(I think this is from a George Carlin calendar I had ages ago)
The Pen is mightier than the sword needs to be updated.  It's over due.  It should have been changed much earlier in the twentieth century to "The typewriter is mightier than the machine gun." But at this point it should probably read, "The word processor is mightier than the particle-beam weapon."

I'm 43 going on 97...less than 1/2 way done, got lots to still do!
I’m from Minnesota. I’m Swedish, Irish, a bit of German and a frappe of a few other Northern European countries. I have 2 daughters. Tabitha Ann was born in 1987. Jazmin Celiia was born in 1990. I lost my daughter Natalia Tatiana to a heart defect; hypoplastic left heart syndrom in 1989. Tabitha had my grandson sweet Oliver in 2004 and my lovely grandaughter Olivia in 2011.

I learned how to quilt in 1990 while on bed rest trying not to have my youngest daughter Jazmin too soon. A in home nurse who helped me with my 3-year old Tabitha taught me. I made Jazmin’s bunny quilt totally by hand since sitting at my sewing machine wasn’t an option at the time. Since then I’ve made about 60 quilts of assorted sizes, mostly patchwork a few appliqué’. I work full time now, my sweet babies are adults and I’m a grandma now but the quilt bug raises its pin prickly head almost daily still. I quilt mostly for charities: God's Tiny Angels in West Virginia, Heart Babies in Minneapolis...I want to give...make someone warm, comfortable, feel OK for the moment even if all around them is chaos. :) Must be a momma thing, I want everyone to be happy and OK!

I work in a small plastic injection molding plant (about 9 miles from home) as the Document Control administrator (chick) and industrial photographer.

I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 2005 after living with the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythmatosis. It is a double edged sword to be living life like you have something when you have something totally different. they're both rather tiring, pardon the pun. I push myself to do everything I do. Laying in bed with the heating pad nearby and a few pain killers would be so nice and simple, but I have to work, have to be a mom, have to be a nana...want to be a quilter, want to be an artist. Unfortunately the quilting and creativity usually sit there and glare meanly at me when I'm just in too much pain or too tired to move. Sad to say muscle relaxers are my friend, but only in the evening after work, momma-ing, nana-ing and dutiful wife-ing are complete.
I was handfasted to my sweet soul mate on the 9th of June 2007. He found me on the Internet on loveaccess.com cool huh? An Internet relationship that actually worked! We’ve been together officially since November 2006. His name’s Jim…and he’s dandy! I have since married him! Halloween 2011!
