I have owned 18 businesses. Some of them were: An alarm company A catv company A central vacuum installation company A mail order company A vending company A fishing lure company A truck tool box company An organic truck farm An antique collectibles consultant I have had an automobile detail business. I have done furniture upholstry, I have owned a corporation that owned a gourmet dessert bar, a gourmet coffee shope, a gourmet restaurant, and a lounge. I have dabbled in stocks for the last 15 years. I am semi-retired, self educated with a GED and a lot of hands on learning by just doing it, if it interests me. I also love to travel, and take photos, and have about 10 projects on the back burner I wish I had the time for. Some other interests are: space and terraforming, organic gardening and herbal healing. I believe we are predestined to just go with the flow through life, but have the ability to deviate from that path if the will is strong enough. I am American Cherokee Indian.

  • Why do women want more than one child?

    Just wondering, and not putting down motherhood. I would think after one you go pretty much downhill, body wise, after one. Loads of responsibility, and all of you mothers seem to have very little time for yourselves and dads mostly leave the raising and disipline to you moms. I see a lot of single moms too, where the father has vanished and left everything to the mom. For every 100 single moms I see maybe one dad that takes responsibility of the children and actually helps other than a token "mom's day off".

  • How would you terraform Mars?

    Terraform...Make earth like, as terraform an inhospitable place to an earth like oasis.

    Other than using autotrophic(extreme area) bacteria to produce oxygen, along with lichens and mosses along the equatorial areas that already get above freezing in the Martian summertime, where would would you begin? Would you do it remotely, with robots similar to the Mars landers, or would you send someone there to "seed" the planet with what we think would be helpful organisms to cause global warming through a greenhouse gas buildup similar to earth's?

  • If we are what we eat, why do we eat the foods that are bad for us?

    From french fries to colas, we love to consume whatever is fast, on-the-go food, forgetting about our health until we have a problem such as weight gain or food related alergies. Since we know these foods are so bad for us, has anyone considered their diet to be anything other than eating until we are full of whatever is available. Why is it when someone reaches the age of about 13 or 14, they have considered going on a "diet" for whatever reason. Diets should be thought of as the healthy consumption of food into our bodies that give us the necessary nutrients to maintain a healthy life style with enough energy to burn during work or play, not as a weight-loss program to go on whenever we need to shed a few extra pounds after binging on fries and colas for two of our daily three meals.
