Here goes:
1. I am Jewish, born in New Jersey
2. Married for second time, hubby 12 years younger than me.
3. Went college in my 30s, got a BA and MSW
4. Have two sons, one of them is gay, both are blessings.
5. I like to maintain my "Pollyanna" attitude - helps through the rough spots even though it is annoying even to me sometimes.

1. Was married for 22 years -- been divorced 27. Learned my lesson the first time. LOL! Was seriously involved with someone for almost 10 years, but he died. Neither of us was interested in marriage though.
2. Love to read science fiction. Love space stuff. Would clean the toilets for a chance to join the first extraterrestrial colony. And yeah, I'm a Trek fan, but not a Trekkie.
3. Worked LOTS of different jobs- Clerk at DOT, Secretary to Assistant Football Coaches at FSU, Visa Rep at a bank, Secretary/Production Coordinator at major poultry producer's plant in N. Fla., Sales/Production Coordinator at a different major poultry company. I was managing sales for HK/China territory for a short time at Perdue Poultry (yup worked for the Chicken Man, Frank). I joined a trading company and bought/sold meat and poultry worldwide (mostly still in HK/China). Traveled there many times.
4. Introverted personality type. I don't do well in large groups. That used to bother me, but now I am happy with myself just the way I am. I don't do conflict and chaos. Just don't. I can't stand being around family arguments and nonsense. I treasure my time alone and have to work at being social enough not to turn into a complete hermit. I get my social "fix" right here and thru my few other online groups.
5. I am a member of Mensa.

"I am surprised at some of the things you say...they don't match the image I had from your Avatar..lol"
Mostly pictured quiet smiling little old ladies with gray hair and a cat crawling about their feet! A few younger images too. But no tattoos or truck drivers....(not sure that was one tho)

What fun! Love learning these surprises about all of you! 
1. I'm the "baby" of five children, and a fifth generation San Diego born Californian, altho we moved to Colorado when I was 8.
2. Married the first time at 16, 3 1/2 years, he had a problem finding pants that fit right, because he couldn't seem to keep them on. Second marriage was 21 years long. William is my third husband, the first two were both named "Ray" and both were 11 years older than me...William is 11 years younger.
3. I'm OCD about SOME things.
4. I love to gamble, and have to avoid it completely to keep from going overboard.
5. I don't like children, and think teenagers are a disease. Love babies. Love my own. Do not like today's over-indulged children, and think that most could use a well placed, swift open palm to their posteriors. There ARE exceptions, well behaved, polite children are charming!
