Eve Roper August 28, 2021 at 9:59 PM great bio of accomplishments :) Caren Krutsinger August 29, 2021 at 11:25 PM Thank you Eve. I never thought of any of that as accomplishments; it was just stuff I "sort of fell into".

Kim Rodrigues August 27, 2021 at 2:53 PM Jealous - me! Happy for you! Caren Krutsinger August 27, 2021 at 6:50 PM I know why - the grandmother of ten part.

Marikate Kingston August 26, 2021 at 9:19 PM You could also title your poem MAGNIFICENT ME! Caren Krutsinger August 27, 2021 at 9:49 AM What a lovely thing to say!

L Milton Hankins August 26, 2021 at 6:21 PM WOW! Okay, write that thesis because you deserve to be called Dr. Caren! But, I say, what would your thesis be about? You have many hours in many subjects! Like me, you must have taken subjects just because you wanted to learn more about them without regard for diplomas or degrees. I had 150 hours for my B.A. before I settled on the 30 I needed for history in order to major in something I loved. L Milton Hankins August 27, 2021 at 6:04 PM I went on to get my masters and doctorate in theology. As much as you enjoy writing, a thesis should be a snap for you, but I see your point. Why bother?!! Caren Krutsinger August 27, 2021 at 9:50 AM You will love this. I have a masters plus 90 so they have to pay me at the doctorate level but I will not have to write a thesis!
