Nice to meet you Paul. Thats a nice career. Thank you for sharing. I live in  the USA, Calif. 63 years young and spent early years as house wife and mother. My children grew up and I went  back to college to get my teaching credentials.. Ended up teaching preschool children and working with autistic kids as often as I could.  Now medically retired but recovering from major health problems but doing very well.I found the forum while researching some diet pills I was using to lose weight..

No not presently, it was civil engineering I did but it requires the basics in physics and maths so became interested in science that way.

OK, well it Is great that you are interested, and participate a lot in our forum, Its  nice to have your contributions. I have been away a long while and am shocked by how few folks are participating these days. I hope to see our  numbers go  back up again! It's a great forum with good information, and I for one feel I'm never too old to learn something new daily, or to understand many things more thoroughly then I have known, before.
