New photo taken 1/26/2020 .
In my experience , the men in my life put next to nothing into a relationship , but wanted a hell of a lot from me . It didn't work out . I posted a request to see what people were willing to put into a relationship and what they expected to get out of one . Again , there was very little anyone was willing to invest in a relationship . My cats put more into a relationship than people are willing to do , so I'm withdrawing my dating site search . I'm happier on my own .
My folks weren't educated or rich , but Dad was good with his hands . He improved and/or expanded every place we lived in . I used what I learned from him , bought property , and improved them , rented them out , then sold them at a profit . At one point , I owned four properties .

Full Bio

Mom spent the last 52 years of her life living in Bermuda . I stopped counting my round trips to the northern tip of the Bermuda triangle after 14 . I've also visited Mexico , England , Scotland , Wales , Austria , Bavaria , and France . Oh , and California . It's foreign too , in it's own way .
Due to an ongoing stream of scammers on all dating sites , my permanent policy is that , no matter what the justification you give , I never , any circumstances send money .
Sapiosexual . High IQ , voracious reader , love Sci/Fi/Fantasy , non-smoker , seldom have any alcohol , don't use illegal drugs . Two adult children on their own . Two cats their Mom left with me .
I like being me . I like the person I have become . I like where I am at this point , in my life . I like what I've accomplished . And now , retirement suites me . I live in a nice little castle , with a long skinny moat out back . I enjoy LARPs , SciFiFantasy Cons , playing D & D , an occasional movie , catching up on all the TV shows I missed , while putting myself through college ( earned a BS in IFSM ) , swimming , and a little gardening .

 I am so fed up with even hearing about our Pres, that I simply remove the source , when anyone posts anything about Trump .
  those who think it's important , I don't wear make up , and don't have any on , in the photos . I truly wish this body was healthier than it is , and thinner , but I still manage . 
 I prefer people who are constructive , not distructive . I  have no desire to be with those who choose to smoke , use illegal drugs , or are alcoholic . Absolutely will not put up with abuse of any kind , I'm better than that . I'm not here to bail you out . My donations go to Planned Parenthood . Interesting , when I first signed up , they were showing 9 in the 80 % and 90 % ranges . Eventually , I posted that I wondered , with changes and updates , over time , if they re-evaluated the percentages . Which they immediately did . Apparently , over time , I raised the bar .

Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know.

Cast1es comments on Feb 9, 2018:

High IQ tends to put you outside of the main-stream . In elementary school , you don't , "fit in. " You tend to get bullied . You become an introvert and tend to turn to reading , which puts you even further from the level of the kids in your classes . It doesn't actually mean you aren't happy . It means your happiness isn't derived from being with friends your own age . You're looking for friends your own mental age , who may have difficulty connecting with you , due to your physical age and development . I find myself smiling much more now , than at any point earlier in my life .

How agreeable this to you?

Cast1es comments on Feb 9, 2018:

Would counter with , your rights end , where my nose begins , meaning we both have rights .

Is there any Terry Pratchett, Robert Rankin, Tom Holt readers out there....

Cast1es comments on Feb 8, 2018:

Loved Terry Prachett , especially his Witch World . Wonderful puns ! Met him at a SciFi Con . Terry is missed . Also enjoyed Isaac Asimov , Andrea Norton , Robert Heinline , some David Eddings . Do you know where your towel is (Adams) ? Oh , and the series about the tavern with so many not quite normal customers . Who wrote those ? OH ! And the Myth series by Robert Asprin !

Are there any good movies coming out this year?

Cast1es comments on Feb 8, 2018:

I visited the Winchester House many years back . It was interesting . I'm interested in seeing the movie . starring Helen Mirain .

I have a question for both believers and unbelievers.

Cast1es comments on Feb 8, 2018:

Happily single—or not?

Cast1es comments on Feb 8, 2018:

Much happier single , than when I was married .

What do you say when someone sneezes?

Cast1es comments on Feb 8, 2018:

The word bless , means to make happy . I can't be angry at someone wishing happiness on me , even it it's by an entity I don't believe in. I just say thank you , and move on .

Why must dating lead somewhere?

Cast1es comments on Feb 8, 2018:

Early in my teen years , Mom borrowed a library book , and told me to read certain chapters . The book explained that dating was a way to learn about a person , before you select a mate . A lot of others , decided dating , was a way of having no-strings-attached sex , and consider all women prostitutes . The 2015 census (googled it ) states , it now costs over a quarter of a million dollars ($250,000) , to have and raise a child . In my opinion , a man , who wants sex , but is unwilling to invest in a relationship , is not someone worth risking having a child with .

blocking a god believer?

Cast1es comments on Feb 8, 2018:

While many friends are believers , I only block those who feel the need to pontificate routinely .

Has Anyone Here Had Lasik Eye Surgery?

Cast1es comments on Feb 7, 2018:

Yes , I've had eye surgery . It has improved my vision , but I still need to wear glasses . My problems are related to diabetes , and allows me to continue reading reading , watching movies , and driving . And the lenses on my glasses are much thinner , and thereby lighter weight .

How do you handle cabin fever?

Cast1es comments on Feb 7, 2018:

A well stocked in-home personal library , a furry friend or two , cup of warm sweet liquid (hot chocolate , coffee , etc. for starters .) Some kind of in-home projects to be worked on sewing , crafts ( garb , art , practice music instrument , writing , plans for warmer weather activities , such as gardening , traveling )

As a technical Genius.

Cast1es comments on Feb 7, 2018:

I've found that , generically speaking , high IQ folks , seem more likely , to be less socially adept . I don't think it's because they consider themselves above others . They consider themselves , "normal ." I think it's more because of the difficulty in understanding , how others can believe and live by , some of the weird things they consider real or normal . And slowly back away . And , yes, living with disabilities does present more of a challenge .

Who else loves British comedy ?

Cast1es comments on Feb 5, 2018:

Red Dwarf was a favorite . I was watching a newer program about Death or possibly Murder in Paradise , when I suddenly realized one of the officers , was the cat from Red Dwarf .

Do you like dragons?

Cast1es comments on Feb 2, 2018:

My current position in my LARP group is High Priestess of the Dragon Temple . I was appointed to this position after she visited my home . In my D&D group , my character is , "dragon-born ." I've been working at converting my scooter into a dragon for events such as Sci/Fi Cons .

Favorite early SF/Fantasy Book

Cast1es comments on Feb 1, 2018:

I've always been a voracious reader . I remember reading my first Sci/Fi book in 7th grade , by Andrea Norton , and went through everything , she wrote that , that I could find , quickly followed by Robert Heinline , Issac Asimov , Terry Prachette , David Eddings , and others .

What’s your take on kids not learning cursive any longer?

Cast1es comments on Jan 27, 2018:

Cursive , is a means of making printing , faster , by making it flow . Apparently , kids using machines to print , is faster than writing . Still , I was surprised to learn they are no longer teaching cursive in schools.

What do you give instead of thoughts and prayers?

Cast1es comments on Jan 27, 2018:

Hugs . Info , if I have anything useful that pretaines to the concern . Spend time with them , if that's what they want .
