I am 50.&nbsp; I have a college degree that I cannot use.&nbsp; I love to write.&nbsp; I love to recycle and invent new uses for old materials.&nbsp; I love to make tie-dye material.&nbsp; I must be an old hippie.&nbsp;&nbsp; I am out of work by choice, the work available to me is so limited that I choose not to work in a standard workplace.<br /> <br /> I was a chemist for years,&nbsp; many kinds of chemistry.&nbsp; Now I cook instead,&nbsp; much more fun, and you can eat the quality control.<br /> <br /> I grow MOSS.&nbsp; It grows itself really,&nbsp; veeeery slowly.&nbsp; But oh what a beautiful tiny yet monumental thing it is.<br /> <br /> I hate to sew, but love to design clothes, and rescue fabric, I guess I am a fabric SHELTER.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> I am a mess,&nbsp; but happy to be here.
