What don’t we have – a query, or a game, maybe?

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

What I really like about this board is the wide variety of experience and conditions that are represented here. For jobs, we have enough programmers to start a consulting firm, plus stay–at–home moms, engineers, nurses, editors, authors, scientists, lawyers, students, people out of work, and at least one stock–broker, social worker, professional killer (of insects), architect, airplane pilot, etc.

We also have people with depression, schizophrenia, bi–polar disorder, attention deficit disorder, chronic fatigue syndrome, hepatitis C, and deaf people. (And one person with his arm in a cast :smiley: )

And we are well represented in English speaking countries

So, the challenge is – what don’t we have? The idea is to come up with a job, a location, or a health problem (or anything other condition that people might share) that no one on the board can claim.

And if you can (honestly) state that you represent what someone has thought to be unrepresented, you get double thread points. You don’t have to prove your statement, but a little insight into your life would be nice.

For my part, I don’t think we have any politicians or CEO’s, and I wonder if there are any blind people, or paralyzed people on the board.

Interesting, do we have any posters from countries currently involved in a civil war (EX: Sierra Leone)?

3

I dunno about people currently in jail, but:

TN*Hippie ws in jail a time ago (a year or so ago, maybe?)
casdave works as a prison guard, IIRC.

I bet we don’t have any “daytime drama” people here.

Ok, how about someone in the funeral business?

12

Have we got any brain surgeons or rocket scientists?

13

Doesn’t Qadagop work as a prison doctor or something?

There is at least one paralyzed person in the Doper Afflictions thread, and others who have posted their stories in other threads.

And I can’t find the thread, but I seem to recall people in the funeral business posting to the thread about the crematorium that stopped cremating people and just buried them or dumped them in a lake.

15

Job: Any other Bio-medical Equipment Technicians?
Location: Anyone else live on Whidbey Island?
Health: Anyone else ever have Bullous myringitis? How about Coccidioidomycosis?

Of course, the problem is to come up with unique attributes that are interesting :slight_smile:

16

Has anybody lived in Fiji? Or Ethiopia? (Those are a couple of people from work.)

How about people in pro sports?

Belly dancers? :smack: :wink:

Former beauty pagaent contestants/winners?
People who have solo sailed a long distance?

Movie projectionist?
Overweight, middle aged, incredibly sexy women who’d like a date with her male couterpart? Oh, wait, that would be me. Never mind.

Silly boy! At least I didn’t deliberately post to use the smacky. :rolleyes:

FBI agents? CIA, NSA?
Anyone have a job with the US government that’s so secret they can’t tell us what it is?
