Mostly, I'm just a smartass. But a harmless one.

From Indiana, BTW.

I'm in a big hurry in life, 'cuz i have MS and don't know how many good years i have left. Maybe 2, maybe 30! Who knows?

I have a job as an industry consultant, but i also teach advanced macroeconomic theory and analysis at two different universities. (Side line) Also, another sideline is that i'm a musician in a band that's been together for 18 years!

I live in northeastern IL, about 50 miles south of Chicago and about 30 miles from the Indiana state line.

[SarahB]

36. Hi, I'm Sarah.

I'm in my early 30's, live in Connecticut, a mom, work in pediatric health care and in pursuit of another degree to become an RN, in the middle of a divorce, stronger than I wish I had to be, open-minded, honest/down-to-Earth, and am known to those who know me best as the most "wonderful and complicated woman in the universe".

edit: Oh, I am often too painfully serious when I'm in a particular mood. :)

[auntAgonist]

39. SarahBelle, it's amazing

to me that we find the strength to deal with the stuff that we do deal with. You DO sound like a "wonderful and complicated woman"

good luck in your endeavours.

[Beer Snob-50]

i am an over 40 accountant who lives in Mass. and works in the state of CT. Married with two kids and love the outdoors (hiking, biking,ect.)

[auntAgonist]

50. I'm over 40 too Pirate

and closer to 50 than I'd like to be, but life is good!

nice to meet you ...

:hi:

[Beer Snob-50]

53. life is good!!!

now if i can lose that extra 15 pounds.

[auntAgonist]

55. I wish that's ALL I had to lose.

I've been a 'yo yo dieter' for my entire life. I've probably gained and lost 3 me's over my life span.

If all goes well I will be having surgery at the end of february or beginning of march.

It's called BPD with a Duodenal Switch.

http://www.duodenalswitch.com/index.html

It's definately not for losing 15 lbs but it is a life saver for a lot of people.
