Just got a job at Needless Markup. I also sell e-books on how to make money. The out of the house job is to force me to get out of the house now that the kids are in preschool, and meet new people. LOL DH says I am a shut in.

Worked in property management for quite a few years, had a "I had kids young and don't feel like I have had any fun moment" so i went out and took classes for firefighting. Got one good season in as a wildland firefighter in 2002 and then it got interesting from there.

After back surgury, some problems with my heart and a TON of weight gain (I have never been small by any means but was soooo much healthier) I find myself temporarily back as a community manager for a property manangement group.

I am currently going back to school for a few different things.....

1. I am going to finish my degree in fire science (only have 12 credits to go) so I can put a "diploma" to all the hours and hours of time I spent in class.

2. I am taking classes at Clayton College for a bachelors of Holistic Nutrition (this is just for me so I can learn a better way to take care of me and my family for the long run)

3. I am going to Arizona in September to get certified in permenant cosmetic application.

My goal is to find something to do with the USFS that is fun, only part-time and only in the summer, plus not as stressing on my body as fighting fire, then I can do the permenant cosmetics on the side as a creative outlet (that just happens to make really good money) so I can enjoy the last few years my boys are home (they are 12 & 15) and have flexible schedule to spend time with my wonderful DH that doesn't have a flexible schedule (he is a police officer).

I am a deputy in the Clerk of Court office in our County Courthouse. (I know everybody's little secrets!) Back in August 2005, a couple of weeks before my lap band surgery, a guy flipped out when the sheriff's deputies tried to serve a protection order on him and he came and set our police department and the courthouse on fire! Then he shot a police officer in a round of gun fire. We had only left the courthouse about 20 minutes before he poured the gasoline in the doorway to set the fire.

That was big news here! It is a small county and things like that just don't happen here!

For money I work as an accountant processing bill backs and program allowances for a large Tomato processing plant, hope to change careers and go into teaching.

For love I am the single parent to the most beautiful little boys in the world (recently divorced).

Hi everyone....I'm a Human Resources Assistant for an Ivy League university in NY. I worked in insurance for 12 years then they downsized, but I'm much happier where I am now (for 8 years so far!). My husband is a foreman for a construction company.

Before I got sick with Fibro and CFS, I was a certified massage and Reiki therapist. I'm hoping once I lose enough weight, I'll feel well enough to return to work.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
