About me

Well, I'm like everyone else, not getting any younger. Living now in Florida instead of my beautiful home state of West Virginia (now, that's not Virginia, it's West Virginia, we succeded, ya know). I have two grown children, Mark and Rebecca, one grandson, Justin, and a son-in-law, Nicko. I'm a former court stenographer, that is until I became disabled with fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis, early in life. I keep on trucking, but see the doctors a lot. Ugh!!!! They're awful pain diseases and I seem to know, hum... that is the pain of them. But I keep my friends, real friends, laughing, so I'm doing okay.

That's about it, folks. I'm a friendly person, that is, and I know it's wrong, until someone steps on my toes and for some reason now in my life, I don't care to tell them right off. It's a weird feeling to be so outspoken, but I've earned my rights.

My work

Stated as above. Owned and operated my own business for 17 years; I was a "Court Stenographer."
