ABOUT ME
Another Baby Boomer here...born in Canada, grew up in New Jersey, lived in New Hampshire, the Kansas, and now in the High Desert of New Mexico.
Am currently re-establishing my Canadian citizen ship and intend to keep dual citizenship. Might need to move to Canada some day!
Still researching in Bavaria, Transylvania, and current Ukraine - would love to meet someone in the Ukraine to help me search the Stanislawsky line! Then there are those mysterious missing Stanislawskys who arrived in NYC and disappeared! Also some missing Wintoniaks from PA.
A few months ago, I moved in with my mother and it has been difficult, but things are the way they are.
My son, the Economist, is working for the State of Kansas, regulating the Electric company :)
WHAT I LIKE
Astronomy, History Channel, the Internet and techy stuff, gadgets, all animals (even mythological ones like Gryffns! (misspelling intentional - only version I could get in a .com). I love Hawaii, oceans, lakes, mountains, photography, and winning Sweepstakes! And the sciences - vulcanology, geology, archeology - all those *ologys LOL
WHAT I DON'T LIKE
selfishness, stupidity, hypocrisy, political correctness, those who have no Common Sense, and "those who refuse to see" the truth and reality and rather live in their illusory bubble
