Please let me introduce myself. I'm 43, a recent widower, and
father
of
12 and 10 yr old boys, and a 7 yr old girl. I live in an =extremely=
remote
area on a small island. Due to my mother and my wife both dying of
cancer
in
20 months I am very financially secure and I was able to retire to
care
for
the kids and myself. As I write this I'm having a massive anxiety
attack
and
waiting for the meds to kick in.
If there is =one= thing I've learned over the past year of going
it
alone, it is this:
If you wait long enough, eventually everything goes on sale!!!!!
LOL!!!
Also, the statistics say that anyone over 40 and single has a 3%
chance
of remarrying. I intend to fight the odds! :-) I'm no quitter!!!
My name and e-mail address etc, have been totally munged to
prevent
spam
and unfriendlies from tracking me around. Just call me Bob.
Have a great day!
Bob



**** stats! I'm 40 and preparing to be married for the first time.
So
there.
I'm no net nanny. You do not have to change the way you talk; I've
said
quite a few choice words in my day. I have one four letter word that I
use
constantly whenever I whack myself with a hammer or bop my shin with an
axe,
"Ouch!" I am also not above saying Hell or Damn. I'm not yer average
"don't
drink, dance, chew, or hang with them that do" kinda guys.
Nice to meet you Bob,,,,,hmmm remote island,,,,,,BC?
You are way off by =several= thousand miles, and my island is so
small
it does not show up on maps. I used to give the latitude and longitude
and
people would spit back at me, "There's nothing there!" I'm like, uh, me
and
the Coast Guard disagree!



Remote island, eh? Welcome to the group. When can we have our annual
newsgroup gathering on your island? lol

I think we should find out if there are plam trees there first LOL

It'd give me a reason to get the boat all spruced up too.
If you could make it out the inlet and into the ocean you'd have to be a
genius. Even the USCG runs aground. This area is known as "The Graveyard of
the Atlantic".

Gee, I'll have to ask the professor and Mary-Ann....
Seriously, it is waaaaaaaaay too expensive to come here. It costs the
average touron (contraction of tourist and moron) $1000 per day to
vacation
here. The local government decided at a recent meeting that they want us
to
be "the next Martha's Vineyard", IOW, too exclusive for anybody but real
bigshots. Real estate values have more than quadrupled in 4 years. There
is
no end in sight. The only reason I have anything is because my late wife
was
a native and we got a house and land cheap from her brother. It's now
worth
a fortune. The great thing with islands is that when the land is gone,
it's
gone. Al Gore vacations here, and Andy Griffith lives right down the
road.
TTFN,
Bob

Well, Cape Hatteras looks like it has great beaches but I didn't see
any palm trees there in the pics. isn't the climate pretty good down
there in the Carolinas? I wouldn't know. Haven't been.

It'd give me a reason to get the boat all spruced up too.

If you could make it out the inlet and into the ocean you'd have to be a
genius. Even the USCG runs aground.

Ah.

This area is known as "The Graveyard of the Atlantic".

Hmm...

Are we getting any closer to identifying where it is yet, People? ;-)

The Carolinas are nice. I'm north of Hatteras, it's a bit cooler.

Well, I was going to say SC but Isabel hit farther north so I'd say
you're in Prince of Tides country somewhere.
