I am what I consider right of center. I'm pretty socially liberal and economincally conservative. My issues I consider voting issues are pretty conservative (for example I am pro gay marriage but am not going to determine my vote based on that. I consider economic policy much more important).

I live in the Chicago suburbs in Hillary Clinton's hometown (the actual Illinois native). Single never married.

I am a devoted actual aunt by blood of 5 born in the last 3 1/2 years and an honorary aunt of 14.

I work in HR and also in data production and accuracy for a small Chicago area company (We're too small to really have a full time HR department so it's part of my job but not my whole job).

I'm a huge sports fan. I love the Cubs (they are bad), Bears (They are going to be awesome this year), Bulls, Blackhawks and my alma matter Northwestern football.

Religion wise I consider myself a Christian as far as the general beliefs of the faith but don't really belong to any denomination. I attend a non denominational church when I do go.

I am on a personal health improvement right now where I dropped over 120 pounds in the last 18 months. No surgery or drugs. But have a long way to go.

I only watch 2 tv shows. Castle and Bones.

Looking forward to posting and getting to know the others here.

I am delighted you did find us and a little disappointed you had such a hard time locating our board. At any rate you're here now and I look forward to discussing important issues (and nonsense) with you!
