Posts: 1192 · Posted: 26.02.2010, 06:20

I am an April baby so I guess I post now since it is 26th

April 21,

Born in Redondo Beach, California but spent my childhood in Simi valley with my older brother Bill (whom I miss terribley, he passed in 2006 as did my father) and my little sister Junette. I became one of Ventura Counties first student life guard force in 1979-1981 Moved to Bakersfield Ca. shortly after my son was born along with mom dad and Bill and Junette, and have also raised my family here. In 2007 I found out I had 2 more sisters older than me from dad's first marrige and yes we are four rowdy girls when we get together.

I am mother of three David 28, Amber 24, and Ryan (who may not have grown in my tummy but definately grew in my heart: as I tell him) is 20. My children gave me backbone and through the years have been my absolute pride and joy and heartache lol. I am not married (been there did that) but I am totally committed to my sweetie, Todd and in March it will be 17 years we have been together (ain't broke don't fix it)
I have 2 granddaughters 7 and 4 they are the light of my life being Nana is the best. I have an extremely close relationship with Heaven and Nini and I hope I always will my life is better with them in it, and I hope their's is too.
When I am not gambling, or posting, I enjoy my critters the most but also painting, ceramics and Jewelry making. I have had my ceramic peices shown in an art gallery and I am also metalsmith and have also had quite a few of my original jewelry designs shown in the local art museum. OH and I am an avid rock hound too!

Wow thats me in a nut shell (a big nutshell) lol wow I am boring LOL

Hmmmmm my birthday.....

date of birth April 21,1960

or so I've been told...LOL

I find it unnerving every time an agency ask for my birth certificate,

Crying or Very Sad

because I don't have one!!!!

I have a birth registration, not the same thing, I have been told.

Well they will have to like it, 'cause thats all I got. Smile

From earliest memories, I was raised in Pennsylvania, but was transplanted to California and back numerous times over the course of my young life.

at the age of 7 (It think it was, by then my brains were beginning to be well scrambled), we finally settled on Pennsylvania as the place to live, Altoona, to be exact.
When my father went to register me for school, upon being asked what grade I was in, he shrugged his shoulders, because he did not know!!!! Embarassed

Well, when the smoke cleared and all the testing was done, I was placed in 3rd grade. and so, the young, dark-skinned child began a bad start in the neighborhood. By 5th grade I discoved, what was to become my lifelong best friend, books, my escape from everything and everyone.

As I look back now over my young adulthood, I was a rambler like my father, from New York, and Florida, to Arkansas and Iowa, I, too, returned to the place of family, Altoona, to remain sporadically until the family mainly died off. Off to Windber, PA where I reside today, mother of two, Lee and Sam, grandmother of two brilliant (if I may brag) grandchildren, Dominick and Dixie.

Tragedy has haunted my life, in strange was, and I have discovered(sometime on strange dates.)

In June of 2000, I experienced an overdose that resulted in a 3-month Coma. The day I awakened from the Coma enough to become mobile?
September 11, 2001

and just a few years later, a personal tragedy, my father passed away.

the date...... on Father's day.

and more recently the greatest tragedy of my life, the loss of my oldest twin son,( at the young age of 19)

the date???

my birthday, in 2008

Through a good portion of these tragedies, I can say my crusher family has been there to help me through. And soon, I will be moving back out into the world,

yep, getting my own apartment again!!

Sorry this got to be a book, but this is my life.... LOL

So lets hear from some more crushers!!!!!!!!!

Well I guess it's May babies time to post

May 4, 1939

I am the youngest of 3. I worked as a Registered Nurse for 40 years. I raised a girl and a boy with the help of paw. They have given us 5 lovely grandchildren 27, 25, 23, soon to be 21 and 11.
I have traveled to Ireland, twice, England, Scotland and France, as well as Canada. Paw and I in our retirement have enjoyed visiting waterfalls and light houses.
I have made reproduction porcelean dolls in the past and sold them. Since my retirement in 1990, I have taken up bowling and run a senior league as well as I am secretary in 2 other of the 5 leagues I bowl in. I have gone to tournaments in Chicago, Reno, Ohio and in Pennsylvania.
I have gone twice a year on a bus trip to Atlantic City and really enjoy it. We recently have gotten several Casinos in the area and I have never gone to them, cause I enjoy my trip. Once I was able to meet some people I met on line at another site there, it was great!
I help teach CPR to the high school children twice a year.
I have lived all my life in Pennsylvania (although now I think we are in Alaska LOL )
I have also done the family geneology, but have lost some interest when I lost my partener in research, my mother.
Well the old lady has run out of things to say, you know the mind doesn't always remember things.
I have been members of Poker Crush and Casino Crush for many years and have met many great people.

Happy Birthday to ALL

As long as I have the word of God I have everything Smile
