27... I hope you aren't asking because I sound like a child or something :(

Mad at you, baby?

How could I ever be angry at you? You stopped messaging me

Hahaha that was actually meant to be a compliment kinda. Saying you need a new life so you can do everything you wished you could.

Yeah beh beh...I'm finally in your part of the world. That's sooooo cool!
Me likey the idea of your passport screaming for a Mexican stamp....and just think, there's a kitchen just screaming for me to cook you dinner.
Mwah

Thank you for your comment, you're quite right!

Dear NJ

Thank you for thinking that I am "personable". My gf thinks I have many nerdish traits - inspite of which she loves me. However, I think that by-and-large you are correct: math, science and engineering people are nerdish and typically socially retarded. My son is a prime example - he's currently doing his PhD in math here at U Missouri. Of course, there are exceptions, but I'm affriad they prove the rule.

My first degree is in mechanical engineering and then I switched to math. I was a total double nerd. In 1986 I became a Deacon in the Catholic Church and then started developing a few people skills. My wonderful wife, who is also a mathematician, and an exception as far as people kills are concerned, helped me develop people skills along the way.

To change the subject, I love your posts. You are so lucid, incisive and articulate. You once mentioned that you suffer depression but our posts do not seem to be those of a depressed personality.

Kind regards and best wishes

well i just wanted to say hi... and great pics you have posted ..ty so much x

Hey njqt466!

Thanks for the welcome! Not sure if I am always spot on with my advice but I suspect, like yours, that what I say is colored by what I have learned as I have moved through life. This forum has been a revelation! I have already learned a lot and have come to understand that there are some very smart people here (yourself included!). Equally, there are some truly awful people here too but we won't talk about them!

I originally intended to lurk before participating fully in the forums but you have probably guessed by now that I have a big gob! At some point I guess I should get around to formally introducing myself to everyone here... :)

Work it out NJ. You dominated the bridal show no doubt. High bridal fashion. Yet another amazing and interesting thing about you!
