Men Without Fear
After checking out the Professional Bull Riders’ official website, I am getting even more excited about seeing the riders in action. There is something about a man whose job is dangerous that is so, well intriguing, masculine, admirable, I could go on!
Seriously, can you imagine talking to someone about their day at work when he does something like this?
I always wonder, what motivates a man or woman to take on a dangerous career? Why do they do it and what does that mean about their seemingly fearless character?
I’ve dated a policeman and a fireman and I can remember having an ongoing uneasy feeling when they went to work. I can’t imagine living with that anxiety all the time if I were to marry into a dangerous career. Yeah, the uniforms were hot, but could I really handle all that comes with being with them?
What do you think of the men and women who work in a risky career? What about the daredevils who have some pretty dangerous hobbies? Does it take a special kind of person to date them?
Would daredevils need to seek out other people who are equally as fearless? Is that a case where opposites attract won’t apply?
Guys, what do you think about women who have dangerous careers that require they are physically strong? Could you handle it? Is she just as sexy and appealing to you as other professions?
P.S. If you have questions that you would like our PBR guide, Flint Rasmussen to answer let me know! You can see him in action here and here. Talk about a man without fear!?

Wonderwoman: Ahhhhh come now, I have a great porf, portifo, picturebook. You probably seen some of my work around town or on your car window when you leave the club. Hell 35% of all scrip club promos in Atlant is done by me and I got the flyer market cornered.
Demi: “my firm will charge only .23 cents per upload of nude or semi-nude pics” – Is your website formatted for cellphone picture takin?

Cemeeli, I will only be putting money into the vacuum for the son and the grandson. All the nieces, nephews and god churrin will get something to wear. Not only is clothing cheaper to buy they also are cheaper to ship when sending stuff out of state.

Raqi Same here…I have read the horror stories of groupies waiting around the hotels. I know this guy that used to drive a tour bus for a major rock band and he talks about the young ladies beautiful in there 20s (he is about 50 with a beer belly and he is hairy) flashing him and saying I will do anything you want as long as you get me on that bus to meet the band. So if the bus driver is getting propositioned just imagine the “real stars.”
Cee Same here I am pretty much done. As for co-workers I discontinued buying them gifts…we do a party here at work where you bring a gift…I participate in that, though

Good Morning All!
I am with those that have an inherent fear of dating people with certain occupations. Particularly, policemen and those in the military. I personally feel that if would be difficult at best, to turn off the aggression and mindset that it requires to do those jobs. And I won’t even go into the process that I’m sure it takes to deal with the things they see in their duties. As someone mentioned earlier, the effects of it have to be lasting and alter the persons way of thinking.

Both my moms and my dad and uncles and a host of cousins were in the military while I was growing up. I even briefly considered it. (Looking back I’m gald I didn’t go because the recruiter was pushing me into a job to fill a quota as opposed to one that best fit my abilities.)
At any rate, my ex-husband was and is still military.
It was a part of my life growing up; so, dating/marrying a military dude was not a deal for me at all.
These days, I would give more thought to becoming involved with a military man because of the deployment potential.

ForReal the baby has an ear infection that seems to only bother her in the evenings, which the doctor says is quite normal. Every night for the past few days I have been up with her. I will get her to sleep and she would be back up in 20-30 minutes. I have been getting very little sleep. As long as she is up it seems to not bother her as bad.
Last night I took her downstairs and sat on the couch with her preparing to be up all night. While holding her upright against my chest she went to sleep with no problem. I got up to go upstairs she woke up. I sat back down, put her against my chest and she was back to sleep. I put my feet up on the coffee table, grabbed a blanket, and around 5am this morning I was waking up having slept all night. From about 11pm to 5am.
If that’s what I have to do until the infection is gone, that’s what I will do. She has a glider and ottoman in her room so maybe tonight we will try sleeping in there. However there is no television for me to watch my George Lopez and Rosanne reruns. LOL

yeah Demi,that issue is usually due to the parents fault.
U see,when the woman is prego,the man must do whats called,”cementing the baby’s immune”"
That means sexxing the woman,usually from the back,at least cpple times,few weeks be4 the lady gives birth.That nourishes the baby’s immune system,making baby stronger.
U slack on that,baby will be sick often,throat,ear,stoamck untill immune gets stronger.

Demi, ear infections is very common for babies. Most will have one before the age of one. Reoccuring ear infections are said to be linked to upper respiratory infections which my baby has had. That’s an issue that happened when she was being born that I will not go into.
But yes ear infections are very common. You know pediatricians advise only feeding babies in an upright possible because with them lying down the milk has a tendency to run back into the ears therefore possibly aiding in infections.

Cem – I was just telling one of my bff’s that my massage therapist told me to drink half my weight in water ounces per day. (Um, dude, do you know how much water that is?)
Anyway, I’ve been doing it. And of course, this week, TSA is conducting random drug tests for its employees in the bathroom that is close by. So, I’ve been having to make a trek to get to the bathroom – once a dern hour.
(That shouldn’t be a complaint since it’s got me moving more than I ordinarily would and I am trying to lose weight……but still….)

True – And I’m good with my workouts this week and have upped my fiber intake. I’m already feeling better – even though I wasn’t feeling bad. I should be down the extra 4 pounds plus another 5 in a month or so.

WD, I don’t mean to throw rocks about it, really. Someone else could easily say, “not to cast aspersions, abc, but WTF with your stupidity”, just pointing out that I’m not getting something.
For Real, the attraction to musicians thing is an excellent comparison. No chick in their right mind should go for a musician who actively pursues an exclusive career. You gonna lose out to the music, baybee, most every time!

On topic…I have dated a police officer and it used to drive me nuts. She wasn’t a police officer when we first met, but made a career switch during the tenure of our relationship. Unfortunately, I wasn’t too happy about the career move and definitely voiced my concerns. However, she was passionate about pursuing her dreams and I eventually supported her.
