About Me

I ALWAYS send and I ALWAYS rate! I only join swaps on occasion. I'll be 73 in May! I will always give people extra time, like two weeks at least after the swap deadline, especially if the person answers my message that I might send - I will wait even longer in that case. And I will wait longer these days in 2024 since the post office seems to be so slow. And I WILL send a message before I give a rating. I know that sometimes the mail is slow; sometimes things get lost in the mail, and in cyberspace, and sometimes unexpected things come up - Just let me know. I hope that people will do the same for me. But Please read and answer my message to you when I send one. I DEFINITELY get out my swaps before the Swap Deadline! Contact me BEFORE you give a bad rating - the item could be lost in the mail, or in cyberspace, and I always want to make things right ! I would send you another one!

I am a happy, positive person and hope everyone will treat me kindly and respectfully.

I live in a cozy little house in the high desert near Taos, New Mexico, USA. I have one adorable fuzzy orange cat named Pumpkin. I was born in Massachusetts and have lived in several other states including, New York, Nevada, Iowa, Missouri, California, and now New Mexico.

I am retired and love playing/working on my computer and my smart phone.

I love postcards from other states and countries! I would love pictures of your town, buildings in your town, natural settings in/near your town or country. I love nature pictures. I like pictures of cemeteries. I also love anything to do with the stars, planets, the solar system, the galaxy, the universe, the Beatles, fireworks, castles, lighthouses. (See other favorites below). Of course, if it's an I'm Not From Here type of swap then send anything you'd like.

I love postcards and bookmarks, and pictures by email; I love writing answers to lists of questions by email. I would prefer postcards that are written on and with postage. It gives it more of a personal touch, as much as is possible through the Post Office. Certainly, if you've made your postcard or it's really cool and you want to protect it or you want to include something else, then feel free to send it in an envelope. And, of course, if I join a swap where it's required to send in an envelope then certainly do so. Regarding bookmarks: I prefer to NOT get Book Thongs. I like regular bookmarks the best. Like painted or drawn-on or collage or something else that you like to make that is creative.

Favorite Movies

Some of my favorites: Midsommar, Adventures in Babysitting, The Thomas Crown Affair, Waking Ned Devine, The Core, The Craft, Don't Say a Word, Fly Away Home, The Fifth Element, Freaky Friday, Queen of the Damned, Interview with the Vampire, Grosse Point Blanke, Harry Potter (all of them), Lord of the Rings (all 3), The Others, Armageddon, Twister, Dead Man, Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, The Game, The Skeleton Key, etc., etc. I like psychological thrillers. Well, some anyway.

Favorite Books

My new favorite author is Kim M. Watt. I also like The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings (all three), The Secret Life of Bees. Pagan, Ghost, Witchcraft books. Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramhansa Yogananda; books about astronomy with lots of pictures. Books that have anything to do with ancient Egyptian stuff. Some books by E.J. Copperman, Ursula Le Guin, books by Madeleine L'Engle. J. Michael Orenduff, Tony Hillerman, James D. Doss or Steven Havill. Art books including art history books with lots of pictures. Lately I've been reading biographies, especially about Rock stars.

My Favorite Things

Most fave things right now: Dragons, dragons and more dragons, and Ancient Egyptian stuff, cool rocks, crystals, and cool used postage stamps (I collect them). Ancient India gods and goddesses.

Other things I like: Colors: I changed my favorite color recently. It's now purple. I still love red though. Some others: violet, blue-violet, royal blue, yellow, bluish-greens, bright colors. And sometimes black.

Blue skies; sunshine, seashells - about anything from the sea/ocean. I love coins from other countries, old coins. A really heavy rain shower where after it stops everything outside is shiny and new and clean feeling; Birds singing; Listening to good music. Walking in the forest; Walking by the ocean. All kinds of Flowers, Flower scents, particularly the smell of Lilacs. Cats & kittens; Horses; Most baby animals - the cute ones.

Smelling the beautiful fresh air where I live at 7400 feet elevation; Pizza; Hot Chocolate; Good Chocolate in general; Good yummy food from many countries; Google Maps; Favorite cars: Porsche, sporty BMW, 1960's Corvette. Our Beautiful Planet; Beautiful Trees and other plants; Anything Pagan, Egyptian, Mayan, Aztec.

Favorite Television

Death in Paradise, Father Brown, NCIS, Rizzoli & Isles, The FBI shows, Major Crimes, American Gothic, GRIMM, Prodigal Son, Blue Bloods, Bones, NCIS, NCIS New Orleans, Numb3rs, CSI-NY, CSI-Miami, The Closer, The Mentalist, Supernatural, and NYPD Blue. Lately I've been watching documentaries and biographies on YouTube.

Favorite Crafts

I'm not very crafty these days. As of right now, really I'm not doing any crafting. I'm taking a break. I used to make altered books and bookmarks (I've made a few).

Favorite Music

Michael Jackson, The Beatles, John Lennon, George Harrison, Paul McCartney, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Jefferson Airplane, Katy Perry, Pink, Ace of Base, Alanis Morrisette, Led Zeppelin, Stevie Wonder, Jethro Tull, Fall Out Boy, Placebo, Tori Amos, Imagine Dragons, and many other types of music. I have pretty varied tastes in music. I also like music from some other countries.

Things I don't want to receive

Nothing Political or Military. No Zombies. No Elvis, No Christmas stuff, Thanksgiving stuff, Disney stuff. No Teddy bears. Nothing violent. Nothing bloody/gory. Nothing with people crying. Nothing sad. No babies. No ugly bugs. I don't mind religious items occasionally, even though I am not religious, but I don't like people trying to sell me on their religion. I am spiritual, not religious.

Just wanted to make sure you got my email for the 10 questions email swap- haven't received a rating yet.

I will go right ahead and say hi to the ocean for you!! From the boardwalk.. because it's coooold near the water. lol. I'll just shout " HEY OCEAN!.. YEAH.. YOU.. GIANT BODY OF WATER.. ANGELSTAR SAYS HI!" .. then everyone will look at me funny, but it's okay.. because it's jersey.. and that is not the strangest thing you'll see that day.. not by far. lol. And thank you. Ichi was wonderful and it's hard. His brother still looks for him all over the cage like "whens he coming back?" but.. I've printed out some pictures of him and put them all through the house.. even next to the cage so Koda can see him whenever he wants (silly, I know.. but I like to think he sees it. lol.)
