I am a 48-year-old retired journalist and registered nurse. I've seen quite a bit in my life, and it has been interesting and chock full of fun and details! I can heartily say it HAS been an interesting one! I have a 19-year-old daughter, and a really cool husband, and we have an open relationship. Looking for friends, Democrats preferred. I am a World War II buff, and have quite a collection of European theater memorabilia. Have a great day, every day--you never know what's around the corner!
