Silly?

I set one up because there are a couple of people from school who I hope can find me.

Think it will work?

Oh no!!!  Now you will be targeted by a sexual predator...at least that's all the news has to say about it.

Barbara,

   If that picture represents middle-aged and dykish, then you should send in your good photos to a modeling agency!

Doh! Now predators will be all over me.

Heh..or most likely not.

Ah, well, if they start annoying me, I'll change my age to 57 and draw a mustache on the picture. In the meantime, I hope the person who wrote to me several months ago from the classmates site will find me.

...and that's NOT a dykish picture!  Just very casual.  "I yam what I yam", for better or worse. Take it or leave it.

I like it.

Be prepared to get a bunch of contact from jerks.

Hmm..seriously, huh?

(the picture was during the kids day last year when I got caught in the rain out on the range. I figured the drowned rat thing would keep me from getting many marriage proposals from Lithuanians.)

Maybe I should take it down.

I'm gonna get slapped...

I like that picture of you.  A very feminine low maintanence Lady is what I see.

"Deeds not Words"...well there you are in drowned rat pose , with an expression of having a good time with kids doing another great Deed.

37...I was 37 once...I was 47 once too.   Age is just a number anyway.

So if the Predators and Preverts start in, we have no doubt you can handle matters.

Just remember some of us enjoy a bit of fun too. *grin*

You have in your arsenal of friends everything from Gun toting / shooting Clergy, to Bikers,  Lawyers , Doctors, Miitary, LEO,Desert Rats ...you get the idea.

I know , get that Picture of Art holding up a critter..."last time someone tried to steal my chocolate - this happened to them..."

I think your page looks fine for it's intended purpose.  I like the picture, too.  If you want some predators you probably should lose the part about deer processing.  You'll also want to add some stuff about partying, looking for a nice guy, and change drink to "yes".  Write some "about me" story that makes you seem insecure.

I didn't really know much about myspace.com until last week when I saw on the news that it was being used by sexual predators.  They made it sound like if your kid had a myspace.com site, they were likely to be seduced by older white men and forced to participate in deviant sexual activities.  Huh?  When did teens become such ignorant, easily victimized people?  Or is this just a sensational story that only really involves a handful of kids here and there, who probably would have found another conduit for victimization if myspace.com didn't exist.

Blackburn, are any of those 20-30 year old sexual predators hot?

Maybe I should try it.  Hi, I'm crt360.  I'm seeking attractive 25-35 yr. old, disease-free, female sexual predators.  College education and financial stability are preferred, but not necessary if u r really hot.  Not into drugs or smoking.  Drinking O.K., unless you get stupid drunk.  Please send lots of pics.  :p

Been that way for a while. Our little teen was on myspace before we yanked her off. Fortunately for us she's still into horses and couldn't care less about boys, so all the pics she posted were of this horse and that horse. I saw some of her FRIENDS myspace pix though (14-15 yo girls) that were quite provocative to the point of shocking. I'm like, THAT'S little so and so down the street!? OMFG!! Shocked (And where are her parents?)

So really a lot of them are kind of looking for little boyfriends but the perverts are out there in force instead. Just recently another local girl had a stalker from myspace and he went so far as to go to her school trying to find her. It's not good.

BTW, did anybody catch that 60 minute thing where in like 3 days they trapped  FIFTY middle aged men who showed up to have sex with what they thought were teenage girls. What a bunch of pigs there is on this planet.

Don't anyone think for one minute this is a new trend.  It's been going on for a LONG time now.  It's just not a taboo subject to bring up and make a news story about.

My sister was abused by our creepy great-uncle and we didn't find out about it until after he died else he'd have died prematurely I am sure.

I'm just freaked out by how MANY there are. Quite honestly and speaking of taboo subjects, I wonder if legalized prostitution would help offset the situation. It was apparent to me that most of these were lonely guys who's only chance of ever "gettin' some" is by preying on naive young girls. If they had a legitimate outlet for their sexual urges would this possibly dissuade them from trying to hook up with these little girls?

Myspace is awesome, well if used with discretion. I can see how the kiddos have been getting in trouble, they just put too much info for the world to see. I set up myspace account last fall and have connected with a few friends from college I haven't seen or heard from in years. Plus its fun to post weird stuff on each others myspace accounts.

1. usually to get someone from somewhere to find you, you've got to find them first, or leave *big* clues, not the kind of thing myspace is good for. It's tricky.
2. You don't look middle aged or dykish
3. You're actually pretty cute Smiley

A couple of years ago I was on a chatboard site and got friendly with a couple of the chatters.

One finally "revealed" to me that "she" was actually underage and really wanted to meet me...

Bells, whistles, warning signs...

Pulled the plug on that one soon after.

In addition to what Mike wrote.

I also used to get kids wanted me to buy them beer too, also had a the underage girls wanting to meet. I tried to play the fatherly role of that is wrong and you should wait until your older, figured I was doing the right thing. When I started to hear about the bad things and the cops setting up stings, I haven't been to a public chat room since.

Garrettwc

its a band from Des Moines, Iowa, you can listen to part of four of their songs at http://www.myspace.com/gimmickband

Their main website is www.gimmickband.com, they just released an album last fall. I booked then last summer for a summer friday night fest we put on and I booked them again for this summer. It is interesting since I took over bands last year how many bands are getting a hold of me and how many different bands I have met.

Yeah, bands survive by word of mouth. When word gets out that a straight up guy is booking for paying gigs he gets real popular.

Still not one inappropriate proposal from a Lithuanian green-card seeker. Damn.

Smiley

I think I was a bit over the top with the middle-aged dykish thing..my point was that I was careful about the picture..the one I chose would probably not attract your average pedophile or standard grade pervert. Hopefully, anyway. And it seems to be working.

I've seen some other profiles and I'm surprised by the things people will say or the photos they put up. I'm open about who I am and about most of the details of my life, here and elsewhere, but sheesh..to whom would would it seem like a good idea to post photos of yourself smoking a bong and wearing a Party Naked tshirt?

I'm really glad.  Maybe my cynicism is more extreme than necessary.  I confess to a bit of "big brother" protectionism for you on my part.  Sorry.

Please tell me there aren't darwin candidates out there that actually posted pics of themselves hitting the Tokemaster... OMG.  The decline of Western Civilization is in full swing. rolleyes

Unfortunately yes, I WOULD believe it...

 One of the mailing lists I'm on has a young man that was CONSTANTLY complaining about how he was lookin' for a girlfriend. One of the women wasn't happy with her husband, made it abundantly clear on the list that she wanted "something on the side", and invited Hormone boy over. He was shocked when she tried seducing him. After that, and some of the things I've seen on thescambaiter.com, NOTHING can supprise me about the 'net

I did not attend HS graduation. I had better things to do than participate with 500+ Seniors doing this paperdrill.

I am not in the yearbook either. I cannot deny or confirm I had anything to do with some "memories" captured in Photo or text in the yearbook or local newspaper.

My name is...all my life I have been told not only do I not spell it correctly - I pronounce  it wrong too.

I have been "contacted" by graduating classes from all over, from various decades. I have never been to Europe, and I have no idea / had no idea I was ever on a rowing team.  I was obviously pretty good...Smiley

I did for awhile and sometimes still see someone from my graduating class. You know that old saw about the football stud and most popular cheerleader?   Gee whiz!  StudJockey got a beer gut , very little hair and what is , is gray. Darling in a mini-skirt, tight jeans, and uniform with pom-poms...must use the pom-poms to apply make-up and I did not know Omar the tent-maker had a line of jeans out...

I can't associate with folks like that... being former Caption of the Rowing Team and all...

Hey, we never "tumped" over while I was Captain...Bwhahahaha!  Tongue

Yeah, no kidding.  When I was at work at the police department last week a couple of police officers came in with a bunch of print-outs from Facebook for a case file.  Remember kids, don't worry about the fact that almost anyone can access your profile - write whatever you want, it'll never come back to bite you!

Forget writing, think pictures.  The "popular" thing to do was for the girls to photograph themselves with a beer bottle... uh...  in their mouth in a certain manner...  you can guess where I'm going with that.  It's really kinda convenient for me.  I can quickly make a list of people I wouldn't give the time of day to if I met them in person.  But y'know, both the predatory types, and mom 'n dad can see the picture.  It might not be the wisest thing they've ever done.

Barbara, based on your profile and taste in music, we'd probably get along real well, but my wife won't let me have any more love slaves.  Then again I'm almost old enough to be your daddy, so maybe we could adopt and do incest (thoroughly toungue-in-cheek, neener-neener).

Heh..that was funny as hell, honestly. If I ever change my mind and decide I'm looking for an older married man who will let me be his love slave, you will be the first to know. Smiley

Atek, for some reason, I thought you were a radical anarchist liberal type person.

I haven't had any problem with perverts. I had one yahoo from Ohio who wrote me an obnoxious email telling me he was looking for a nice girl. I was like, dude, obviously, you have me confused with someone else, if you think I care who you're looking for. His profile annoyed the crap out of me all by itself, so I told him thanks for writing but go ahead and never do it again. Then he wrote me a snotty message telling me how much of a bitch I was for not, I guess, having the common decency to be flattered by having creepy strangers pay attention to me.

Barbara,

I just perused your ..."site", "blog"...whatever...

I am cracking up!  The Entries are great!

Had no idea you were quite the artist.

By golly you look GREAT in a bikini, and though I looked for your CCW, I did not find it.  Talk about "concealed means concealed..."

I did spot a wee bit of chocolate on the left corner of your mouth, oh no- don't change it, just gives the pic more personality is all.

I got an email from a Legislative Candidate the other day asking if I had a myspace page..hehehehe..I must be getting old.

Anyway, its been a couple of months and still no Lithuanians looking for green cards.

One loser from Bryan, Ohio that thought I was cute, but then decided I was a bitch for not being grateful enough that he thought so. Smiley

I finally changed my background after much harrassment over my boringness.

Oh, and I changed the picture again. This is a better likeness, although I'm not fond of blue eyeshadow.

So...you do have a Lithuanian admirer.  Old, cranky and married for 40 years, but an admirer nonetheless.  I think my youngest son is a year younger than you.  heh.
