what about home safety and security evaluations? check out peoples homes on what they could improve on? or even being a rep for a home secuty system biz? i'm in the same boat. with grandmonkey and my back, a conventional job doesn't work. trying to do what all idid before for the club at home..doesn't work with a 5 yr old either. my stress level hs been toohigh and i;m on dialup to do ebay right now. that or other online selling does interst me very much. i would love to have a little store. sell my crafts and other peoples. i was telling hubby just today, that if i could figure out a way to put one in the club, i would.

You would be a great patient advocate......taking elderly people to their doctors appointments and explaining the meds/changes in treatment to family members.
You should have your MD by default by now |

Hi DiMarie,
Whether you work at home or start running a small business, you must have a good computer (I mean fast processing, responding etc...) and ergonomic accessories. And yes, they cost. But once the ball starts rolling, you can earn more than what you would spend for the PC and other stuff. Nobody knows what skills you have will help bring food on the table and pay the bills. As for me, being TOS has actually led me to work as a medical translator. While struggling with collecting information on TOS, I somehow built up medical knowledge and developed the effective ways of net search. Especially, this forum taught (has taught) me a lot of med. terms and human anatomy. I really appreciate every single one of you here Well, enough about me. I think the security consultant sounds good as you and others said. Need more brainstorming, though. Gotta go to bed. Yasuko |

I was surprised to find quite a few possibles on Craigslist for my area -
under the [etc] and [part time] http://scranton.craigslist.org/searc...Four=part-time seems like many are from small business needing just a bit of help- would be a way to test the waters to see what might fit or get more ideas from. I think the security consultant thing would be awesome for you- your core target group could be small businesses, single women & moms. They might be more comfortable dealing with a woman esp a former police chief. I bet a perfect niche for you!

do have a brand new supped up computer and lap top. With my social security ticket to work I receieved the lap top and software and great printer. Thanks all for the info and thoughts. Brain storming helps a lot. LOL, Jo there were a few real intersting jobs listed. The one for court investagator, our county is not one participating, the other counties a re too far to travel. There was one for legal assisting. I wonder if I can advertise to attorneys to review cases to "discover" the smoking gun and shoot down the defendants point of few??? Oh, there was Servers at Adult entertainment and Surroget too, LOL. I think I am too old and too droopy. I think the idea of security consultant is good....wonder about fees, I was more into investagating shoplifters when I did security, not to the implemantation of technology. BUT I could learn that. I do excellant work preparing resumes too, so that my be something to help with a few dollars and get my feet wet. Our grant at work was cut in half, and the program may not receive any funding next year, and I want to also prepare for my son to do some kind of work too. I like the idea of providing home security and making all ages and families safe too. Personal safety, travel, and homes.... Maybe the son can work on a business plan and see how he feels. Any other thoughts, keep them coming. Thanks Di

di...an the home safety and securty theme...what about adding...especially for the senior market or disabled..making your home accident safe? more accesable?
with the senoir population booming and many moving in with other family members...might be nitch. oh..and on a personal note on how familiescould use this. grandmonkey who is *gasp* 13 now, went to a friends house last week. SHE had to tell her friend that people can see into her (friends) bedroom at nght and that she should not be dressing and undressing in there...cuz her curtains are sheer.

gosh - you'd think her parents would have thought of that possibility!
Peepers! excellent idea on the senior population too. Many elderly widows are too trusting or just easy targets for crime. a small courses or home visits?? for personal safety and how to be aware and protect them self would be a good thing.

LOL...jo..here is a good one about a grown man...my hubby. when we were dating he had an apartment on the 3rd floor. he never closed his blinds. he figured people couldn't see him so far up.
i was a bit early one night and boy did i get a show. LOL. i called him from my cell phone sitting in my car. he could see me plane as day. duh..i said...if you can see me...i can see YOU! then he turned his blinds...the wrong way and i could still see him LOL. he is not mr common sense. i really like the course idea. might be something partment complexes would want to offer.
