I'm interested in meeting and perhaps, dating some women in Chico.
Why? Because I'm available, single and living in Chico. I might be moving, some time next year, but why waste the time between then and now, being on the shelf?

Hello Chicoites! Maybe we should start a club, of some kind.

Best place in the summer? In california? The coast.
I really like Ferndale and Goleta. They have beaches, and wonderful weather!

If you were in the same city I am, I'd be interested in dating you.

I like them! How about "All the food served tonight, is from the future."?

nice pic, Rock! How'd you add that pic to your reply?

I've been into photography, for many years! You might be surprised how creative I can be with it, if you saw my pictures. I'm not sure, yet, how to ad/download a pic to this message.

"Hailing frequencies open."

Here I am! You seeking me? I'm in Chico. But let's see your pic, what are you hiding?

You poor girl. You're all the way down, in Ventura, with nobody answering you(until now) in this forum. And I'm up in Chico. I wish you luck, doll!

I've been on my own, in Chico, for 4 years.
Any ideas, how I can harmlessly flirt with the lady servers,
at Golden Waffle?

No, but we could chat in yahoo messenger or even at facebook, if you want.

Hello Yellow Rose!
How's life and the summer treating you?

I wish I had a lady, with whom to cuddle.

To quote a movie, "Show him your pallet." And if that doesn't work,
leave him, and start mingling and socializing. When my exgf broke up with me, 5 years ago, the emotional suffering lasted at least 3 years. But there's more to life than suffering, so don't give up on life.

Seems we have something in common, Mirror. And coincidentally, your user name, is one of my favorite episodes of the original Star Trek.

I totall agree. Do you have a recipe, you could share?
My Grandma once made a grape pie. I'd appreciate a reicpe,
for that, too. Here are two recipes, I just found.

I tried it, once, in the late 1980s. It was made with black beans, I think. Or at least it was black, and tasted like a thick black bean dip. Expensive, but I didn't buy it. Someone else did. Delicious, too! It's like Pringles in that you can't stop eating it, easily.

Well, I'm 45 for a few more months, but I'm in Butte County.
I wish you luck!
