hmmm sounds like a verse from Billy Joels Piano Man --When I wore a younger mans clothes

My husband loves doing that song for karaoke.

I had a job when I was first out of high school that was seasonal but from Easter to Labor day, it was basically 7 days a week 12 to 16 hours a day. I could not do that now for sure. When my kids were little and I was going through my divorce, I used to get up at 4:30 to get ready and get them to day care and then hit the train from Chesterton to Chicago...got home around 7:30 every night. That was only five days a week but it was hard to leave them so much. I was very lucky to have a good day care and a good babysitter that picked them up for me since I didn't get home until after it closed. That was expensive though. When the kids were calling her mom and me by her name, I knew I had to make a change. Had to take a pay cut but found something closer to home and it all worked out okay.

I hear ya Mom .. for a long time I bounced from state to state job to job - I got this job 20 years ago and put my all into it - may grandkids are almost grown and I missed it -- if I could take it all back -- hind sight 100%

We do what we think is best at the time. When I got the job in Chicago, I had been a stay at home mom and hadn't worked for several years. I needed a job to pay the bills and it was a GREAT job at the Shedd Aquarium. Loved that job more than anything I have done since, but it just didn't work with my kids and I was not going to move any closer to Chicago.

I knew that 6 +1 = 7 hahaha but oh no I write 6

I have two clocks on my computer, easier that way.
Sometimes it's a 6 hours difference, sometimes 5.
We dont have daily saving time at the same time so it's confusing sometimes.

I think the job I miss the most was the dairy farm - semi old style - not the modern computer hook up stuff

Hey Shadow do you know if you need a special licence to ride a motorcycle in Indiana?

Like can you drive on public roads with just a car driver's licence?

I'm not Shadow, but yes you do. You need a motorcycle endorsement on your driver's license. You can drive on a motorcycle permit for quite a while just by passing a written test. The actual motorcycle license requires a driving test too.
