I can't really say that I have any favorite music. I like all kinds. I've been doing a lot of YouTubing lately trying to build up my channel and there are a lot of young aspiring artists out there with a lot of talent. Many of them are rappers and some of it is pretty good.

Naturally I like the old stuff, before I was born even and then from the 60's on up to date. My son got me interested in Eminem and Nelly and things like that. Naturally, I was a captive audience when we were riding together and he held the command of the audio system.

I have spent a lot of time at home since May of 2010 and watched a lot of television. My favorite things to watch are old movies, especially the black and white horror movies. SciFi stuff. I like those Stargate series, Stargate SG1, Stargate Atlantis and now Stargate Universe (a strange show). I watch Merlin, the series and a few others.

I also like those British comedy shows like Keeping Up Appearances and Are You Being Served and more recently Beautiful People.

I got so tired of seeing the ads for Dish Network that I finally called in and converted from the local cable company to Dish. If you want it, I have a good contact with a reseller. I called one day and it was installed the next. Anyway, I am saving money because with the new network, I never could take the time to figure out where all the premium channels were newly located, so I discontinued them and saved myself about $50 per month. I've still got so many channels and only watch about 5.

I don't have any crafts really. I can make and spend money. I do better at spending it. I am always amazed at the things people can make themselves and admire those talents in a person.

Since I am not able to work due to illness, but not ill enough to get disability. I contacted a friend who has a ministry and she recruited me to volunteer. I've not been a "church going" person since I got old enough to drive, but I have nothing against people to do the church thing. I think it's a sign of good character.

This ministry that I volunteer with is a small ministry and their main activity is a food bank. They feed 12000 people a week. Since it's a church based food bank, they don't have to "qualify" people to help like the ones that get federal and state money. We get so many donations that we distribute it out to other church food banks in the area on a regularly scheduled basis. I have known the couple that pastors this ministry for over 20 years in the business community and they have had this ministry for 10 years. They are bright, well educated people and can and will help all who ask for it.

It's uplifting to work in that atmosphere on a daily basis. There are no salaries there, so everyone there is there because they want to be there. I do accounting type work, so I don't work in the ministry part or the food bank very much, but I see what goes on and it's really good. The place is a dump, however. I do think that breaks down barriers that might scare away some of the more needy people from those big fancy church buildings.

I think everyone should volunteer at something for a couple of hours a week. These organizations are really hurting these days for help with the tight finances all around us and the need is certainly there. Go ahead, do something for others and it will help YOU in the end.

I am originally from Alabama, but have been in Washington State for almost 30 years. Most of my Alabama family has passed away, but there are a few of them still hanging on.

My Mother is 89 and moved her about 20 years ago. She is still sort of ok and I visit her every day. She's been feeling weak after a back problem, so I've been fixing her evening meal for the last few months. I can prepare anything that requires microwave 3-5 minutes or a drive-thru.

I have a wonderful son who is 23 and is married with a son that will be 2 years old this year (2011). He's a hard worker and very outspoken and opinionated. I spoiled him as much as I could and he is just as arrogant and know it all as they come. He knows no strangers and has a lot of friends everywhere. He even likes me, sometimes.

I have a Seal Point Snow Bengal kitty that's about 2 years old. He's a real pretty boy. Most people have never seen one. Before I had a regular Bengal and he died suddenly of a genetic defect at the age of 2. I have YouTube vids of both cats.

On March 15, 2011, I got my first friend: Dar.
