Three years ago I was a Mental Health Counselor for the county (clinician of the year hold your applause please), I went on long national disaster assignments with the Red Cross - twelve total (I've done some famous ones), and I always wanted to have an herb garden.

:humble:

Then, we got pregnant and I decided to stay home with my DD now 2.

I fingerpaint, scrapbook, watch Barney, and I am going to have one heck of a garden this year (I'm adding blueberries, rhubarb, sunflowers, and a "salad patch"). Mommyhood is pretty good work, if you can get it. The money sucks, but my little slice of immortality is quite the benefits package.

I am what you call "Semi-retired". I owed a Retail Fuel Oil & Service Company on Long Island, NY, small, we did around 1 million gallons a year. Then because of being too fat and unhealthy, (also no children wanted to take over the company) so after 30 years, I quit and sold the company to a bigger fish. I got the Band installed and am now living in Sunny Florida, and lov'in it big time. I now do Rental Prop., buying and selling real estate, and a lot of lofing around, LOL, Not really, the fact is I have no idea where I found the time to work, LOL.

This is a great thread, it's way cool to see what others are doing for a living. You guy's have some really neat job's. Almost's make me want to get back into the work field...... NOT !!!!!

Boy most of you have great "jobs". Well, I wouldn't trade my job for anything in the world,but I am, and have been a Stay at Home Mom for almost 10 years! EEK! I have a "never use" degree in Criminal Justice. I don't think I will ever use it either, I like my current job too much. :clap2:

Wow! Such interesting occupations.

I'm currently in my 16th year of teaching elementary music in TX. I'm certified in other areas but have always taught music. Most of the time it's fantastic, but every now and then dealing with close to 600 personalities will take its toll.

I'm also working on my Masters in Education through an online program at Grand Canyon University. It's definitely been an interesting experience learning and not being in a real classroom. I'm finding out just how self motivated I can be to get things done.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
