Born a 10th generation Oregonian, (5 generations on each side) I have an enthusiasm for learning and teaching new things. After a ten year mini career in the dental field I moved on to research and embraced the social web. Though the internet is far too large for any one person to claim to be an expert, I can hold my own with the latest trends.
I enjoy researching and writing blogs. As the "Internet Program Director" for myMotherLode.com since 2008, I update the website and have a wide variety of interests. There is always something entertaining, educational or inspirational to share.
Since 1917, 79 “National Emergencies” have been declared by Presidents beginning with Woodrow Wilson who declared only one, followed by FDR who declared three having to do with the Depression and World War II, on up through Joe Biden who, in 2 years, has declared six, which is not a record by the way, and does not include those currently threatened on climate change and reproductive rights. Republican Presidents have been just as prolific in the wielding of Executive Orders and, along with Democrat Presidents, bypassing the legislative process and abusing the intent of the National Emergencies Act.
