I love mysteries some classics some modern. Sherlock Holmes in any form and any format is wonderful, I love the Thin man and Mike Hammer too.

I like mystery books: Modern times include all the alphabet mysteries (Kinsey Milhone) , several food themed series, several witch and ghost series and basically anything I walk by that seems interesting. I also loved the true blood books and all Janet Evanovich book. The ghost and Mrs McClure, Chet and Bernie PI , and on and on. Classic spy and hard boiled Dic like the Ian Fleming James Bond Series, Mickey Spillane"s, Mike Hammer and Dashiell Hammett's Thin Man are other favorites. Sometimes I read paranormal mysteries too but no particular series, i love to wander in the library and just pick up a bunch of books to try. I also read cozy mysteries on the subway that don't take much concentration

Not really a big TV fan now, I grew up in the 80's and to go with that have fond memories of the mystery and adventure shows of that decade. Also 80's Britcoms Are you Being Served, Good Neighbors, The Avengers (Steed and Mrs. Peel) and the lot.

Pretty much everything I like went off the air or ended. Some things I used to watch were Magnum PI (Tom Selleck), Murdoch Mysteries, Lucifer, Moonlight, Sister Boniface, Father Dowling, Remington Steele, Beauty and the Beast, Ghost Whisperer, Scarecrow and Mrs. King , Airwolf, Sabrina the teenage witch, MASH. I also like PBS mystery series esp Sherlock, Poirot, Miss Marple, , Mrs Bardsley, Miss Fishers murder mysteries, modern Miss Fisher mysteries. I also watch antenna TV (retro) Burns and Allen and Jack Benny late at night and watched the entire Dark Shadows and all Addams family series on video. I do like Miss Scarlet and the Duke ( or not), Nova and Nature. These still air and I watch retro stuff of the above and more for background.

Older cartoons Scooby Doo Where are you was the best, Animaniacs, Tiny Tunes, Thundarr the Barbarian, Classic Looney Tunes, Peanuts specials and the Grinch.

rock from soft to metal. classic swing and I have no memory for names I just know if I find it pleasing. i like to listen to old me radio mostly comedies some suspense . things like Burns and Allen, Jack Benny , the shadow, Boston Blackie, Lights Out and always like the background music in them. I also like going when the philharmonic plays in the parks.

Guess I should have read and done this first but part of my philosophy for a more interesting life is throw away the instructions. I work in a variety of fields, sometimes and most happiest teaching people about wildlife and caring for animals . I also enjoy building sets, decorating themed areas for exhibits and teaching about plants. Free time includes, gardening, crafting reading, walking, swimming, baking and probably a slew of other stuff. I volunteer for green based events, when time permits. My personality goes from dark sarcastic to colorful unicorns rainbows and teddy bears which can be an odd sweet and sour mix. Love Disney haunted mansion and antique amusement parks and turn of the century attractions but not into thrill rides. I have also been a fairy, a ghoulish librarian, a dancing buffalo and a fortune teller as part of jobs. I love costumes, and pieces to build them, yes, you can send a random tierra, spats, lace gloves etc. , I will likely use it. I like gnomes, elves, fairies, mermaids, dragons and mushrooms. Pass some coffee please I drink over a dz cps a day ( percolator) and green is my favorite color followed by purple black blue esp turquoise and gray. Flowers are always a correct gift and I have a stuffed (toy) Yeti and a fruit striped gum zebra. I have silvers rings or multiples on all fingers and some toes, wear dangle earrings and love silver and funky Betsey Johnson things.

I would like to ... travel abroad take my mom to Disney (earn enough to pay all) make a good lard free pie crust get an old pocket watch find a working older portable sewing machine learn to scuba dive swim with dolphins interact with an octopus (physically) afford the Renaissance festival (mega $$$ in NY) Thank the Henson family for being wonderful see my friends in California more often be able to drive create a steampunk outfit / find props collect more costume pieces build a miniature Halloween house find old hats from the 20's through 50's to wear find fun retro swing era clothes learn to work puppets properly try stilt walking ride in a helicopter

Bill and I have been together 36 years and he used to surf, likes lighthouses and is trying to learn to play the guitar .We are both dragon fans and collect them. MY brother loves dragons too but lost his collection. He and I like 1980-1990 high lead content ones best Any leads on these are appreciated, they are hard to find ( Gallo, Spoontiques, Rawcliff)

Halloween is the holiday in my home! Send Halloween anytime no problem and spiders or snakes are fine, I have a snake and love tarantula's , I used to show one in an educational context. A skeleton lives in the hall year round and dresses for holidays, A spider does too sometimes he holds props.

I also like offbeat animals holidays, Groundhog Day, Squirrel Appreciation Day, Alligators in the Sewers Day (this is a NY day), International Rabbit Day , Polar Bear day, feel free to tell me about ones you love

Classics like Casablanca, Breakfast at Tiffany's, _ ANYTHING with Cary Grant, all the Gene Kelly pictures, All the Thin Man, All the James Bond beginning to present, Charlie Chan, and Topper

Campy stuff Rocky Horror, The Shadow, Radio land murders, Hudson Hawk, Who framed Roger Rabbit

Labyrinth, Dark Crystal, All Muppet movies first to present but the JIM HENSON ones are the best!, Alice in wonderland original animated and live Disney, Mary Poppins orig and new , Most animated Disney, the Avengers movies ( superheros ) The Avengers movie (Steed and Mrs Peel)The Lion the witch and the wardrobe modern adaptations, ......

hmmmm used to like embroidery but fingers and eyes not the best, maybe paper arts? Cards sometimes but often decorating entire boxes I will be mailing. I like doing envelopes and various 3d projects, a bit tired of ATC's so only if really drawn to the topic and not into APC's either unless something special (Halloween, Alice) Lately the quirky factor is what drives me to pick a theme. I also really like decorated envelopes and hand making postcards.

I love bunnies!, porcupines, squirrel, opossum!!! Also deer, bats and the like. I also am particular to tarantulas, turtles and some snakes. Skunks, mice and rats are cute too.

Our three current bunnies are Nick Flurry REW, Handsome Hoppy, a larger super springy agouti coated boy & Miss Mariel a sassy >6 lb agouti coated bun who is now 11 years old. They along with Speedy Buggy my box turtle and Hallows Eve a Honduran Milk snake reside in our home. The bunnies are all much larger than the snake so no worries.

Ibus, our older Californian bunny hopped over the rainbow bridge two summers ago to join our other bunnies from before. We sent holiday gifts to shelter bunnies in their honor. Please adopt don't shop if looking to give an animal a home.

While I respect their place in the environment I am NOT a fan of monkeys or representations of such. I know professional clowns who are great people but I don't care for clowns , marshmallow is a no and I have less than zero interest in sports. I also don't do seasonal socks, I wear tights , mostly black sz M or L I'm 5 ft 7 137 lbs. Unless we are talking spiders, lady bugs, butterflies or Anthropomorphic crickets (Chester, Jiminey), not too into bugs. I am vegetarian lacto / ovo but if you send a recipe as part of a swap I can't use I'll alter it and / or share with a friend no worries.

A bunny made me do it ;)

This is a great kids (Adults) book- please buy it ;)
