Ladyofthelake, 62

I beat the grim reaper - twice. I live on a lake in Southern Maine with my 24 yo son who is also my caretaker. We have 2 persian kittens and 1 shih-tzu puppy. I have a 27 yo daughter who just returned to the US from Europe. She just got a work visa for the UK and will be leaving for London next month.

I am disabled but I prefer to call it 'retirement'. I have dedicated the next ?however long it takes? to help my son with a retail store that we opened last summer. Prior to retirement, I was an internet software developer/consultant. I currently volunteer as the webmaster and a staff officer for our local coast guard auxiliary. I believe in karma, the universe is good to me and I choose to be around good, caring people.

I love my life, living on the lake, running the store, helping people, volunteering, shopping for new items for the store, finding bargains, boating, sailing, selling on ebay and amazon, buying on ebay and amazon, laughing and being silly. I'm not a big drinker, not a big party person. I am not perfect, never will be. I am liberal in my thinking, am disgusted by big business beating the little guy into the ground and will often fight for a worthy cause. I am not fat, I do not diet, but I am very health conscious and use all natural remedies whenever possible. Currently using natural remedies for maintaining cholesterol and migraines.

Health issues include Bronchiolotis Obliterans Organizing Pneumonia, Hypersensitivity Pneumonia, Biotoxin Illness, Chronic Migraines, Intracranial Pressure, Scoliosis, Degenerative Disc, Bird Brain Disease (I made that one up!)
