More about me

Currently still working full time.  Am a Hospice Nurse for 12 years.  Was an OR Nurse for about 25 years.  Mostly civilian but have 6 years Army.  E-5 for 3, Viet Nam,  Cpt for 3, S.F.  Worked Mgmt for 15 yrs , but decided Staff nurese more rewarding. I can be independent with patients and laugh at these new, young managers who are going to change the world.  Thank God they pretty much leave me alone.  Know I can eat them up if I choose.  I'm overweight, trying to quit smoking!  Quit drinking to save my life, marriage and familly.  Have 2 30+ Y.O.s with 4 G. Kids.  Love them dearly, but don't see them enough.  Love to travel when we can.  Wife chronic ill and slowly deteriorating so need to have fairly calm life.  Have Time Share in Tahoe and trade for different places when we can afford the Air Fare to foreign lands.  Bought a trailer so will tavel the west starting this Spring.  (New one with "Air").  Love my home and Love gardening.  Hate the rain in winter but Western Oregon is probably the best place to live in the USA.  Will see??  Have 6 more years tell retirement.  Maybe part time in 3???

Activities

Like above. Work the garden, foods and flowers. Travel, USA and South of the Boarder. Like wood work, but no time yet. Can fix almost anything except these newer cars. Love TV, science, history, travel, CSO Vagus, Criminal Mind, Surviver, The Unit and NEWWWWWS!!! Politics facinate me. But afraid this country is heading for big trouble. If the Democrates get complete control, "You think Bush made mistakes, wait until a Democrate is in charge with Iran and Russia acting up!!
