers.There is enough going on IRL(In Real Life) that we need to care for. I can hardly take care of my own area and impact those important to me now. Besides most of us know it is not kosher. My screen name is known by enough close friends and co workers that one could be judged harshly because of their beliefs. It could prevent future employment, for instance, if your future boss did not agree with your particular take on spirituality... Believe me we do check people out that we have to spend many hours per week working with. Hopefully before wasting any money on training them. I am not the greatest writer, usually looking for some fun, light or interesting thread to post on. I like to keep my feathers smoothly groomed thank-you very much. There is enough ruffling going on IRL. I will continue to make a positive difference where I can IRL , aviod conflict with strangers whose opinion means nothing to me, differs from my own. to each his own, live and let live. Judge not lest ye be judged...Celibrate diversity... Make a difference where you can.. Peace and Light,LS

Dear Forum, I have known this guy for over two years now. We met on a dating site. We have become friends, IM occasionally even phone each other. At first I did not like him because I thought he was arrogant. There was also the fact he is not a good driver, (it used to be important to me...) The more I know him the more I think he is fantastic and I must have him... The problem is when he attempted to kiss me before, I rejected his advances... I was scared and it was too soon. He does not try to kiss me anymore. He has aske d me over for dinner, I went but was obviously nervous. I do stupid things like not take off my coat, pace. It is because thre is so much tension. He likes it when through transference (His cat Felix), I show Felix all the love I want to show him. What should I do? Peace and Light,LS

What if I don't want to be a cougar? Posted: 1/31/2009 10:35:15 PM
Greetings Califorums, Manther: A male cougar. Single, usually divorced, and at a minimum 10 years older than a cougar. "He did not care if the youth laughed at his ragtop corvette that even at this age he could not afford, for he was manther." Manther: Noun. Origin: the male form of a "cougar", man + panther= manther. An older man who frequents bars, lounges and clubs, never a genuine gentleman, ranging from ten to fifty years older than his victim. Usually carries an unusually fat wallet, wears too much cologne, and dresses younger than his age. May over-frequent the tanning beds and gym, have trendy/dyed facial hair such as a soul patch or goatee, may use the terms "baby", "sugar tits", or other female defamation when trying to pursue his prey. If balding, may never take off his ball cap in order to hide his aging hairline. Manthers always seem to evade the question of their age, previous or current marriages, children, and most things regarding their past (unless it has to do with thier old frat/college football days). Manthers prey on their younger victims in order to gain popularity amongst their fellow mathers, as well as for a sexual high. Some manthers are extremely good looking, stylish and somewhat gentlemanly. Others are old, drunk dirt balls with a lot of money and a feeling of self-entitlement. Lurking here quite occasionally, I could not resist this!

Naive little girls... Posted: 1/28/2009 12:43:06 AM
Kat. A younger woman may be attracted to an older man for many reasons, among them… Maturity Younger women often complain that guys their age aren’t mature enough. It’s a known fact that on the whole girls mature faster than boys, and even as adults in a certain age bracket, say the 20’s, women tend to be the more mature than their male counterparts. Guys their age often act like overgrown boys and seem to want to spend more time watching football matches and at the local watering hole, rather than talking to their woman or spending some quiet time together. So why not turn to an older man who would probably be more interested in similar pursuits and mature conversations? Father figure To some younger women, either from divorced homes or who have lost their father at a young age, it is an unconscious need to fulfill their longing for a father figure in their lives. While many discount this theory, it still does hold weight and has been found to be true in a number of cases. Indulgent Older men are often more tolerant and understanding than the younger generation of males. They can be generous – both as lovers and materially too. And women, who always love to be cosseted, can get an enormous kick out of being cared for and indulged. Experienced Most older men, simply by virtue of having ‘been there, done that’ are worldly wise and can offer invaluable advice to a younger, more inexperienced woman. Again, as lovers, what they may lack in terms of the energy and drive of a younger man, they can more than make up for in skill and expertise. The older man usually persued more agressively, inevetibly winning over younger competitors. I like the more relaxed, experienced , less jealous approach. Three cheers for your desire to become the Wildlife Biologist, Kat I say get your degree and do not worry about any relationship until you finish your degree!

What happened to the HIPPIES??? And their take on life?? Posted: 1/28/2009 12:01:25 AM
CurveyGirl Most of them are normal adults with jobs, etc. There are a few "flower people" left, with various doses of the 60's still in them. They tend to be concentrated in specific areas like Boulder, CO., San Francisco Bay area, Sedona, AZ, etc. There are little pockets around the country. National Geographic did a piece about a year ago on an actual commune still in operation somewhere in the midwest -- I think it was Kansas or Missouri. It was pretty interesting to hear some of these people talk about their journey to adulthood. Probably the library has a copy if you're that dedicated... The thing that strikes me about the 60's is that this huge burst of energy, ideas, creativity, and conflict did leave a pretty big mark on my generation. But it wasn't big enough to produce a real revolution in what it means to be a human. I don't think true transformation will ever be a mass-market phenomenon: there's just too much individual work and discipline involved. I think it's always going to be for those few who finally realize -- typically after many years of trying -- that the common-sense formula of "live for yourself" is always going to produce a spiritual bankruptcy in the end. Each person has to learn that themselves the hard way, it seems. Peace and Light, LS
