- About Me:
- was born October 10, 19… in good ole Queens, New York. I had a difficult childhood, though it’s not your usual abuse story. I developed severe eczema and most of my schoolmates shunned me until high school. Books became my friend.
Early in life, I found myself fascinated by the macabre. I would actually set my alarm if one of my favorite Alfred Hitchcock, Rod Serling or One Step Beyond was coming on late at night. These kept me up ‘til the wee hours of the morning.
Being raised in Amityville was the icing on the cake. My biological mother died when I was thirteen, the age where puberty reared its ugly head. Needless to say, I was a wife and mother by the time I was seventeen, divorced at twenty. Then I met Fred, my second, current and final husband. We’ve been together 36 years. He helped me become an adult although I went kicking and fighting the whole way. Together, we raised six children. I’m now a Gramma of eight!

Mexico is suffering a drop in exports to the United States, a decline in remittances from Mexicans living and working in the United States, the continuing impact of swine flu on tourism, and the shrinking of the oil sector.Dangers Of Buying, Selling Anything Under The Sun
These days, almost anytime someone borrows money, the debt gets repackaged into a security that can be bought or sold like a stock. Critics say abuses in the securitization market helped bring the housing meltdown. Overhauling that industry is on the Obama administration's agenda.American Indie: 20 Years Of Merge Records
In 1989, two members of the rock band Superchunk launched a tiny record label. Twenty years later, amid the struggles of the music industry at large, Merge has become one of the most respected and successful companies in the business.More Americans On The Hunt For Gold
Call them the '09ers. More Americans are hunting for gold, according to the Gold Prospectors Association of America. The group says membership has risen as the economy has fallen; it also helps that the price of gold has risen.Ex-California Gov. Gray Davis On State's Crisis
IOUs, service cuts and layoffs. California is the poster child of state budget crises. The state is currently facing a budget shortfall estimated at more than $26 billion. Former Gov. Gray Davis — Arnold Schwarzenegger's predecessor and the loser of the 2003 recall election — shares his thoughts on how California's Constitution has worsened the impact of the recession.New York Voters Weary Of State Senate Chaos
Chaos continues in New York's state government, ever since Republicans and two dissident Democrats tried to take control of the state Senate on June 8. Bills that need passing are in limbo, and control of New York City's schools passed from the mayor to a hastily appointed Board of Education, when a June 30 deadline passed.Swine Flu Pandemic: What May Lie Ahead
Swine flu has been out of the headlines lately, but it's still making people sick in more than 100 countries. In fact, the World Health Organization recently named it the first official pandemic since 1968.Russian Expert: Pressing 'Reset' May Not Suffice
Andrei Zolotov, editor of Russia Profile magazine, talks to NPR's Guy Raz about what to expect when President Obama meets with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on Monday. U.S. officials have said they hope to "press the reset button" on tense U.S.-Russia relations.Obama Seeks New Start With Russia
