I'm self-employed and after 30 years of problems, now that I am on Medicare and don't have to worry about pre-existing conditions, I am going to doctors to finally try to find what is wrong with me.

I guess you all know by now my favorite comfort food is a big chocoloate milk shake, made with almond milk and Hersey's chocolate syrup, and vanilla ice cream.

I must confess I love watching movies, and I can watch my favorites over and over again. As you can see I like horses and so my favorites are SeaBiscut and The Horse Whisperer, The Black Stallion and Lonesome Dove, and Return To Lovesome Dove. I don't have tv, because I can not afford it. So I...

My friend gave me this to print out and give to people thought I would share it with you
Hello Family, Friends, and Anyone Wishing to Know Me!
