It occurs to me that someone who finds my website probably want to know a little bit about what makes Joy tick.
I was born Joy Beulah Crammer, the eldest daughter of Randall and Hope Crammer, on April 1 (no foolin'!), 1979. I was born at Gundersen Lutheran Hospital in La Crescent, Minnesota, and baptized exactly a month later. My sister Jean was born three years later, and my parents quit after that.
We all moved to Moline, Illinois, in 1985, when my dad got a new job at Heft's Meatpacking Plant (he left the job, and us, soon after). I enrolled in kindergarten at Our Redeemer Lutheran Grade School (Peter Heckle transferred there in the sixth grade), then went to Southridge Trinity for high school. After that, I spent two semesters at Near West Illinois Technical College in the phlebotomy program before I realized that just because I love the needlework of knitting, I don't love the syringe kind.
Ever since then, I've worked at the Lincoln Relay System where I work as a communication assistant helping deaf, hard of hearing, and speech disabled people make their phone calls. I also work part-time at the local Jo-Ann Fabrics (but just for the discount). And now I have my own radio show, too!
My favorite movie is Beaches, and my favorite show is Golden Girls (in re-runs obviously!). I also love, LOVE Andrew McCarthy, especially in Pretty in Pink where he won an Oscar for best eyes. And my favorite feline is my cat Purr-l.
That's about it. Thank you, friends.
