355- "NOW YOU KNOW" DISCOVERIES #3...THOSE EARLY RESUME JOBS!....

Enough of us have earned $$ throughout the years....
a- As a munchkin, sold packages of seeds around the neighborhood!
b- Also sold small "Lucky Clover" salve tins....
c- Cleaned out my great-Uncle Sam's (real name) chicken house!
d- Picked veggies in his garden!
e- Picked fruit, for two elderly ladies, in exchange for local history stuff!
f- Took care of a piano teacher's flower garden after practicing!
g- Delivered newspapers via 'Shank's Mare'...on foot!...NEVER again!
h- Dug, one summer, natural gasline ditches looking for leaks...now know that many of America's towns are ripe for blowing up! This town had a stacked list of gas leaks underground. Digging, once, I hit a leak that spewed up through the ground...was terrified! Forman simply stuck some mud in small pinhole..."We'll send a backhoe over this week!" Discovered that natural has no detectable smell, with a "smell" added to pipes for us to notice!
i- Carved little wooden cross necklaces while at summer camp!
k- Worked one summer at a burger place!
l- One summer as a pool lifeguard!...great!
m- Supermarket, learning most jobs there...bagged groceries...produce dept. (learned so much there)...and as a cashier! Would go in very early to help unload trucks...muscles.
n- Educator!
o- Local art shows....original photographs...fun and successful!
p- Also, same art shows, with hundreds of created artworks..."BlueButtercups(tm)"...

All of these added to my life's WEALTH of EXPERIENCES...........
