I am self employed. I can't really say what as my website is easily google-able and has my full name,address & phone number on it.
I love it though. I work from home so I can be here with my kids.

Wow, all the wonderful things everyone is doing. :thumbsup: I am just a manager in a big box store serving the public and trying to keep the bill collectors happy.

You do such great things. I loved working Wildlife Rehabilitation at the zoo. I really miss it.

I also wish you lived near me. I have an awful time with my computer. Heaven help me with that darn cell phone. Technology is going to kill me.

Awesome, I'd love to be a pilot one day, but not a professional pilot, I would like to fly my own plane. What plane do you fly btw?

I mainly fly a glider, a Grob 103 but also fly a grob 102. I mainly fly 172s and 150s when in a powered plane. I have flown in a Starduster and a Pitts S2C for acrobatics though.
