    I work in Mental Health.

    I love the outdoors, hiking, geocaching and going off the beaten path with my GPS.

    I crave sushi on a daily basis.

    I don't like check shirts.

    The last one was a lie.

    I don't wear short skirts and haven't in close to a year.
    I think sugar snap peas are disgusting.
    I don't wear makeup most days.
    I like to sew.
    I listen to heavy metal music most of the time, and when I want something less heavy, I listen to punk music.

    I am retired military and served in both the Navy and Army. Four and a half years ago I suffered a very bad spinal injury which required surgical repair and months of physical therapy. It took me a year to re-learn to walk normally again. My doctors told me to never lift over 75 lbs again, but I decided to return to power lifting anyway. I began lifting again with an empty bar and worked my way up to a 465 lb squat to below parallel despite mobility issues from the injury and permanent sciatic nerve damage.

    You have such a vietnam vibe - sorry if that's offensive because it is not meant to be.

    No offense taken. I am a little young for Vietnam as I entered the Navy in 81 at 18 years old.

    That'sok...I meant it in more of a doesn't quite fit the mold kind of way...not your AGE as you are only a couple of years older than me! Bit of a rebel with a heart? This is the feeling we have of our vietnam vets here in Australia and the vibe your picture gives is this.

    I own thousands of comic books.... I've read every single one of them and then I file them in order according to character, year, and age in a very fancy file so it is easy to find the again. I go to conventions for them. The whole comic book shabang.

    I have a thick southern drawl lol

    I am a black belt in karate, and taekwondo.

    Thanks for the kind words. I love Australia. I visited Perth/Freemantle for a couple of weeks back in 84. Perth reminded me a lot of San Diego with the climate and beaches.

    Rebel with a heart? Yes, I might fit that profile. My family has been hit hard by cancer over the years and between stints in the Navy and Army I grew my hair out and donated 17 1/2 inches to Locks of Love. It is too gray for that organization now, but once I can donate 20 inches I am going to give it to another organization which prefers gray hair for older cancer patients.

    I have terrible arthritis in my knees and had one replaced. I too am in constant pain. The doctor told me no running, jumping, etc. I now play racquetball 3 times a week and weight lift, LMAO. They don't know everything.

    I hold a black belt in Shaolin kung fu. I'm a cigar aficionado. Besides speaking seven languages, I study mathematics and physics. Irish whiskey only, thanks, neat.

    Hard to imagine most of these from a fashionista with a makeup obsession. And you'd never guess my age.

    Hands down, the best hospitality I ever experienced in the world was in Australia. I loved the people, the climate, and appreciated the cleanliness of the cities. Only one thing, despite great beer and good food, I never could acquire a taste for Vegemite.

    ahh...now see you should have had vegemite cheesies as your first introduction to vegemite - toasted bread spread with butter then a thin scraping of vegemite...covered in cheese then grilled...sooooo good.

    It is too bad that so many doctors do not appreciate the benefits of weight training. Squatting is a great lift for knee health when done for full ROM and with proper form. I guess in todays climate of people being sue happy they are afraid to recommend it as someone will hurt themselves by using improper for and then blame their doctor.
