Richard's Story
Life:
Live every day to the fullest, be as usauable as your can and remember whose you are.
My Pets:
I have a plethora of cats. My oldest cat's names are Etienne (passed away 7.22.9) & Alex, they are 11 years old and were rescued from Rehoboth Beach Delaware. My third cat Jean-Peirre was abandoned at my Brother's second ex-mother-in-law's home in july of 2001. My fourth cat (François-Michel) came for a visit on Easter sunday at the age of 8 weeks. He never left. The 5th Seamus MacLaren arrived on 09/6/2002 at the age of 10 weeks. The 6th Pumpernickle Mariposa (she has passed on), was also a fugitive before coming to live with me. My newest fugitive is Mooch ,(also know as Agnes Gooch) she came to us with a litter on the way. I have one of her daughters Spot (she has a littel "Hitler" mustache) The cats are a pleasure to have around.
My Job:
Working is one of those necessary evils in life. Since my parents addicted me to eating and breathing, and since I'm not independantly wealthy (despite what my nephews and niece think), I must work. I have found a job that gives me flexible hours, enough responsibility to keep me interested and fun people to work with. It is a wonderful employment opportunity. The Lord has truly blessed me.
I like to Cook, read, ride a bike, walk on the beach (weather permitting) and watch movies and some (very little) tv.
I am not really into sports (participating that is), and I am...Expand for more
not a big fan of reality TV although I do like Top Chef. Idon't really obsess over any thing.
If I could improve my home, I'd remodel the upstairs and add on a new wing. My dream home would be in the south of France or Fiji.
If I won $100 million, I'd give 10% of it to church, then spend the rest on my niece Andrea, my parents and save a little so I would not have to work for a living.
Yeah, I lived in a dorm at Duquense University in Pittsburgh.
My current age is 44. When I was 12, I thought that people my age now would be happy and content. I was so completely wrong.
Not sure what I want to be when I grow up. I have tried a number of careers.
My first crush is the one that got away.....Not sure how I would react if I ever saw them again.
My best friends would tell you I'm crazy, but people who don't know me very well would probably describe me as distant or aloof not quite unfriendly but not real open. I consider myself reserved/shy, until I get to know a person. In literary terms, I would lliken my self to Fitzwallace Darcy.
If I hade one do-over, I would re-live the 90's completely different.
Childhood memories, now that's a strange subject. I don't have many.
There are bits and pieces of memory some that I remember, I would love to forget. Some that I would probably like to remember are gone forever. I remember being the person most likely to be picked on or abused by the other kids in my neighborhood.
