Overseas = I have traveled all around Europe but my favorite places were = Luxembourg, Belgium, Germany, Great Britain (England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland), Austria, Switzerland and Italy .

I need to try France again as the people there were very anti American and threw all kinds of stuff at me and other American's I saw there so I only stayed there two days and left. I have a male friend who owns a small bungalow up by Normandy where he spends a month or two a year there and good friends of his in the village watch over it the rest of the year and he says I can go there anytime.

Never really a bad trips driving down the roads = but suffered same as most people have = bad food, bad weather, and some really odd people = lying where they have been or jobs they had, etc.

Those who sat around and shared "memories" of all the places they had went = and after I asked them the best routes there and more about surrounding towns, etc. = they finally fessed up and told us all they had never been there = just lied about it all and got information from others who had really been there or reading magazine articles or from the internet.

Now when people start there "stories, memories" I eagerly ask = why don't you bring out the photos you took or the videos so we can see it all while you tell us about it = like a show and tell. That always weeds out the liars or wannabes. == I have photos, dvds and videos of all the places I have visited and lived, along with me in all the employment positions of employment and offices I have held. I always have my portable dvd player with me also.

Right now - July 2010 = I have been at my Florida home sorting out everything from 4 family members homes = We are selling it off to downsize = Trouble is = there is so many items that we are overwhelmed and now trying to sell it all for $1,500.00 = which would fill 4 of the largest UHaul, orthe like, trucks = all kinds of antique collectibles including cooking and baking items, jewelry, bedspreads, tools, etc. etc. and new items and gemstones, pearls, etc. from the gift boutique shop I owned or years.

Unfortunately, we will probably end up throwing it all in the dump as we have to get on with our lives. Just took a load of thousand of dollars worth of items to the dump in March. We have decided that if no one wants to pay our price for over 10 thousand dollars worth of items = then at least we can get the tax break if we video tape us throwing it away.

I enjoy going anywhere = and just stopping whenever I feel like it and especially to go rock hounding, digging for different stones, crystals, quartz, etc. and metal detecting, panning for gold and gathering of herbs, roots and berries, etc.

I love going morel mushroom hunting in Ky, Ohio and Michigan and wish I could go every year.

In Fl = I enjoy going to and camping at different beaches, springs, and campgrounds.

Even visiting the different theme parks every so many years = although at close to $100.00 per ticket it is rather pricy.

Love going to local museums and just looking at the local statutes, etc. strewn around towns and cities throughout America = and going to any botanical gardens, cactus gardens, even to greenhouses.

And you can not keep me out of caves. All kinds, no matter where they are. Now I mean the ones that are ran by either businesses or individuals as a business and where you are taken down into them as a group = I do not just go walking into any caves or holes I see out and about. ha ha.

In Alaska I go rock hounding, digging for gemstones, crystals, quartz and the like = geocaching, pan for gold and gathering herbs, roots and berries, etc.

I love cooking and baking, making my own bread and all kinds of specialty dishes of my own.

I can different fruits and vegetables, make my own jam and jellies and dehydrate all kinds of food = vegetables, fruits, herbs, etc. and vacuum pack it for use year round.

I smoke, dry outdoors and dehydrate inside = fish that is given to me by friends that was already cleaned.

I love sewing, crocheting, knitting and making all kinds of homemade items.

I make pot holders on the same loom my parents bought me for my 8th birthday.

I make my own homemade soaps, lotions and salves.

Although I am opinionated = I believe in live and let live as long as other's actions do not harm any other person, living thing or the environment.

I believe that everyone needs to be responsible for their own actions and held accountable for causing damage to other's property and injury or death to other person's, their animals, etc.

I believe in God and Jesus and try to live a good life and treat others as I like to be treated = I am not what other's call a religious nut or such and do not try and shove any of my beliefs on others = as I do not want anyone trying to shove theirs on me.

I have very high ethics, morals, and work dedication, etc. I am trustworthy, dependable and dedicated.

I do not believe in cheating on your most significant other or spouse and never have those who do as friends.

I believe in monogamous sex between a man and woman only = I never watch porn and do not want to be around anyone who does or those who practice what in my opinion is deviated sexual activity, or any that is against the law.

Again, what everyone else does in the privacy of their own home, RV, etc. is up to them and I am not the judge of them, just like I do not want anyone else judging me.

I also do not like to get into discussions on politics, religion, morals or ethics issues with friends or others = as I feel that is everyone's personal choice and no one else's business.

But for those who do not vote and then want to complain about who got elected = if they are friends = I tell them I do not want to hear it = and if they continue on = I tell them to shut up and they have no right to complain about anything if they do not vote`= then I get up and walk away. And if they continue to want to discuss items such as this when I see them again = then I tell them that I can no longer be friends with them and for them not to contact me in any way again = and I stick to it.

If other people around me get on the subject, I ask them if they voted or not and if they say they did not = then I tell them I have no desire to discuss anything political with them and if they do not drop the subject = I get up and walk away from them.

For those = I call idiots, who get up and follow me = wanting to rant and rave = I tell them to quit following me as I do not want to hear anything they have to say because they did not vote so in my opinion they have no voice on the subject = if they continue on, standing outside yelling and all = after I get into my home or RV = then I call the local law enforcement on them.

I will not be harassed and badgered by anyone, anywhere.

I believe in helping my fellow man - but only those who are trying to help themselves = Like famous people have said = I believe in a hand up = not a hand out.

I basically eat a Vegetarian diet. But occasionally eat salmon, halibut, and a few other fish that all have scales; and shrimp = depending on where I am. It is hard to find tofu and other vegetarian diet items out in the wild = ha ha. I just will not hunt, kill it, clean it or cook it and I will not eat any other non vegetarian food except for those.

I am against the hunting and killing of and those who hunt and kill any living thing = just for sport or the fun of it. Using BB guns, air guns or anything to kill birds and squirrels in trees around their homes or anywhere.

There are hundreds of American Indian Tribes who hunt and fish for food and clothing, etc. and I have even met a few of these through out my travels = as I am an American Indian. I ate with them = and respected their right to eat what they wanted and they respected my right to eat what I wanted.

They prepared wild rice, greens, roots, vegetables, etc. for me in plain water or steamed it over open fires and it was wonderful. I ate it along with smoked and dried salmon and other fish they had preserved so I could get protein.

People who kill these living things for food and clothing, etc. to survive on = then that is fine and I am totally for that.

As long as it is just not to "get the kill" to brag about it and display parts and pieces of these living things hanging on walls, etc. There are people who do that and leave the rest of the living animals, etc. on the ground to rot.

Now I have a friends, whose homes I go to, and the dead heads and even some whole living things are displaced throughout their homes = and this is "bragging rights" for living things they hunted and killed = for the only purpose of having food to eat and clothing to wear or use for comforters, etc. = It still saddens me to see these; but then again it = it is part of their heritage and because of that = might be better then just letting them rot on the ground.

They also remove any of these from the room I am sleeping in without me even asking so I greatly appreciate that.

I personally choose to follow mostly a vegetarian diet for health and religious reasons, I have no problems with their personal choice or anyone else's personal choice. And being an American Indian, I fully understand.

I have never done any illegal drugs; but again, know American Indian Tribes who legally use it in their religious rituals the same as they have for thousands and thousands of generations = so I have no problem with that. They are legally using these plants, etc. as approved by the federal government. In fact, I know from my upbringing and my studying of homeopathy and folk remedies that the majority of medicines used allover the world and manufactured by all of the pharmaceutical company's = use these same plants, etc. to make these legal medicines = you just have to pay hundreds of dollars for them.

I am what I consider a Mild Environmentalist = I have never been a public protester or the like, although I totally support those who do as long as they do it in a civil manner where others do not get hurt. Now I am against the corporations and government attacking them with rubber bullets and high pressure hoses, etc. and I uphold the protester's rights to fight back to protect theirselves.

I am against littering, illegal dumping, use of chemicals, fertilizers and other things people use that damages and pollutes the water and lands = including those who let oil and fuel drip from vehicles or changing it and leaving it on the ground or digging holes and burying it. Same with those who throw cooking out out on to the ground.

I do not even want to know any Campers who leave their trash and human waste, animal waste, etc. anywhere they want to because they are too lazy to wait till they get to a place to legally dump it.

I do not smoke and might have an alcoholic drink at a social event a few times a year but that is the extent of my drinking alcohol = I think I had a beer a couple of years ago. ha ha = I am not anal about smoker's and have no problem being around them as most of my friend's smoke.

But I will not tolerate being around anyone who is drunk or drinks in excess or on a daily basis. No one like that will ever be a friend of mine. If they can not respect their self = there is no way they can respect me or anyone else.

I am a Col. and Life Member of the VFW. I go with friends to any of the clubs and organizations they belong to = including = VFW, American Legion, Moose, Eagles, Elks, Shrine Clubs, etc.

I love to support them attending their pancake breakfasts and other dinners and of course to go and play Bingo. = I do not sing but I love to watch others doing Karaoke.

Whenever I am traveling and see a breakfast or dinner at one of these places = while driving by or if I am camping in the area = I just pull in and go in and eat. I have met wonderful people and a few of us email back and forth to keep in touch.

I also go to different Aircraft Pilot Clubs and functions as I was a licensed pilot years ago = and once I move to Alaska permanently = I will get my license to fly again.

Probably more than you wanted to know = but = I tell it like it is and do not keep secrets. I have nothing hidden in my closets. ha ha.
