| Introduction | Me, mixed bag. I have too much on my plate but would not have it any other way. I am blunt and honest, often putting foot in mouth as I do so. I am sensitive and caring but will shear your head off if you cross me. I am open-minded and liberal but will close down if the issue/view hurts others. Am lucky to have a loving husband and wonderful children; the love I have for them keeps me sane and grounded when I get distracted and depressed by the muck of the world. |
