About Me

It's always hard to talk about one's self, so I'll stick to facts. I am an aunt of two boys. My child is my dog Chaos. (I just added a new kitty to the clan as well. It doesn't have a real name.) (And now I've added 3 kittens again.) I'm the kind of person that would try anything, attempt any hobby, work any job...at least once, just for the learning experience. I have recently been persuing CERT, Community Emergency Response Team. I want to have the skills it takes to live when the world is harsh. I was born with Kidney failure, and recieved a transplant in 1999. I ask anyone reading this to support organ donation. Done Vida=Donate Life! I've always been an "animal lover" growing up on a farm. I've never not had a pet, and I've never let a stranded animal go unrescued. These days my quest to help animals has led me to helping out people. I am currently helping public employees in their quest for fair and equal treatment. It is a shame how unions have declined...with them went higher wages, healthcare, and retirement. The average american worker is grossly unappriciated and underpaid, and I hope to do what I can to help change this around...at least until I go live at the north pole to save the dwindling polar bear.
