Well it’s been 3 yrs since I fled all social media & settled here. I suppose it’s time for an introduction. Name’s Janet. I left my hometown of Peterboro Ont when I was 17 & joined the military. I’ve literally had the most exciting adventures.I’ve been a switchboard operator, worked in a high tech data center, been to the North Pole I’ve ridden in a helicopter, jumped from an airplane, walked a mountain in Thailand, been a radio DJ, built computers, & now retired. Still having adventures though!
