I'm assuming you raise them for their meat, then...

Look out, Wings Night!!!

All-You-Can-Eat-Gerbil Night is gonna put that right out of commission.

Maybe I need to apply for career as a Gerbil Skinner.
Way to play further into the Asian stereotype, there, Kim. *smirk*. (Pretty sure lil_c is still upset with me for saying I'd give her cat a home and pointing at my stomach.)


I demoralize children and crush their dreams. Pay isn't spectacular, but it's got decent health care and cheap dental.

Living the American Dream yet?

That's the first thing that came to mind.
That's wrong.
Sorry.

I think its a fair enough question, didn't see it as rude at all (not sure if the last post was towards me)

Does it work in the sense of do people take it? If i can tap into an underlying need(s) and hone in on solutions to address that, then I'm more successful than not. I've have plenty, PLENTY of people make what I would consider poor decisions, but its totally their call to make.

Does it work, in the sense of quality of advice? I'm biased, but I think so..I'm not reinventing the wheel, and usually veer away from abstract/philosophical conversations...for a lot of people's situations there's a semilogical progression from point a to point b, and sometimes they just aren't aware. A lot of that quality of advice comes with experience and age, learning what questions to be asking, and some of it from just keeping your skills up to date

For a woman without a degree. I have had the most interesting work. During WWII I was a crane operator. Then for years I was a full time mother, interesting work. After several years of boring clerical work I became an inside auditor for an insurance company, then years as a commercial fisherman.

Sounds like an interesting life, RT. In January, I said goodbye to a dear 92 year old friend who was a "Rosie the Riveter" during the war. She had composed a couple of songs as well. I met with her as we collaborated and I arranged these for piano/vocal, which was played at her memorial service. She was quite a lady, in every sense of the word. Reading your posts reminds me of her. :)

I used to teach French (as a substitute teacher ) in Romania. I didn't finish, yet, my studies (philology) because my husband travels a lot (with his work) and I follow him. Now, I live in Portugal, but soon will move to another country (where we will settle down). My plans are to get married in the church, have a baby (or two, or three, or four :p), continue my studies and be a professor.
