I will tell you much about myself and I will do it in sections as to not overwhelm. My Hebrew name is Leah Rivkah. My grandparents came from Eastern Europe and they all lived in New York. My parents lived in New York until after they were married and then moved to Los Angeles, California. They had three children. I am the oldest, having a sister two years younger and a brother three and a half years younger. They are both married, my sister to her second husband and she has two children from her first marriage. My sister is a grandmother. My brother and his wife have three children. My father and mother passed away in 2005. My father was a general practitioner physician and my sister and brother are physicians as well. I will elaborate more as time goes on as I feel that this is a good place to start to tell you about my background.
I am an aspiring nurse and a psychology major and have done medical office assisting, C.N.A., caregiver, general office work, massage therapy, and a variety of other jobs. I enjoy piano, violin, (would love to learn the harp) singing, acting and enjoy theatre, swimming, skiing, cake decorating, cooking, painting, sewing, knitting, and baking, like to entertain guests in the home, and would love to get back in to hiking when I am more fit. I am a very appreciative person. I am losing the significant weight I need to lose and becoming healthier. My favorite movie of all time is "The Sound of Music," and my favorite song is "Love is a Many Splendored Thing."
I describe myself as a very unique and sensitive person. I am a life member of the Sierra Club and a regular whole blood donor having given over 20 gallons blood (161 pints) to the American Red Cross so far. I have my Associate Arts degree in Liberal Arts and in May 2021, I started going for my BA in Liberal Arts at the University of Arizona Global Campus.
I would love to meet my soul mate. I will love a gentleman who is very understanding and sensitive to feelings. I grew up in a Jewish family and was Bat Mitzvah on August 27, 1965 at 13. I always wanted to get married to a Jewish man. If he will discuss with me the possibility of converting to Judaism if of a different religion, that will be helpful. I am going to be very happy to raise a family with good traditional values. I want to keep a kosher home. I love living my Jewish life by being conservadox. That means that I am somewhere between being conservative and being orthodox. I am not too conservative and not too orthodox. I have traditional values when it comes to sex before marriage although I did not exactly save it for my future husband. They are still very traditional and sensitive. I have strong feelings about not using birth control. I don't believe in being sterilized as a way of preventing having a child. Barrier methods are okay.
I am deeply saddened by the fact that I haven't married after college age and had about six children. I have deep religious values and I am very spiritual also. I cannot turn back the clock but I will wind it back up again. I would have loved to be a grandma or great grandma by now. I have a fertility doctor whom I have consulted with for a few years now. Having a husband and children has always been very important to me. My favorite pets are fish in an aquarium.
Of great interest but lesser importance I would like to cruise and see the different countries of the world. In all of this I am very much a stay at home person also and hopefully my hopes for the future will come true.
Lots of love...
If I ever have a daughter I would love to name her Faith, after my paternal grandmother Fannie. She doesn't have a child named after her yet.
In vitro gametogenesis
In vitro gametogenesis (IVG) is a recent development in reproductive technology, and has been used for creating mouse embryos in vitro. IVG includes obtaining cells from a donor (such as skin cells), and differentiating the cells in a laboratory culture dish into gametes (eggs and sperm). This is something that I have a great interest in for myself.
I would like to have as many people see this as possible. I am under Dr. Taylor's care and it is going well. I am in good hands with this excellent physician. Dr. Taylor, I hope you see this. read more
