About Me

I appreciate considerate, thoughtful people and try to be one myself. I like to share smiles with strangers in hopes of helping them have the best day they can. I have an odd sense of humor and often slide jokes right past people, which I suppose makes me not funny. sorta.http://www.toddleninger.com

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Your Soul is your Magic. You were born with this knowledge. You put great effort into not being programmed by the "machine". You do not lead, you do not follow. You will be able to fully conceive of the positive. There is not, and never has been, anything to control.
