Bella Breeze, you sound very well educated in the real world. That's the compliment from your struggles in life. Remember, once you master your situation, on your own, you will have control of the outcome. :wave:

Thanks for your comments and encouragemen. I hope that happens someday too. But until then.......

My motto is as long as I am happy within myself, I am happy at doing anything. You can not choose your family, but you can choose your friends and associations.

Layer Kahlua, Bailey's and then Grand Marnier  :2thumbs: I can make a killer Long Island Iced Tea  :drunk: 

Ever make a Scary Green Frog?

It's a layered drink. 3 things in it, Ozuo, and some green stuff I can't remember it.

It's a layered drink. Kalua, Ozuo, and some green stuff I can't remeber the name.

Anti-freeze?  :roflsmiley:

Anti-freeze?  :roflsmiley:

I remember it now that I'm more awake. It was Called a Scary Green Toad; not Frog.
Layered drink. Very Smooth. 2 or 3 of these will put you near your grave. Someone just has to kick you in.

  I build custom homes.  Been in the business since high school.  Participated in Vocational Building Trades in High school.  Ever since then I have been building homes.  I work from all phases of the home.  From design to moving the customer in.  There are not many parts that I do not do with the home.  I prefer not to do any drafting or architectural work.  Far too boring to sit in a room and draw on a piece of paper, read guidelines and what not.  I much more prefer to be out in the wonderful rocky mountains building homes and seeing all the beauty.  No job too small and definitely no job too big.  Havn't done a multi million dollar home,   Yet!  Eventually I plan on doing  more top dollar custom homes instead of regular custom homes.  The market is holding very well up here in the mountains as the rich people can build  "Cabins"  for vacationing whenever they want. 
  If only I could figure out what the multi millionaires are doing to get that kind of cash?  Always looking for something to bring more money without loosing any of my freedoms. 
 
  I spent 2 years as an artist and loved every minute of it.

 Cuda Hunter, I knew you were a contractor even before this post.  :eek7: Just the attitude.  :grinyes: I do production, subdivision tracts of homes, and that is not happening now. Please send some work my way bud. I'll try custom crown molding, granite, whatever. :crazy:

I graduated in master of science degree few months ago and right now I'm working as a researcher in the field of hydraulics at our university. The pay is poor but the "privilidges" are great! We have a pretty big testing/prototype laboratory with couple of lathes and milling cutters etc. and I can use those on my spare time.
