I'm married (2nd time-8yrs)
Was ran over in a hit and run by a drunk driver when I was 4 at my brothers high school baseball game, in the parking lot.
Had Reye Syndrome when I was 8, was one of the first to have it and they didn't know what it was at the time, almost died.
Had my first child when I was 17 while in high school and still managed to graduate with my graduating class.
I live in a small 3 bedroom house and its messy but who cares right?
I take care of my parents during the day (that's my present job)
I have been to college for CAD, criminal justice, and real estate appraising.
Finished real estate and went on to pass the state exam

My oldest just graduated high school and is enrolled in college to be a pharmicist
My youngest loves anything camo and being outdoors.
I'm a Boy Scout leader, my oldest is an Eagle Scout, and my 15 yr. old is working on it.
I go to Boy Scout Camp every year and am an Honored Member in the Tribe of Mic O Say and Order of the Arrow.
Love being outside doing nothing or working in the garden, flowers, chickens.
Go to the lake as often as we can (we have a place there)

Everything I do and have done is for my family whom I love with all my heart.

I had Reyes too! (at 18 months)

Nothing too interesting here...just a person who wants to live as lightly on the land as possible.

I have never did drugs and I don't drink. I love nature and live in it (20 acres of all woods). I love frogs and still catch them, and I am teaching my kids the simple pleasures of being simple. I don't like shoping or doing the normal girl thing( I never have). I don't wear make-up but about 4x's a month( but I haven't let my self go). I only wear blue jeans ( no shorts since I was 11) and a belt. I have a lallet ( not a purse). I am a full fledged Tom Boy.
I love video games. and I am not afraid to jump in and get my hands dirty.
I got married at 18 and I am still head over hills in love with Him.

I'm a strange person, grown up in a strange family that believed in spirits, organics, gardening, preserving and experimenting.
Technically I'm a Spiritualist Medium, I go on ghost hunts, get called in for anything from missing persons to unruley spooks which can often be misinterpreted, God/Infinate Intellegence rules my world.
DH is an athiest and is intregued by the psychic abilities and is the first to blab about who and what of my life. I don't mind, nor do I mind that people do not believe as I do. I respect any route to God.
DH has been the most amazing asset to my life, enjoyes building, working hard and now he understands why chickens are so great! (thanks to him we don't have wild chickens acrossed the neighborhood-

) We also do not believe in signing that peice of paper, we are individuals that are making a positive strides in each others lives, lives of others, and for the land.
My Mom and Dad raised us knowing health issues and diet can contribute to them from day 1. Granted to look at me, you wouldn't think I knew much about diet, but I have Pustular Psoriasis on my hands and feet and plaque in areas on my body. I also have Psoriatic Arthritis (of the soft and connective tissue), Ankylosing Spondilitis and Fybromyalgia and take some major meds for pain and treatment of the conditions. Also, PCOS is another cross I've had to carry, but life could be so much worse, I'm active and live a full life.
We have no kids, but for years I raised my brothers children off and on (more on then off), wouldn't trade it to have my own kids. I always assumed that if I had my own children, I wouldn't have been able to afford to take on the financial burdens that I did.
I have a tatto, very symbolic to me as I drew it myself to symbolize special things in my life (that is what tattos should be, an inhancement to your body, nothing negative). I do listen to Alternative rock, punk rock, growing up 80's I love pop,rock anything. You will catch me listening to country, RB, some rap and yes, Blue Grass.
After reading most of your posts, I am not odd, perhaps the rest of the world is! Ha ha! We are normal.
Oh yeah, I have seen a UFO- my dad and I saw the same thing in the sky, about the time those men were out boating in the Alligash, ME and were abducted. Also, Maine is a hot place that UFO watchers come, in Oquasic Maine, near the Whilhem Riech Museum is.
Enough from me, just before I get into a Maine history with all of you- those things we were never taught in school. Feel free to tell me about history of your area!!!

Wow, Spook. My hubby has psoriatic arthritis and takes some heavy duty meds also. Including the dreaded steroids.

I've written about myself on here somewhere, so I'll not repeat.

But I do want to say - my avatar makes it look like I'm regal and poised (and a little bit of a snot) But I'm a total klutz and a goof, my emotions can get in the way of any rational thinking, which makes things worse.

I've also seen UFOs. And I love anything paranormal.
