About Me

I left the rat race of a high pressure job in Chicago in 2007 & I'm enjoying getting back to doing the things I enjoy. It's also great to be able to spend time with our families which are spread out across the country without worrying about getting back to the jobs.

Interests:

Cooking, getting the house Tony and I recently bought back in shape, reading, jigsaw puzzles and investing in the stock market. I used to work for small prepared food company selling to grocery chains, etc., so I've had chefs and food buyers as associates for years(I wasn't in the kitchen)...that just fed the interest in food that Miss Picky Eater already had. If I cooked I didn't have to include the ingredients I didn't like (now that's motivation) so when Mom went back to work in my early teens I picked up kitchen duty and never really stopped.

8 Amazing Holes!

These holes are not only amazing, but some of them are really terrifying - especially #8! The sheer scale of these holes reminds you of just how tiny you are.

1. Kimberley Big Hole - South Africa

Apparently the largest ever hand-dug excavation in the world, this 1097 meter deep mine yielded over 3 tons of diamonds before being closed in 1914.

2. Glory Hole - Monticello Dam, California

A glory hole is used when a dam is at full capacity and water needs to be drained from the reservoi r

This is the " Glory Hole" at Monticello dam, and it’s the largest in the world of this type of spillway, its size enabling it to consume 14,400 cubic feet of water every second.

3. Bingham Canyon Mine, Utah

This is supposedly the largest man-made excavation on earth. Extraction began in 1863 and still continues today, the pit increasing in size constantly. In its current state the hole is miles deep and 2.5 miles wide.

4. Great Blue Hole , Belize

This incredible geographical phenomenon known as a blue hole is situated 60 miles off the mainland of Belize . There are numerous blue holes around the world, but none as stunning as this one.

5. Mirny Diamond Mine , Serbia

This one is an absolute beast and holds the title of largest open diamond mine in the world. At 525 meters deep, with a top diameter of 1200 meters, there’s even a no-fly zone above the hole due to a few helicopters having been sucked in.

6. Diavik Mine , Canada

The mine is so huge and the area so remote that it has its own airport with a runway large enough to accommodate a Boeing 737. It looks equally cool when the surrounding water is frozen.

7. Sinkhole in Guatemala
