Hi, I know a few of you know me, or of me, but for those who don't....here I am...
~My name IS really Jude, (short for Judeth, a strange and unique spelling for an equally strange and unique being) I am nudging half-a-century in May and have been a nurse since 1972. I am also a counselor for adolescents with behavioral issues and their families. Now and then, I take on facilitating anger management groups and court ordered groups for men who batter their partners.
~My home is in Worcester, Ma with my 2 teenagers. Andrea is 18 and "all-knowing"{as most teens that age are!}. Jeremy is 17 and an all-around great guy. My oldest son, Keith, is 30 and presently, staying with us. He is suffering from what I call "PTDD"{*Post-Traumatic-Divorce-Disorder} I also, have a 28 year old daughter, Jess. She resides with my Mother about 2 miles up the street. I'm thoroughly convinced that there is a revolving door on my home as my older children and many of all my children's friends pass through periodically when they need a place to stay.

~Our pets include 2 dogs. 2 cat and a variety of herps. That may and probably will change at any given time! I'm a sucker for a sad story and a rescue. I don't have nearly as many reptiles as I used to have since I keep having to empty out my "Reptile Room" to transform it into a bedroom!
~I have owned many varieties of reptiles {I even had an iguana born with no front legs.} but settled in on breeding and raising Bearded Dragons a few years ago. This year, I am looking forward to hatchling leopard geckos, as well. I also have a pair of baby hognose snakes, {my favorite kind}, Jess' 1 year old ball python { Mother absolutely refused!!!}and had a 6ft. regular burmese python(who is now taken up residence with Mr. Jungle Mist) There are only 1:2 dragons here now, A pair of blizzard geckos, a gravid albino, and a pair of very large "smorgasbord" geckos. Both if these geckos {"Strife & Discord"} are a combination of many flavors and very beautiful. I am anxious to see what hatches from the eggs that Discord is carrying now.
~It seems I have earned a notable reputation as an honest, professional and caring business person. I don't believe I have any complaints lodged against me in this department. I take great pride in treating my customers as I would wish to be treated. So far, that has worked out well for both sides.
