Tell us something about you!

okay- I am a 46 year old woman, married the first time for 20 years to an abusive idiot, remarried to the best man in the world. I have been in dogs since before I can remember.
I am early retired from the post office as a SDO ( supervisor of distribution operations) and trying to find a new life in a early retirement. I love to talk on the computer ( duh as my daughter would say) as it sits in the main great room of the house... I also love to read, love music ( !!!) and my fondest memories are singing in the Westminster choir at the NY Met etc.
I have a terribly soft heart- been accused of caring too much for people and overly try to help even if not needed.. lol..
Proud parent of a 20 year old daughter- who- of course can do no wrong.
Love animals in any form ( except snakes... williessssss on over load) and have tried to rescue wild animal babies as well.
I am somebody that has friends for yearsssssssssssssssss with long term relationships are common. Active member in my church, taught sunday school etc and a devote Christian. I get worried on distressed emails when someone is in trouble and have drive in a heartbeat out of state to help a friend.. ( my husband now says I dont know how to mind my own business but I just want to help..)
I have a gift with dogs. I have recieved countless "hopeless cases" and within months you never know its the same dog... Active member ( retired VP) to our local human society, and check in alllllllllll the time although I stated I had retired from this.. ( uh huh.. yea right as my daughter says...)
Never active in politics until our step son ended up in Iraq and believe our troops needs support with the stories we heard about people putting explosives in baby carriages for God sake..
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh- thats about it I guess.. Ohhhhhhh we have a ghost in our house- doesnt worry me as a calm spirit but we just have to say things like " leave the door open please" orrrrr please leave the light off so we can sleep... lollllllllllllll...

okay, let's see ...

--I won the junior high spelling bee when I was in the 8th grade;
--I'm good at crossword puzzles and terrible at sudoku puzzles;
--I hate loud popping sounds (firecrackers on Independence Day; latex balloons and the like);
--I play the flute;
--I'm a nurse;
--Cassie Cat is my first cat, and my second pet (my first pet was a parakeet);
--My soft drink of choice is Tab -- yes, the one in the pink can. It does contain saccharin but now also aspartame. They still make it! If Tab is not available I'll take a Diet Coke, please.
--I'm a total night owl - even before I got out of school; I rotated between the second and third shifts for years. You've heard the saying, 'I don't do mornings'? I don't do mornings.
--a few TV addictions: M*A*S*H reruns on the Hallmark Channel; Forensic Files on Court TV; anything narrated by Bill Kurtis on A&E; and anything with Law & Order in the title but especially SVU;
--It's almost 2 PM and I haven't had lunch yet today;
--I'm hoping the Pet Talk members in Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana can have a get together at the dog show at McCormick Place in February (see related post) - not my idea but maybe some of the dog people will teach me what to watch at a dog show because I love the one on USA every winter;
--One of the things I like most about Pet Talk is the things I have learned not only about cats, but also about dogs, birds, bunnies and other pets!!;
--I'd like to tell you I'm the spitting image of Cindy Crawford but that would be a huge whopper of a lie. I'm closer to Carnie Wilson (before) but I'm working on it!
