    I homeshool my 10 year old daughter and every day from 1-3 I clean the bathrooms in the RV park we live in. On Mon, Wed, Fri & Sat . I work from 4-8 in the Office of the RV park. It works out great with our homeschooling schedule. We get free rent ,propane and electric in exchange for the bathroom cleaning so it's so worth it. Cindy :heart:

    I'm a Business Analyst. It's an IS/IT job where my role is to bridge the gap in understanding between how the business end of the company wants to to do their work and how the technical folks build the systems to get it done. It's a bit like translating Mom's general directive of "clean up your room" (the business folks) to the perspective of a 5-year-old - " first you put the Legos into the blue bin...."

    Sorry Banks...but you techies DO get hung up on the details :ohwell: :laugh:

    Agreed, for normal techies. But I'm a super techie that owned his own consulting business :tongue:
    So I know how to talk with those silly non-technical people. :drinker:

    Yep....and that's why our "special name" for super techies is "consultants" :heart: :bigsmile:

    p.s. I'm only hard on you cause I married a "super techie"....you should hear how renovation discussions go in our house :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Try googling Expedia CruiseShipCenters International Inc, you should get a link in the U.S.A. You might be redirected to my website though. Keep on trying, you should end up on a proper link.

    Good luck!!!

    I know where Lorain is, I have a cousin that lives there! My husband is from Ashland, well, Polk, if you know where that is? I think it's funny that you put (Now a part of PNC) because I was just saying yesterday that National City keeps sending us letters about how they are "Now a part of PNC" :laugh:
