    Just got a little curious as of what you guys do for a living. I am nosy, sorry. :( My parents own an automotive business and just recently brought me in from working on cars to helping out in the office. My mom says I can sell wool underwear in the summer time, so I sell parts instead. jeremy

    My Dad owns 2 businesses, a jewellery store, and a Security Guard Company. I run the jewellery store, and my brother runs the security company.

    Yes, I have a pair of older twins ages 21 { girl and boy} and a daughter at the age of 17 then I now have my youngest surprise son of two years old. My oldest daughter and I were pregnant at the same time. The boys are 4 months apart. It's like having twins around again! It's trying on my older body! haha

    Janice,
    If you lived in this area I would have you over to show you how cool it is. LOL
    I forgot, I also do the tax and payroll stuff for my husband's masonry company. I just always forget that since I would do it for my husband anyway.

    Not ASE yet, but I am Ford certified in electronics, manual trans, drivetrain, suspension, and brakes. I am working on more, I only need my auto trans cert, and the ASE for electrical, manual and auto trans, and I will be a Drivetrain Master Technician. I am just too lazy to drive to take the ASE right now. I will in the spring though.

    I own a roofing co.. We do mostly standing seam metal roof's{Not cheap}. We also do chimney flashing repairs on roof's like slate, tile and cedar shake{more difficult and more costly}. Lot's of copper work. My wife does the book's and payroll{talk about somebody that like's bossing the guy's around}, She even tell's me what to do{appointments, meetings and such}. I stood my ground. The guy's know who's boss. She comes out of the office and tell's us what we're doing everyday. Oh well. You know what they say; Behind every great man, is a better woman.
