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.

      April Surgery

My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
