Hi. How can you talk about yourself? I was born to Clarence (aka Bill) W. and Claire F. Waits way back in 1955! I have a total of 3 brothers. Dave, Dick and Bill. Sure don't understand why the guy upstairs couldn't have given me just one sister! I would have been eternally grateful! LOL
I went to the Princeton School district in Sharonville, Ohio from K-10th grade at which time I transferred to Lakota High in Westchester, Ohio. Since I only went there for a little over 2 yrs, I don't remember much about Lakota, other than two of my favorite teachers, Mr. Hutzleman (aka SuperSarge) and Mr. McCarty who both left a lasting impression on me. I think my times at Princeton were the best times of my life! I grew up with these people, they were my friends.....loved it there! The area where I grew up, Springdale, also known as Heritage Hill was a perfect place to raise a kid. I would move back there today if I could. The neighbors all watched out for each other, kids freely roamed the streets, and you knew you were safe. We didn't have all the crime we have now or all the drugs when I was a kid. At any rate, if it were possible, I'd go back in time. My teen years weren't so mild. LOL..I had alot of fun, partying, carrying on, being a typical teen of the 70's.
I got married at 18, had 3 wonderful children, Michelle, Lorie and William and after 11 yrs of marriage, I divorced. I am now remarried to a wonderful man by the name of Rick and have been for 21 yrs now. I guess it's true that you have to kiss alot of frogs to find your prince. Rick came equipped with two daughters also Michelle (yup 2 Michelles in one family!) and Lisa, so now, between us, we have 5 kids, and 16 Grandkids! Oh and need I mention, we also have two german shepherds, Cody and Max, and 2 cats, Taz and Sweetie
What do I do now? I'm a Extra Class Amateur Radio Operator,N8LVD, formerly N8MST. Lotta fun, talk to alot of interesting people and have a good time! I used to manage a local Subway Sandwich Shop. I had been with Subway for over 8 years. I loved the job but the stress got to be a bit much. I had the greatest employees working for me whom to this day still call me Mom! I also had the best customers come in, some I've remained friends with! The Owner, we won't get into!
Other than the above, what you see is what you get! I'm a pretty boring person. I sometimes shop, talk on the radio (The Big 535) take care of our two german shepherds who I lovingly refer to as our kids, mess with various crafts, etc, nothing exciting, but ya know what? I always wake up with a smile because I have the best life a person can have!
Some of My Dislikes
1. Hateful Rude People, Smiles are cheap ya know!
2. People with no sense of humor. Laughters the best medicine!
3. People who can't drive, especially those who slam their brakes on, THEN put the signal on to turn!
4. Cell Phones. ugh! Some folks can't live without a phone!
5. Liars and thieves.
6. Housecleaning! nuff said there!
Thing's I've learned over the Years!
1. That although I won't ever be rich moneywise, in love, I'm a millionaire!
2. That in all probability, if it will go wrong, it will!
3. Ya gotta roll with the punches, laugh it off!
4. Getting Older Sucks!
5. It's true! A second on the lips IS a lifetime on the hips!
6. Your children will always know more than you.
7. Bills are the only constant in life.
8. Life is too short, live, love and laugh all you can!
9. Choclate and coffee should have their own food group.
10.Don't mess with the old man's remote control! LOL
That's me in a nutshell! Not a very complicated person huh? I just love life, I love to laugh and make others laugh. Laughter keeps you young!
