I love to read, and I love to take long walks..I walk almost everywhere, even when I can drive there. Nature is my favorite thing, next to my family- I don't care if it is little birds, big birds, squirrels...whatever..except spiders! ( I won't kill them tho)..heres one of my macaws, Monty:

Music
I like almost any music except for rap, (except Eminem- I think he is adorable, with a lot of thought and wisdom behind his words).. but the 80's and country are my favorite!
Movies
I hardly ever get to watch them, but I like mysterys, action, adventure- romantic and comedys. I like movies of a more serious nature, drama- pretty much most movies except I will not watch the scary ones..the Freddy movies, Chuckie-that kind..NO WAY!! And I still won't watch arachniphobia..I live in Arkansas- I see enough spiders!!
Television
CHARMED and SMALLVILLE, and WEEDS!!! I love Charmed, and am mourning for the fact the show will not go on. (Still hoping for a last minute reprieve, and that they will do more seasons!!) I also watch almost faithfully, NANCY GRACE, RITA COSBY, GRETA SUSTEREN, SCARBOROUGH COUNTRY, OREILLY, and LARRY KING...last but not least, my all-time favorite--HOUSE!!!
.... I also love Buffy, and the Angel show!!! did I mention I also love Netflix??
Books
Any and all! I read anything I can get my hands on-Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Mary Higgins Clark, Tami Hoag- basically, I read everything!!!
Your Inner Blood Type is Type A
..
You seem cool and collected, though a bit shy.
You are highly driven and a perfectionist, but that's a side you keep to yourself.
Creative and artistic, you are a very unique person who doesn't quite fit in.
People accept you more than you realize, seeing you as trustworthy and loyal.
You are most compatible with: A and AB
Famous Type A's: Britney Spears and Hilter
-ONE TRUE LOVE...WONDER WHO THAT WAS?....
Your Love Life Secrets Are
Looking back on your life, you will only have one true love.
You're a little scarred from your past relationships, but who isn't?
You expect a lot from your lover - you want the full package. You tend to be very picky.
In fights, you are able to walk away and calm down. You are able to weather the storm.
A break-up usually comes as a shock to you. You always think things are going well.
GOD-Shepard Smith, Anderson Cooper,Oreilly and Nancy Grace! They bring the world and injustice to us, and have the courage to take on the system and injustices, no matter who committed them. And I adore Simon Cowell- I guess I admire people who speak their mind, and are not afraid to tell the truth.

About me:
Video above done by one of our Wonderful Fox Bloggers, BigJohnny...
I am a 55 year old Mom and grandma. I love birds (especially parrots), dogs and cats. All animals, really. I have 4 birds now, a blue and gold macaw named Baby; 2 Amazon parrots that have been together for over 34 years;a Patagonian conure named Paulie; 6 dogs, and 2 cats. Some of their pics are here on my page. I am still missing my Monty, my most special blue and gold macaw. His lost ad is by my name, and I will never stop hoping that someday, my baby will be returned to me. I have several blogs with pics of him and Baby, and some on my page as well.
I ran my own little thrift store here in Trumann, but closed it to bring my Mom home from the nursing home, and care for her here at home. Mom passed away in March, but I have not re-opened the store. Her is a pic of my Mom.. I am planning to move North, back to the Wisconsin/Michigan border area-I will probably open a store there when I get there. I keep the items low price to help people who just cannot afford to have much, and this way they can have more. I truly enjoy the work that I do, and I also usually have one or more handicapped or disabled people working with me. This is excellent job skills for them, and a major plus for me-I love them. This is my store here:another pic:
I love to garden, and several of my blogs have pics of my gardens as they grow, so my children up North and my friends can watch my progress. I am known as the Birdlady here in town, and many people bring me abandoned or lost birds whose parents have been killed by storms or animals. I have one main advice for anyone who finds a lost abandoned bird-Leave it There! Keep an eye out, but many times a parent will return or another bird flock member will care for the bird-ONLY when you are sure no one has returned or is caring for the baby, then get help for it. Here are a couple of our rescued babies: This is StarBaby, who I also have a couple of blogs on-our labrador took over her care with me..Starbaby with Susie and puppies"nursing"StarBaby learning to live outside:and StarBaby eating pizza with us: StarBaby has been completely rehabilitated to the outside, and now has his own flock and family. He does still come to visit, and taps on the window when it is cold or he wants more bird seed put out in the feeders! There a couple of pics in my pic album, I think, of Barbus and Stripe, a couple of other birds I rehabbed. I have slideshows of my grandchildren here, and I need to redo a slideshow of Monty-I think it is missing now from here. Zake, my youngest grandchild, is in the slideshow on the left of my page.Here is my oldest chihuaha, trying to convince me she really wasn't doing anything wrong... Our conure, Paulie.. My other, chihuaha, Zeaira.. Here is my baby, Furbeast....and our newest, littlest chihuaha, Gizmo.. and here is Furbeast with chuck..he loves to just "perch" on your shoulder when your on the computer... ..So basically, I love the outdoors, love nature in all of her beautiful incarnations, whether it be the weather, rain snow, or sunshine; I love animals in all shapes and forms; and I tolerate people-(smile)..I cannot tolerate any form of child abuse or animal abuse! If you want to hurt yourself, fine, that is your choice-but leave the innocents alone! I have a column on Newsvine, which I totally love and enjoy being part of that community-we have lots of forums and comment "conversation"..if I am not here on MySpace, you can usually find me on newsvine...http://patsym546.newsvine.com/...So, if you have any questions, give me a yell..I will always get back to you..I look at MySpace as my MySpace family-people are wonderful (for the most part)..and unless you have given me a reason otherwise, I am your friend!

Many of you, my dear friends, have asked me how JJ is doing. I'm caring for him like a sick child nearly 24 hours a day. I don't get much sleep (I'm not complaining) these days so I often forget to get back to you as I have limited computer time as well. It's not that I don't read your messages or think about what wonderful friends God has blessed me with. I truly enjoy hearing from you and love getting messages, comments and emails. I do want you to know that if I don't reply right away I will as soon as I get a chance. I love each of you dearly and thank you so much for everything. We need many, many prayers for JJ. Prayers were answered for Winston (and continue to be) and without you I don't know if he'd be here with us today. I have put up a web page on Winston's site for JJ. This will make it easier if you would like to check in on JJ. I will continue to update this page. I invite you to visit it as well as our regular updates page. Here is the link:
I am truly blessed with the gift of your friendship. I'm very sorry that I haven't been in touch like I should have lately. With all that has been going on with Winston I have not gotten too many chances to be online. The weeks have really gone by fast. I praise God so much that Winston is improving and is almost back to 100%. Hopefully everything will be back to normal soon. Thank you for understanding and continuing to be my friend.
