My dad is a retired Mechanical Estimator from NBBJ and The Austin Company and my mother is a retired Large Winder from Eldec Corp. They are oldies, lol but I love em dearly.

we're currently 'riders of the purple wage'. my mom gets my dad's retirement. half of what they gave him when he retired from more then 30 years of working for the railroad and telegrapher/towerman/clerk. i've done a number of different things in my life, but right now, i'm not gettting anything. my wife gets dissability and does a bit of tayloring on the side. although i think she spends more on it as a hobby then she actually gets from doing so. at any rate i wash her dishes and floors and clothing and cook most of what both of us eat, and her check pays the rent and buys the groceries. the only thing we own really, that's of any 'asset' value, is this computer, and that's not really above low middle of the line when it was new. my dad had a pretty good income toward the end of his working, but when i was in school we pretty much just bearly got by. things i have done myself include heavy equipment apprentice on the railroad myself, also driller's helper on mineral exploration rigs, a lot of dishwashing and general help restaraunt jobs, a few other things involving geology and tecnology and that sort of thing. what i did in the airforce to get out of being drafted was fix radar jamming equipment. nothing particularly glamourous. but mostly odd bits like that. i've sorted fruit and stacked boxes too. worked for harry and david/jackson and perkins/bear creek (different names associated with different products, of the same company really, in southern oregon) never really been social enough nor gutsy enough to really get some of the kinds of jobs i probably could have if i had been. so now all i have is a wife who gets a nut check and a mom, who is almost 90 who gets half of what was dad's retirement. i'd love to be working somewhere by wifie can't seem to understand that someone needs to be allowed to get enough sleep to be able to do so. or at least i would and always have. creating and exploring are what i live for, but since i have close to zero tollarance for any kind of stress, espcially social stressess, i've never been able to do anything as closely related to ether as i would have prefered, for a living. =^^= .../\...
