I don't know if i responded to this thread or not.
I sold gold, diamonds and fine gems for a total of 20 yrs. . Also drove a school bus, but had to quit due to a work related injury.
Then for 5 yrs, I embroidered caskets and engraved them. The most rewarding job of my life. I loved it. It was so good to be able to help people in their time of need, and to have fun doing it too.
I'm now fully disabled and am enjoying my time off after working 2-4 jobs at a time. Lots of time for sewing, quilting and embroidering...by hand and machine.
