Hi! Welcome to my user page!
Above you can see a picture of my beautiful babies. Yes, I'm an avid cat lover.
But just so you know a little more about me, I'm also an ex waitress, menswear designer, receptionist, professional singer (favorite job), sales clerk, escort, cab driver, security guard, debt collector, legal secretary/assistant, paralegal, entrepreneur, business owner, bookkeeper, customer service rep, office manager and jewelry designer (another favorite). Pretty much in that order.
I'm currently retired and disabled, trying to get by on disability alone with a little help from a long time roommate. A voracious reader and lover of science fiction & fantasy, I have no children, 3 ex husbands and 2 cats.
I'm a self taught Jill of all trades, master of some. Those may or may not include, but are not limited to, DIY, jewelry designing, silversmithing, knitting, crocheting, diamond painting, cats, psychology, cooking, eating (definitely master class there), English, science fiction, Fibromyalgia, Internet research and common sense.
Feel free to ask me questions or just say hi.

Why do they contribute to wikiHow?
"I've been fascinated by the collaborative power of wikis since 2007. There's something amazing about working with people from all over the world, people with different backgrounds and life experiences. On wikiHow, we come together to achieve one common goal: to educate. Throughout my time on here, I've gained trust, respect, and even genuine real-world friendships. I never would have thought that making an account on a website and being a part of an online community would be such a rewarding experience that's impacted my life on so many levels. So after 11 years as a wikiHowian, you think I'm going to stop here? Not a chance."
Their advice to new editors:
"Stick with it. We all know it can be hard to know what to do when you're first starting out. If you think wikiHow is like Wikipedia... it's not. Over there, you might get overwhelmed by complicated guidelines and butt heads with other people because your edit went against their policies. But over here, we have one of the friendliest communities anywhere on the internet, and we try our best to create a supportive, open environment where it's easy to get involved. So don't be afraid to make an edit and ask for help when you need to. As long as you're open to learning how things work around here, I can guarantee you'll have the same positive and impactful experience I've had."
