On another note, looking back at these pictures, some of you guys were absolute Babies in 2006 and I was married and in my mid 20's. Thanks for making this guy feel old!
Me waiting on the Southern Pacific heritage unit last October. I'm closest to the camera in the red shirt. I've gotten a haircut since then, I probably need to find something to get new pictures of myself with, my last Facebook profile picture is from last summer at Spencer.

You don't need to do everything together and if you try to you have problems.
Then again I am an old married fart.
When I said "like" I guess I should've said accept. None of my ex. girlfriends ever accepted it and thought I was weird. They never last long after that...

The moment any woman you're dating criticizes your hobby, it's time to kick her to the curb. Without acceptance of who you are and the passions you have in life, you'll never find happiness in a relationship. Fortunately my gf loves that I like trains and even calls me a foamer from time to time. She has no interest in trains, but loves that I enjoy the hobby of photographing them. The last girl I dated made ONE negative comment one day about me taking a couple of days to go photograph trains. I knew at that moment the end was near.

Well I'd like to be in the same bandwagon that your in. After the first few girlfriends I was afraid to tell them. When I did we all know what happened after that... 1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6 girlfriends later. Two I dated twice. I can say one of them we just didn't work, but she was ok with my hobby. They laugh at me (or the fact I like trains) when I tell them. I'm scared to tell new people I meet that I like trains until I know them more. Its amazing what a hobby can do for someone's personal opinion about someone. I'm 18 and I like trains. I model them, preserve them, collect them, video/photo them and research them. If you don't like my hobby then why are we even in a relationship you know? I don't need someone to roll their eyes at me because of my hobby. Heck my dad is sick of it half the time except for the collecting part, and anything to do with Southern Pacific 4449 because its orange (his favorite color).

Yay Tippy Cow! And I can stay late this year, too! Huzzah
Spring time can't come soon enough. I miss my m&m flurries with strawberry sauce.
