My name is Beau, and I live in Henderson. I am a retired Sociology instructor, single, and a grandmother.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I prefer the company of other lesbians as friends, as I can be myself. I am a radical feminist, but not a seperatist. I love and love the company of my son and grandsons, who, by the way, are feminists. I have been beaudyk or beaudyka on the net since 1999. I had a website called "Spiritwoman" for several years, until it became too expensive to maintain. When I had a webtv, I moderated a newsgroup, beaudyka, which was so much fun! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I would love to meet mature wimmin on the net from this area. The Center Friday night group was nice, but gas has gotten so high that I just can't get there often enough to re-introduce myself to the community. The area has grown so much in the last ten years that everyone is spread all over. I almost met a womon from the Las Vegas list at B-F.com, but we kept missing each other. I haven't heard from that list in months.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

It has been 2 years since I even went to Pride, because I didn't have anyone to go with. I really need a buddy/buddies to go to stuff with... the love of my life may have already come and gone. I certainly wouldn't say no to another close relationship however.

My Mom died at 63 of breast cancer...she smoked...but I have yearly Mamos and am okay so far. My Dad passed away last year at 87. He was still working 6 days a week, and one Saturday, after he had picked up the mail, climbed the stairs to his office, done the year end bookeeping and reconciled accounts payable and made sure the payroll taxes were done, as well as everything that needed to be done with the mail, he wrote a letter to my brother saying how he loved us and what was to be done with his funereal arrangements and his property. Then he rested his head on the desk and left us.

I have volunteered at the local GLBT center, and there is a social group here. They are mostly young now, and into biking and camping. The club scene is loud techno, and diaper dykes and smoke, so I stay away from them and only go to a quiet little country western place which has wimmin there Thursday nights. They have tried to teach me to line dance, but I'm afraid I'm hopeless.

The social scene I loved with my ex in San Francisco was much more laid back, and there were video nights with pot lucks and visits to the tea garden and high tea at a little tea shop, and harbor cruises. Then of course, we were in San Francisco!!!! We had so much to do there... even shopping is fun there! And we volunteered at various non-profits and political causes...the events were almost like concerts and parties themselves. For my birthday she took me to see Melissa one year and the next to see KD in a really small venue in Oakland. She is definitely a social butterfly lol!

I am a dyed in the wool skeptic, but I think that Nessie and Sasquatch are probably going to be found. I am also psychic, as were my parents. I don't think it's supernatural, but consistant with advantageous characteristics which would fit evolutionary patterns. I can find complement with quantum physics and relativity theorem also. My thoughts and beliefs are very liquid, and I float from paradigm to paradigm as I age, so what I've written in my webpages may not be what I am thinking now. Yes, I am a conundrum, and I don't quite understand myself!

I worked for the State Institution/school/residence facility for teenagers in Caliente NV. They were very upset at me because I treated the girls with respect and didn't slam them up against the wall like the rest of the workers. I always ended up on graveyard shift. But the hardest thing I had to do was strip search the girls when they came back from a furlow (spelling?) I was more embarrassed for them than they were. I miss teaching Sociology, but not High School as I was getting afraid of the students in L.A. I would love to relive the times I was teaching County Special Education as a sub though. Those kids appreciate you and don't pull knives lol!

My email, maniac1916, was a result of a "joke costume" halloween email identity when I had a webtv and moderated a newsgroup. I then used it to open a yahoo account to store html... and then went back to it when Hotmail got so messed up. The 1916 was my Dad's DOB. My Dad's family was English, but our ancestor came here on the ship Lyon in the 16th century. My Dad had that dry sense of humor though, and passed it on to me.

I am on disability, for a large list of things.... things that seem to be plaguing many of my age group now.... diabetic neuropathy, arthritis, back injuries, hypothyroid, depression........ haven't got breast cancer yet... and I get a mamo every year.

This seems like a very superficial view of me... I'm much more complex, but I don't think I could tell you about the real me in a short essay... besides, I seem to change as I write things down, and my beliefs are very liquid....... I flow slowly from one paradigm to another. Who I was is on a website at geocities, and some of me is involved in a new newsgroup at yahoo. Who I am now... you'd have to ask my grandchildren lol!

BeauBear Compatibility Test Results
Self-Confidence

As someone with high self-confidence, you feel quite comfortable interacting with other people. Indeed, you find the company of others very stimulating and enjoy meeting new people. Your relaxed demeanor in groups makes people around you comfortable too. Perhaps because you feel comfortable talking about yourself, others tend to enjoy being around you and perceive you as socially competent.

The confidence that helps you feel comfortable talking to people also spills into your own personal beliefs about yourself. Although you have several strengths, it’s likely that you also acknowledge and accept your weaknesses. But unlike some people, you take full responsibility for your actions—you rarely regret things you’ve done in the past and are not embarrassed easily. 

Perhaps the defining feature that sets you apart from most people is the exceptionally high standards that you set for yourself. Your competence in social gatherings as well as at work should provide ample evidence for this. With these characteristics, it’s very likely that people come to you for advice and generally think of you as someone with leader-like qualities. 


Family Orientation

As someone who respects family values, you tend to enjoy the company of family-members and are open to living a domestic life. If you have children already, you enjoy spending time with them very much and work hard to be a good parent, but may occasionally wish to “cut-loose” and let your true colors show. If you don’t have children, you probably desire having a family sometime in the distant future. Although you occasionally enjoy cooking at home, you also like going to restaurants. This has the potential to create added stress as you transition into parenthood. 

You are attracted to the idea of having a family and may be willing to work hard to achieve this, although not necessarily any time soon. This conflict is illustrated by the fact that you don’t mind doing things around the house—like cooking and entertaining guests—on the one hand. But, on the other hand, you also like going to restaurants and parties. It’s possible that in time you might prefer spending time at home more because you won’t feel like you’re missing anything when you don’t go out.

One aspect of yourself that makes you likely to become more family oriented is that you generally know how to manage your frustrations and work well on your own. This means that you have some of the basic ingredients to enjoy family life. Maintaining a tidy home, keeping a well-stocked kitchen, and making sure the kids are safe is a tough job. So attending to these things, while also taking care of yourself, may prove somewhat difficult for you.


Self-Control

The self-control personality dimension captures the way in which a person regulates and directs him or herself. Being low in self-control can be both good and bad. Occasionally people may be compelled to follow their intuitions and give in to their temptations, and your degree of self-control makes this likely to happen more often than not. This can be good in circumstances where being relaxed and open are important. However, in situations where it is necessary to be focused and careful, you might find that you do or say things that may be inappropriate. 

As someone who exerts little control over your actions, you may find that you commit social blunders that might offend other people and get yourself in trouble. For example, if you’re given responsibility to work on a project that requires close attention to detail, you may be likely to overlook important details because you have difficulty staying focused. Consequently, you might feel more comfortable delegating such tasks to other people who are more detail oriented. Being able to recognize such characteristics in yourself and having more detail-oriented people do such tasks could be an effective way to manage your own stress level. 

Low self-control may diminish your effectiveness at work. Acting too relaxed can make it difficult for you to focus on projects that require organized sequences of steps or stages. Thus, your ability to accomplish may be inconsistent. Indeed, it’s possible that you might be criticized periodically for being unreliable or unable to “stay within the lines.” Nonetheless, you may still experience many short-lived pleasures and never be thought of as boring.


Openness

As someone high in openness, you have a strong appreciation for beauty, both in art and nature. Indeed, it’s likely that you are easily absorbed in music and art, as well as natural phenomena. Another aspect of your openness is your emotional insight; that is, you probably have good access to and awareness of your own emotions. 

Another aspect of the openness dimension is the tendency to think about abstract concepts and ideas. This thinking style may take the form of artistic and metaphorical use of language, and/or music composition or performance. Thus, it is likely that, either in your work or spare time, you enjoy activities that get your “creative juices” flowing. 

Your tendency to be open-minded can have advantages and disadvantages. For instance, when there are no clear rules about how to approach a particular problem, your openness makes it easier for you to identify new ways to solve problems that might not be very obvious to people that are not as open as you are. In contrast, you may be bored easily in situations that lack high amounts of intellectual stimulation. In such cases, you might have difficulty excelling on projects that do not provide much stimulation or require much creative thinking.


Easygoingness

Easygoingness refers to one's ability to relax. Based on your score, you appear to “take things as they come” and enjoy having a good time. However, being high in easygoingness also has the potential to produce stress in a number of ways. For example, you may find it difficult to complete tasks thoroughly and efficiently. In this way, being high in easygoingness cannot only make your life difficult, but also the lives of the people around you. Another potential problem with being too high in easygoingness is that it can provide you with gratification in the short-term, but in the long-term provide undesirable consequences. 

High easygoingness, even when not seriously destructive, may also diminish your effectiveness at work, for example. You may find it aversive and difficult to put in all the effort that may sometimes be needed to effectively accomplish certain tasks. For this reason, your colleagues might view you as forgetful and unfocused.


How does your personality affect your love life?


Given the strong degree of confidence that you have, it’s no surprise that you get along well with most people. Indeed, it’s self-confidence that allows people to feel comfortable interacting with others without feeling insecure and vulnerable. For this reason, you shouldn’t have much difficulty in romance, at least not initially. Your social skills will likely help relieve any anxiety your romantic partners might have on those first few dates. However, over time, the high standards that you have for yourself could potentially frustrate your partner. 

Because you respect family values but appreciate a good night out on the town, you probably get along well with people that are different from you. For this reason, you would probably be quite content in a romantic relationship with someone who shares your same values on these issues. Being in a relationship with someone who enjoys going out to parties and staying-up late at night might be fun, at least initially; yet it’s likely that you will find this tiring over time. Thus, it might be easier and more satisfying for you to develop a long-lasting relationship with a person who enjoys both spending time at home and going out to eat. 

As someone who is more relaxed than most people, you likely get along with most people quite well. Chances are that your friends and colleagues perceive you as lively, fun to be with, and good-humored. When it comes to romance, you’ll likely be attracted to most people. However, your free-spirited nature might make being in a relationship with a person that is more rigid than you difficult because you might perceive the person as being too uptight and controlling. 

Your openness probably makes it easy for you to respect and appreciate people that are different from you. However, when it comes to romantic relationships, your openness might make it difficult for you to tolerate people that cannot appreciate diversity as much as you. Therefore, you may be happiest in serious relationships with people that share your open-mindedness. But, your openness might occasionally cause a certain degree of dependency on your end because you may be so open that you easily adopt the preferences and habits of your partners and gradually relinquish things that make you so unique.
