What does everyone do for a living?



Recommended Posts

My full time job is a service technician for lift truck batteries, I have been a volunteer firefighter for 10 years now(and counting). I am currently awaiting medical discharge orders from the National Guard, I spent 13 years between active duty and weekend warrior. I also am a member of the local ruritan club and amateur radio club.

But my favorite job is being a husband to the most wonderful woman and father to a great daughter. Without them supporting me, I am afraid to think where I would be.

My dh and I own two businesses: romantic gondola cruises in Newport Beach (CA), Lake Las Vegas (NV), Irving (Dallas area, TX), Myrtle Beach (SC), and soon to open in Orlando (FL) -- see www.gondola.com. My dh also performs wedding ceremonies in Southern California -- www.YouMayKissTheBride.com -- and I run the office for him.

Hey -- if anyone wants a gondola cruise in any of our locations, I can give you a special LBT discount :)

In addition to that, we homeschool our two daughters ages 8 (3rd grade) and 5 (kindergarden).

<WHEW>Makes me tired just typing it!

I would be interested in an LBT discount for the Lake Las Vegas gondola cruise. We'll be in Las Vegas from February 12th through the 16th. :clock: Thank you!

The only time I can't offer a discount is on the 12th-14th because of Valentine's Day ("the superbowl of gondolas"). But if you can go on the 15th or the 16th, I can give you 15% off any cruise :clock:.

Just call 877-4-GONDOLA and ask for the LBT discount.

I work part-time as a conservator representative (legal guardian) for twenty mentally-handicapped individuals. I mainly work from home (receiving emails, faxes, phone calls that require me to make medical and financial decisions for my clients since they have no family members to make these decisions for them). I also work VERY hard as a mother of three: Caleb Michael (almost 5), Samuel Taylor (almost 3), and Hannah Grace (almost 1).

I completely understand, but, thank you for the offer on the 15th. We may just take you up on it. :clock:

I am a registered nurse. I work as a director in a large health care corporation. I now cover 3 hospitals. It is a huge job. I'd rather stay at home with my kids. My dh is in grad school to be a counselor, so once he is done I plan on working at home as a legal nurse consultant.

HI! I am a corporate lawyer in NYC! I definitely hear you on office clothes. I just got banded on Tuesday and honestly the inspiration came largely from the fact that I no longer fit into a SINGLE DARN SUIT and I just refused to spend more money and buy bigger clothes. It made me not want to even go to work at all or get out of my pj's. I really hope and pray that the band will work for me and WITH ME so I can look forward to opening my closet in the mornings! Good luck!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
