About Me:

Three times divorced. The first after 10 yr - after our 4th child died shortly after a complicated birth (prolapsed cord, at home, during a hurricane) she decided to become a lesbian and leave the church (I say "decided" because when we were married and she cheated on me she did it with other men). The second after 17yr, a canadian with five previous kids, she had two more with me. She filed after committing assaut with a deadly weapon (non-firearm) on me because I wasn't borrowing even more money after finding out we had about 100k of previously unnown (to me) time share debt. The third after only 2 1/2 yr, a woman whose interest seemed to wane after we were married a couple of years and I 1) voted trump and I 2) got laid off. I guess I am less attractive when I make less money. Crazy right? She remarried after 3 months and a week. Now wasn't that a lovely little autobiographical exploration. Still here? lets go

I like books by Heinlein, Card, CS Lewis, and Jordan Peterson; movies by Terry Gilliam, Kurosawa, and Jim Henson. (and of course Disney, I'm not a barbarian) "Arrival" was awesome. When i am sad i will sometimes watch "It's a Wonderful Life". I was deeply affected by Neil Peart's death, and also by the assasination of Charlie Kirk. Hiking in to a waterfall, swimming, and maybe camping there. Beach camping (Leo Carillo, Carpinteria). Halloween costumes ( Leroy and Stitch, Edward scissorhands), fixing whatever is broken. Inventing things, breaking things...
I am looking to be acknowledged, accepted, and admired. Not admired like in "The Little Prince" but more of a genuine sort of admire. I want to find someone that I can give acknowledgement, acceptance and admiration back to as well. I want to find someone adorable so I can (duh) adore them.
That said i am all kinds of wary, skeptical, beaten ,and scarred. I am grumpkering and solamending. But I am still looking for someone who might actually love me, instead of just exploit.
lotsa scams, be prepared for a Turing test. as will I
I do have to say that I am mostly feral, and I am not that for which you are looking.

LDS singles I'd Like to Meet:

Women say they want men who can show vulnerability, but what they actually want are men with no vulnerabilities to show. prove me wrong.

Here is what i am looking for:
Maryann not Ginger,
Kaylee not Inara,
Isabella Ramirez-Shapiro not Vanessa Doofenschmirtz,
Someone who can hold crazy ideas and play with them- like juggling a sliver of dry ice so you don't get frozen. Alice would have done so much better with a traveling companion through wonderland.
We can each be wrong but not evil

the Church is the true restored gospel. We are the point of all that God does, his work and his glory - and I better try to live up to it. Fortunately the atonement takes up the (considerable) slack. What else is there to say?
