When not working I spend my free time with my family
                      and friends, oh yes, and my dachshund, Casper, who is very
                      much a part of my family. I enjoy many hobbies such as
                      painting, fishing, walking, especially in nature, swimming,
                      dancing, and lots of other fun things. I am a department
                      manager in one of the larger department stores in the
                      country. I have worked there for five years now and enjoy
                      it very much. Quite frankly, I don't think anything about me
                      surprises people!! Because I'm a nut. I'm quite happy with myself
                      but, if I could be someone other than me it would be Sophia Loren.
                      I have always thought of her as being a sophisticated sexy lady.
                      My hero... that would have to be my mother, she was one of
                      the prettiest, smartest and even the toughest women I have
                      ever known.

                     WHAT I LOOK FOR IN OTHER PEOPLE
                      I never take a vacation with a bunch of friends, but it sure
                      does sound like a fantastic thing to do.  However I do many
                      fun things with my friends.  I look for friends who are loyal
                      and fun. Honesty is a must and trust goes without saying. I
                      have many wonderful friends of different backgrounds and
                      diverse personalities.  I consider friends a valuable asset to
                      life's success.

                     THINGS I LIKE
                      I enjoy reading, but I don't have a favorite book. My
                      favorite movie is Titanic.  My favorite season is fall,
                      because of the gorgeous colors, and the wonderful
                      scents. My favorite time of day is evenings when I can
                      spend time with friends and family. Favorite place to
                      hang out is on the internet.

                      THINGS I DON'T LIKE
                      Things that turn me off are rude, inconsiderate people,
                      short, snappy responses, and arrogant people. The foods I
                      can think of that turns me off are rutabaga, chitterlings,
                      and other such gross stuff as this.
