Dwight Snyder:  

Life Married in 11-71. Three children (1 boy folowed by 2 girls). Divorced in 6-84. 6 grandchildren (each child has 1 boy followed by 1 girl). Weird, huh. Now 7 (another girl from middle child - matches my 1 boy followed by 2 girls - weirder still). Various Sales jobs until 1980. It was time to find myself. Went back to college in 9-80 - Ohio State - BSBA with majors in both Accounting & Computer Information Science in 6-83 (Dean's List and all that rot). Compiled and edited Tax Solutions Manual used by the Accounting Department at Ohio State in 1984 for their Tax Classes. Became involved in self-awareness classes in 1979, then started leading them. Finally started to begin feeling "whole" in 1990. In 2008 "grace" embraced me...unbelievable, and it persists! Spent five years at Nationwide Insurance (1-85 thru 12-89) being one of the lead people in the total scrapping and rewriting of their auto-insurance-processing system, making it customer-based so it could communicate with the other products Nationwide handled. Left when the project was completed. I found I was always answering people's unvoiced questions, mainly because someone told me I was doing it. I guess I was always too busy to notice...and I guess that was why I was so successful as a salesman (knew what the customer wanted before they asked). It also made me very successful at Nationwide as a Lead Programmer/Analyst in their Research & Development Area, and why I ended up helping everyone else (even the training department) in their debugging efforts. In 1991 I began work as a "telephone psychic". You know those 800 & 900 numbers for "call-a-psychic" that were so popular in the late 80's and on thru the 90's? Well they were almost always (95% of the time) routed to a call center in Columbus, OH (Universal Matrix). Others insisted I was clarvoyant so I wondered if it would work if I wasn't face-to-face with the inquirer. Surprised me when it did work. After 3 months I became a supervisor, the first "psychic" one they had. So, know, I was the counselor to the counselors, and got all the "difficult" calls transferred to me along with playing supervisor. Within a month some 50 "psychics" had asked (and had been - including the most trouble-makers) to be transferred to my shift (11pm-7am). They never gave me any trouble. I became too popular, I guess, and the owner felt threatened, it seemed, because after 6 months (4 months of being a supervisor) I found a "pink-slip" in my mailbox at work. Then about a year later, after business had gone sour for that owner and he sold out, I got a call begging me to come back. So, I did....for awhile, anyway. I was known as Knight Light. It was fun talking to people from all over the world (including famous folk) and helping them out. Knowing things you were not supposed to know and had no way of knowing was finally useable and could be talked about. Oh, the stories I can tell !! Bought a Condo in Muirfield Village (Dublin, OH) nestled between 2 golf courses (Jack's Muirfield Tournament Course & The Muirfield Country Club Course) in November 2003. Do taxes during Tax Season, help the Physically & Mentally impaired all year round. Do Consulting in both the Business & Personal world for all areas therein & thereof. Still looking for a lady to share life with. Jan 1, 2013: Last February survived, by the skin of my teeth, a dead and gangrenous gallbladder...didn't even know (I have a high tolerance for pain). Over $31,000 just for 1 1/2 days in the hospital (no insurance, just the hospital bill). Thank goodness the emergency room was empty or I would have left (hate waiting). Wouldn't tell me if I was dead or just comatose after the surgery, but it took them an extra 2 hours just to get me to reawaken after the surgery. I was not too happy about being disturbed from where I was prior to "coming back" to the bed they had me on. I was having such a beautiful experience until that stupid insect started buzzing in my ear (the buzzing kept growing increasing louder until I couldn't ignore it any longer), Upon opening my eyes I told everyone to quit yelling, and that, yes, I knew where I was. Guess what they made me do next...they put 3 pillows on my stomach and 3 people laid themselves upon the pillows, and then they asked me to cough for them. When I did I immediately understood why the pillows and extra weight pushing down - and thy told me to cough 2 more times!! By then I was completely awake and...Expand for more
