I'd like to find someone who captivates me. Someone who I can talk with effortlessly. I want to meet a person who I can include in my daily tasks, and talk with throughout the day. I just want to find someone I can be open with. Platonic conversation or romance. Whatever you are looking for, don't hesitate to message me. I hope to hear from you.
I love a number of things, and hate very little. I'm fairly open to trying new things, but some of the things I enjoy are as follows. I love the outdoors. I've never been camping, but I would like to try it with someone some day. I also love to fish. I mostly fish salt water. I do occasionally fish freshwater though. I like to check out new spots around me, but I mostly fish on the beach. Do you like to fish? What are some of your favorite places to go?
I also enjoy the shooting sports. I primarily target shoot. I take part in a little bit of everything, including rifle, pistol and shotgun. It would be nice to find someone who is into shooting or would like to learn/become more familiar. If you shoot, what do you like to shoot mostly? What's been your favorite gun to shoot so far?
PC games are also a enjoyable pastime for me. I have a variety of games, most of which are on Steam. I have other games on various other stores/services. I enjoy a wide variety of different kind of games, so I'm sure we can find something to play together if you game. What are some of your all time favorite games? What are you currently grinding on that you can't put down? One hobby I discovered later on in life is Magic the Gathering. I play both online on MtG Arena, and with physical cards. Magic has become something I am particularly fond of. Do you play any kind of card/table top games? What's been your favorite so far? If you play Magic, what are some of your favorite deck themes?
Music has always been a part of my life. My tastes are varied, ranging from country, death and black metal, electronic, classic rock, folk, pop punk, and more. Do you have a favorite band? What has been your favorite concert you've been to?
I'm honestly an ambivert. I enjoy doing things outside, as well as spending time indoors. I can veg out all day under the covers curled up in my bed, or I can take a trip somewhere and experience something new. I think my personality is a mix of the best of both worlds. What would the perfect day consist of for you?
As far as my personality is concerned, I would say I am fairly relaxed and laid back. I feel like I am somewhere in the middle between loud and excitable, and shy and quiet. Around people I don't know, I tend to be fairly quiet and to myself. In the company of someone who I am close with, I am more open and free. Do you open right up to people, or does it take a while to become comfortable with someone new?
All I hope for is a connection. It could be platonic, or it could blossom into romance, and commitment. I'm not putting a limit on what I am looking for.
With the prior being said, I am single. I may be interested in changing that with the right person. The idea of commitment excites me. Monogamy is appealing to me. Do you feel satisfied with your social life? What kind of connection are you looking for?
Thank you for taking the time to read my post. I appreciate it. I hope you can identify with something I wrote. If you do, please reach out.
P.S. Please feel free to check my post history, and check out a few pictures of my cat if you would like.

my boyfriend and i are looking to move to the newport beach area. what are the safest neighborhoods of each and/or best areas for mid 20s? please be as specific as possible!

Soon we'll have a female version of the Blueprint food and supplements, but I know a lot of females are already following, also for the future vision. Dating is hard enough already. Introducing this lifestyle, is definately not for everyone I experienced. But I love it so much, that I wouldn't sacrifice doing the best for me and my future better half. In other words I like cooking, and I'm looking for someone to make my special romantic edition Blueprint food for and who knows maybe create our own Zuzalu heaven 🌱
I'm a good looking guy, 34 in clock time. A soft and empathic INTP-A (Bryan type of guy). My love languages in prioritised order are; Touch 28 %, Quality time 23 %, Words of affirmation 23 %, Acts of service 23 %, Gifts 3 %.
Let's make our days even greater together.
Yours, Martin.

Hurricanes

Hurricanes are part of living in Florida. Some years nothing happens, some years it's a wild ride.
If you're going to live beach side, then you need to take hurricanes seriously. Wind conditions leading up to them can and will cause the bridges to the mainland to close, meaning you can be cut off for extended periods from everything, including emergency services. Flooding/Storm Surge are real dangers to life and property. Make sure you have a plan way in advance for the high likelihood that you will lose both electricity and running water.
The further you get away from the coast and intracoastal zone, the lower the risks you have from severe damage from hurricanes, even major ones. But still have a plan, because anything can happen. Look for houses that have hurricane shutters or look into getting your home fit with them. Consider areas with buried power lines, as they're less likely to lose power. You can have a storm like Faye sit off the coast for days and flood almost everything. You can have tornadoes spawn from them. Fences are regular casualties of almost any named storm. Trees should be trimmed well in advance, paying close attention to when final collections occur before the storm hits so you don't have piles of potential wind debris laying in your yard.
That said: hurricanes are typically overblown by the media and should not be a major deterrent. As long as you have a plan and make sure that you're ready for the worst that could happen, you should almost always come out of the other side of hurricanes fine. Our local government knows how to handle them and a lot of infrastructure is built to withstand them. Most of us who have been through many of them don't consider anything Cat 3 or less to be anything more than a couple hour inconvenience. But always have a plan, no matter what.

Car & Home Owners Insurance

Yes, Florida has one of the highest rates of Car & Home Owners insurance in the US. It is recommended you find an insurance broker who can shop around (at no cost to you) for the best rates for your needs.
Car Insurance is required by law per vehicle per driver.

Toll Roads and You

Welcome to Florida, home of what seems like every toll road on the planet. You can certainly get around them, but it's significantly more efficient to use tolls.
E-pass Vs Sunpass: one or the other for all the tolls around Florida. Both are accepted across Florida, Georgia and North Carolina. E-PASS has less issues. Plus the advantage of their Uni, which is accepted across 18 states. Both gives you discounts on most tolls Florida.

***hey some people reached out to me and asked if I could recap this! Unfortunately there isn’t a lot of information here and I think part 2 is going to be on Dana’s Patreon but here is what I could recap!
Courtney Kaplan - She was, “kind of manager, talent manager, for the pageant circuit for some of the girls that wanted to become Miss California.” - Courtney still does coaching in this area and she knows Raquel from back in the day.
Raquel - Courtney said she knew Raquel very well and is going to call her Raquel because that is how she knew her - Courtney said she doesn’t want this to be a mockery about Raquel and she is not condoning Raquel’s behavior or her actions but Courtney feels like she needed to give some background on Raquel at least on the pageant world and family that Courtney knew about - Courtney said that one thing that drew Courtney to Raquel was her innocence and sweetness. Now Raquel was 19 at this time - Courtney said Raquel was reliable and Raquel’s family was very generous. She said it was very easy to be around Raquel - She never would have thought Raquel would have been caught in a scandal like this
At this point they went into Courtney’s background
Raquel continued - Courtney said, “as a recruiter for Miss California, as I said, anybody who wanted to sign up who hadn’t previously won a pageant, that was an entry level into Miss California, you can be a contestant as long as you pay the entrance fee and you pass your background check.” And you do an interview with Courtney - The first year Courtney did it, Raquel came in with her mom - Courtney said as far as she remembers, Raquel had not competed in any pageants before and she was still not quite able to do miss so they decided to keep her in the Teen category which she thinks ends at 19 - When they did the interview with Courtney, they were trying to come up with Raquel’s title and Raquel loved the beach. - Raquel couldn’t do Malibu because you do have to win that one. - So they decided to do Paradise Cove because it does represent part of Malibu and it’s a beautiful name and it looks great on a sash - After that they worked together quite a few times - Courtney held boot camps where she would train the girls - If there were parties or events, Raquel and Raquel’s mom were Courtney’s favorite people to call and the ones she would call the most because she knew Raquel would show up and Raquel always looked perfect - Raquel’s mom was someone Courtney could depend on. She was helpful and always volunteered to help with whatever. - Courtney said Raquel’s mom was the most nurturing out of all the moms
Dana then said for the full scoop head to her Patreon page. Which if part 2 is on her Patreon I won’t be able to recap that since that isn’t a free service and I don’t want Dana coming after me 😂

Not afraid of the mileage , MSRP was just north of $60,000.
History shows just normal service ever 3,500 to 7,000 miles. Just wanted hear everyone’s thoughts since I know very little about f150s. It will primarily be at our second home at the beach used for typical truck stuff. Should I be concerned at all about constant salt air / water and the electric motor?
Thanks.
