I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm retired from AT&T manufacturing. I retired in 1995 after 31 1/2 years of service. I went to work there at 18 years old when it was Western Electic. I've been married to my husband Stan, 36 years. We still love each other, but more importantly, we still LIKE each other (at least most of the time......LOL) and have a good time together. We have one married grown daughter (who is in real estate) and a grandson who turned 12 years old the end of May. We both love animals and have 2 basset hounds and 3 ferrets, all rescues. One of our bassets went to the Bridge. RIP Jojo 1997-04-16-08. I volunteer with the Kansas City Ferret Rescue and am a member of Animals Best Friends rescue group. We also run two local fantasy football leagues. All of our league from Neighbors bar have been together for several years and the one we run from Secrets bar has been together for two years. Although I'm not into any organized religion, I do enjoy the teachings of Buddha. They give me a sense of peace and calm. I enjoy get togethers with my family and friends. We always have a great time! My philosophy: Take your responsibilities serious, but don't take life too serious, it isn't permanent. Metta (Loving Kindness) Prayer: May all beings be peaceful..... May all beings be happy........ May all beings be safe...... May all beings awaken to the light of their true nature... May all beings be free....

Recap-2008

I really hate to say good bye to this year. It has been more good than bad. But, I guess it's time to move on. Who knows, maybe 2009 will be even better! My husband has had a healthy year, my dau...
