What do you do for a living or is mrrding your living?

[R. T. POTEET]

I am an EFT practitioner, (Emotional Freedom Technique), which is to say that I am a holistic health practitioner that uses acupuncture points to release emotions that are stored in the body as a result of trauma and/or repressed emotions.

These stored emotions can color a person's life choices or lead to problems in the areas (such as organs: anger in thyroid & liver, sadness in the pancreas, etc.) in which they are stored. Releasing these emotions, for the most part without having to re-experiencing them, gives a person the freedom to make new life choices or to heal from illnesses that have been hindered by these emotions. I've written a well-received short eBook on the subject if anyone is interested. 

Chip, I use Chivas Regal and Foster's for the same thing but I always thought they were called distillers and not EFT practitioners.

Musical Genius, Retired!  Well kinda, I still own a recording company (On location recording) and do live sound for the school I used to work for, and of course I DJ now and then, Oh I'm planning on making my own album one of these days......  Yep, just like TWhite, retired musician.....

[tomikawaTT]

Happily retired after a military career and a couple of decades of various civilian jobs.

Model Railroading is about 50% of my life.  The other 50% consists of sports (once a participant, now a spectator,) Science Fiction (no, I am not a Star Trek fanatic!  I had read most of the 'new' ideas presented in the various Star Trek series years before they were televised,) and my extended (and widely dispersed) family - which will include my first great-grandson in a couple of months.

Oops!  Almost forgot railfanning.

I question your employment credentials. Your grammar (or lack thereof) speaks volumes.

I'm the head lettuce preparer for a local Burger King. I hope to move up to the fry pit someday if I'm good enough.

In a year, maybe two, you'll make assistant manager.  That's when the big bucks come in!

Yea, I'm hoping!

I heard assistant managers make an extra 2 bucks an hour over minimum wage because of their managerial skills.

Then it will be good bye 1984 YUGO and HELLO 1989 Ford Escort!

Our buns have no seeds!

[N737AA]

I have been in aviation for 20+ yrs and currently an aircraft maintenance inspector for a major airline.........shouldn't be hard to figure out which one.  I have been model railroading since I was a youngster when my dad built a small layout in our basement.  Now my two boys and I are building an 36x20 around the room multilevel layout in a finished room above the garage.  Yes it is a big garage!

I have built a few smaller layouts but now I can finally affort to build a larger one.........I think!

I am a civil engineering CADD designer who is temporarily laid up on short term disability after having my right hip joint replaced.  I can't wait to get home and get back to work on my shelf layout and finishing a couple of locomotive projects.

[youngengineer]

Locomotive engineer, BNSF railway, previously a Grocery store manager, and before that Garden Railway Manafacturer/ layout builder with my father. Haven't had as much time to play trains at home due to a 2 year old, However I hope to start on an indoor empire soon. I am the ultimate rubber gauger with trains from n scale on up to G scale, I think I have finally settled on building an N scale empire.

I am a graphic designer. I am working freelance and gaining my own clients. I believe MRing has greatly increased my ability as a designer since my creativity is willingly being advanced as opposed to what others have to do. (In the 1990s employers started giving us baby toys -YES fisher price to get us to play and be creative—didn't work out to well).

So here's to you Mr. Model Train manufacturer.... You've gone past all the finiacial obsticles of people telling you there's no money in this hobby
(backround singer: you'll go bankrupt)

You've inspired people of all backrounds to spend money on something other than video games
(backround singer: don't wanna push buttons)

You think product should be functionalble, tangable and look real good doing it.
(backround singer: Mr. Model Train manufa ha haaa turer)

My son is studying at Iowa State to become a Graphic Designer.

Please Tell me jobs for this field are lucrative and that he will NOT be spending the next 10 years of his life living in my basement working at Wal-Mart passing out smiley faces.

[twhite]

I am an assistant Choral Director and Accompanist at a Jesuit Boys Catholic High School.  Before that, I was a Choral Director at a girl's Catholic High School.  I found out that Musicians don't retire.  I tried retirement, it lasted six months before Jesuit phoned and asked me if I was available.  Oboy, WAS I!!

If this is 'retirement', then I'm all for it, LOL!

[BigRusty]

I am a professional income tax preparer. I am pretty busy 3 months in the Spring, but have lots of time to pursue my hobbies of gardening, golf, fishing, and model railroading. I haven't done much of the latter for 23 years, having moved to Arizona and there being no basements here. Now that I have remodeled my 2 car garage with a/c, fluorescent lighting, and epoxy garage floor coating I will begin with a test oval to get all of the items that have been in boxes tuned and lubed. I have attended Real Estate License school and will hopefully soon have some of the extra income to support the world's most expensive hobbies. Otherwise, it's bag boy time at Albertson's.

These days I'm an unemployed/retired/disabled eccentric.  My main function is doggie anchor/escort & human kitty scratching post.  Once upon a time, far away, I wore many hats...from grocery store assistant manager to computer systems analyst, with stops along the way doing such things as classic sports car restorer, custom RV builder, DJ & Light show operator, vending machine maintenance, amature architect, communications systems engineer, commercial printing forms designer, etc, etc, etc.   Being a jack of many trades, and master of none, is a family thing...I just followed in the footsteps of my great grandfather, grandfather, and father <shrug>

[Lillen]

Right now I'm at the university studying to become a teacher. Before that I worked at the postoffice and as a salesman for a security company.

I also drive a truck to make extra money now.

I am a full time model railroader and railfan..You see I am medically retired.

[R. T. POTEET]

I am a chief cook and bottle washer! which is another way of saying that I am hanging around the house annoying my wife!

I am, at this particular moment in time, retired which is another way of saying that I am not working although completely capable of doing such.

I do not work well under over-the-shoulder supervision so my most recent employment experience has been as a driver for a courier company - you do your job as it is supposed to be done and they leave you alone. I don't really have to go back to work but will do so before the end of this month. Three years ago a medical condition forced me to apply for Social Security benefits about 18 months earlier than I had anticipated doing so. I am collecting about 90% of full benefits and half of a military retirement benefit - my ex-wife collects the other half. I have entrepreneurial ambitions and hope in the next two to three years to be able to afford the equipment that will allow me to introduce a line of brass hand-crafted N Scale - and perhaps HO Scale also - passenger equipment.
