You know how you feel when you're driving along and you see a cop car in the rear view mirror?  That's how I feel when I see a dentist!!  :)

When you are driving, do you often see your dentist following you?
Just wondering.

How do we know you are not a Russian data collector? Or maybe you work for Facebook?

Chortle...chortle...guffaw

Great thread...love learning about others' adventures.

1st job @ 14--detassling seed corn for MFA in 1969...pulled the tassels for six rows/left two rows w/ tassels & repeated for what seemed like miles (I was 5'1 3/4" back then...now back down to 5'...& had to practically bend the stalk in half to reach the top).  They paid $2.35/hr--Mother thought we grossly overpaid since she'd only been paid $.25/hr during/post WW II, plus hauled us to the fields in cattle trucks (certainly couldn't get away with that today).

Post-grad school: taught school/4-H Specialist/community mental health therapist/farm wife/mom

Last real job: psychologist for the Missouri Dept. of Corrections for 16 years 'til a privatization of services in 2005 led to the layoff of all state staff.  I cobbled together some part-time gigs teaching GED & eldercare, & since my sister & I settled our parents' estates in 2011 I whack & spray brush, and have some rental properties, but I'd still be in prison if I could, c'est la vie...I'm very blest.

Rik, we were cruisin' the Western Pacific close to the same time. I did two on the USS Cleveland in '76 and '78.  Small world.
Did another on the Samuel Gompers in '88.  Got my Shellback on that one!  :) 

For those who don't know what that is, it's a lot of fun. Sailors will be sailors. Heck, even FDR got into the act!

I never got mine. We were supposed to go to Singapore for R&R, and dip south a little to cross the line, but instead got ordered to steam at flank speed to the Sea of Japan to respond to the downing by a North Korean MIG of an unarmed navy EC-121 (tri-tail Lockheed Constellation) reconnaissance plane, killing 31 crew members. A lot of furious steaming, but no action taken. No retaliation ever followed. Sad time in our history.

Sidenote:  my first airplane flight was on a Connie, ca 1953. Back then they handed out a plastic wings pin to every child. Kept mine for a long time. I’ve always thought the Connie was the most beautiful plane ever built. 

There’s a beautiful Connie on display at the Museum of Flight just south of Seattle. We’ve been to air museums all over the country (including D.C.), and I think the MOF is the best. We visited it after viewing the Boeing plant, and blogged about it here:
