    I am a retired forensic psychiatric registered nurse. I worked with serial killers, severely mentally ill psychopaths who took insanity defense for their crimes. I did this for 25 yrs. I was never bored. Worked with a famous doctor who had his own show on Discovery ID. Dr. Michael Stone. The show was based on his belief that not all psychopaths were mentally ill and believed strongly in some being just plain evil. How's that for interesting????

    Very! I used to watch that program when it would come on. I'm hooked on the crime ID channel now.

    Cool thread!

    I keep pet rats. I'm not interested in having children but my rats are my babies! I have 4 at the moment, all boys. They greet me when I enter the room, they affectionately groom my hands and they beseech me for dry pasta with their big dark eyes. I wouldn't be without my furry little squishies. :-) Also, I'm a hobbyist photographer, and spend a lot of time photographing pretty girls in their undies, something my male friends love me for, haha.

    I also photograph my ratties. ;-)

    I completed an Ironman distance triathlon, possess a 2nd degree black belt in taekwondo, and rode a bicycle through Ireland and England for six weeks one summer.

    Another Step toward Success
    Good morning everyone from sunny California. Thought I would just drop in and say hi and give you a little update on what is happening in my life. I planned out my meals on Fitness pal last night so it would be ready to go for me Iam more liable to stick with it if it is already planned out instead of being random. I have no weight to report as I did it yesterday. Later today I will go for my 2.6 mile walk hopefully to go further soon but right now it is one day at a time .I know people get discouraged at times for one reason or another ( I DO) But you have to take a step back look at where you were say a year ago and say to yourself I can do this look how far I have already come. Set small obtainable goals for yourself to build confident it might not be much but I told myself in the first week of exercise just walk a block and see what happens confidence went thru the roof. you and us together can do this but you need a good support system and you have one here. Enough of my babbling. You all have an awesome day and if you want to talk or be my friend I will gladly accept your request until next time keep your feet moving and your head toward the skies because a new you is a reach away.

    Peace- N- Love

    Larry

    I boarded a plane in Frankfurt, Germany which took off less than 10 minutes before the departure area was bombed.
    I also flew out of DFW the same day that that wind sheer accident happened in 1985 that caused the plane to slam down on a hwy and smash a car. My mom flew into Kiev in April 1986...about an hour after Chernoybl exploded. The whole tour was there for a week and had no idea it had happened until they returned to Germany. I have yet to see her glow in the dark.

    Not only do they stink, they carry disease and ruin food, stored grain, etc. I'm a farmer. To me the only good rat is a dead rat. I firmy believe humans have an instinctual repulsion and aversion to rats, the very smell brings on the old hatred of the nasty things. Although they ARE good food for pet snakes , I'll give them that.

    random stuff....

    I won a trip to the '88 Calgary Olympics and won our honeymoon trip to Greece.

    While I like to quilt and do crafty things, I am a bit of a motorhead with bikes (ninja 600), sleds and boats. I rode my snowmobile on a 3 day trip with hubby when I was 7 months pregnant and rode my streetbike the day before I gave birth.
    ....this always seem to surprise people - to quote my hubby " I ride like a guy". LOL

    weird stuff - if I take too long trying to put my earring in or take them out, I want to puke. Worse if someone else does it for me. bleh.

    I have the best looking *kitten* of anyone on this board.

    I also can't resist an *kitten* double entendre. It's an affliction.

    You're referring to wild rats, not domestic. Wild rats can carry disease and be destructive, domestic rats are not; they are kept in people's houses and are different to wild rats both physiologically and psychologically. Domestic rats are bred to be friendly and affectionate, and are very intelligent and curious. They are also very clean. They spend over a third of their life washing themselves and they can easily be toilet trained (and trained to do many tricks as well.) My rats live in clean cages, and do not smell. They are nothing like wild rats.

    My rats are part of the family, I love them dearly, and for you to say something like 'the only good rat is a dead rat' is unbelievably inconsiderate and downright rude. Do you have pets you love? How would you feel if someone said something so cruel to you about them? Unbelievable.
