During my first life, I raised four children.  In the second, I play with the results involving 11 (almost 12) grandchildren, plus being a "Momma" to 8 loving ferrets and "Grandma" to 4 others. I write informational articles, short stories, a bit of prose, and often about subjects that tend to be controversial in nature.  Debate is a good thing and looking at issues from more than one viewpoint is (to me) very important.      

Graduated with an AA and AS in Criminal Justice.
