: About Me

I love, love the outdoors and nature. I love traveling the U.S., there are so many wonderful things to see, you don't ever have to leave the states either. I want to travel as many places as possible before I have to go live with God, then there will be another wonderful place for me to explore.

I love a man named Rick. I have loved him forever, and it hasn't been the most straight road either, but I am sure that when it is all said and done, it will have been worth it. I do believe God has a plan for all, and I just haven't been made fully aware of my plan yet! But...when I do, watch out!

I have four beautiful, wonderful grown daughters, two are married(Missy and Lisa) and they both share the rearing of the oldest daughters children, my 7 year old grandson and my 5 year old granddaughter. My Ashlyn is living with her boyfriend, and my Rikki Lauren lives with her boyfriend and we are expecting a bundle of joy via Rikki around Oct. 13th. Rileigh Abigail she will be in all her warmth and glory.

I have one more lil sweetheart to mention - Miss Molly.
My sweet teacup chihuahua, who is only 5.5lbs. soaking wet. I love her to death, she is my stress releaser.

My passion is ...

to travel the whole U.S. and move somewhere that I really love one day

I know too much about ...

I can't think of anything that I know "too much about", I always like to learn more about anything.

My parents always told me ...

My daddy always said to "be persistent" in everything

My childhood ambition ...

to travel to the moon

My favorite memory ...

that my daddy asked me to accompany him to the beach for a week, knowing that it was probably his last days with me, I was 16 days away from turning 31, and my daddy did pass away while at the beach, but I was with him all the way, I even tried to help him with CPR, but it was a massive coronary heart failure at the ripe young age of 52, but I love my daddy and although this memory may seem morbid to some, it is very emotional and calming to me, daddy knew he was to die and I was with him

Why I write ...

I can think and write better than I can explain vocally and I love to express my emotions on paper

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

I am reading Atlas Shrugged, I am going to attempt to write an essay for a chance at a $10,000 scholarship, you see, even though I am 46, I am going to pursue my Bachelors in Computer Programming. I watch Jim Cramer's Mad Money, I am very interested in the stock market, yet really know nothing much at this time, but, like daddy said "persistence pays off". I love to watch all types of shows about the legal system. I love the discovery channel, antique roadshow, deadliest catch, law and order, et

My first job ...

at 13, I started working the summers at The Stag and Doe, a restaurant in China Grove. I worked in the kitchen during the summer for the next 3 years

My best moment ...

So many moments! Which one? Marrying my husband, my four daughters, receiving my Associates in Computer Programming at 43 yrs, grandchildren, winning a $2500 scholarship

My inspiration ...

God, my daddy, life, my grandma and grandpa

Sports & Recreation > Sports & Recreation (Other) How to earn respect at a pool hall

2 of 11

I love billiards or pool as it is commonly referred to. My husband and I shoot pool regularly at a small bar in Kannapolis, NC. We shot on an APA league about 14 years ago. We stopped that really quick. We both love pool, but the APA brings out the worst in some people. There are some simple rules to follow to earn respect at a pool hall while playing pool. 1. Sandbagging - the disgusting art of shooting less than what you are capable of in order to manipulate your score in the APA. This is so unacceptable, if you shoot a good stick, shoot it. Why try to manipulate the competition in think...
