If anyone's interested, ask away.

The problem with LJ: we all think we are so close, but really, we know nothing about each other. So ask me something you want to know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away. Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you.

Since you asked me... What is your job in real life?

[madeleone]

Haha, Turn about's fair play.
I am a physical therapist assistant and I work part-time (3-days a week) for a home health care agency. So I go to people's homes (most of our patients are elderly) and we teach them exercises and how to use a walker, cane, safe transfers, etc. I've been doing it for 31 years (not all in home care though) and I keep telling hubby I want to retire! But he keeps saying we can't afford to yet, still have 2 kids in college, so maybe in a couple more years. :)
Before going to school for PTA, I also worked as a waitress, a nurse's aide, and a brief stint as a Tupperware Lady.

If you could tell one person something without fear of reprisal, what would you say, and to who?

[madeleone]

I would tell my brother in law that while I am happy for him that he has found religion and been "saved" please stop trying to push his religion on others. And if he is truly a Christian, he should stop being a prejudiced ass when it comes to other races and religions.
Wow, it felt good to say that. But for the sake of peace in the family I would never say it to his face.

Those people are the worst, especially when they are otherwise a really nice and normal person. I don't understand why people try to force religion down other peoples' throats. I don't force my atheism on anyone!

Glad you got to say it to me, if not to him. :D

How did you meet Mr. Madeleone?

[madeleone]

Although we went to the same small town school, he is 5 years older the me, so he graduated when I was in 8th grade and we had never met. By the time I met him I had been out of high school for a year and he had just come back from a stint in the Navy (Viet Nam era)and we were introduced by mutual friends. We were married a year and half later, it will be 35 years next month. (hard to believe that many years have passed by but true!)

Hi, I adore your current drabble series on owl and I'm always happy to find people who love Lucius and Severus, so I was wondering if it would be OK to friend you?

[madeleone]

Sure thing. I'll friend you back.

I'm so glad you like TGPP, there are only about 8 more drabbles to go and it will be done. I really enjoyed writing it and I am very pleased that it is getting such a positive response. :)
