About Me


I volunteer with the animal welfare organizations in my community and help create more. I try to enable pet owners through education and helping provide affordable, attainable services. In February 2007, my peers acquired contracts with our local City and County governments to fund spay/neuter surgery for pets belonging to residents receiving public assistance. Recently, the County pulled our funds; however we got a grant through PetsMart Charities to cover the loss temporarily. Our local Humane Society works with us to catch people who fall through the cracks, and has rescued many unwanted litters with zero notice and zero donations. My home phone number is widely accepted as our area's Animal Hotline: 812-514-8520. My husband Ron and I both answer dozens of calls daily and refer people to appropriate programs. We are a local Pets ALIVE Spay-Neuter Clinic Transport contact, helping bring low-cost services to area animals. I recreated and manage the website for Spay-Neuter League, Inc.

If you love or care for animals, check out 'my' website's links page .

If you don't love animals, well then...you're either a jerk or simply uninitiated. Please allow me to introduce you to my good friend ChrisX , who will GLADLY initiate you.

Ron and I are friendly, helpful people. Be friendly and helpful back and you will be blessed. Abuse us and our children will visit you in the night when you're alone and most vulnerable. You don't want that.

We are a multiple dog and cat zofamily . Our home reflects our respect for creatures great and small. Spider webs remain intact; bats and bees are welcome; birds sing special lullabies to us. The trees and jewelweed in our yard will whisper secrets to those who will listen. Wild strawberries, roses and rasberries freckle the boundaries of our property. Honeysuckle and sweet autumn clematis scent the air. Life abounds at our home and it is good.

I'm all about helping people understand and respect their relationship with other living beings. I love teaching gentleness and grace, and strive toward fine, brilliantly-detailed yet subtle tweaks to reality. I believe we all have the capacity to embody the ultimate radiant "is", and it is unfortunate that so many people are so far from realizing that capacity. I believe things are getting better, and am interested in perpetuating the movement toward enlightened joy.

I'd like to meet:

The regulars from Terror Haute and The Muncie Scene, GWAR, Macabre, Stephen Fry & Hugh Laurie, Eddie Izzard, Dane Cook, Steve Vai, Mike Patton, many more...

Music:

Ron is my perfect life DJ. He knows exactly what music is appropriate for every waking moment. Our tastes are similar and eclectic, with harmonious differences. Although "country" is anathema, we can occasionally groove on some good bluegrass, folk, and old western (like Johnny Cash)--BIG DIFFERENCE. Jim Neighbors and Conway Twitty make me want to off it real bad. Johann Sebastian Bach, Richard Cheese, Clutch, Gwar, Steve Vai, and Henry Mancini overtures make me want to mount Ron and let him show me who's boss.
