Intelligent, Funny, Passionate, Articulate, Honest
Describe Yourself:

5'10" blonde, bearded, athletic (sprint triathlons), ponytailed, 58 years young. One of the few, the proud, those who will not abide the insanity of the maniacal right wing fringe acolytes of Sara Palin, and the party of 'NO,' insisting on BLOCKING anything Obama wants to do (that '...hopey, changey, thing...'), and destroying our democracy along the way.
On Gather, I'm Looking For ...:

An exchange of intelligent ideas, simpatico people (...and hopefully, wistfully, IF there remain any single, attractive, active, and ideally, local, women interested in who knows what, **PING ME!**

HELLOOOOOO!

I'm not bragging. . .Well, yes I am. I believe I have the most eclectic Group--outofourshells--and People connections than any grouping on Gather.

It has been my pleasure to find and invite new people to mingle with those who have been with me for a while. It is my wish for you to use these groupings to your advantage. If you have a group of your own, please think of outofourshells as a second home. If you belong to other groups, please think of outofourshells when you publish. Anyone is welcome to join as long as they agree with the Group's
description--which is mainly to show respect and to remember arguing is not the same as fighting. It is more akin to debating.

I have tried to attract as diverse a population as possible. I want our group and connections to to educate--as well as--learn from each other.

Thank you for your joining up and I look forward to your offerings!

Sincerely,
Nyota

P.S. I am sending this article to all of the Groups with which I am connected. I don't want to miss anyone ([;p)] !

Dear Peter, Names Ron, Harley-Riding-Stone-Mason from Montana, I designed and built this fine memorial, almost all by myself, even the water-fall. Please see the web about it at www.beaverhead.com/veterans , then click on progress. I know everythings going bad, the morals are bad, I couldn't even get guys to work for $35.00 an hour last year. It took me 2 years to get custody of a son who was burned with cigarettes,beat, locked in a closet, all because social services in Nebraska said"she's still the mother", we've got perverts, rapers having it easy in Prison, they're protect. I see your point. but, what's the solution? I myself believe the Viganteeism worked and could work again. (that's what they did in the old days, if they didn't want your type around , they put a sign on your door that said,7-7-7. ron

Hi pete, I totally agree with you about that Jackass in the white house. He has ruined the United States reputation and the way the rest of the world sees us. He almost makes being an American now something to be ashamed of being.
