"I didn't know this Ron. But McCain was never in my choices. I have several friends that were POWs in Viet Nam, one for 6 years. Very patriotic men. However, all are united on the fact that they don't . . ." more

About Me
-
Describe Yourself:Good sense of humor, good listener, love good conversation, good friends. I am confident and have respect for myself and others. I'm an optimist with my feet firmly planted in reality. I am a very loyal person and detest fickle, pessimists, and petty. I am an observer and see the nuances--they intrigued me. I like peace not particularly fond of discord. I'm by no means a pushover. I can and do stand up for myself but realize that not every battle is life and death, so I pick my battles and win the war, lol!
I have a 13 year old son, who is my greatest blessing in life. He is creative, funny, smart, opinionated (haven't a clue where he got that), and convinced that he knows everything (THAT comes with his age bracket, which I hope he outgrows fast so he gets to see his 18th birthday, lol!).
I work full time presently and am the Marketing Director of our firm. We do private investigations and we are also involved investment and developing of Ethanol plants, among other things. -
On Gather, I'm Looking For ...:Friends, Critiquing on my writing
Interests
-
Favorite Music, Artists, Genres:I am eclectic in music. Much of it depends on my mood at the time. I listen to pop top ten-hey, I have a 13 year old, lol! But I like everything from Linkin Park and Blue October to Pavarotti-he has a gorgeous voice. I love instrumental, especially new age. My sis and I take in a good symphony periodically and absolutely adore Spanish guitar--I play a bit too--would love to play like Ottmar Liebert. The man is phenomenal.
-
Favorite Books, Writers, Genres:Gone with the Wind, The White Dragon-the whole series actually (McCaffery) Trust Me-Krentz, The Godfather, Rosehaven-Coulter, The Guardian and The Gift-Garwood., Christine Feehan, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Norah Roberts, Christina Dodd, Jayne Ann Krentz, (actually I will buy the book on their names alone) Toni Blake, Robert Ludlum, Dean Koontz, and Susan Wiggs. Catherine Coulter and Julie Garwood's historicals, some of their current stuff. Love Anne McCaffery, Andre Norton, Robert Heinlein, Dean Foster , Some of Ken Follet and Tom Clancy-depends on the story line.
-
Favorite Movies, Actors, Genres:Under the Tuscan Sun, The Lake House, Jackie Chan Movies, Lord of the Rings, Pearl Harbor, Gladiator, Always, Above the Law, Monster in Law, Fifty First Dates and actually like most of Drew Barrymores movies. Love Peter Sellers Pink Panther. Princess Bride is an all time favorite. Enjoyed the Potter Movies and Pirates of the Carribean.

Hello Sia!
It was very nice to have you stop by my posts! I always feel like I have been visited by an old friend when you do.
I hope that everything is well with you and that you have been enjoying this summer. I frankly will be happy when its over. We finally got some rain here last night and this morning and we had forgotten what rain looked like.
Thanks again! Please keep in touch.

Yes, Sia...August and even September were always "muggy months" as I recall, when we lived in Iowa. All that corn and those soy beans breathing warm air out into the atmosphere! Stay comfortable. Love, Nat
