Hi. I'm dream Lady. I have two adult sons and eight grandchildren. I first got on the site in January of this year.
I am happy to be part of this community, and especially this boared. Feel free to ask me any questions, and I will answer them as candidly as I can.
I enjoy cooking, writing, science, physics, and am fascinated by the unexplained, and electronics. I want to know why things work, and what processes are involved when a product is being made. I like a lot of creativity and originality in my life.
I have had some college, but haven't finished getting my Associates yet. Don't know if I will. Lol. I have written a novel, and hope to have it published someday. I am a musician, and write songs including lyrics and music.
I love old country, and rock from the fifties to the seventies. I feel like I'm eighteen instead of fifty-two. My mind and body argue about it every day. lol.
Now, enough about me. I want to know about you also, so post away. Thanks for reading this, and hello to everyone.
hi dream lady, well can't say i like cooking, just like eating, ha ha, and it has to be something delicious and yummy. I was born totally blind and with a bone disease called osteogenesis imperfecta. why is that long name diseases either sound impressive or fatal? if a doctror started off telling me I had such a long name disease that it was in 20 sylables, my first thoughts would be, oh my gosh! I'm going to die! anyway, osteogenesis is soft bones or as it was more commonly called, brittle bone disease. I broke my legs almost every time i fell when i was a child, which was quite often. I had rods put in both legs to protect the bones, and was in leg braces from the time i was 9 to the time i was 17. when i was 8, my mom and i had a car accident, which somehow bent the rod in my right knee, or i think thats what happened, anyway after the accident, i couldn't straighten out the right knee all the way. I walk with a walker in the house, but i can walk holding on to things as l ong as i have something strong to bear my weight on. if I take more than one step without holding on to something, I feel like i'm going to fall any second, which terrifies me. strange, but when you're 6 years old, you don't think about falling until you actually do, but48 is a lot different from 6, so the thought of falling terrifies me to death. I couldn't take brokenlegs now like i did when i was a child. I don't think we're as resilient,,, even in our 40's as we are when we're children. I like old time radiio, of which i have 104 cds, love to read, mostly suspense, mystery thrillers and horror and the supernatural. I'm one of those failed writers who still write occasionally. I'll go for years a total blank, unable to think of anything to write and unable to write, but when i do, I write with total, crazy abandon. I guess thats one of the advantages of knowing you'll never be published, you don't have to stick to a strict set of writers guide lines of dos and don'ts, but just write as it comes, with total abandon, and just know here on the zone, if you post in writers pad, you may have an audience. I wrote 2 stories iin writers pad, but they're burried deep in a mountain of other postings. one is called robot friend and the other is called blind visions. Well, this is a rather long reply from me, so guess i'll stop now and read other posts. if anyone is interested, I'll tell what they 're about in another post or reply.

Dream Lady, I know what you mean about the age conflict between mind and body. At 50, I love roller coasters still, but my bodytries to tel me '"no, no, no!" The mind says "yes, yes, yes!" to quote a flintstones eppisode. Thanks for you work to get this board up and running.
Hi. I'm not going to introduce myself because we have already introduced ourselves to one another.
I'll just second Lou's thanks for getting this board up and going.

Well, I'm overwhelmed by gratitude. Glad everyone appreciates it. Kind of makes you want to kick your shoes off, gather around a fireplace, and eat and swap stories about when we all were younger. Let's drink a toast to health, our generation, and life. see you soon.
well, I can't tell I'm anyolder than when i was 19, but I guess I don't do anymore now than then,exceptget on the computer, since when i was in my teens, we didn't have them or the internet. I like to joke sometimes that I have the dorian grey gland and I'm not getting any older. try as hard as I can to believe it, i don't think it's working, lol.
