| Introduction | I believe in good spelling Because it makes communicating easier for people. My interests are many and varied and I will be better able to define them as I participate more on this blog site. I just began a couple days ago and i still don't know how to get my photo on the profile,but I have my photos thruout my blog page. I am an advocate for workers unions and for people organizing on local and global issues . In order to make a difference for the problems we recognize we must participate and involve our friends ,relatives,neighbors, and co-workers even iif only to chat about the things that are bothering us. We also must chat with all these people about the things that we find that we feel good about. I do alot of reading ,but I have not read a book in years.Most of the reading I do is on the computer or the newspaper or magazines. I also write mostly on the computer,but I do have a typewriter just in case lol. Heeey well how about that after several efforts I was able to upload my profile photo!! |
