2. I'm in the lowcountry. I need to travel my state more. We have a hiking trail from the coast to the
mountains. I would love to do it, but can find no takers to go with me.

10. Would love to hike, not a fan of getting submersed in water tho.
Haven't done a lot of hiking, but man I have an ever-growing need to be surrounded by nature - no concrete, no advertisement billboards, no cell phone towers - off the grid as it were.

Snorkeling - never done it. Fascinated by sea life, but I'm a Capricorn, I like my feet on solid ground.

31. How long would it take?
I'm no expert hiker, but I've always wanted to learn. I live in NC. Are you in NC or SC?

9. Believe it or not
I don't own a digital camera, and that was one I sent from a cell phone to my email address recently. Don't have a lot of pics of myself.

12. I don't own a digital cam either.
The one I keep posting here is really old (well a few years) but Lioness put it on her photobucket and then sent me the link to my inbox here. So it's just easy to copy and paste that link into the photo threads on DU.

I have a few pics of me up on MySpace and Facebook but I am too lazy to link them to a thread on DU. I just use the old one, over and over and over...

:) :hi:

13. All my life.
Which is getting on at this point.

I'll probably relocate at some point in the next few years. Maybe the southwest. Although I've always had a strange urge to move to Wisconsin.

15. Thank ya. Just a milestone for me. Still remember when I joined DU.
Edited on Wed Mar-25-09 10:36 PM by Skip Intro
Man, I was so scared to post anything then.

You know, and some gripe about it not being as pure or whatever as it was, but I still love the place.

It's a turbulent home sometimes - GDP last year was effin insane - but it's my online home.

Thanks for your congrats dude.

:toast:

What are you drinking?

I am sober this evening. I haven't had a drink since Saturday, which is a good stretch for me. I work second shift and I like to unwind by going to this little bar that is close to work. I don't have a lot, since closing time comes quick by the time I get out of work, but I do go almost every night that I work.

28. Wild Turkey (80) and diet coke.
Dude, what part of the country are you in? I just ended a sentence with a preposition, you're not supposed to do that.

Turkey and diet.

Then again, there is Turkey 101. But that's a whole other thing.

32. Ah, the free country.
I can't even imagine the differences between your state and mine. New England votes almost always as a blue block, and my state, well, we have some great people here on the coast, but the SC usually goes red with the rest of the region. I'm still smiling about NC last election.

I'd love to travel to CT.

36. CT is cool.
Expensive, though.

New England is very cool. I love it. Lots to do. Not far from major cities. Lots of different climate and culture. Good stuff.

38. It's cool you like the place you live.
Did you live there from birth?

For a long time I hated living here. Yeah, we got some stereotypes and some of that is deserved. But the town I live in, Summerville, just outside of Charleston, is just beautiful. I like it more and more, my home, but I must leave. I'm drawn toward the north. Can't explain it.

33. Well, See If This Helps:
Brett Favre X Donald Driver + Greg Jennings ÷ Paul Hornung - Bart Starr + Ray Nitschke ÷ Aaron Rodgers X Curly Lambeau = ?

4 x 80 + 85 ÷ 5 - 15 + 66 ÷ 12 x 1 = ?
