Tina Flores

I am a proud American of primarily Hispanic descent but also have some German, Spanish, and French in me from a couple or so generations back. My family is very close. I am 41, the middle child of 3, never married, single, no kids of my own, but have 2 great dogs who seem to be shedding right now and its driving me nuts. I have an advanced education with an AA, BA, and an MBA. I spent most of my career life in mental health/mental retardation (approximately 26 years) so I definitely have a heart and soul. I like to do all kinds of things, and have lots of hobbies even if I don't get to participate in them regularly which include movies, music, water, and family (top 4 passions) and all that those entail. I am a huge movies and music and water fan. I am a certified scuba diver although I have yet to swim the tropical waters but one day I will. I've been certified for quite a few years but have sort of let it "die" if you will in the midst of pursuing other things such as school and work. I also love the arts (and all that that entails), cars, motorcycles, sports (Go Cowboys, Steelers, and Spurs), writing (I can be a chatterbox), meeting new people, trying new things as long as its ethical and not gross (haha), and I like to laugh and see others laugh and have fun. I'm a strong independent woman but definitely believe in chivalry and being pampered. I believe a good relationship is founded on communication, honesty, fidelity, friendship, love, and compromise. I love our military through and through. I spray my Facebook page with patriotic pictures and videos whenever I can. Let nobody tread on us or the flag for which we stand and the constitution that we are to abide by. God Bless America and all who defend her. God Bless our troops and bring them home safely to their loved ones as quickly as possible. I am tired of hearing of casualties. Thank you Britain for being our strongest ally and everything I said about patriotism I share with you. I look forward to hearing from anyone who does not want to pick a fight with me about my views and opinions...I feel what I feel and I am very passionate and outspoken about it but still respect the feelings of others...that's what is great about this country...you get to be you because of our troops. Let us never forget. AMEN.
