I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

What you see is what you get ...most of the time. I am extremely sarcastic, and have a biting wit; but don't worry - I am up-to-date on my shots.I am currently working towards a degree in Forensic Science. Yep, at age 36! Sometimes life takes you on a new path halfway through the woods. (Thank you, Stephen Sondhiem for that lovely metaphor).This video really ilustrates why I decided to change careers...
I am the Senior Tutor at the CCRI Knight Student Success Center, but can usually be found in the laboratories - Biology, Chemistry, and Math. Because of this, I am rarely dressed as nicely as I am in my profile pic (the first time you spill NaOH on your favorite jeans you will understand why!).Likes
Chocolate, almost anything strawberry flavored. '80's music, John Hughes movies, forensic anthropology based mystery novels, field work, and being outside on a sunny day.Dislikes
Rude and/or egotistical people, liars, Brussel sprouts, dirt under my fingernails, and yappy little dogs that bite.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I have reconnected with so many old friends through here and Facebook ; but am always looking for other friends that time forgot. If you used to know me, drop me a line!

My Blog

My Thoughts on Men Who Try to Tear Me Down...

Attention all misogynistic, sexist jerks who think a woman's place is anywhere but the work force; who think that a woman could never be equal to a man, especially in the fields of Math and Science; w...

Rain Rain Rain

Sigh....all it has done so far this season is RAIN!  This is on top of a very snowy winter.  I would venture to say our drought problems are solved here in Southern New England, at least for this year...

President Obama's Approval Rating: 68%

Just how divisive are we, as a country, that we can approve or disapprove of President Obama's performance after only 4 days in office?  Technically 3, since the poll probably took a day to tabulate.....

Dunkin' Donuts - Apparently, You CAN Find It in a Grocery Store!

The other night, as we were finishing dinner, my brother started up with a nasty parody of an old Dunkin' Donuts jingle.  It went: "Dunkin' Donuts!  You can't find it in a grocery store!" (The jingle,...
