: About Me

I am a generalist. I know a little bit about many diverse subjects. Science fascinates me. While my fellow students in high school and college were struggling with Chemistry and Physics, I was taking delight in learning more about how things work.

I have been divorced once... and not by my choice... so I have extensively studied relationships and their disintegration and repair. I found my husband on the internet, so I am pretty computer literate and have great faith in the search for on-line life mates.

I am a self-taught webmistress who took her husband's business site to #1 on Google and Yahoo for competitive keywords in a very competitive market.

I have successfully raised two very intelligent children who have been taught to think rationally and logically for themselves. They also take responsibility for their own decisions, which may be a lost art in our current society. I also managed to get them out of high school without becoming a grandmother in the process-a fact I am very proud of. Now if I am only as lucky with college...

I have recently developed a keen interest in investing. I am not sure how far I will take it, but so far the learning is fun.

I'm sure I've left out plenty about me, but I can always add it later. After all, I have pulled up my chair, made myself comfy and plan to stay a while.

When a child is born, the first question new parents and families ask is, "Is it a boy or girl?" Of course, in today's age of prenatal ultrasound, families usually know the answer to that question prior to the blessed event. Unfortunately, sometimes the process of the maturation of the fetus goes awry at one or more critical points. Any abnormality in the newborn infant no matter how slight usually causes the parents to grieve the loss of their imagined "perfect" baby. Now imagine if you will the birth of a baby with ambiguous genitalia. Not only is there an abnormality, but no one even kn...
