I am my own source, being Naomi herself.) I was conceived around the spring solstice in 1958, and born on 12,22,1958, in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, USA. I was given the last name of Haas, because Bernard Haas was my mother's spouse at the time. In January of 1962, my mother Myrtle and my biological father Lloyd Provart Foster got married, having both lost their spouses in the intervening years.
I conceived my daughter Elizabeth Caroline in the spring of 1982, and she was born the day after Christmas of that year. Her father was Craig Williams Norrell, from Florida. His parents were Lane Williams and Dr. Horace Norrell. I married Rick Donald Wiltzius in 1988, and divorced him in 2003. We had no children together.
I've led enough of an interesting life for an autobiography. I've been writing it, and really only need to edit and organize it before publication. I just turned 60, and have taken early retirement as much as I can.
Notables: I have been tested with an IQ of 160. My progeny test higher than that.
I was gifted with many talents including; dancing, a nice singing voice, and the ability to write music, artistic sensibilities, mathematical sensibilities, a rockin' body, writing ability, and a sense of humor appreciated by most. I was not gifted with a pretty face. I am glad of this.
My body is far healthier than anyone could possibly expect after having smoked cigarettes for over 40 years. I am flexible, look far younger than my 60 years, and can lift 40 pounds easily enough. However, my teeth have all rotted because of my sugar addiction and I just got the last of them pulled last summer.
I have problems with addiction: Sugar and nicotine are the biggest. I am a chocoholic. I drink WAY too much soda. I have dabbled with drugs (It was the 70's!!), and have remained faithful to cannabis while letting all the rest fall far into the past. I hear from a previous doctor that I probably won't ever get cancer because of my lifelong relationship with cannabis. I'm sticking with that excuse, but generally smoke it for the flavor. And when I drink, I tend to be tooooo clingy and tooooo loving. So I don't do that. It causes problems.
Having been raised with 11 other children was harrowing. I do not recommend it.
I did not do well in school, even with my high intellect. I was basically distractible with too much energy. My mother called it "high energy child", but since then the professionals have come up with the tag Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder. My daughter was diagnosed with this, and I know it runs in families.
I have been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder most of my life. More recently I was diagnosed with PTSD since I've lived such an autobiography-worthy life.
My advice to all who read this: Stay in school. Try to do normal things, even if it means being normal. Living the life of Riley isn't all it's cracked up to be.
