I've been a Registered Nurse 25 yrs. I also have degree in Psych (true love working with special kids).
I love animals and nature. I often rescue very small deserted animals. I have a 70% Bobcat I rescued at 2 wks old, not fully grown yet, who is currently my best friend.
I love to read many kinds of books and love most types of music, too (play piano and sing). I write and have had a couple of things published.
Intelligent conversations stimulate me, with people who can agree to disagree and still like/respect each other when it's over. I particularly love philosophy,psychology, anthropology, history, and political discussions. I'll discuss medical issues theoretically or anecdotes, but please don't ask for medical advice because I must only say "Ask your doctor" for liability reasons.
I was injured on my job and am now physically disabled at a much too early age, which is very hard for me to be sedentary, as a formerly very active person. My mind doesn't accept the disability - I just don't feel disabled until I try to do some of my former activities and my body lets me quickly know I am disabled.
I am hoping to find other intelligent people on this site to enjoy stimulating discussions on a variety of topics. Making some friends would be very welcome also, since I am mostly homebound and it is very lonely, boring, for a person accustomed to being around people all day, everyday.
Welcome, I'm Brandon
