ink.net... Ok, I'm curious. What does everyone in here do for tuna money? I know we have some, ok a lot, of computer geeks, educators (or what passes for one) and so forth. You don't have to be any more specific than you want, but I confess to being extremely curious. If you're currently out of work, you don't have to say so, just list your career field. I am a Substitute Teacher for Cumberland Co. North Carolina, married to a Blackhawk mechanic/inspector who is medically retired from the US army. "Research Science (Chemistry)" Paint technologist: I develop the new products and processes (more on the processes side) for producing pre-painted steel - the stuff that people use for 'tin roofs', and pre-fab buildings (mainly factories and warehouses), although it has no end of uses. All my work clothes have little speckles of paint on them, and I somethimes rig up the most bizarre experiments to test the coated surface (ie, the paint) to see if will withstand the conditions its will see in its lifetime. The funnest thing was to see if water based paint would catch fire. Not easily, no, but if you work hard it, you can set almost anything on fire :-)). Generally, I am researching the interactions of different coatings when put togehter, and the effects of how you bake them, to determine which would be the best & cheapest coating combination, and how to process it in the best & cheapest way so as to still meet product requirements. Or, to put it another way: I spend my days watching paint dry, and watching paint peel. :-) Yowie |

The long answer: personal assistant to a senior member of Anglican clergy in Canterbury Cathedral. Course administration is the "admin" side of our two major theological courses every year. -- Cathi |

Hi All,
I'm retired from the phone company. I used to splice fiber optic cables as well as install and maintain the electronics that translate little flashes of laser light back into telephone lines. When I became disabled, I switched to repair testing from a computer terminal of some of the special hi-speed circuits that I had installed when I was out in the field. Most of the really high-capacity cables run in underground conduits and are spliced together in manholes. Would anyone like to hear the story of the giant alligators that live underground beneath our cities? Regards and Purrs, O J |

It's not just the miserable part though... :) As it stands now, if Tom were to be hospitalized and unconscious, I would not have the right to be by his side. If I were to die, all the assets that I own that I have willed to Tom would be taxed at 50% (or something ridiculous like that), whereas if he were my husband there would be no tax. The list of unfairness goes on and on... :(/// You and Tom should move to the UK. At least then you'd have the "Civil partnership" bill. Not ideal, but marriage in everything but name. Plus the furry crew could come on passports, and it means I'd get to see you! Helen M -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG |

The insurance at both my employer and my husband's will cover "life partners," so at least that's one small step. It is. However, the IRS considers the cost of insuring a non-married partner to be taxable income... :( -- Victor M. Martinez Owned and operated by the Fantastic Seven (TM) Send your spam he Email me he |
