That is too funny. But you would laugh - for better worse at fact I did not see a single cowboy hat anywhere. A couple guys on bus on way home who looked like they wanted to wear them and should be, but only had football style caps. That's kind of sad. Didn't seem like bad guys don't get me wrong. The hippie culture is so prevalent here you simply cannot see it anymore since it is the mainstream. It is not me. So a senior! Congrtulations your way. I can barely remember how that felt. Cat's glad I'm home. Catch you later.

Hi there! How was your week? Happy Memorial Day to you and yours. Oh, I've changed my name on here just twitting about as you probably guessed carl rogers not my real name. Not that I'm hiding but part of escapism for me is not seeing my name on stuff, I suppose. I get to 'comment' on stuff now since I figured out that I needed to sign up for that separately. I just realized the 'folk' festival in Seattle is today, but if you wore a cowboy hat some waistrel hippie want to be more would probably knock it off! Surely it's a non wise decision, but I moved out of Seattle for many reasons. I was going to head down there to dance, but have to change my oil and/or take the bus way down there. Bus is fine but at end of day if you don't find a friend to bunk up with you have to ride the bus home! We need speedy Japanese trains in our country, maybe. Have a wonderful day, Norwegian Goddess!

Are you saying you don't have to wear earplugs to go to bed? Wow that would be a luxury. You have definitely espoused the virtues of the lifestyle. I find it funny in the "urban" area how people work to get money to pay to store stuff at another address. Now that's as good as any sit-com. It's kind of late your way so Happy B-day once again! I can guess how excited you must be. Talk to you soon, and by the way I do not wear a felt hat, wide collar, and all the snl stuff. Your call I'd send a picture of my self and maybe even my cat anytime, so you know well that I'm not John Cleese himself?

Oh did I get the earliest b-day wish in! Wow feeling like the early bird. I sent it 10 p.m. my time but heck it was officiallly your day. I sort of assumed that's why you are asking. Normally get up at 6:30 ish when cat smothers my head. Must be beeuutiful on a farm I hear 6 cars starting in street before I get up during week. Hope you get some more special day activities in. You deserve it.

Happy Birthday! You're present is one free night at Fawlty Towers and one specially prepared meal by Carlos himself!
From your friend in ancient and possibly worn out (but who cares!) cheesy one liners, etc., in Seattle

Whoa! I forgot about minnesooota. I do ramble. Ramblin, ramblin, ramblin. Not to drive it home, but Steve Wild and CRazy guy! - martin has a little piece on that. And I, as you know, use this as my let my hair (well all two of them - no kidding I do have hair and a real picture I'll send someday) down place since no girl would ever date a guy in real life who wears his silly self on his cuff Mr. Cleese is probably a unic! - Ha no effing way he rules and any chick who wouldn't bow to the man (esp. in his cop uniform -wink wink nudge nudge) is not a true x chomosome bearer. Oh well lucky I have to go out and weedeat or I'd ramble. I appreciate geography check in I was off a bit and I was in Montana once so only a state away. It was cold and I had my car full of stuff thinking I'd move there, but turned back on a whim and gut check. Oh! And glad you were not offended at my question on sincerity vs. how people post publicly vs. their own sense of what they REALLY want to say. I know now you are a real person who is beyond cool being here and having a splendid attitude and tolerance toward the wacky even when they've more than two decades on you! Ah, to be young. Getting old sucks, but it's better than the alternative - as in "parrots" if you know what I mean - nudge, wink. Ciao the rain is on it's way. You are then, as we now know a Norwegian Goddess. Hope your smilin' guy knows - oh don't tell me. I like to fantasize that when I"m 50 and your 25 or 26 or whatever we will run off to a castle in the highlands. That's only if your fellow or whoever (I've a weak heart break it to me slow) doesn't seduce you into a midwest quite charming lifestyle no one would argue. Seattle is okay. When it's nice it's really nice. The green is everywhere - i.e. "emerald city", and the water is a plus. I live a few minutes from the "sound". Ironically, microsquish is now not as much of a powerhouse as it once was. It is weird though to be going out like the other night I went to the celtic women show, and drove about 100 yards past bill gates' house. Kind of wonder what the guy does at night, you know? Or anytime. Or what I would do in his situation. Ah, well no more posts up there just yours and mine then one mrs. thing deal. Her page is quite interesting. Cheerio.

Wow that's ott cool looks they really raise kids right out there - I'm completely impressed by your top of the heap meet the queen viable attitude about life and people exchanges. E-mail's always been a bugger for me trying to get my point across whilst subconsciously trying to show off my 'college prep' english writing 'skills' so to speak - I.E - words alone I might wield in a way that I subconsciously KNOW might be miscontrued - It' could be the 'smallness" of the first generation immigrant - which you would not know of but might here on this site someday - or just my own type of family background - hey the Scots and friends are not know for being tee-totallers -and thereby not known for their pride in blue ribbons for "functional" families! I survived that, but generally I have to say e-mail has not always been my friend in light of these round about ways of making my point. It may be "british", or it may be misplaced class resentment of my own - (that I'm not quite where I thought I should be?) - so, I'll let you know if I solve that question within myself. Hey I never answered if I can tell you where your state is! Without cheating, I'd say between Wyoming and Wisconsin. I know it's a border state! Do I get a 5 pence for that? I seriously am wondering if it goes Idaho - Montana - Wyom. - N. Dak. - Wisc. or if somehow Wyoming is to the right of N. Dak. Oh no! I do not know but I'd make a small bet on N. Dak being north of S. Dakota - really don't mean that as a patronizing comment but seriously I'm assuming that out of visual memory I think, and that N. Dak is to left of Wisconsin. It has to be, otherwise it would be too far west for any kind of Dakota. But, I usually though of Wyoming being next to Wisc. Now I do not know, but sticking with first guess at beginning of this long paragraph. Oh, I need to tell you something funny - In Seattle, all the women wait until they are 35 to have their first! It's ridiculous and a lie of society that this is wise - to wait, wait, and wait - to live a life, travel, to date 10 guys long term until you settle. There are thousands of women here over 35 who waited too long. It's tragedy in a way, since they at this point in life have good resources for a child. Anywho, my point is that I'm so very not accustomed to seeing a younger woman with a child who is not either the sister of the child, or the babysitter. In my manipulated brain - privy to the culture of waiting until 35 to start with kids in urban areas - wrong don't do it! (I'm in health care know it's an ill advised decision often) - that anyway to me I'm saying that any photograph of same sort you had would be of a women easily 10 to 15 years older (i.e. the sister of mother etc. would even be older - so an "aunt" would never even possibly be under 30 most often) - It's weird! and Cheesy! All in meantime, there are thousands upon thousands in our region of Immigrants (not that I have a problem with Immigrants) who are walking around pushing one stroller, three kids in a chain behind, and one in the oven - uh, and the mom is - you guessed it - oh, about 22 at that point - i.e. done with 'business'. It's a phenomenon you wouldn't believe it unless you saw it - or perhaps it's the same there in Fargo, etc. Anyway I'm not bitter! I don't even have a kid. Wish I did. Working on it. So, send my wacky ways identity to any 30 something you know who worships John Cleese and send me a dead parrot for the wedding. I do not like fact I grew up with pop psychologists all over the NW telling me to "find my bliss" when I could have been bonding in a true relationship and being a more young healthy age to have a child. Now, it's almost too late. You don't want to be in this position, rushing and panicing. It's not worth it. Me, and too many Seattle women are in same boat. Hey! Do these posts go public on the site? I have no idea, nor do I care much, but it is sort of for you. I am ASSuming that you were sincere in saying 'sorry about slightly angered mail' - and I do accept! - but if everything is public wouldnt' you kind of HAVE to keep the "peace" so to speak? Just wondering, though I know I'm right. Who likes to rock the Cheese Boat. There's an awesome manicotti dish called a Cheese Boat with four cheeses. I get it in Seattle at Romio's pizza and pasta (no plug intended). It's bliss. My old man advice of today - find your bliss in cheese and to all you young lasses (this might be public post) - do not wait until your mid thirties to procreate! Anyway what is your "id" for cheese site. I have to be a male hooker since I feel my friends who may or may not check out my ravings won't have my name attached for their own evil intentions. Do you watch Red Dwarf out there? If so, what's favorite character? You must have seen it. Say hi to your nice guy prom date and after looking second time his smile was not smug just kind of 'content'. Ciao - "carl"

It's cheese. When in doubt assume the best. I believe I said you were a goddess. Would I have said that if I didn't mean it? You are cute so I told you independent of age or parenting status. I did mean it as a joke so sorry about that not coming through. I'm a bit suburbian and would not have truly comprehended a freshman having a baby. That is not to say someone having one at 14 would be at all bad. Many cultures are cool with that, and I personally hold dear some friends whose son married at 17 when legal and I think she was maybe less than 16! Also, age wouldn't comment on your social behaviors (i.e. implications of being less than monogamous or wholesome). I'm an Iowan originally, and understand the midwest community, but overall got my understanding of more mid-america culture from the Palouse, where my ex donated the Palouse Falls to the state. She is the v.p. and owner of a company which runs a 50,000 acre ranch. Truly, the fact you can work the country element of america to your advantage is all with you. There is a certain humility bourne out of the land, of experience, and of the natural work ethic and basic integrity which is represented by the midwest. I am proud my family chose to live there for several years, independent of my having the good fortune of being on the ranch for some time in my new home state of Wa. I am a highlander, a Scot, a conservative Christian, and have no idea why you went to assuming I was insulting you. Obviously it was mis-interpreted, and in the spirit of cheesy humor I would probably do it again. It's release. Our good fellows from Cambridge might back me on this one. They also had the wileyness to be the best comedy team in history without uttering single offensive, foul, or mean spirited (i.e. you swearing to defend your turf and basically intimidate me) word in many decades of professionalism. They are the best. Listen, learn, and live it. I'm 43 and use their clean, first rate sense of silliness and world improvement for my own release and if here on cheese board it's probably going to keep flowing if I'm doing it right. Hey if were the Rodeo culture clash agenda site I'm feeling from you by your putting a divisively smug looking black hatted fellow on your picture in lieu of just saying "what did you mean" (would have worked for me) I wouldn't doubt your motives so much. My cowboy friends went to Berkely at the ages of 16 and graduated by 19. I'm all for clean air, ranch beef, and living by your gut. You see we are the same. Your kind fellow must have heard the mantra "blessed are the cheesemakeers!" If so, it's me who is overstepping. But if he's just representing a regional cultural agenda the yuppie despising agenda, I propose he use his good fortune of being a north dakotan and trading the hubris for the non swearing, ethic ridden, academic halls of those who you and I must aspire to emulate by definition of us attending the site. Be a sport, nudge, nudge, say no more. Cheers and be careful out there. Your in h.s. and with all the pressures on you guys, all this talk of babies and that might be a wake up call in disguise. I do hope the best - and why wouldn't I at least 75 percent of my e-mail was adulatory and complimentary. - Sincerely, fred garvin male prostitue.

You said fricken! I just realized you are a junior in high school! Wow you must have had that baby when you were a freshman! I would like to have a baby. You are a German Goddess but need to wait a couple years then I'll give you my number. Anyway that little cheesehead should be sent to british boarding school and wear little shirts and ties. Has the snow melted and given you sparkling fresh drinking water? No! That's not gatorade! I cannot believe you are building little citizens where you live making them bust ass on sandbagging. That's awesome! But, you must leave that town immediately since you are replacing those who might be duly employed by our government since sandbagging is a bloody great "green" job. You are taking food from the mouths of little Obama babes. I cannot play your now playing something is wrong. It's not playing. I don't understand why it's a white box when I press "view" unless that's the show. Total white out.
