    Wow, do we have some variety or what.

    Well, I seem to be in a unique position. I am a "stay at home Dad!" Been doing that since I retired from the USAF, June 1993; had five kids, three of which are still at home (son will be 15 in May, and my two daughters just turned 14 and 12 this month). My 2nd oldest son is graduating from Lebanon Valley College this year, and my first-born son, well he passed away in a car accident (as some of you might recall) in Oct 2000 at the tender young age of 20yrs, 8mos.

    I think I might rejoin the work force sometime next year; I'm still only 44, and although I don't need to work, increased income is almost always welcomed; otherwise I may get old before my time. image

    Hey Lori -- more power to us homemakers. image

  • Great thread – Of course I’m a fulltime coin dealer. After I read all of these threads – I couldn’t find a mortician. Is there an undertaker out there?

    Well, as my sig picture and my website suggest, I am a computer animator. Sometimes great money, sometimes not, always interesting though! I have gotten to do several TV shows, a feature film, the space shuttle investigation, sports teams animations etc. I will soon be moving away from TV and film to focus on videogames as they are much more stable!
