ReneeinPittsburgh

HI, I HAVEN'T BEEN SWAPPING IN ABOUT SIX MONTHS AND WOULD LOVED TO GET BACK INVOLVED WITH IT. ANYONE WILLING TO GIVE ME A CHANCE TO SWAP AGAIN. I KNOW I HAVE SOME LOW SCORES, BUT THAT WAS DUE TO ME BEING VERY ILL AND INN THE HOSPITAL A LOT. I AM BETTER NOW AND READY TO SWAP. I ALWAYS MAKE MY SWAPS EXTRA SPECIAL, SO PLEASE GIVE ME A CHANCE. THANK YOU!!

Hi! I'm Renee from Pittsburgh, PA in the USA. I live about a half hour North of the city. I was born, raised, and have all of my life here, I'll probably end up dying here too. I love Pittsburgh. I am not currently working due to some health problems, I have something called Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome.....(Google it if you want to know more about it). Over the years I have been learning how to deal with it and have been working with doctors, chriopractors, thearpists, Reiki healers, Native American Shaman's, and other holositic/natural practitioners. Things are getting a lot better;

Before I got sick I worked as a nursing assistant in a local hospital. Since I have been getting my stomach attacks less and less I am going to back to school to become an EMT and would like to learn Reiki so I can use that as part of my treatment out in the field.

Since I am not working I am always looking for different groups to volunteer with. Right now I am (and have been for a few years) volunteering for our local Red Cross. I'm on the "Disaster Action Team", along with other volunteers we go to the scene of a local disaster (mostly home fires) and help the victims get a place to stay and counsel them on what to do next.

I also volunteer at a local animal shelter (no kill) and help out where I can.

I help my mum to take care of my dad who requires 24/7 care due to diabetic seizures, blindness, and stroke.

I have one big dog, and some special needs cats.

I'm straight and single and do not have any kids.

My goal in life is to save/touch as many lives as possible, one animal and one person at a time. "Save" is not a religious save, I mean actually save them in a medical way, that's why I want to be an EMT.

My favorite bands/singers are:

*PEARL JAM!! I love anything and everything Pearl Jam and Eddie Vedder.

*The Beatles, George is my favorite.

*Dave Matthews Band.

*Red Hot Chili Peppers.

*Gun N Roses.

*The Clarks.

*Janis Joplin.

Really, when it comes down to it, it's all about Pearl Jam.
