Subject: Re: OK, time to fess up... by Epimax on 2009/1/26 20:19:46 Cool Topic! Well, for what it's worth: David, 44.. I've been married for 20 yrs (We've been together 25yrs) and we have 1 daughter (19mo old!). Yep, lets call it an 'unexpected blessing', because I never planned to have kids, but God had other plans! With that said, I now couldn't imagine life without her, but it was (and still is at times!) a BIG adjustment! What else...I've worked for a Pharmaceutical CRO for 18 of the past 20yrs. Took a 2 yr absence back in 1998 so we could move back to Louisiana so my wife could be with her Mom during her fight with cancer. During those 2 yrs I worked on a gas pipeline in Iowa for about 6 weeks, then obtained my CDL and drove tanker trucks across county. I hated being away from home, so I found a job with Borden driving a transport across La, Ark, and Miss (home daily-good job!). Also during that time I worked on my father-in-laws farm, driving tractors/combines/cotton pickers/the works! Although times were tough during that period, looking back I enjoyed my work much more than the 18yrs in the pharmaceutical industry combined... Anyway, we returned to NC in 2000, because we just couldn't make ends meet in La. Been here ever since.. I lost my younger Brother to cancer 3 years ago, and my wife lost both her Mom and Dad within 1 year. Actually, her Mom and Dad passed away on the same date, exactly one year apart. What are the odds on that? My wife is now a stay-at-home Mom, so without her income things are a little tight at times, but it's worth it. Our daughter is only going to be young once, so we didn't want to miss it. (Cuz we SHORE ain't having anutter!!) Interests include, but are not limited too...The Vette, boat, guitars, drums (not used much right now!), and other stuff...  |
