I am a 55 year old divorced mother of 3 grown sons. I have been living with osteoarthritis for the past 20 years. When I first noticed my morning difficulties in movement, my first fear was that I had developed Lupus like my mother. Even though I had been tested several years earlier and was deemed negative, the difficulty in movement still scared me. I have learned to live with the aches and pains, and have not let them hold me back!
Hobbies: My favorite hobby is collecting movies. I have a huge library. My taste ranges from comedy to foreign to westerns and war films. I also create and edit receipes, as I love to cook and bake. I love to dine out at ethnic restaurants, Korean food being my very favorite.
Interests: My interests are World War II and Viet Nam era movies and books. I prefer non-fiction. I also have a great interest in politics and debate, world affairs, the state of our nation.

I love ice hockey from the 60's and 70's, and pro wrestling from the 60's,70's, and 80's.
