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!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
