I'll throw my hat in.

Born in Chicago in '73, and lived here pretty much my whole life. Youngest of 6 kids. Never been married. Worked many jobs in life, from paperboy from age 6 to 13 (250 papers a morning, and never one complaint in all those years. I just think people were nicer, because I probalble sure deserved them) to gas pump jockey to lifeguard on the sandy shores of Michigumie for 5 seasons (non-baywatch). Graduated college and went into case management for a wonderful Catholic organization in Chicago. Moved onto being a therapist on a lock psych. unit in a hospital (Know what the difference between the staff and the patients on a psych unit is? The staff has keys)

Decieded to make a change after ~ 4yrs of soc. wrk and became involved in market research while holding a second job slinging drinks (for past 4 yrs) at a nice Irish pub.

Enjoy sailing and listening to various types of music (esp. folk). Have loved folk music my whole life as I cut my teeth on trad. Irish folk.

I have absolutely no musically ability whatsoever, seeing as I cannot even whistle in tune and my voice (often heard when a few drinks have been consumed) has been known to make stones cry in agony.

Katlaughing - Good book on various diety needs for individuals called "Eat right for your type" by Dr. Peter D'Amato. Helped me immensly and even relieved my allergies! (No joke)

Overall, a nice life so far.
