    Stay at home dad, unpublished author, IT geek, handyman - and a lot of other things all thrown in in between.
    1. joannechan
      That's cool! Working from home should be good, isn't it?
  2. Anok
    I kick puppies.

    Heh

    No, not really. I'm a full time stay at home mom, who writes and paints/sculpts freelance, and generally find some sort of part time job.
    1. joannechan
      Oh I see, you work from home too
      How many kids do you have?
    2. Anok
      Including my husband?
    3. joannechan
      Lol...
      Yes, dear!

    Breathe, eat, sleep, blink my eyes, sneeze ...
    1. joannechan
      and you will have the $ for living?
    2. Friday13
      Nope. I'm unemployed and studying.

      Enjoy your school days!

    I'm a sumi-e painter. Unlike most I paint on stoneware with oxides, as opposed to painting on mulberry paper with inks. Sumi-e is an East Asian brush painting technique that has been practiced for thousands of years in both the Chinese and Japanese traditions. Its literal translation is, "ink painting." Simplicity is the most outstanding characteristic of Sumi-e. It is an art form that strives to "distill the essence of an object in the fewest possible strokes."

    I also operate a small business from home and I do contract work (research and writing) as well.
    1. joannechan
      cool! Operate a small business from home I hope to do that too.
      Anyway, all the best to you, dear!

  9. pillownaut
    IT consulting, blogging, and I get paid to let scientists toy with me at NASA, hahaha... definitely the most unusual way I have ever made money! But totally worth it, I have made some great friends, met some truly brilliant people, and learned a lot about space science. It is what my blog is about:

      Thanks for sharing with me I guess you should have gained a lot of unique experience there.

    Proud owner of (and slave to) the Food Here Convenience Store
    1. joannechan
      That's good!
      I love food too....:P
    2. foodhere
      I actually have to be very careful when I refer to any of my merchanise as "Food" since, technically, the canned goods, pastries and snacks I sell are primarly composed of preservatives, chemicals and edible oil products. But thanks, I love it.
    3. joannechan
      Yes, I understand
      How long have you been in this business?
    4. foodhere
      A few years. I worked as a photocopier repair man for a long time. Those were dark days. Repetitive work. Every day a repeat of the prior. Eventually I convinced my brothers Raj and Clarenence to join me in starting this business. They have both left since and I remain, manning the shop alone. Sorry, probably more than you needed to know
    5. joannechan
      No worries, it's good to know others' experience too
      Since you're the only one who manages the business now, I hope you have the strenght to go on!
      Good luck and all the best for your business!!
    6. foodhere
      Thank you. As long as my health holds up. I suffer from mysterious rashes. Let's just keep our fingers crossed.

      Cool.
      You've been in modelling for long?
  12. busylizzy
    Stay at home mom. For money I help a lady who is a professional organizer but it's "on call" work, nothing that's regular.
    1. joannechan
      Another stay at home mom
      It's good that you have some extra income, although not that regular.
      Cheers!

      You're so kind to your boyfriend
      Btw, what business is your boyfriend having?
    2. calais50
      He is an IT manager, but he owns an online shoe store on the side as well.

      It seems you're doing well with all the tasks out there.
      Take good care, dear!

    I spend my days pretending college is worth it. At night I face the facts and work in the hope of avoiding homelessness post-graduation.
  35. msbaby
    I do secretarial and bookkeeping work for my husband's small record company so he won't have to hire additional help. It's nice because I can do it at home while he watches the girls. If they are having a good time and things are going well I slip over here and hang out at blogcatalog. :-)

    I used to be an early-childhood music & movement specialist and piano teacher. Now I'm a welfare recipient, disabled by discrimination (thanks Marriage IN-Equality). Ignorance and Fear actually costs America millions in tax dollars each year; happy filing April 15th.

  46. Sandypoint
    My husband and I own and operate a small vacation resort in the Northwoods of Wisconsin, called Sandy Point Resort & Disc Golf Ranch. We're only there in the summer. In the off season, he sells golf discs on ebay and I write books and design jewelry. These additional cottage-businesses make enough to pay the expenses.
    1. rfburnhertz
      I hope that is all as awesome as it sounds.

      You have the life I want, a resort in the woods and writing. I got the woods part covered... now if only I could write well. :-)

      I only saw disc golf for the first time a few years ago when a tournament was held near my home in the mountains of Colorado outside of Bailey.

      I've still not tried the game.
