Y'all are making me sound light! With the exception of Lonestar of course. I was a personal trainer for a while and began selling fitness equipment, things were great till the market crashed. It took me the next two years to make what I did the year before the crash and I had to work twice as hard to make that. Kept it up for a while and then our son decided he wanted to be born. Decided it would be better for me to stay home with him than shuffle off to daycare and sitters all the time. I miss the income but in this economy I would probably end up paying more out for child care. So I get to raise my son, home school my daughter and be a taxi for my other daughter. I'm the stay at home dad with the NRA sticker on the car who gets to hang with all the soccer moms and play with the kids all day! Figure I can get away with it for a couple more years then get back to work doing something. Maybe Lonestar will need to retire by then and I can buy his shift at Penthouse!

Wow RKP...your work history was sounding so great, that for a second there I thought you were going to say that on weekends you oil-up the Sports Illustrated swim suit models between photo shoots.
