Hello all. I didn't pay much attention to this thread before.
I am Coral, a middle-aged woman living in the Southwestern United States. I know little about science but I have a curiosity about many things. You will find me posting mostly in the Politics and Psychiatry Forums but that does not mean I am not reading and learning in other forums. But my mind is probably not scientific because I feel little urgency to reconcile the contradictions within my own mind. I just let them drift around in my mind like a nebulous swirl -- probably because I am seriously ADD.
I like the internet/forums because it is something I can actually focus on with some success.
I have an M.A. in English, which is a mostly a useless degree in a small city with a poor economy and large university that turns out M.A.s in nonpractical subjects on a regular basis. I make my living precariously as a resume writer, business plan writer, and employment specialist. Most of my work comes from a government contract to work with people with disabilities.
The bane of my existence is financial paperwork.
My joys are my daughter, my friends, and my dog, who is learning to become a service animal.
