Having been allowed the privilege of serving as the Stretchpert here, I thought you might want to know a bit about me. I am blessed to have grown up in less than sumptuous surroundings, so it has always been appropriate to just take care of things. As a matter if reality, I long ago discarded my Superwoman suit, but I do have an ongoing fascination with how to take care of myself, my family, and others under ordinary as well as adverse conditions. I feel a concern that too many in our current society, Forumites excluded, don't feel or assume enough personal responsibility. I like learning and knowing lots of things about how to live relatively comfortably without depending on society's systems. And, most of all, I know that SELF-sufficiency pales in the Light from Above. Anna Marie
