About Me

I'm an HR Manager and I'm moderate/Independent-I'm a "buffet believer" when it comes to PSR- I believe in everyone's right to follow their conscience, determine their own values, and be true to their convictions. In other words, I do not relate to the far left or far right-lol But I appreciate getting other POVs (I try not to be argumentative)! I like everyone, but tend to lose patience w/ ignorance, insults, and arrogance. I see it everyday and it is unsettling. I try to play nice w/ everyone. We all want what is best for our country after all!
I have a great, but hectic life. I have Graves Disease (hyperthyroidism), which affects me. I am extremely hyper and tend to dwell on all the injustice in the world. I am compassionate, friendly, complex, quirky, deep thinker, and love to laugh! I do not exaggerate on SH-this is who I am. Sometimes answer w/ my heart instead of my brain (so it may appear like I'm contradicting myself or ambivalent). I eventually make my point!
Also, I'm ambi-dextrous, can cross one eye, and roll my belly- See, I really am quirky! Also, I have broken 13 bones..ex. gymnast, cheerleader and hellraiser! Now, I only play Tennis and Ski for exercise, but Movies and books are my passion!
Obviously,I love dogs- every breed, but favor mini. schnauzers,(of course)! The unconditional love of an animal is the best medicine for stress/health. And I have been fighting for Animal Rights for years. Volunteering at shelters, donating to ASPCA to help Hurricane Katrina victims and their pets. I constantly try to evolve and grow, by volunteering and community service. Communication, kindness, and courage is essential to personal growth! Everyone has the capacity to achieve greatness-motivation is key.
And I love SH-I want to be on here giving and reading opinions 24/7. It is addictive.
Almost as bad as my caffeine addiction. Take care all, and see you on the polls!

    But my life was better for having had them in it!
    I rescue animals also, and you get attached very quickly. You probably gave that kitten the best 4 days of her life.

    The only re-make I have ever enjoyed (more than the original) was Cape Fear.

It's like declaring that life begins when you are thinking about consummating a relationship-that is how far off base some are about this. I understand that some struggle w/ the world of ethics and science. Stem Cells could regenerate spinal cord injuries and cure Parkinson's, etc.
    Even Erhlich, our wonderful (but ousted) MD Governor understood this, and allowed STR with funding. I will be very disappointed if McCain chooses to criminalize and destroy the progress that has been made.

Why so many remakes...are'nt there enough books and original stories out there that can be made into movies? Hollywood wastes a lot of money on remakes, and they are never as good as the original (with the exception of Cape Fear)! IMO. (more)
