retired rural mail carrier, full-time Grandmother in McMinnville, Oregon, USA - 63
What do you like to do in your free time?
Garden, sew and other needle crafts, read, cook for people I love, hike and camp in the woods
What do you know the most about?
I have many knives, none of them are sharp. I have much experience with plants and animals, and with people, as a mother, grandmother, former hippie-commune-dweller, and mail carrier. I have taken a special interest in early childhood, with much reading in that area, as well as the practice of parenthood.
What do you like about the Listserve?
I am, I observe from the emails I get, older than the average Listserver. Many emails elicit a strong mothering response from me, many make me hopeful that the world is populated with so many thoughtful, smart, decent human beings, all doing their best to make a good life for themselves and others by being the best person they can be, in spite of life's many challenges.
What do you NOT like about the Listserve?
The fleeting sense of connection is largely illusory
Why are you interested in this project?
Because the world is in great need of smart, concerned people working to solve a problem that doesn't involve making money for themselves
Age
