We met through Night Hawk, didn't we? Those days of AIM chats were fun, and I'm happy to say that we've matured since then haha. I still find it amazing that you met someone from here, who to some extent, changed your real life outside the forum. I've always enjoyed having you as a member here. You are the first member of the month of 2015 and you deserve it. We wish you good health and happiness. Have a great month. |

How many kids do you want? Probably two. I'm an only child and have always wanted siblings. I also love children, so I can't really imagine having one. Anymore than three is nuts so thats my cut off. Father in law is one of eleven. |

CONGRATS BER!!! Who is the most inspirational person in your life? Thank you. It's going to sound cheesy, but probably my husband. He has changed and inspired my life in a lot of ways since I met him. In fact, when we first met, I was arguing with him on the validity of student loans. I didn't necessarily agree with what I was saying, but I was defending what I felt was my only way to be successful, at the time. I was closed minded and defensive about my position. I was wrong. After meeting him I am a lot more frugal and I strive to be even more so, because I value my time a lot more than physical possessions. I don't need brand names or expensive clothes or to be "hip." What I really want is the freedom to use my time as I want and do things I desire and enjoy, rather than be forcefully dedicated to work I don't enjoy. He's also made me value angi-fragility, which is something I would have never thought of prior to meeting him. I want to be strong enough physically and mentally that I can overcome any challenge. In an even more subtle way, he challenges me. I've had a lot of people in my life, both friends, parents, and partners who would be willing to let me just walk all over them. They don't challenge my thoughts, feelings, outlooks,...anything. My husband is very different from that. He's an INTJ. Not sure if most people know the personality traits, but J stands for justice. Part of why I thought he was so arrogant when I first met him, but I had confused arrogance with the extreme need for justice and integrity. Besides all of that, he has just been the sole person with the most impact on my life. I'm very lucky to have him. If we're talking more of role models I don't know in real life like celebrities, political figures, etc. I would say Jack Spirko. He's the creator of THESURVIVALPODCAST.COM and a huge part of my life as of recently. He runs a podcast on permaculture, and survival(not the crazy apocalyptic type person.) I have learned a lot from his podcasts and we have recently decided we want a life similar to his- mainly that we want a home-stead. He's a crazy guy though. He was working in a big paying job, but wasn't happy with what he was doing and for an hour a day when he commuted to work he would do podcasts during his drive. He eventually quit his job and dedicated his time soley to his home stead and his podcast, two things he loves and is still managing to make a six figure income. He's very driven and very passionate and I find it admirable. |
