User:Ruth Billheimer

Hello, I'm Ruth Billheimer. It's my real name and, as there aren't that many Billheimers in the world,chances are I am who you think I am! I live in Yorkshire, England, with my husband who is an immigrant to the UK, originally from Chicago. I am nagging him to edit the article on his Uncle Ray, founder of Bally games, which he might do one day. I have been using Wikipedia for a long time to look up information in connection with my hobby, Railroad Tycoon, Sid Meier's computer game which is enjoying a long life thanks to the Hawk & Badger Railroad Forum, Molse's SIM-Games-Forum and others. Recently I have set up two businesses and their websites, Virtual Balance Personal Development and My Paper Work. Because of my personal development business, I have done some research on work-life balance and that's what made me join the Wikipedia community. Clearly I can't and wouldn't publicise my own business but I have put in a edit request for someone to add a link to my research from the article on work-life balance. I have had a lot of fun making Squidoo lenses, but links to that site aren't allowed on Wikipedia. I hope this is just for technical reasons and not because there's something wrong with Squidoo. I'd hate to be associated with something that wasn't quite honest or had a bad reputation.
