Oh LOOK! I'm a 91% match for myself!!! I'm thinking that other 9% may be a deal breaker though! ; )So...I understand the whole "Friends Network" and "wink" and "Favorites" thing but here's the thing, the "Friends Network" is down so I can't even access it (and I'm new-ish so not really sure what it entails) and the "wink" thing and "Faves" things? Well, let's just say that I'd rather bypass all that and just, I don't know....talk? What better way to see if there's anything there? So just send me an email instead...I won't bite...I may just respond! And now "The Profile":I�m a caring, kind-hearted person, of the female persuasion. I think I have a pretty good sense of humour because I make myself laugh. Meaning I can laugh with me as well as AT me! Wait a minute, that might have come out wrong: I do only have the one personality or so I tell myself. ; )Here are the some of the things I enjoy:Music of all kinds (blues, jazz, classic rock, classical, opera, world to name a few or, did I name them all?).Wine: I prefer white but you won�t have to twist my arm to sip on a really fabulous red!! OR a dark brown ale for that matter!FOOD: Love it! ALL of it!! Out for dinner makes me a happy, happy KAREN!Friends: Should be at the top of this list�my FAVORITE things.Reading: I try to stretch my brain a little and when it hurts I turn to a good whodunnit! Ok, it's the other way around but either way..I can read! A couple of my favorites are Gabriel Garcia Marquez "Love in the Time of Cholera" (NOT the movie) and "Chronicle of a Death Foretold"; and Voltaire "Candide". What I�m looking for is a warm-hearted, passionate, demonstrative, caring relationship with a man who cares about people. Someone who knows himself and knows what he wants. Someone who would love to take me under his wing and teach me how he enjoys life but give me the credit for learning it. Someone who�s not afraid to learn a thing or two from me. Open mindedness is key! I�d like to find someone who wants to bring out the adventurer that I know is hiding in me and busting to get out!!By the way, must like (or at least tolerate)cat. Cat that would make your dog hide his head in shame. He makes me do that every day, (�TLS� ask me).Good grief, I need a dog.So, if this is you, not the dog/cat reference but the people stuff above then drop me a line.
