Apparently not, unlike yourself, who seem to
have had a career in virtually every trade.


Well, I've had several carreers - with several sub carreers within
those.

Jack of all, master of none?


You belong to an elite group of multicraft people who are not helpless when it comes to the different trades and technology. You are the type person who would survive when the excreta impacts the propeller. Perhaps all that's needed is some medical training? ^_^

Wife spent little over 30 years as a RN and anesthetist. She started
her own business which is still going on strong. At the peak, had 4
stores, down to one now in our old neighborhood.


Your wife seems to be a wonderful gal but listening to her could put you to sleep. ^_^

[8~{} Uncle Sleepy Monster

One thing she was exceptional in taking care of terminally sick(even
AIDS patient) She was not afraid of dying person. Fellow nurses always
asked her help to look after patient on dead bed. She did not mind at
all. Actor George Peppard's uncle died holding her hands in her shift.
George used to call every morning to check his uncle's condition.
When his uncle died, George sent an autographed picture of him with
some gift card to my wife. She took care of our church elderly retired
priest too when he died where she worked. Now she is extra kind to older
folks visiting our store for advices and things they need(supplements) I
am proud and awe her in a way. Now daughter is carrying on in her steps.
She went to Tanzania in the summer second time
to train maternity nurses and doctors there. When the project ends, she
will find some place else where she may be needed. When home she works
at clinic in Canmore(one of richest retirement community in Canada)
looking after elderly retirees and delivering babies, doing C-section
operations when needed at hospital there.


Tony, she's not just a wonderful gal, she is an exceptionally fantastic woman and you're lucky to be married to her. The folks I've met in the home hospice care field were wonderful people too. ^_^

Oh yea, you did realize the sleepy thing was an anesthetist joke. I've a little sister who's a nurse and did some of the same things in her career as your wife. I don't know what she's doing now but she turned 60 last January.. ^_^
