Hi, hot rabbits! We're a hot couple and we're on Yakima. My name is Maria-isabel and I am 31 years old. My guy is 36 years old. We prefer a guy our age for this meeting between swingers. I'm a very naughty woman, I need a real man to come and play with me so we can both cum together. I'm a really hot girl when I'm with the guys. What I'm the biggest fan of is being with two horny guys because it turns me on to have two penises just for me and my boyfriend gets all excited at the idea of making me happy. We are available on weekends. We don't mind traveling to meet you, or if you prefer we can arrange to meet at our place. We are on this libertine dating site to enjoy life with men. You have the right to leave us a comment if you would like to meet up. Big kisses.

I know how to deal with my conquests to excite them. We can meet, I can every afternoon. You can choose the location, but only on Hickory. I'm a girl who loves to give you a blowjob in order to turn you on. I also love trying out new things like anal sex. If you want to, you can leave your presentation.

Otherwise, I don't have many physical criteria. What gets me excited is a guy who's good in bed so he can fulfill me during our future sex meeting.

Vacation, Food and a Thanks
The trip re-instilled my faith in my little daughter, she is now a confirmed foodie. I had my doubts when she used to pick on her lunches at school or when I had to run around her making she sure she drinks her milk. However in this trip I saw her face light up on the mere mention of food when she visibly was not getting any enjoyment while we waited for hours perched on an overlook waiting for the sun to set.
It is another thing that in that hour she made me go to & fro between the car and where her dad was sitting numerous times but discussing the menu helped.
However I must also give it to her that she very eagerly complied when we couldn't make up our mind on where to eat and what to eat and switched ever so often.
Bar Harbor, Maine has a quaint but very thriving downtown and a wide choice of restaurants. A stroll along its streets every evening was a pleasure in itself. There are many fun places to eat at.
No Indian place though, any takers? The Asian places are not good either, The Thai place "Nakrom Thai" was dilapidated, we just packed Satay & white Rice for S who was pining for some and fled. The only Chinese place wasn't much to talk about either.
Some of the good restaurants that we thoroughly enjoyed were,
Jeannie's – For Breakfast. Open only till 1:00PM in the noon, this cheerful, bright place serves only breakfast. The sunny interiors surely brightens ones day. Breakfast choices are typical Omlettes, Toast, Sausages, French Toast, Pancakes the works. I tried a spicy salsa omlette, definitely not spicy but hearty altogether.
Toasts are served with their home made rhubarb jam.
Morning Star Bakery – A small quaint bakery in one of the by lanes. Very Hippy style. Loved the Lemon Tart with fresh blueberries though never found it again on day two or three. They bake their own bread and the bread is good. They also offer boxed lunches which are a good option if you want to have a quiet lunch on top of the Cadillac Mountain or any of the picnic areas in Acadia. I liked the Curried Chicken sandwich and also a certain cilantro cheese spread. The scones were a bit dry though
Maggie's Classic Scales – Excellent place for dinner. The food was so good that I do not have a pic to vouch for. I had Lobster crepes smothered in some French wine sauce. It was phenomenal. D had a salmon paired with basmati and he loved it. The atmosphere was very good too, very homely and full of life.
Rupununi – I fell in love with the name, the name of ariver that runs through British Guyana in South America. Again the outside sitting was very pleasant on a summer evening. I had Lobster sautéed in parsley & Butter. I didn't want to hammer out my Lobster so I chose the Lazyman's Lobster where they shell it and serve. It was pretty good.
We also went to some more places, a Mexican one and another Fish Place but they were ok. The Mexican one was good enough and served very good Mojito which I couldn't even finish, so I asked if I could take it back to the hotel. Of course they didn't allow :D but I loved their mango salsa and the creamy mango sauce.
These gorgeous beauties arrived yesterday evening. That they were delicious is to say the least, they were so very good that the whole family was floored. Thank You for the sweet treats !!! It was very touching to get these even though I couldn't be a part of the friendship bread chain, and should have actually got some mustard reeking bombs:D

Sandeepa, As usual an amazing post and I am glad little S likes good food as her mom is a superb cook :). I can totally relate to coming back from a vacation and longing for more. We (I and my husband) love to travel and always have the same feeling after coming back. Our latest adventure was in Peru in May and we want to go back only if we have more vacation. Ok,need to run to go to a dinner party. Take CareReplyDelete
Wow, beautiful pictures... you guys had the perfect vacation it looks like... And having lobster in Maine... sigh... that is a treat...ReplyDelete
I always always come back from a trip either pining for more, or completely tired, either way a vacation always makes me want another vacation !!!

Lovely pix, and your are all lucky to be able to have had the vacation.ReplyDelete

I loved looking at those pictures. I felt like I was there, and now I'm almost pining to be there myself. I'm so glad you got to spend time with your family in such a lovely place. And congrats on your daughter being a foodie!ReplyDelete
you're welcome, sandeepa. i've been longing to visit maine, and your feedback will be very useful indeed. i adore the northeast. glad you had a wonderful time there.ReplyDelete
when i am on vacation, i indulge in seafood to my heart's content. that's what i miss most from my carnivorous days.
Sandeepa, Pls don't remind me abt those blissful, all fun, no work days. Am just back from one of these. I'll take yr suggestions next time I go to Maine! Have a nice weekend!ReplyDelete
Hey Sandeepa, great pictures! I love the sunset picture the best! And am glad that lil' S is turning out to be a foodie :). My hugs and love to her!ReplyDelete
Yes and what you said happens to almost everyone after vacations! Like a friend said, "I need the vacation after vacation" :-D.
have a great weekend,
Fascinating pictures, u did catch the right mood in those pictures!! so subtle and serene!!I too come back from a holiday wanting more or completely knackered but either way vacations are definitely amazing!!
the pics say it all...ReplyDelete
and all that beautiful food u r describing so perfectly...great post!
Lovely post with beautiful photos Sandeepa. Hope you enjoyed. VijiReplyDelete
That is great trip you had Sandeepa.Lovely little harbor,beautiful!:))ReplyDelete
Enjoy the brownies.
Sandeepa, ha this is where you have been visiting up North, lovely place, now i want to visit Maine even more, originally it was for the lobster and the Lighthouses. Little S a confirmed foodie, great to hear that. Life as one long vacation is what we should all have :) I can completely understand I am ready to start planning my next one.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 16, 2007 11:42 AM
Sandeepa, P and I visited Maine and Acadia last May just before the tourist season began. We drove from Boston to Acadia and camped on along the coast . It was great fun, and the rugged coastline was breathtaking!ReplyDelete
The upside was that there were no crowds at all. The downside of course was that it was still pretty chilly, specially at nights, so we couldn't soak in the water. Also, because it was off-season, many restaurants and shops were closed. And finally, it rained on the last few days so we didn't get to explore Acadia as much as we liked.
But we loved every minute of it, and hope to go back during tourist season and enjoy the sun :)
Sandeepa - looks like you had a superb holiday . The photographs are beautiful too . However it's good to have you and your lovely evocatibe recipes back. Evocative - because your cooking which must be a reflection of whatever your mom taught you , reminds me powerfully of my Ma .Thanks girl . Im glad I found your blog.ReplyDelete
Ha ha...little S likes "eating out" any day. She prefers that to her Mom's cooking :D
Peru...wow...but vacations are much more relaxed when there are no kids tagging along...so enjoy
Yeah what is this with vacations, a marketing ploy, always makes you want more ;-)
Planning for one is better...
You are right, most of the time I save my leave for India trips & for S so the vacations we go for here are short ones. This time since family is visiting throughout the year, we are not going to India and so had leave to spare.
The daughter is always ready for a "eat out"
Thanks and isn't Maine a beautiful place. It was my first time there
With most of the lobster places, i wanted to bring them back and cook them our way. But those crepes were delightful
There are more fun & good places, i had taken a list but couldn't sample all
You liked the sunset pic ? That one was taken by D with my new D80 which he apparently gave me as a gift for our anniv. But he has been using it ever since
Yeah you would know, back from India :)
Bindiya, Viji, Asha
Thanks :)
Too much of a good thing..nah wouldn't be that precious then
I am lazy, just put up my feet up in a hotel. The camping must have been much better though. Thank God we were not there over the long weekend but I liked the crowd, especially when at bar Harbor
Eve's Lungs
That is so very sweet of you :D Thanks
sandeepa...looks like u had waay too much fun...it is boring to get back to work :(..ha ha loved the part where ur daughter was bored at the sunset but her face lit up when food was mentioned...ah! another foodie in making..good girl..ReplyDelete
I can't get past the pic of that sunset! Makes me want to have it poster-sized and hanging in my house.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 16, 2007 2:42 PM
This is where we went last year and has been wanting to go back. Next year now. Did you eat at two cats? It was the best breakfast I ever had. Really! The picture of the sunset is totally amazing.ReplyDelete
Yes I had the same feeling after our Leaf Peeping trip in New England last year....but we did not cover Maine that time...Hope I could make it there sometime in which case this post is going to be of great help :)ReplyDelete
Happens all the time S :-) I know exactly what you mean :-)ReplyDelete
Glad you had a nice vacation. :)
I do, indeed, know how intoxicating Acadia is and how it does leave you longing for more; that's why we had to go back last week. Last year's honeymoon simply wasn't enough for us. So glad you got to Bass Harbor Light, Sandeepa. It's quite an adventure to climb those rocks, isn't it? Stunning pix. Where did you take the sunset shot?ReplyDelete
seems you had a great time. lovely pics, esp. of the sunset! there are lot of options for non-veggies:) but for veggies life becomes real difficult! I atleast manage to have a egg sandwich at dunkin donuts my hubby does not:)ReplyDelete

Buying Zagent Coin is confusing at first. There's no good guide out there explaining everything you need to know. That's why we created this beginner's guide. In this article, I'm going to walk you through how and where you can buy Zagent Coin so that you can start trading/investing in it.
What is Zagent Coin ($ZEG)?
Zagent is built from the combination of game server and blockchain through blockchain gateway. As a result, Zagent combines the enjoyment of traditional games with the convenience of click-to-earn and the profitability of game-fi.Zagent has learned from the predecessors to come up with comprehensive solutions in terms of both gameplay and economy. In particular, Zagent uses positive deflationary mechanisms while still ensuring investor profits.
How to buy Zagent Coin ($ZEG)?
No matter what people say, it's easy to buy Zagent Coin with a credit card. Your first step will always be to buy BTC/ETH/USDT with your credit card. They can then be converted to Zagent Coin. Transfer BTC/ETH/USDT to an exchange that supports Zagent Coin. Finally, exchange it for Zagent Coin. Please follow our step-by-step guide below to buy Zagent Coin ($ZEG).
The well-known website Coinbase has already enabled trading for Bitcoin Cash, Ether, and Litecoin, but what about what's commonly referred to as altcoins? Here's how you can buy Zagent Coin ($ZEG)!
Step 1: Register on Fiat-to-Crypto Exchange
The first thing you will need to do is register with one of the many exchanges that allow fiat-to-crypto purchases. You can buy cryptocurrency on exchanges or peer-to-peer. On exchanges you can use fiat money to buy cryptocurrency, for example, you can use USD to buy Ethereum (ETH), Bitcoin (BTC), Litecoin (LTC).
In this case, we need to buy USDT (USDT) from Coinbase.
Coinbase is also one of the largest crypto exchanges that accept fiat deposits. Use the link below to register at Coinbase and you will receive a free amount of $10 worth of BTC after buying $100 worth of cryptos.
This can be done by going to the website and clicking "Sign Up." You will be required to enter your name, email address, create a password and verify your email address.
Verify Coinbase Account
After your account has been created, you will be required to go through the KYC (know your customer) process. The KYC process also requires you to provide proof of identity and proof of residency.
During the KYC process, you may be required to add a picture of yourself holding up your government-issued ID and a picture of yourself holding up your driver's license or passport. Once this is complete, you should have successfully registered and can now buy cryptocurrency!
Step 2: Buy USDT with fiat money
Select USDT and enter how much money you want to spend/how many coins you want to buy in the windows at the bottom of the page. Once this is done, click on the Buy button. Now you will have to confirm your purchase. Do this by pressing the Confirm purchase button. You now own some USDT. However, don't close Coinbase just yet — we'll use it later!
Note: If you use a card on Coinbase, your fees will be higher, but your purchases will be instant. It's cheaper to use bank transfers, but it's slow — it can take up to a week to receive your coins. When your payment details are verified, click on the 'buy/sell' button in the top menu.
Step 3: Transfer USDT to an Altcoin Exchange
You can use USDT to buy most coins and tokens in the market. The quickest way to buy Zagent Coin is to transfer your USDT to Binance (or the exchanges listed above for US traders), convert USDT into BNB, then send it to your own wallet via Binance Smart Chain and swap your BNB for ZEG on PancakeSwap.
Now you will need to find an exchange that allows you to deposit USDT and trade it for ZEG. As Zagent Coin is currently listed on PancakeSwap we will guide you through how to convert your USDT on the platform.
We'll be using Binance, but there are many other exchanges like Gate.io, Bitmart, and MEXC that offer Altcoins.
Convert your USDT into BNB on Binance
Now head over to Binance.com and create an account there. It's a super easy process that shouldn't take more than five minutes. (Traders from the United States can also use the exchanges listed above)
Once you're set up on Binance, it's time to convert some USDT into BNB. You can do this by going to "Funds" and then "Deposits & Withdrawals," where you'll see a list of different coins supported by Binance. Scroll down until you find USDT in the list and click the Deposit button for it.
Binance will give you a unique address to send your coins to copy this address and paste it into your Coinbase wallet (it will look something like this: bbq3dgjm…).
Once you've transferred your USDT to Binance, it will take about 10–15 minutes for your funds to become available for trading. Once they're available, trade your USDT to Binance Coin (BNB).
Transfer BNB to your own wallet
Okay, so this is the trickiest part of the process. You need to create your own wallet to hold both BNB and ZEG.
Now head over to PancakeSwap. First of all, if you haven't done so already, please sign up for an account by clicking on the yellow button in the top right corner. That's where you'll store your Zagent Coin tokens and access a wide range of new features.
Once you've signed up, click on the "Connect Wallet" button. This will open MetaMask, a browser plugin that will allow you to send your BNB tokens to PancakeSwap.
If you've already got a Metamask account, skip ahead to the next part. If not, go to MetaMask.io, click "Get Chrome Extension", and install it.
If this is your first time connecting with MetaMask you should be asked immediately if you would like to add the Binance Smart Chain network to your MetaMask, please do proceed with this step as it is very important that you make sure you are sending your BNB via the right network.
Then go to Binance and click on the "Wallet" tab at the top of the screen.
Click on "Withdraw", then search for "BNB". Paste your own wallet address where you see an option named recipient address to withdraw BNB; then on the transfer network, make sure you have selected Binance Smart Chain (BSC) or BEP20 (BSC).
Click submit and follow the verification steps afterward. After successfully withdrawing your BNB it should arrive very shortly in your Metamask wallet.
Now you're ready to buy Zagent Coin!
Once Metmask is ready, head over to PancakeSwap, click "Connect Wallet" at the top and choose Metamask.
Now select Trade > Exchange on the left sidebar.
On the top field enter the amount of BNB you would like to exchange for $ZEG. You can go back and change this number anytime before proceeding with "Swap".
Now click on the other field and choose Zagent Coin from the list. The corresponding amount of Zagent Coin should show up immediately. Verify and then proceed with "Swap".
Now MetaMask should pop up and ask you if you want to allow PancakeSwap to spend your BNB tokens, click confirm. Wait for the confirmation popup until it shows "Transaction Submitted".
You can see your Zagent Coin in your MetaMask Wallet. Congratulations! You have finally bought Zagent Coin ($ZEG)!
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I buy Zagent Coin with PayPal?
Sure! If you want to use PayPal, you'll have to purchase bitcoins first, then exchange those bitcoins for $BDOGE using a service like Binance.
I want to buy Zagent Coin, but I have a lot of cash. Is there an easy way to convert my cash into $ZEG without having to buy bitcoins first?
Yes! You can use Binance to exchange your cash directly for $ZEG. However, you should know that Zagent Coin is not available to purchase directly with cash. Even though some ATMs support Zagent Coin, they are less than 1% of all cryptocurrency ATMs.
Is it possible to buy Zagent Coin with Bitcoins?
Yes, it is possible to exchange bitcoins for Zagent Coin on the Binance platform.
Can I buy Zagent Coin with Skrill?
Europeans can use BitPanda to buy BTC, ETH, or USDT with Skrill. Ethereum or BTC can be converted to Zagent Coin on Binance.
What is the best payment method to buy Zagent Coin?
The cheapest way to do this is to buy bitcoins with a bank account (or BTC/ETH/USDT directly with a bank account) and exchange USDT for ZEG.
How can I protect the ZEG after I buy it?
You must store your Zagent Coin in a secure wallet. Leaving Zagent Coin on an exchange only puts you at risk of losing money if the exchange is hacked. Your account can also be hacked, so it's important to use 2FA.
How can I sell Zagent Coin ($ZEG)?
Binance and PanCakeSwap are good places to exchange your $ZEG for any other cryptocurrency. If you want to exchange it for regular currency, trade $ZEG for bitcoin and exchange BTC for dollars, euros, or other currencies.
Can I mine Zagent Coin instead of buying it?
You cannot mine Zagent Coin as it has a different network structure than Bitcoin. You can only buy Zagent Coin from an exchange.

Self-Defence Classes in Moor Park

One of the most important aspects of self-defence training is about attitude or perhaps self-confidence. Most victims of aggression invite it by being in the wrong place at the wrong time, or by their negative ('attack me I'm a weakling') body language. Both of these easily avoidable traits should be naturally remedied by the awareness and attitude that comes from self-defence training.
Our training is designed for the everyday person. You do not need to have any martial arts experience, just a willingness to learn to protect yourself. It is well suited as a self-defence for women as size and strength are not important issues.
Many real life attacks begin with a grab, either to pull you off balance or to move you away. Students learn to defend against many different grabs, usually starting with the wrists and progressing to being gripped by both hands and then on to punches.

Anyway... Focusing.... As you know, I've been in this kind of reflective mood recently. During this time, I've heard from a bunch of my new blog friends -- which I really appreciate and I am humbled by. However, I haven't really heard from my "in person" friends, who I will call my non-blog friends.
That really made me think. Hmmmm... In this day and age where electronic communication is more common and more convenient than in-person communication, do I have communication more with my blog friends or my non-blog friends? Now, the people at work don't count, at least for me, because all of you know how much I work (too much).
Anyway... Focusing again... This entertains an interesting question: When it comes to citizens of the blogosphere, do people have more blog friends or non-blog friends? For me, I've come to find out that it's the former -- not that it's a bad thing, but an interesting realization.
How about you? Do you have more blog friends or non-blog friends? Do you care? Does it bother you one way or another? I'm Dr. A, and I'm a re-discovered blogaholic...
BTW, I haven't plugged my map lately. If you haven't placed yourself on my map, what are you waiting for? Click here and join the 29 others who have already done it!

Well good morning Dr. A....
It has been a little while since I have visited your site, but when I do I certainly enjoy your posts. By the way, thank you for your kind words on my post. A few times yesterday I just sat and thought about the loss of my colleague and the impact it had on me and his poor family.
Now with regards to having more friends in the blogosphere or in real life....hmmm good question. Well I think my situation might be a little different than some.
I have only lived where I am for 18 months. I have only made a couple of friends/aquintances in my area. The folks I work with live about 60 km away so I don't tend to have much contact with them outside of work. My friends on the mainland I tend to communicate via email and IM. So most of my communication is done via the internet. I have never been one to have a large number of close friends but I have lots of aquintances people I would socialize with on a semi-regular basis. I come from a large family and found that a lot of my social interaction was family based. Then came the blog. It was my family that got me blogging and now I am pretty much the only one who blogs on a regular basis. I have met some wonderful people via the blogosphere and I hope I will continue to connect with them in the future. So I guess I would have to say that about 75% of my friends and contacts are internet based.
Have a great day Dr.......

Dr. Anon, I have quite a few non-blog friends, however I'm not in touch with them in the way I am my blog friends. I'm always getting in trouble for "not staying in touch" with my non-blog friends.
I find the written media far easier to communicate in, and this is just so much more comfortable for me.
Along the same lines, I've noticed that I get a lot more said on the blogs, and with blog friends, than I do otherwise ... where my blog friends know more about what's going on than my non-bloggers do.
Interesting phenomenon, eh? I'm going to be watching the comment section of this post ... :o)

Hey Doc A,
I understand...I have been reconnecting lately with people I've known in my life, and it's been a good thing! For me, it felt a little empty on blogger...but I REALLY enjoy it nonetheless but it doesn't really make up for the lack of companionship like having REAL companions! ha ha.
so i am still a blogaholic, but there is also a place for really connecting with real people, and I have to say at this point I like that more, however I will probably soon have a relapse because i sometimes need the anonymouty of blogger to let out some of it...
ha ha hope all is well with you!
- Wednesday, August 23, 2006 9:43:00 AM
I'm glad you are finding your rhythm, Dr. A.
Hmmmmm, I have to say that I have more non-blog friends. However, my blog friends know more about me, they just don't know what I look like! ;o)
I think Moof's summary hits the nail on the head.

Welcome back, Dr. A. I have a number of folks who I consider really good non-blog friends and feel blessed about that. I also have a few blog-friends I chat with on a daily basis.
I definitely talk to my blog friends more but being as I'm a newly admitted blogoholic, I still have more non-blog friends, I just never speak with them anymore ;-)

Well I must say that I keep in contact with my online friends more than I do with my "real" friends. When someone is online and chatting with me I know that they are avalible, I don't feel like I am imposing on them. Plus my internet time is after my kids go to bed, times when most normal people are asleep in bed also. It is hard to find nutty people like me that want to hang out in the middle of the night.

I just had a nice conversation with on of my "non-blog" friends this morning. Now, none of you out there told him about my blog. Hmmmm? I wonder... (Just kidding)

are you married Dr. A?

What do you think, mr/ms anonymous person? If you knew, would that change your opinion of me? I'm kind of curious. Billy Joel sang, "Don't go changin to try and please me..." *LOL*

I'm maried and have a 22 month old.....I have no nonblog friends! I guess that means blog friends.
My profiling of Dr. A would suggest that he is unmarried and in his early thirties. What do the commenters think?
- Wednesday, August 23, 2006 1:33:00 PM
dr. a,
you sound hot! and it sounds like you have NOT met "the one", yet... married or not.

It pays to have trackers, by now you can blog-profile someone. :)
I'm more 'connected' with my blog friends than my 'real friends'.
Off topic (sorry Dr. A): I'm blogrolling everyone on the BA Map. My list isn't complete yet. It just seem right I think. Thanks.

I don't know which one I have more of... but blog friends diffently know me more than non-blogger friends. Though I'm trying to reconnect with a bunch of them... in fact I so just this afternoon!
The blog is easier... because as already said it's easier to write sometimes that talk.
My friend today asked me if I had a myspace or xanga account... no I don't. I debated telling her about my blog... I'm not sure what to do about that, I have no idea how my friends might take it. They and my parents don't know about it. The only people who do are my doctors because it is a way of coping for me.
Off topic... but I'm going out on a wing here and saying Doc A is married :)
- Wednesday, August 23, 2006 3:51:00 PM
Oh Dr. A....This is a topic after my own heart.I have non-blog friends but some of them have moved away so we don't see each other and therefore we don't talk much. A year ago my very best friend passed away.I also have new non-blog friends I have made since moving, but in non-blog life I am much more backwards than on here. I don't make friends easily. But, I cherish my firendships once I do make them. At this stage in my life my blog friends out number my non-blog friends. Most important is a feeling of ease with my blog friends. They are there for us no matter what.
now for profiling of you. I think Dr. Grumet is right on. You are single and young! I would almost bet the farm (that I don't have) on it.

Can someone explain the whole MySpace phenomeon to me? I guess I just don't get it. All I hear is the negative news reports. What's the good side to MySpace? Or, is it just a bunch of predators like that John Mark Karr guy?
- Wednesday, August 23, 2006 4:08:00 PM
- Hoping4more said...
ha, ha! i just recently got a "my space" page...and I love it! I've founds some old classmates and love getting back in touch with them I have only had it a very short time, so I don't know if anything bad will happen from it or not, but it does facilitate connecting with long-lost friends, and that's kind of cool. of course...there are drawbacks!
any wierd connections, shunned lovers, or back-stabbing ex-best friends can be a scaaary thing for sure!!! ha ha.
but overall I'm glad I have it. i know that excitement will wear off eventually...i cannot talk on it like I can on the 'blog'... so there is a place for both of them i s'pose.
- Wednesday, August 23, 2006 4:23:00 PM
- Awesome Mom said...
I think myspace is a bit of a teen thing. I have an account because I had an online friend that wanted to show me something on her page. Mostly I ignore it because to me blogging is much more fun. I did reconnect with a person from my high school but it ended up being wierd because she is still in the same place she was when she graduated from high school and I am in a completely different place from her.
PS thanks for stopping by my blog and I would love to have you link to me.

I lived in Germany for a while and I really like the distinction they draw between "friends" and "acquaintances". I have a few, really good non-blog friends and that's the way I like it. Time and distance often means we don't catch up as often as we like but because of the quality of the friendship, it works fine.
I probably interact with my blog friends more frequently simply because it's more convenient but also because it's great to be able to "meet" and talk with so many interesting people that I'd never otherwise get the chance to get to know (as well as you can in the internet environment).
I tried Myspace briefly. It wasn't for me. With respect to anyone who uses Myspace here, there was a lot of inappropriate content on Myspace or maybe I was just unlucky with the people who made contact with me. What does that say?
It's funny how this thread has twisted into a discussion of your marital status/availability, Dr. A.
Maybe we should set you up a fan club? :) Although I'm punting on late 30s, married.
- Wednesday, August 23, 2006 6:16:00 PM
- Maggie Rosethorn said...
Dr A...just put myself on your map. I have blog friends and non blog friends and try to keep in touch with them both. As for Myspace...got one of those, too, only because a few friends have them but I don't think I've checked in for a month or more.
- Wednesday, August 23, 2006 6:16:00 PM
- Dr. A said...
Fan club? Maybe start a "Friends of Dr. A Fan Club" on MySpace. That would be funny...
- Wednesday, August 23, 2006 6:22:00 PM
well, are you gonna tell us or do we have to just keep wondering? I know I'm right! If an exact age is required I'm going for 36, give or take only 1 year.

I am a stay at home mom.. who goes to college on line.. what do you think????
and it's all moofs fault.

actually it has been a blessing in that I don't feel as isolated as I once did..

Of course I'm going to keep you guessing! If I would tell, then that would spoil all the fun, right? Great discussion today!

ha ha this has been funny. beauty of the blog...keeps me bloggin'! I've only received one really "naughty" my space message from someone I didn't know, but apparently men are more targetted and receive more. Ha, so there, men, if you want free porn, check out my space!! too funny.
i just forwarded it on to a friend who many appreciate it more...
but other than that, I have ONLY received legitimate messages from actual friends/people I knew a long time ago, and that is just great! A great girlfriend of mine is getting married, and now I'm going to her wedding. it's just been so many years since I've seen her, so now I'm going to go watch her ruin her life! I'm just kidding completely, I highly value marriage, really...
- Wednesday, August 23, 2006 8:46:00 PM
Ok so I am voting that Dr A. is like Dr. Mcdreamy on Grays anatamy??? anyone second that vote??
- Wednesday, August 23, 2006 8:55:00 PM
Blogging, emailing, and even old-fashioned letterwriting create an aesthetic distance that fosters vulnerability, which nurtures risk, which inculcates intimacy. Or the illusion of it. We think we know who we are in the blogosphere and delight in the deception.
- Wednesday, August 23, 2006 10:24:00 PM
Okay ... Dr. A is single - I heard him moaning just a bit over on Hans' blog about being a hungry bachelor ...
He's been practicing medicine for about a decade ... so, 30's? Not sure how long school is for docs ... it seems like forever whenever I read about it though.
And about being "hot" ... well, of course he's hot! He's a blog addict, after all! All of us blog addicts are a bit hot, eh? >;o)
Annnnd Wolfbaby ... now now, don't go blaming it all on a poor innocent Moof ... *cough* ... you love blogging! You know you do! You just looked like "easy pickings" in that Math class!*evil chuckle*
- Wednesday, August 23, 2006 10:48:00 PM
- Hoping4more said...
this stuff is highly entertaining...
yes, laughorist, something about this fosters the vulnerability that one seeks to get to enjoy... of course, nowadays there are so many things to fight, all the wierdos who are there to stalk (YIKES) and such...other than that it is so much fun! I feel like we are all actors in a play together, such fun! ha ha ha.
Love it! Everyone, take a bow!

Wow, I've missed out on a lot of interesting conversation today . . . now I'm curious as well. So . . . BS at 22, MD at 26, residency complete by 29, add ten years and you get 39. Oh, subtract the three for residency . . . He's 36. ;o)
And single? Hmmmm . . .

Way late & slightly off-topic here. MySpace is how I keep in touch with my siblings and cousins, as well as some people from work. Sure there are negative news reports but thats with anything. There's a positive and negative for any one thing, always.
Is that pic really you? No offense...if it is, its rare I see a doctor with a genuine smile. And that's after working in healthcare for 3 years, deathcare for an additional 3 years, and as a patient for well...life. If it is you, and the smile is genuine, kudos.

*Raising my hand jumping up and down* If you aren't married, I'm single, Dr. A *Wink!* And I'm EXTRA single if you happen to look like McDreamy ;o)
I like blog friends because I can just say what I think and be who I am and they don't hold it against me. And in spite of the fact that most of us don't even know each other's first names or what part of our respective countries we live in, everyone is very sweet and tons of fun. And ironically, we all know each other's business (and sometimes air our own dirty laundry) and nobody ever gossips...not one peep!
I love my real life friends, but most of them went to business school and just don't "understand"...

- Hoping4more said...
yeah, apparently we are VERY cozy with our blog friends, see Dr. A? We are all on topic, (ha ha)
well I am sorry Doc A, you must sort of feel like a piece of meat, a little bit. (JEEZ) what did you expect?
Women tend to find other characteristics more attractive, besides looks (we don't know), etc.
It is apparently akin to a beautiful woman scantily clad, walking into a bar, and then her guy friends telling her "of COURSE you're going to get hit on...)
if you have what most guys there are looking for, and you walk right in...well....
that doesn't make it "right" necessarily, thought, and
Dr. A, I apologize *wink* I hope you will find someone special you can love, who loves you for you, even though you seem to have a lot of things women look for in a man, apparently....
and you thought you were just innocently blogging!
just some silly thoughts...have a nice day. :)

This is a fascinating post, Dr. A., in that it speaks to the meaning of the term, "friend." I was commenting yesterday to Theory of Thought that Anna Freud used the example of Cyrano de Bergerac as a "pure" example of "altruism." From the shadows, he whispered words to his friend to recite to a mutual love, because he himself could not. He believed his "appearance" was objectionable, yet his words radiated the fullness of his person.
While there is is some kidding about how you might "appear," it seems to me that people return here because they have drawn a conclusion about you by the words you "whisper" in the cover of the blog. No, we're not going out to dinner or a movie; no, we're not grabbing a quick cup of coffee at 8:30; no, you're not not asking for a ride because your car won't start. But in this "created world," all of our Cyrano-like "blemishess" are of no consequence.

yes, you pose a very interesting question here...i think i may have more blog friends than non-blog friends, or perhaps i just have more contact with my blog friends as they are more accessible. Most of my friends live at least an hour's drive away...i used to have a couple in my apartment complex, but since i became quite ill, they have fallen by the way (fair-weather friends? you say ...yes indeed), so for me, except for my daughter, who i see at least twice a week, my non-blog friends i keep in contact via the telephone or e-mail, simply because it is physically less taxing for me.
also, i find that my blogging friends are less demanding...and again, since this "stupid condition" i do not have the patience i had when i was well, so i find myself getting irritated at the most inconsequential things, and i do not want to "put this onto" my friends, whom i love and who have been my friends for over 20 years. They see a side of me know that they do not recognize, and this is hard for them.
i can hide my condition from my Blogging friends, if i choose, and in fact for the past year that is exactly what i did. I started blogging a year ago (approx.) and i have just in the past month or so made any reference to my "condition" here in cyberspace.
i think it is easier in some ways because you can remain intellectual if you like, emotions don't come through easily on the Blogs, and emotions ARE messy (sometimes) are often hard to manage. i need a lot of intellectual stimulation, maybe that is why i enjoy interacting with people on the Blogs so much.
i could go on all day, but this is your space, so i should not.
cheers for now,

good points dragonflyfilly, makes a lot of sense...
it is too bad in real life we are not more companion-able (not sure if that's a word..) but it IS great to be able to more simply eliminate some of the barriers in this context. we are all just, "People...People who need... people..." ha, after all...
it is fun to connect, and some other stuff often gets in the way in "real life" but blogging actually is "real" though, so whatami talkin' about...who knows
blog friends vs. non blog friends...
my final answer is: blog friends, and the BEST of my blog friends are the ones who know me for real
funny, huh?? so does that mean i'm sayin' non blog friends? well, no, because i don't even get to see these friends of mine very often and nowadays i keep up with them online ANYWAY...but I don't like that!
why am i so annoyin'...i'll get off of this thing now...bye!

sam is cute. i like her, and if she had a wee bit less drama, i could see her being competition for my abby.
you know...i have a nurse i work with in real life who completely reminds me of Carol Hathaway *swoon* but more gorgeous ;) maybe its cuz she is very affectionate and i always get a shoulder rub when the blood she brings me to spin arent hemolyzed LOL
actually. there are a LOT of cute nurses where i work. the smarter they are, the cuter they are, too LOL god i am pathetic.

i have blog friends/aquaintances, work friends, and family. hmmm.
blog friends i like, because the i dont have to go further than my computer room to connect... and no, im not anti social ;)
rather have friends than aquaintances tho. one can be more open online, and still remain... you know... private?
what do you think?

I was hoping to get the answer why those pictures? Wrong pasting of the link?
Hope to make you acquaintance.

Hey Dr. A.:) Thank you so much for the comment and the compliment and for adding me to your blogroll.
I have no social life, but, being an introvert, I'm fine with that. Well, sometimes it would be nice to go out, but I'd rather be home with my daughter.
I had a social life until I moved. Same city, different neighborhood. I guess we grew apart once we moved apart. But I like the blogosphere because I get to know people from so many different parts of the world and besides, I am more comfortable communicating in writing than speaking.
