About Me
I'm an HR Manager and I'm moderate/Independent-I'm a "buffet believer" when it comes to PSR- I believe in everyone's right to follow their conscience, determine their own values, and be true to their convictions. In other words, I do not relate to the far left or far right-lol But I appreciate getting other POVs (I try not to be argumentative)! I like everyone, but tend to lose patience w/ ignorance, insults, and arrogance. I see it everyday and it is unsettling. I try to play nice w/ everyone. We all want what is best for our country after all!
I have a great, but hectic life. I have Graves Disease (hyperthyroidism), which affects me. I am extremely hyper and tend to dwell on all the injustice in the world. I am compassionate, friendly, complex, quirky, deep thinker, and love to laugh! I do not exaggerate on SH-this is who I am. Sometimes answer w/ my heart instead of my brain (so it may appear like I'm contradicting myself or ambivalent). I eventually make my point!
Also, I'm ambi-dextrous, can cross one eye, and roll my belly- See, I really am quirky! Also, I have broken 13 bones..ex. gymnast, cheerleader and hellraiser! Now, I only play Tennis and Ski for exercise, but Movies and books are my passion!
Obviously,I love dogs- every breed, but favor mini. schnauzers,(of course)! The unconditional love of an animal is the best medicine for stress/health. And I have been fighting for Animal Rights for years. Volunteering at shelters, donating to ASPCA to help Hurricane Katrina victims and their pets. I constantly try to evolve and grow, by volunteering and community service. Communication, kindness, and courage is essential to personal growth! Everyone has the capacity to achieve greatness-motivation is key.
And I love SH-I want to be on here giving and reading opinions 24/7. It is addictive.
Almost as bad as my caffeine addiction. Take care all, and see you on the polls!

Hillary and Bill Clinton

  • RIP Rick! This is to honor a guy who's music helped me make it through some of the darkest moments of my young life, before I brought Christ back into my life. Rick is NO Christ, but I had times that I thanked God that I had this song to help keep my head on my shoulders at the right time!


    This song was only replaced as #1 for me when "On the Turning Away" was released. That is the song at my profile

  • Yeah the picture cracks me up. My dog Clyde bit a hole in the hat and everyone used to ask me "Did you get shot in the head?". I used to get so serious about it. "NO! I didn't get shot!"

  • You too!
