Today's Featured Biography

 

 
Karen Pulk Laxen


I am divorced. I have three grown children, and three grandchildren (they rock). I am a pit administrator (pit boss) at Mystic Lake Casino. Prior to this I have been in restaurant managment (Hazeltine Golf Course and Northland Inn). Glad to be out of that business. I enjoy many things, gardening, walking, travel. Boy do I sound boring. I guess that is part of being 53!!!

VIEW ALL BIOGRAPHIES



Mom's Favorite Sayings (and I repeated them to my kids too): 1. What part of no don't you understand? 2. I don't care who started it! 3. Money doesn't grow on trees! 4. Your face is going to freeze like that. 5. Your hands are not broken. 6. Beds are made for sleeping, not jumping. 7. No one said life is fair. 8. Eat your vegetables. 9. I don't know is NOT an answer! 10. Because I said so, that's why!
