1. My Hobbies: Coin collecting, photography, working on computers, Hiking, and Camping

2. One thing people say that gets under my skin is: “I just don’t have time…” or “I’m too busy…”

3. My favorite motto, scripture, and quote that gets me through tough times is: If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter

4. I live in pain almost every day, but I hide it, as I don’t want to burden anyone and show them my weaknesses

5. I loved being a Marine, I miss it sometimes

6. I feel compelled to give back to the community and country

7. I’m a tightwad. I hate having the family spend money on me. I have been known to wear shoes that are held together by glue or tape

8. I’m a perfectionist

9. I can fix most anything if given the tools and the time

10. Writing this blog and sharing all this is therapeutic for me, but also I hate admitting I’m sick
