Hi, I’m James and this is my #introduction.
I'm originally from a rural town in middle Missouri but now call #SaintLouis my home. I have a love for the American southwest (my Mom is from New Mexico) and for the coastal city of #Savannah #Georgia.
I'm single, live alone with two #dachshunds (#dogs) named Amelia and Penelope. I'm a #progressive #liberal, can't stand money in #politics, and yearn for a day when the #Democrats improve their messaging and start fighting back.
What I'm into: #Photography, #Cooking, #Grilling, #StarWars, #StarTrek, #80sMovies, #JurassicPark, #Marvel, #dinosaurs, #computers, #gadgets, #VBA, #Python, #MSExcel, #art, #archaeology, #history, #3DPrinting, #philosophy, #news, and you'll find I'm a bit of an all-around nerd.
I’m also #diabetic, suffer from #anxiety, #depression, and #panicattacks. Forgive me in advance if I reach out.
I'm sarcastic as all get out but I have a big heart, that's easily broken when I see people (or animals) hurting.
Thank you everyone for your kind comments and your incredibly warm welcome. I'm overwhelmed. I can't believe how many people responded! You guys are absolutely AMAZING!
@real_jamescain Just spending my first long weekend in Savannah and it is wonderful!
@CooksBooksandFoodieLooks Hey look at you! When you get back, we’ll compare notes!
@real_jamescain I’ll totally follow you for dachshund pics.
@ValiantVenture Trust me, you’ll get ‘em.
@ValiantVenture Amelia and Penelope for the win! #dachshund #dogsofmastodon #dogs
@real_jamescain I would die for them. So cute!
@ValiantVenture They’re on my ancestry.com genealogy page.
@real_jamescain
Do you ever take them to Bar K or The Doghaus?
@CassOfDunshire @ValiantVenture I don’t know of those places, so I suppose not.
@CassOfDunshire @ValiantVenture Dogs don’t drink!
@real_jamescain
I love Savannah! One of my fav US cities!
#Savannah
@glendamomo Mine too! I don’t know, it just feels like home.
@real_jamescain
Have you been to the graveyard? Normally I wouldn't dream of visiting a graveyard on holidays but there's so much history & so many beautiful statues.
@glendamomo I have! I was just there this past August. Check out my VERO page; in the middle of the photo set are my recent photos from Savannah and Tybee.
@real_jamescain
We had our last big meal from a food truck in Tybee before we started our journey back to Australia.
@glendamomo Oh man, I bet that was good. I’m not a fan of seafood but I do love Savannah’s restaurants.
@real_jamescain
We even found an Aussie guy running a Cafe in Savannah.
@glendamomo Amazing! We had a family from London we kept running into, it was really comical.
@real_jamescain Savannah is wonderful isn't it? St Louis has its virtues too--lived there for 8 years.
@12thRITS St Louis has never really meshed with me; I stay because of my parents, they’re the only family I have.
@real_jamescain welcome James! From stl as well.
@ruzblues Hey Thomas! Do you still live here in STL? I’m in Kirkwood.
@real_jamescain
I definitely read #panicattacks as pancakes at first glance
@CassOfDunshire Well I definitely get pancakes too, and sometimes, if I'm being honest, they're not always fun.
@real_jamescain Hi, James! That’s a great intro! I also love animals and have the same outlook on politics and other things as you do.
Thanks for the follow. I’m gladly following you, too, now. :-)
@Sunny05 Wow, that’s really kind of you! Thanks for reaching out, it’s good to know you!
@real_jamescain Very pleased to meet you!
@vox_n_thecosmos Pleased to meet you as well!!!
@real_jamescain Hi James I visited Savannah and Tybee Island a long time ago now but it was still such a special time. I also love photography and your photos on Vero are beautiful.
@annietime Wow! Thank you for your very kind comments. I’m headed for an early bed tonight but reach out soon and we’ll talk!
@real_jamescain
Hello James. It's good to see you here.
@Carl_Ingalls Hey thanks!
@real_jamescain
You are very welcome.
@real_jamescain
welcome to the fediverse
@real_jamescain Hi hi! Welcome to the madness! Love the dogs names. There's a MASH episode where hotdog dogs are mentioned. Hawkeye says he had one once, and BJ asked what happened to it. Hawkeye says he got mustard out and BJ says he relishes these conversations. :D It makes me giggle every damn time I hear it. That happens to be one of my favorite MASH episodes.
