I waited for everyone to post their bio as I like to be the diva that comes walking down the staircase by myself. So here's mine:
I'm probably the oldest here, hench, the wisest. Shut up Stinky.

I'm 67 and in two months I'll be 68. Whew, that's a lot. I've lived a full life (very full) and if the Good Lord took me today there would be no regrets. I live by the Bible verse that says, "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord".

I starting working when I was around 9 delivering newspapers and on Thursdays they were heavier than me, and it's a wonder my little skinny,spindly legs could carry the bag. I also shined shoes going from bar room to bar room asking the drunks if they wanted a shoe shine. It was especially embarrassing shining the ladies shoes because in the olden days they wore skirts. I wanted to look but I was too shy. Cochino.

I had a short story published in a national magazine so I guess that makes me an author. I've won an Honorable Mention award in a national fire prevention contest so I guess that makes me an artist. LOL I love to read anything especially non-fiction, I devour that genre. I love music and I carry my I-pod with MY music everywhere and anytime.

I joined the Air Force at 18 during the Viet Nam War as my brothers were all A.F. veterans. I instilled the love of country to my kids as they both are veterans too and one stayed to retire as a Marine. I also was in the Navy Reserve for about 8 years, on and off.

While in the Air Force I worked on T-37s, T-38s, (stateside) and EB-66s in SEA, Takhli and Korat Air Bases. I always worked in a hangar and not out in the flight line.

I started working at EP Int'l Airport as a aircraft refueler/crash, fire, rescue man in 1971 and after 30 years retired to the good life. I've been retired for almost 15 years. I'm proud to say that I put out my first aircraft fire in Thailand even before I became a professional firefighter. I got a big thank you from the two striper in the cockpit running the engines. No award for it though.

I'm the chauffer, gardener, and general do it yourselfer for my wife except plumbing. I'm like Dagwood Bumstead, every time he works on plumbing it costs more to unfix his screw ups so I stay off that.

God comes first in my life (I wish I was born again at an earlier age as He had to forgive me for a lot of bad things). I lean fiscally and socially conservative. It pains me to see homosexuality as I know it's wrong but I'm not the one to judge them. They, like me, when I was younger know better and it's their job like it was mine to change my sinful ways. I hate that the government wants to shove others beliefs down our throats and then tell us we're the bad guys. I hate it that todays young folk don't take responsibility for their actions and try to pin their recklessness on others.

The "only" president that I haven't been able to stomach is obama (and it's not because he's Black). From the very beginning I believed he was wrong for our country. Thank God he only has a few months to go. I'd even favor Hillary over him and that's pretty bad in itself. Oh well, I can only vote and hope for the best man to win and that isn't Tramp either. Or Bernie.
