what to do?

Anyhow that chick from N.D. was an odd ball on the second date so i'm cutting her loose. Anyhow on Sunday I went to a EMT/Nurses meeting. it was pretty big. like out of state people came to it. with Nursing and EMT if you don't go to so many hours of training you lose your certification.
anyhow there was this one girl in there that caught my eye at this meeting. so i go sit next to her say hi, I found out she's from N.C. the reason she was here for the training was because she had to have it and if she didn't she'd loose her certification( she's not bad looking) on a scale of 1-10 i'd give her a 7. anyhow she said she'd be in Ohio till Monday or Tues. So we went out Sunday. everything went well. she's an RN.(which means she makes BIG BUCKS i'm talking 30-40 bucks an hour at least around here) . she's 21. going for her masters in nursing. she's bright as hell when it comes to nursing. she really liked me i think.
but the only thing is with her living in N.C. it's a good haul to go see her. and no i didn't score. my slump continues.

I would pass. I could see if it was an existing relationship, but to start off in long distnace wouldn't work for me.

Also, for an RN making $30-40 per hour, I call

Average staff nurse starting salary in Phoenix is about $60,000. If my calculations are correct, thats about $31/hr... and Phoenix has significantly lower salaries than the majority of the US.

A nurse practitioner is not an RN.

Well, either way, 30-40 isn't unreasonable for that level of health education. My girlfriend is working as an EMT starting next year, making 35/hr or so, she has no credentials really.

You should move to Phoenix man. EMTs work three 12 hour shifts per week making 30+ an hour, with the option to work however much overtime they want over that 36 at time + 1/2.

the reason i'm not married any longer is #1. my ex is crazy. she bi-polar so one minute she's fine and the next minute she's mad as hell. I just couldn't handle the unstable mood swings all the time #2. she's lazy as hell. she won't clean the house, won't do dishes. all she wants to do is sit in front of the tv and eat cheetos

Then your ass is still married. Even though it's over, you should wait to start playing the field again. I mean, if her lawyer gets wind that you're out there looking for dates while you're still married, you're fucked. Then you can say bye-bye to whatever money and assets you have (luckily for you they can't touch daddy's money) and you can kiss your daughter good bye as well....

If you can do something about those feet that look like she uses them to dig a new home each night it'll bump her up to a 7.

The chick I'll probably end up dating is 21 and only 5 ft 1.average weight, red curly hair, look pretty good imo.
only thing is If i get a new pickup(which i proably will be in a year or 2) she'll need a boost. cause I'm either getting a F-350 4X4 FX4 Ranch King with Powerstroke diesel(which i'm leaning toward) or Dodge Ram 3500 4X4 Mega cab with Laramie package and Cummins Diesel. the reason I gotta get a truck is cause now I'm working 2nd and dad's working 1st and when i need a truck to move stuff around on the farm or pick something up down at the grain and feed he's gotta take either my Odyseey or my Accord and he leaves me his 03 Sierra.

You better forget about the Z4 M roadster then. Thats too many new vehicles to be buying.

Personally, I think the Goldwing makes owning a roadster nearly redundant. Go with the King Ranch. You can also write it off as a business expense.
