Hey I'm Betsy (aka df, Dragonfly40, particlesofdust, everestfreak, & purpleharley)

I am not a writer!  I write to empty my mind, but most of it is not worth reading- only good for self-enlightenment and entertainment.  I know I will not be published.  I only have intentions of enjoying myself, meeting others, reading wonderful writes, and being myself.  I am not going to be good at critiques since I seem to love most everything - I can tell you normally if you spell something wrong, but I can't tell you how to spell it .  I just like hanging out here... 

From Rent:

Without you the ground bogs, rain falls, grass grows

Without you seeds root, flowers bloom, children play, stars gleam, poets dream, eagles fly

Without you the earth turns, the sun burns

But I die, without you.

There are hermit souls that live withdrawn

In the place of their self-content;

There are souls like stars, that dwell apart,

In a fellowless firmament;

There are pioneer souls that blaze their paths

Where highways never ran--

But let me live by the side of the road

And be a friend to man.

My oldest daughter is Callie (almost 17).

 

My youngest daughter is Cori (GiftedPsychosis on AP and she's 14).

I consider myself a tree monkey and Everestfreak.  I'm insane, hyper, and usually alittle nuts.... but it's all good!  I like to have fun!  I want to see people smile and don't like to waste my time with problems if at all possible.  I enjoy getting out and doing things.  I love motorcycles, mountains, camping, animals, yardwork, driving fast, helping others [especially those who try to help themselves], telling jokes [which I manage to always ruin the punchline], being silly, etc.  I dislike lies, being mean, rude, snobby, stuck-up people.  I don't like cleaning or cooking at all!! but I'd rather clean up than have to cook.  I mean I do cook - my family doesn't starve or anything - I just hate cooking!  I am working on getting my rock climbing certification and my lifelong goal was to climb Everest and then K2, but I'm too old now, so I'm going to just hope to get to Base Camp one day and be happy with that !!  Or maybe one of my girls will want to try it and I can live through them - lol.  You never know!?!?!

I'm just pretty much me.

That's about the only choice I have.

And thankfully I like it ! 

Someone on ap told me:

don't always take a twisted man's advice - it could leave you in knots. go with your best instincts - they're better than outside advice. ~ Ed

And I sure appreciate the advice!!!  Wonderful words of wisdom...
