[Ladyrose1952]

I am originally from Oregon City Oregon and moved here to Washington State in the early 80's and have been here ever since.

I am a mother and a grand mother and I will be 54 in January 2006. I am 5ft-6, I have lost 35 pounds since July1,2005 and am still working on it. I have cut my hair ro shoulder length since taking this picture but I am still just me. I love the outdoors and the mountains, the beach and everything in nature.

My interests are cooking, collecting movies and Video games, animals, gardening, landscaping, camping, fishing, sketching wildlife, slow walks in the mountains and the ocean beaches and anything that nature can provide for relaxation. Not to mention anything else that suits my fancy. I work six days a week, driving for The Senior Services here, I watch two of my grand children on the weekends, and otherwise am busy all of the time.

Some would say I am attractive and I smile easily. I am a big woman, with a big heart. I am honest, independent and very passionate about everything that I do. I am one of those honest women in the world that you have to keep your eyes and ears open to find. We are the women who are gentle, but quiet, who are raising our families, takeing care of our lives and existing day to day. Unfortunately, there aren't many of us like this anymore, but we are out here.
I am not in search of anything in particular as I have been alone for a long time and it seems to suit me. But I crave friendship and at times companionship which I haven't enjoyed for a long time either.

I live here in The Columbia River Gorge in Washington State and there are mostly trees and wildlife and not many people that are what I would say friendship material. I don't use drugs, drink much, go to bars or do many of the things that people do around here, so I mostly stay here at home when I am not working and take care of the one remaining child that I have at home.

I have been single mother of four for almost 23 years, working to support and raise them alone the entire time. I now have five grand children with the two older ones who are on their own now.

I hope to hear from you in the near future. Take care and keep up that smile!? LOL

Jon, the easy way, if you don't have a pic uploaded someplace on the internet, is to push the post reply button and then under the dialogue box, where you type your post, if you scroll down a bit, you'll see a section called Additional Options. Under that is a larger button that says Manage Attachments. Press that and a little box will open that will allow the browser to browse your hard drive. Find the pic you want to post and then click Upload and you're on your way. That creates an attachment pic for your post.

The other ways is, if you have a pic already uploaded to your web space, or Photo Bucket, or somesuch, then right above where you type in your post is a little yellow icon button that has a little pic of a mountain and sun. Roll your mouse over it and it says Insert Image. Click that and it will let you paste in the URL where your pic is located on the web and it automatically codes it for you, telling the browser where to find your lovely pic. :)

Funny that you folks should mention "Stargate SG-1".

The photo below is one that I took from our deck last December, looking north toward Colorado Springs. The tallest mountain (the one with snow on it) is Pikes Peak. The last one on the right (just above the porch light on the house behind us) is Cheyenne Mountain, a solid granite mountain that was hollowed out back in the '60s to house NORAD.

It's also where the Stargate is supposed to be. But I can't verify that - I work for a defense contractor in Colorado Springs and have a "Secret" security clearance, but I've never been in that complex....

Perhaps the Stargate really is in Cheyenne Mountain.....hmmmmm

[Loscos]

If you've got security clearance, see how far you can get in, and take pictures.

If you've got security clearance, see how far you can get in, and take pictures.
Even with my clearance, going in there with a camera would end up with a nervous 19-year-old pointing an M-16 at my head......

[ataraxia]

Not only a fellow Pittsburgher, but also a fellow South Hills resident. I live in Mt. Lebanon with my girlfriend.

Indeed it is good to be an FA here. Between the perogies, the Primantis' and the salads with fries, it's nearly impossible for most people to stay thin.
Not to mention, the gravy fries (ever been to Shorty's Lunch down in Washington?) and various fun Max & Erma's and Eat'n'Park stuff.

I used to work in an Eat'n'Park (Peters Twp) where I once poured 2 gallons of fresh ranch dressing on myself. (I hope someone spit their drink out for that. :D) No sightings for yunz, though.

You wouldn't happen to be any relation to Changes McGillicuddy, that boulder-roller bass player with Chops M'Bopolous, would you?

No relation, no. But I did once sup with the man and his lovely Missus. And a strange character they couldn't believe I actually fancied.

My name is Buffie.

[Tad]

Hi I'm Ed, and I don't post here as much as I used to but you'll still see me around.

I'm in my late thirties, married to a smallish BBW, have one very active grade-school aged son, techy desk jockey, have 'friar tuck' hair, and increasingly his waist line too.

Live in Canada, currently in south-west ontario, after a decade up in Ottawa, but have also lived in a small town in Manitoba and in Montreal.

I like music with a slightly unsettling edge, books that let me escape from reality, TV shows that ask questions without always answering them, news in print and without too much spin, cats, rehashing old events with friends and then finding totally new things to talk about, my wife's cooking, good sleep, games and especially role-playing games, bicycling, fat, and figuring out better ways to do things.

I dislike mediocrity, people who won't listen to other viewpoints, doing things "to be accepted", being a wage slave, yappy dogs, long hours at work, and shoot-outs to break ties in regular season hockey games.

Unfortunately after a couple of recent computer changes, I don't have any scanned pictures handy.

-Ed

[Carol W.]

I'm somewhat of an oldtimer here; I'll be glad to share my info, but can't show my face because I STILL don't know how to do that.

I'm 55 years old, retired teaching assistant with a BA in English Lit and Philosophy. I grew up on a dairy farm in upstate NY near the Vermont border. I still live on a piece of property that my parents gave us-it's precious to me because I loved our farm very much. I've been married for 33 years to a really wonderful man. He is a service tech in the dairy industry(that pays the bills) and is also an artist of significant talent (that is his real love.) We have no children but have always had cats, and they have been our babies.

I have long brown hair, green eyes, very fair skin, and wear what we used to call in my youth "granny glasses". I am 5'5 and a half inches tall and weigh somewhere between 420 and 440. I never wear jeans, slacks, shorts, pants, etc. Only long dresses, jumpers, and skirts. Partly because that's what I like, partly because I have lymphedema in my lower legs and pants are very uncomfortable. In the summer, I wear gypsy-ish dresses, and in the other seasons, I dress basically goth. No studs, piercings, leather, green hair, or platform boots, just a lot of flowing black and goth jewelry. I love being a fat old goth and dressing as eccentric as I please, now that I no longer have to work and "conform" to a given dresscode! I don't TRY to be eccentric, I just want to be the way I am, and usually, that ends up being viewed as eccentric. Oh, well......

I love animals, (well, most animals) the country, reading, (at work, they called me "Bookwoman") movies, my family and friends, holidays, my house is furnished in country decor, and I think Lilo and Stitch is the best thing Disney ever came up with. I adore cold iced tea, raspberries, and roast turkey. You already know I love goth fashion and goth literature and movies, especially if they have a vampire or two in them!

I dislike snakes (intensely) noise, smoke, cities, and people who "should" on me. I hate the fact that my supersize body is going south as I progress thru my fifties. My mobility becomes more challenging with every passing year, but no more diet/weight loss schemes, clubs, drugs, etc for me. I really loath WLS and am convinced that someday it will go the way of lobotomies and indiscriminate shock treatment. It's a brutal solution to a challenging condition.

I love the new boards and the energy Conrad puts in to accommodate us and allow us to gather here together. Dimensions has really given me so much, and I enjoy and appreciate every one of you!!!

About me: I've lurked here for ages, but stopped for awhile, when I found the format of the board changed.

[Fat Gary NYC]

I guess it's time for me to introduce myself to all of you. I hope you don't mind but I'm going to go my own way and not use the form that everyone else seems to be using.

My name is Gary and I'm from NYC. I'm 43 (my birthday was 2½ weeks ago), 5'9", weight 325lbs (23.2 stone), and I wear size 60 pants.

I've always been very uncomfortable socially, especially dealing with women. I know that there are men who like big women, but I was surprised to see that there actually is a category for those who go the other way... that is, that there actually are women who like big guys ("big" in the sense of fat, as opposed to "big" in the strength/athletic sense).

Needless to say I haven't had much experience in the dating field. Let me put it this way... when I saw "The 40 Year Old Virgin" I was taking notes on its accuracy! (Don't know whether to put a :) or a :( here... I guess a little bit of both is appropriate...)

Enough poormouthing... what else can I tell you about me? I work in civil service, am a big comic book fan (Harvey Pekar's "American Splendor" and Tom Beland's "True Story, Swear To God" are two of my favorites), and am interested in stamps, coins, sports memorabilia, collecting in general. I like classic rock, have been to ten Bruce Springsteen concerts, root for the NY Mets (2006 will be our year!), and The Apprentice, Frasier, Monty Python, The Price Is Right and Northern Exposure are among my favorite TV shows.

I don't consider myself that well informed politically but I consider myself an open-minded conservative... for instance I like listening to Dr. Laura but I don't agree with everything she says...

I don't see myself losing weight anytime soon, I'm certainly not doing anything specific in that regard (I do eschew sweets and drink diet soda, but that's because I have the Diabetes), but on the other hand I'm not looking to gain weight either. I do enjoy eating... I like all-you-can-eat Chinese buffets, and I've ordered the "Big Papa Special" from Papa John's (an extra large pizza with an order of cheese sticks) many times and eaten it all myself , though sometimes I have left over a slice or two... there's also a "Little Ceasar's" on 14th Street in Manhattan where I can get a large pizza, an order of "Crazy Bread" and a free-refills soda for just under $10.00, I don't go there every day but I guess I go there enough that one of the cashiers recognizes me and I don't even have to order... (again, that might rate a :) but I'm gonna give it a :( because I like my anonymity...)

So on the one hand I don't worry too much about my eating but on the other I do try to be careful to some extent.

I'd post a picture of me but I don't have access to a scanner... probably better that way because I don't want to frighten you away... :eek: get to know me personally and THAT'LL be enough to scare you away... :D

I guess that's enough for now. So until next time, goodbye and thanks for reading.

I also hope to get my girlfriend to join- since shes a very nice young lady, but is unhappy about her size at present.

Nice to meet y'all.

Now that her "new" ID is revealed is she going to try for a 3rd?
She should make the next one a lesbian! Then no one would ever guess!

If I hadn't repped you yesterday for superficial reasons (yer just so darn cute), I would rep you for making me laugh out loud with this one.


p.s. It is possible to turn over a new leaf, Ladyrose. I'm pulling for you.

is there a rule against coming back with a new persona and not making it clear it's the same old same old?

probably not, right?

Perhaps Webmaster or one of the Mods(if they have the tools) could do an IP lookup just to rest all suspicions?

As far as I know, it's not against the rules, and I usually say nothing when I see it. The only time I recall outing someone, there was some medium-intensity fraud involved, and much dispute over this person's identity.

I probably shouldn't have said anything this time, but when it follows such hateful "gay people are gross and so is Dimensions" posts by fewer than 24 hours, I just go all Billy Jack.

You're absolutely right to be concerned, YoFlaco. Rest assured, I would never have posted what I did without verifying it first.

Honestly now, Ladyrose. Is it really easier to change your identity, than to apologize for your gay-hate posts?

I thought she left and was going to be a lurker?

[sirumberto]

I'm not one to spread too much info around the internet, but here goes:

Location: Somewhere deep in the heart of Texas
Age: 22
Sex: Male

Happily Married for closing in on two years now.

I'd rather not post a picture right now, but I'm about 6'2" 200lbs. Have a bit of a nerdy look to me but I'm happy with it.

I've really been a fan of big girls for a long time really. So soft and huggable. I met the girl of my dreams a few years back and married her, and from what I've gathered from lurking is that around here she'd be considered average weight in Dimensions terms. I'm not a feeder, nor do I particularly want her to gain weight as I think she's beautiful just the way she is, but I don't hold it against people who want to do the whole weight gain thing. (And for the record, if she did gain weight, I'd still think she was beautiful and love every ounce.)

I guess the two main reasons I joined up are that I want to have some exposure to people who don't think fat is ugly, and to figure out how to get my wife to be more comfortable and happy with who she is.

Thanks for reading. :)

Thank you, Jeroen :) You just made my blush again! :kiss2: :kiss2:

[butch]

Name[/B] Butch

Age I never give away my age, but lets just say I was old enough to see the Smiths in concert during their final US tour

Location An undisclosed location near VP Cheney, and its undisclosed only because nobody ever asks where it is, :(

Profession Student and Slacker, professional division

Music All of it, please, and right now. The last CD I bought (yes, I'm old fashioned) was the latest Dixie Chicks CD, and loved it. I think its their best ever. My first musical love was Burl Ives, and right now I worship the ground that Patty Griffin walks on. But my first concert was a KISS concert, so I'll always have room in my heart for a good rock song, and love most anything by AC/DC.

Likes Um, potatoes, dogs, good movies that make me cry,funny, smart, sensitive people who aren't afraid to be who they are, Angelina Jolie, Peter Sarsgaard, October, friendly debates, and you good people.

Dislikes Hmm, onions, hairy spiders, stupid movies with lots of exploding cars, mean-spirited self-absorbed people who only care about fitting in, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Kenny Chesney, August, political shout-fests, and fat haters.

About me Not much else to say. I'm not too bright when it comes to computers, I'm a contradiction and I too think that lacree is cute. i don't believe in photos (I like to think that I share the same opinion of those cultures which believe that each photo of an individual takes a little bit of that person's spiritual essence), but I wish I looked like this (only fat):

[activistfatgirl]

You people without photos make me SO curious...

[butch]

You know, play hard to get?



Not that it works for me, mind you, but I still have hope.

[sirumberto]

I may post a pic soon, but I always worry that'll come back to haunt me later. I tend to be a very private person, but you all seem like a nice community, and I guess at some point, everyone needs to feel like they're not a complete weirdo and be around people who share some particular point of view.

[Jes]

should i be playing hard, or easy, to get? i can't make either work. :)

Oh.My.God.

You are like, so hot.

Have you thought of moving the bachelor pad to Texas?;)

Did anyone call dibs on this one? If not, dibs:p

[Boteroesque Babe]

should i be playing hard, or easy, to get?
Just play.

[sirumberto]

I'd say be attainable, but not too easy to get. Think like a cat. Once you catch their attention show them that they have your attention as well. Don't immediately go in for the kill, flirt and tease them for a while first. Just don't tease TOO much. That's just painful... :rolleyes:

This is one just guy's perspective from someone who's glad to not have to deal with dating though. :p

[activistfatgirl]

Oh.My.God.

You're funny and completely anonymous. Don't make me stalk you. I'll do it, butchie.

...kinda like flip-flops?

AFG,

Yeah, I'm dreamier when I don't have to get all gussied up to impress you people. Think of me as an internet version of the imaginary SO. You know, the kind that came in so handy during high school? Mine was a muscle-bound auto mechanic with a temper. We had some poignant, first love-type moments, that mechanic and I, if only in my head.
