I knew there was a reason for liking you.

You are an attorney, correct?

Doh! Sorry about that.

Hope that you still "like me" after the insult.

By the way, Teri, are you thinking of getting rid of the "K" ?

Things have changed a bit since page 6 on 23 Feb. '02.

Still doing the computer thing but now I work full-time at the New England School of Law in Boston. Also, looking back I noticed a typo. Evlin was 9 back then. She turned 12 back in October (and Colin 16). Finally got to get her ears pierced on her 12th b-day as promised when she was *very* young.

Cheers,
David

Very funny, Az

I was saddled with the "K" 14 years ago, and will have the rest of my life, I'm afraid. It's better than the predecesor.

Good thing you like Edgar The Dog; he'll inspect you in March.

Tom: not a problem and no apology needed. Not all lawyers are evil. There's actually ONE on the planet that's a wonderful human being

I don't think I'd call Perry Mason wonderful but he sure never lost.

What a wonderful question... where to start? I am an energy healer (using sound and movement and Reiki), a vocalist, dancer, songwriter, and mother. Get paid (in money) for very little of it. And love doing it all.

Slainte,
Andrea ~*~

Interesting... not much has changed in two years. I still get paid very little in money. I still love doing it all. My focus has shifted away from movement and more into gemstones, but it's all still energetic and vibrational in nature. So, I guess the only thing that has really changed is my name!

rh, both of your careers are way cool!

Acupuncture really fascinates me... I've done a bit with acupressure, giving and receiving, but I've never gotten to experience acupuncture. I've heard some amazing things regarding it! Do you work with moxa on the needles?

I guess it's bit odd to discuss alternative healing practices here, but what the hey-- it's part of us!

I'm off to visit your site right now....I'd love to learn about magnet therapy!!

Wow! It took a lo-o-ong time to read through this thread. Very interesting. Also, lots of folks seem to have wandered off over the past couple of years.

As for me:

1962-82 - US Army, mostly translating Chinese, and some Japanese, documents, along with the usual vehicle maintenance and rock painting. Also wrote Chinese-language interrogation course materials at DLI, taught one-on-one Mandarin classes to DoA civilians, and retrained some Japanese translators of Southeast Asian languages in Modern Standard (written) Arabic.

1982 - Retired from the Army, waiting for a couple of language-related jobs that didn't pan out. (Couldn't pass the CIA polygraph test for some reason.)

1983-87 - Ran a computer controlled engraving machine (plaques, trophies, name tags, signs, etc.) and built plaques and trophies, while going to night school for programming classes.

1988-2003 - Computer programmer and font designer for what eventually became Casady & Greene, Inc. C&G went under in the summer of 2003, but I didn't receive any salary for the last year of their existence, though I continued to work for them.

2002-present - Working on my own Mac application, iData 2 (personal database software),selling it on the Web with my former boss, Robin Casady, as partner. (Link in sig.)
