I'm a pastor.
Does this automatically get me kicked off? Just kidding... But seriously?
I didn't read through all 57 pages of everyone's life so I am hoping I'm not the only pastor on this forum.
I'm a pastor too. Bivocational.... I'm a chiropractor as well.. own my own practice. Starting a new faith community in Philadelphia.
Married with four children. We love hosting dinner parties, listening to people's stories and just being good neighbors.
I'm into Scotch, cigars and craft beer. So if being a chiropractor isn't odd, being a cigar-smoking, scotch-drinking pastor may throw you for a loop. ;)

I'm a Presbyterian minister and Bivocational as well. I work as a nurse in a level 2 trauma center. I'm a certified orthopedic nurse and work primarily with trauma patients who have orthopedic injuries. I'm married with four kids and my wife is a school principal. I love great ports and spend a lot of time outdoors here in Florida. I'm also in the middle of a nurse practitioner program. Needless to say cigars are my relaxation and mental health fix.

I grew up Seventh Day Adventist(no alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, pork, shellfish, etc etc etc...a lot of etc LOL), so yeah...a pastor that likes scotch, cigars, and beer definitely throws me for a loop!

I'm 24 married and just graduated college! Wife and I decided to take a chance and move to the Caribbean right after school. We work for a watersports company in St. Thomas. I have my certification for sailing crew in a few weeks and will hopefully be working day sails as crew by the end of August!

For fun, as long as I'm outside I'm happy! Smoke cigars as much as I can (the wife isn't a huge fan) and hit the beach a lot.

I guess I'm doing this right. This is my first post.

So I'm 42 and am a woodworker/artist and do carpentry and handyman work to make most of my money. I am married to an awesome woman and we have a child on the way. I have two other kids boy 19 and girl 13. I love art, cycling, cooking and surfing. The surfing doesn't happen much anymore now that I live back in Cincinnati. I have lived all over the lower 48 and a while in Hawaii, but Cincinnati is home. I love to travel when I can to see friends and new places.

I started smoking cigars after almost 30 years of cigarettes which I never enjoyed. Cigars on the other hand have become pure enjoyment in my life. I would always go to my local tobacconist to get cigars and smell the bulk pipe tobacco and being a woodworker told myself if I can carve my own pipe successfully I will try smoking a pipe also. Needless to say I now smoke and carve pipes on a regular basis. I have become enveloped by everything tobacco (NCP) and would really like to find my way into the industry.

Glad to find this forum and am excited to learn more about how it all works and meet fellow botl!

Welcome brother! Would love to see some of your pipes. I love pipes and have been contemplating trying my hand at making something but it requires more tools and time than I have at the moment.

Yea I don't have the right type of Chuck for my lathe so I end up sawing and carving by hand and doing the mortise, draught hole and bowl with a hand drill. But I have gotten pretty good at it. I originally watched a video of tsuge drilling out one of his pipes by hand and it gave me the idea. I'm gonna try to p IMG_20150714_223906.jpg IMG_20150801_150852.jpg ost a couple pics but am not sure if I'm gonna do it right so bear with me.

I work at a grocery store while I try to get a tech job. My dream job is to be a Linux sys admin. I currently live with my parents while I take my certification exams to help land said IT job. I went to college, got a zoology degree, lost the passion, now I'm picking a new road in life.

I'm 59, married 27 years, two kids now age 22 (today, as a matter of fact) and 26. I have not read all the pages here, but went far enough back to see there is at least one other martial artist here, Doug, @knw247 This is from about 6 years ago, I would guess where my daughter had just won the adult female black belt division (1st-3rd dans) at a regional tournament of the World Tang Soo Do Association. I'm out of practice since I started working in Chicago.



I am a product specialist for a Chicago-area money manager, selling to intermediaries (broker/dealers, registered investment advisory firms, bank wealth management groups). Family lives in Philly area, I have a small apartment in Chicago and go back/forth a bit.

Hobbies include lots of stuff I really don't have the time or opportunity to do, so most of it except reading and cooking don't get done. But I do enjoy snow skiing, scuba diving, photography, gourmet cooking, hosting poker games, traveling, and shooting and reloading.

I am 24, married with one son age 2, and a daughter to be born any day now. I am active duty in the Marine Corps. Besides smoking cigars I enjoy drinking IPAs and gaming(PC). I have been playing ARK, Team Fortress 2, CS:Go, and Hearthstone. Overwatch will probably be the next game that dominates much of my free time.

I was a Unix Sys Admin with my previous employer. Have my RHCE on RHEL6, although I haven't been in that position for 4 years now. RHCE is far and away the most recognized certification in this field, definitely go for it if this is truly what you want to do for a career.
