What's new

What kind of career do you have?

Go to New Zealand first. Those kiwis are a blast!

I am from New Zealand, we have the best of everything here. Long golden beaches in the north to rugged snow capped mountain ranges in the south. Queenstown is a place everyone should visit once in their life, beautiful scenery and every adventure activity you could dream of. Not to mention the photo opportunities. People are friendly here and the beer is good!!!
Blah, blah, blah. Oh yeah, well Chicago has...ummmm...what does Chicago have? :)

Gang violence and heroin aren't you thing, kathy?

Yikes. Chicago really is a beautiful city and has some great places to see and things to do. I would say everyone should come and see it at least once in their lifetime.

You are right on these things. That's for sure. Gang violence is so bad.

I agree. I only had a short time there, but was amazed how clean it was. Great restaurants, great architecture on the buildings. I was very impressed. Never got a chance to eat from the famous hotdog stand where the lady cusses at the patrons. Wish I could remember the name of it, but I saw it on one of those best "dog, burger, steak, bbq" in the states shows.

Haha literally fifteen minutes up the road at the steel mill in East Chicago.

Nah I know that just as with any city there are areas that are crappy. I live in Philly and I'm from Boston. I know how these things work. Just figured that being the new guy on the block, I'd seize the opportunity to pull some punches on some big names (kathy :P) and make a name for myself. whose next?!?! :O

Are you pulling those punches or are you landing them? ;-)
 
I have a few jobs. Full time as an aerospace engineer specializing in jet engine R&D, I helped a lot with the Pratt & Whitney Geared Turbofan. Full time as a photographer focusing on fine art and stock. I also have a tooling business and invent things for fun.

Its nice when the jobs compliment each other, engineering sent me to the east coast last week so I also got to spend 7 days shooting in Tennesee, Georgia, and North Carolina....on someone elses dime ;)
 
My husband was a f18 pilot in the military who moved us every 2 years. No job beyond being mom,wife, and secretary. Once kids were old enough I managed a grocery store, moved, managed a drug store, moved, was a maid, moved. Hubby retired after 25 years of service and we moved yet again. Now i'm retired as he moves on to air Canada. In exactly 3 months I qualify for free travel and will become an explorer. Life is good!


Cool. My father and grandfather both went to the Naval Academy in Annapolis. Dad was a Lt. Commander and few the Phantom. My grandfather retired an admiral and commanded the USS Iowa for 2 years. William C. Bryson. I love the military...
