    @travisstrick‌
    Brother Strick I have a huge respect for military personnel. My Grand Father on my mothers side was a lifer. He served in the Pacific Theater during WWII and later in the Korean War. Would have toured Vietnam as well but injuries prevented it. He was buried with honors and given a 7 gun salute. Forgive me for rambling and reminiscing. If you ever find yourself just this side of Biloxi, MS. give me a shout brother Struck and I will treat you to some farm raised Ribeyes and oysters for you service to country my friend.

    Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.

    Optician - fit and sell opthalmic and Rx sunglasses. We do some in house edging, but now with insurance companies having their own labs, my work load on the bench has been cut in half. Most of the time I'm surfing this place and wishing I was at home egging.

    @Smokinpig The company I work for has some openings if you are interested. I can PM you the website where you can check it out. Having a financial background is a major plus. Maybe it will help, who know.

    I'm kind of gun shy about telling what I do.........we have a t-shirt business.  Sorry if that offends anyone.  It's actually just part of our repertoire, the parental units of SWMBO started the business and now we have a truck stop/c-store/restaurant (24/7/364), a pharmacy, a motel, and a quilt shop that also houses the t-shirt/banner business.

    Hey @Skiddymarker,

    I hired on in the mid 90's with GTE Customer Networks...then stayed on through the Verizon merger and stayed until 2012. Started as a voice and data field tech then moved into management in the late 90's. Operations Manager. When you say BC do you mean Brittish Columbia or else where?
