[Theatrmuse/Kara]

Name: Kara
Age: 50 (for another week or so!)

Location: Asheville, North Carolina
Profession: Part-time college professor
Music: ALL kinds, classic rock, classical and country are main favorites
Likes: Singing, theatre, MUSIC, movies, family and friends
Dislikes: telemarketers and close minded people
About me: Very involved with Size/Fat acceptance movement, adoption advocate, passionate about teaching, acting on stage and singing with "Womansong".

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.
