In Dec '24 I was blessed to see my 69th year. I'm a mum of 5, have 13 grandchildren, and 1 great grandchild scattered from one end of my country to the other. They left their home state to find better opportunities in Washington state, Nevada, Colorado, and Florida, so pieces of my heart are fragmented.  If I could I would join them, yet I'm rooted here. I'm def not the typical southern woman. Always questioning led to a lifetime of research.

I abhor bullying of any sort, which includes people lashing out at others in comments. The behavior in comments on social media sites that vilify others for their honest opinions is no less bullying. Calling users Haters is bullying. People will often dislike what you like. We aren't clones. Opinions are personal. I believe in the freedom of speech. Everyone has the right to speak their thoughts. Unless it harms others emotionally or physically.

I'm retired, have way too much time on my hands, yet my health doesn't allow me to volunteer like I would so love to do. Such as it is, I spend most of my time online on one social media site or another, and watch mainly East Asian dramas & films, piddle in my yard, and eye the unresolved DIY projects which need more stamina to finish. 

I've lived an extremely full life with experiences, good AND bad.  Nix traveling though. The only trips I've made are within my own country. THAT is my one regret, to be able to travel to the foreign places I can now only visit through media.

Live & Learn. The 1st time you didn't know any better, the 2nd time you did. There is NO 3rd time. I solely trust in God, Jesus, & Holy Spirit. <<<these are what I live by.

Use it up, Wear it out, Make do, or Do without (I follow my Beloved maternal grandmother's advice)

I love others' stories. People are really amazing in their unique appearance, experiences, wishes, hopes, and dreams, AND thoughts. It's a blessing to have varied friends from whom I can learn. It makes me happy to connect with folks across the world and receive (virtual) hugs since I don't have the opportunity IRL (in real life). I'm a HUGE hugger.

I've been watching Asian dramas since 2014 (a few in 2000 on VHS & DVD from the local library, so why I waited until '14 to go all in is 🤷🏼‍♀️), and was pointed to MDL in 2022.  It was the best recommendation one could receive.

I rate based on the writing, direction, cinematography, editing, the casting (some dramas they feel incompatible), music, etc. I do NOT rate based on a love for any particular actor or actress who is cast in a drama.. I see characters only. My rating is a Me thing and does not denigrate your ratings. We bring our life experiences along when viewing, and I'm positive you haven't lived my life nor I yours.

If you've gotten this far, then before you request a friendship, please DM me first what led you to want to make such a request or where we've crossed paths on MDL.
