About Me
I enjoy peace, family, friends, and a good book, most currently reading about Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand of Spain in the 15th century. Originally from Hawaii, I have resided in Southern California for the past several years and love it for very specific reasons, such as the lack of bugs, humidity, and oppressive heat and for the abundant resources available in the land of fruits and nuts. I was an underwriter in the mortgage industry for several years and saw the current crisis coming.

I do? Actually, there are many interesting folks on SH. I find yours interesting as well, especially the info about migrating here from Germany. So, you live along the banks of the "Muddy", how fascinating. I visited Jackson, Miss, last year and found it to be a fun town. And yes, America, is, indeed, a great country and I am also quite cheerful about being a part of it, other than the governmental turmoil facing all of us for not only years, but, generations to come. So, I'll plod along and check out factcheck.com, as you recommended. Take care.

YOU HAVE A VERY INTERESTING BIO.I'M NOT AS DEEP AS THAT BUT I LIKE FINDING OUT THINGS THAT INTEREST OTHERS.

THANKS FOR AGREEING WITH ME. I WISH ALL THESE NEGATIVE ADS WOULD STOP AND WE COULD GET TO THE REAL ISSUES AND WHAT IS BEST FOR US AND OUR KIDS.I WISH THE MEDIA WOULD GO TO FACTCHECK.ORG AND POST ANY REBUTTALS AFTER THEY GET THESE CRAZY ADS.

Hi Meryl, my avatar is Japanese kanji for 'Samurai.' I'm big into the asian culture, especially Japan, and I am a huge samurai and ninja enthusiast. One thing I love about Japan is, they still live with a system of honor and respect.
The street sign is in Torrance, CA. I'm originally from Torrance but I currently reside in New York.
Goodnight.
Meryl
Dear Ellen, it is so refreshing to receive a positive and informative post. I am still learning the SH ropes and your info is invaluable, which I will cheerfully abide by. I must admit, it is readily apparent that "weirdos" thrive on this site, and for the most part quite easy to spot. I will certainly add you to my top SH as the first Agnostic, a pattern of thinkng I wholeheartedly enhance.
Good to see other Agnostics as well. Thanks again, have yourself a perfect day.

Hey Meryl
I am always happy to add another sodahead. When I first started, which wasn't too long ago I just went to the pages of people who I liked their questions or answeres and did an add soda head. Most accept. Now if someone out of the blue asks you to be added always go to their site first and check them out. Beware there are soome weirdos on here.
