Rosie Rios:  

HI! Since High School, I got married and had two children, one boy and one girl. Served in the military, had another child, got a degree, worked for great corporations. Got married (second time), bought a house in Las Vegas where I currently reside. I served in the Air Force Reserve for 6 years, traveled to several places world-wide. I worked for GTE in Long Beach for 7 years. I went to Coleman University and earned a BS degree in Computer Electronics Technology and an MS in Information Science. I gave birth to a third child, a girl (who is now 25 yrs old and is out of the Army BUT she is a contracter in Afghanistan). She's in Intelligence gathering. I worked for SAIC in San Diego for 7 years as a Product Support Specialist. They sent me to Greece for system installation and to several of the Air Force Bases in the United States. I had this crazy idea that I could have a Day Spa business, so my eldest daughter and I went to Je Boutique in El Cajon to be estheticians AND manicurists. We are registered by the State Board of California. So, I quit my job and worked on my business. Apparently, Lakeside females THINK to get a great facial, micro-dermabrasion or body wrap, they must spend LOTS of money... we were charging 30 percent less to attract customers; after all, Lakeside and El Cajon were our "home girls." So, after that fiasco, I worked in the San Diego County Jail for a year as a Booking Clerk. We decided to buy a home in Las Vegas because the prices were great! (2004); but, they kept going up and up in price, so we waited and waited and waited. In the meantime, I brought my mother to live with us. I took care of her until she passed away. She was 83 years old. So, then we brought my mother-in-law to stay with us and I took care of her until she passed away, December 24, 2008. She was 94 years old. My eldest daughter married a nice good ole country boy from Tennessee. They've been married for twelve years and just barely had their first child two years ago!!! He's in Iraq now. She had her second child in August 2008. She's only 4"10 and he's 6'4". He makes BIG babies. So, here I am again taking care of my daughter and my 4-yr. old and 6 yr. old granddaughter (like I'm complaining.... NOT!!!) We love them so very much. So, in the meantime, I've been taking classes at College of Southern Nevada to keep up my skills in computers and Electronics. I will need to go back into the work force soon. I am thinking Slot Machine Technician. Heaven knows there's plenty of casinos out here! But, then again, the job market is so hot, so I might just have to write a book or something. I make great cookies and great pies. I cook excellent Mexican food AND Hillbilly food. I have a good recipe for possum stew on my MySpace website! No sh*t. But, where can I get on opossum here in the desert in Las Vegas?! So, I guess I'll wait to cook that. ;-) UPDATE: We've lived here in Las Vegas since 2004. It is now 2012. I am now a part-time professor at the College of Southern Nevada... as well as a student. Well?! I can't help it I love computer electronics technology! I have to keep up with the new and emerging technology! Hahahaha.... STORY WIZZARD: Answers to "Story Wizzard" I hope people remember me as being a nice girl and friendly. There was one time when I was taunted and taunted into picking a fight with one of my friends. I didn't want to do it and I wouldn't do it, but I finally gave in. I wasn't very good at it, but she got the point. I felt so bad afterwards. I cried that night. She REALLY was a good and nice friend. I never did hang out with those girls who asked me to starat a fight with her after that. I always wanted to be a Vegas Dance Girl when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a stupid idea. As it turns out, they were right! I like to go next door where my grand-babies are. We play and have fun when I need to blow of steam. If I'm going to work somewhere, I need to have gas in the car , a kiss from my husband, and prayer to God to be able to deal with the day-to-day. I used to think Tarzan and Spiderman were my heros. They help people and fight for their rights. But, then, after time went by, I realized that my mom and my dad are my true heros. They taught me everything that I am today; a good, honest, intelligent, hard-working citizen and with love for God and family and family values. As far as sports go, I used to watch baseball, football, fishing and the olympics. I do have a passion for rollerskating. My family enjoyed rollerskating all through my childhood years, (except while I was in Arkansas). I built up great legs from that! I don't really watch the reality shows. I have enough to concentrate on in my own life ...Expand for more
