Hi, I've been here for a while, first just reading, then joined.

Sorry, I've never introduced myself!

Same as "about me" in my Profile:

 I am firstly a lover of all animals...

I own a small collection of a variety of smaller exotic animals. Reptiles, Amphibians and a Tarantula.

I travel throughout my community and teach young and old about these misunderstood animals.

I also have 2 beautiful cats, and one very large thoroughbred horse.

And one son who moved out last year, a couple thousand miles away for his job. Miss him!

My kittens / cats one year now, are Short Hair Exotics a.k.a. Persians with short hair. One is 1/2 Himalayan, the other is pure Persian. 

My horse is a son of Northern Dancer, the only Canadian horse that has ever won the Kentucky Derby, years ago.

I show him in Dressage. 

We used to do jumping, until my knee finally gave out from a few falls from years of riding.

So, I am a crazy cat / snake / horse lady, with a slight limp.

In my spare time, I do Graphic Design, in business since 1993. Well before the "Internet" & and Digital everything!

Still learning to keep up with the ever growing technology!

I also enjoy hiking, trail biking, fishing (catch & release only), sailing and scuba diving in the Caribbean (when I have enough $$ left over from my OP monthly bill and saving for my retirement). Less every year!

I also used to spend 2 months every year in my family's Condo in Mexico, and also a few weeks driving around the Southwest... California, Arizona & Utah. I have this crazy addiction to the Desert. I hope to retire there someday...

However, the older I get, the more I work, and the less I vacation!

I also now am the designated caregiver to my elderly parents. I am the only child that still lives close to them. They are older & cannot drive anymore, and still live in their own home. I take them shopping, to the doctor, mow their lawn, etc., etc. Thankfully, they are still young at heart, and relatively healthy for being in their '80's. Cross fingers ! !

 
Welcome Suew99, 

looks like you've already are well on your way to become part of this community.

I too was a caregiver to both of my parents and was with them both till the end. I held my moms hand as she passed over and was with my dad as he did too. It's a very difficult job particularly if there is Alzheimer's or dementia involved and I salute your selfless giving of your self.

welcome!

 
Hi Suew

That's a nice introduction. I like knowing our members beyond what IOP they prefer. I already had you figured for a cat lady, but a horse with a famous father is very cool, and so are the other critters. I always jump at the chance to hold a snake or baby alligator or anything that's offered up. Would like to trade with you as far as the desert is concerned, I have learned to appreciate it's stark beauty, but I miss trees.

I agree with way2old and salute you and all caregivers, it's not easy.

Thank You very much for your reply.

My Parents have changed 180 degrees in the past couple years. Dementia... old age.

Hard, when they resent you for stuff you do to help out.

I think they're sincerely pissed too, as that they realize that their bodies are shutting down.

I don't seriously know how I will deal w/ it, when the time comes!

I'm happy you're O.K., I hope you are...

Thanks for the nice Hello!

O.K. Why don't we trade for one year... you can have custody of my 'critters, my backyard trees, some biggies! And I'll soak in the desert. I'll send my parents to my MIA sister.

Ever see the slightly abstract S.W. paintings by Ed Mell ? They are all over my office, I stare at them especially in the wintertime. To me, nothing better than a summer sunset in the desert, no wind, so quiet, & the sky, even the air, seems to glow... dream...

Take care,

suew

  1. xenxra @ xenxra: I found out through discussions with my PI that federal LE has two proprietary tools for tracing monero but it's only forward tracing.
  2. rockychoc @ rockychoc: Amazing how presidental bs can disrupt an entire mailing system. I mean it was already a hot mess.. just always crazy to watch the trickling effect.
  3. GR8 ChemS @ GR8 ChemS: Hello tonall my brotherd
  4. RiftChems @ RiftChems: USPS also lost 10 billion this year since raising rates. they have been a mess for a long time but its only getting worse
  5. xenxra @ xenxra: @uncharted unfortunately a lot of this bs can be tied back to trump appointing louis dejoy to the four letter during his last term. he had this whole plan to "modernize" their ops by gutting sorting machines and shutting down/consolidating sorting centers plus he has conflict of interest holding shares in private courier companies. if trump does take office, it's probably going to get much worse.
  6. uncharted @ uncharted: @RiftChems It's very reassuring it's not just happening in my city but other's as well, which makes getting a sense of when this whole "slow-down" started easier to pinpoint. Hopefully the next president in office appoints someone to "save the day" aka undo the problems they caused in the first place.
  7. rockychoc @ rockychoc: Not to mention USPS is the biggest mail thief. Check out articles, they exist. They steal because they know they can get away with it. Purposely don't update etc.. and we are coming into winter so now it's gonna be really bad.
  8. rockychoc @ rockychoc: You should really read up on USPS. They have warehouses of untracked mail basically gone. Workers even post the bs from within those warehouses stating managers won't do crap.
  9. RiftChems @ RiftChems: @uncharted its been like this since just before the election. before the election my stuff was scanning then sitting in transit for days with no update. Now sometimes there are 20+ packs with no scan (customers freaking out) and then it updates all the way in their city.
  10. uncharted @ uncharted: I think you might be right about holiday backlog I just would not have expected it so soon this year
  11. xenxra @ xenxra: @Droplogic the one on rentry?
  12. Droplogic @ Droplogic: Beware of the collectivelist; blackmailer
  13. xenxra @ xenxra: feels like the holiday backlog kicked in during like september this year honestly
  14. uncharted @ uncharted: @RiftChems They really have been all over the place this week. Express order's taking way longer than they should and as you mentioned seemingly no scanning at all. This can't be the start of the holiday season, can it?
  15. rockychoc @ rockychoc: Problem *
  16. rockychoc @ rockychoc: Lol I swear we need to start a vendor only thread to warn each other about "probelm clients"
  17. johnnywan @ johnnywan: @PHXINC We can go for a walk in the park while we handle our business. Kill two birds.
  18. PHXINC @ PHXINC: lol all good man just ya know come correct. You wanna do business or hold hands and take a walk in the park? I feel like your member #99. The former. Replying, sorry I was getting my car fixed. 150 ksalols for $200 yall. Who’s got real etizolam/ghb? Hmmmm Let’s go enough games :)
  19. johnnywan @ johnnywan: @PHXINC I feel like a stalker right now lmao but I emailed before reading your site. I apologize!!
  20. A @ AnnaSofia: Yeah @RiftChems its prob 3x as slow as normal for all of my Xmas shopping in various locations. Its crazy.
