Bite me, it's fun!

About Me

I'm me. Not anywhere near being perfect, but I'm always perfectly me. I love to travel via car/truck, but hate breakdowns, or getting stuck in the woods somewhere. I love animals, and would have billions more if I could, but currently have 14 cats and one wolf hybrid called Aradia. I love gardening, herbs, foraging, and many other outdoor pursuits--beach, mountain, forest, desert, prairie...you name it. Even asphalt jungles from time to time, two current favourite cities being Seattle and San Francisco. PLEASE NOTE: If you want to add me to your list, have a damn good reason to do so! I don't care to be 'just another number' to ANYONE. I have a social security number, and if I ever get enrollment, the government will have me enumerated once again. If you're just looking to up your number of friends on MySpace, please pass me by. Your goofy bulletins muck up my board, and I miss important stuff! I look at my list and say, "Who the hell is that? Where do I know them from? Why do I know them? Why are they in the list?" Think first, add second.

My Interests

Art, Native American craftwork, volunteer work, outdoors, gardening, gathering wild foods (berries, greens, mushrooms), traveling, etc, etc, etc

I'd like to meet:

Leonard Peltier (outside prison walls), John Trudell, ADAM BEACH (mmmm....drool), Wilma Mankiller, Bill Nye the Science Guy, people who love and want to own unique cats. How do you get a unique cat? Well, you 'nique up on it, of course, silly! Or just ask me for one.

Music:

BEATLES (number one!)!!!! rock and roll (50's through 90's), some old country, folk, classical, jazz, reggae. Pretty much anything but rap and newer country.

Movies:

Native American, Comedies, art, music

Television:

I don't have TV, but when I did, it was The X-Files. When I have a chance, Comedy Central, Discovery, Animal Planet, A&E, History Channel

Books:

Native American, True Crime, historic, biographies, arts, how-to's, Ann Rule, Tony Hillerman, Whitley Strieber

Heroes:

My angels in Dublin, California--Stephanie Manfre and Marsha, from Dublin Buick Pontiac GMC, who saved my fanny when I broke down in Dublin, when my 'friend' wouldn't.

My Blog

Verdict: Temporarily safe

Well, went back to Olympia for the ultrasound.  They had a hard time finding it, due to size, depth, and new technology in the US room.  It's a small, 4x7 mm lump that the radiologist "think...

Next step

Well, had my appointment in Olympia.  They kept having to re-take shots.  Then the radiologist interprets them.  Result?  I have to return tomorrow for an ultrasound.  This is...

My beloved Aradia is gone.

 Just one week after being diagnosed with breast cancer, Aradia started having trouble breathing last night about 11.30 p/m.  I could not find a vet around anywhere to put her out of her suf...

New Addition to My Family

Well, today there has been a new addition to my family.  A few weeks ago I went to an Easter dinner with my friend Ky at her 'grother's', and they had a guinea pig.  From my English, to her ...

Wow...been awhile

Back in December, I got my wallet stolen, with about $400 in it, part of it earmarked for the phone bill.  So, since I got behind on that, they shut off my internet for awhile.  I've been ba...

Bad news this morning

The little girl took a turn for the worse overnight, and they made the decision this morning to end her suffering. I was in such shock, since she'd been doing well with me, that I began shaking uncont...
