I have been teaching almost 30 years! I work with students with special needs (mainly autism) to help them become more demonstrative on the outside with what they have on the inside! (I learned long ago that "not being able to speak is not the same as not having anything to say!")
I love this forum and honestly feel like some of its "regulars" are dependable, concerned friends! A million thanks!

We've been married 42 absolutely wonderful years and are best friends (among other things).

It doesn't get much better than this.

Linda, I'm Jealous! You are right... it doesn't get much better than that.

In my oddly assorted careers I list; orchard boss/fruit picker, glass inspector, wife & mother, single parent, rancher, trapper, and now I'm too old and decrepit to do anything else, I have become a jewelry artist, designing and making my own unique styles(so I'm told) Retire? I just downshift and keep on truckin' Oh, yeah, and if I can't laugh about the whole thing, I'll expire from sheer misery.

I'm a Research Associate. Currently researching conservative optical logic devices. I love it when people ask what I do as most people don't understand the answer, but that's okay I didn't either till I started to do it

I am 41 years old, a Pediatrician, and mother of 4 kids, a 7 year old and triplets who are 9 years old! My husband is Israeli and after 6 years living in the States, have been back here for the past 8 years. I work in the same town I live in, and love taking care of kids in my own neighborhood, get to see them when they are sick , and then in passing at the supermarket or at the holiday play at school! All I knew before about apnea involved either premature babies or kids with big tonsils. Now I know better! I work full time and parent full time and always figured that that was a good enough excuse for my chronic exhaustion. But now I know better! Thanks to you guys for bumping this up - thought of doing it but wasn't pro active enough!

Was Snoopy one of your "spokespersons" at one time, perhaps?

Still is actually. It's been deemphasized a little but the Peanuts® gang is still going strong.

Tim,

IMHO, great choice! If you're from my generation, we grew up on The Peanuts Gang and who couldn't wait for each holiday, before the invention of VHS tapes/players, to watch each of those specials on CBS! Now, what The Gang brings to insurance matters may be questionable, but the appeal is definitely there.

Have a great day!
