@tsmt, that's when you pull up in your solid car and threads with no cashflow problems - if they think that, that's their own problem...

Sounds to me like you want a "Cool" anwser for when the ladies Inevitably ask you the Quetion: "So What do you Do?",,If thats the Case tell them you are an: E-Commerce impresario,,,,If you want an Anwser to Fill out Various Legal forms Like Tax Returns, "Self Employed" is Fine

Can you imagine what some of the looks I would get if I put
Yard Sale Queen on a magnetic sign on the side of the van.

Tell them you deal in wholesale/retail goods through worldwide distributors and head the regional Shipping/Receiving divisions of the US Headquarters. They will just leave you alone since its too complicated anyway.
lol..
Kind of like those wedding announcement enhancements that the newspaper uses when talking about a bride and groom's jobs.
I saw one recently that said " Communications and visual Sales/Consulting expert for the walmart company USA."
COME ON...... That is a helper in the DVD area of electronics. I saw him there a few days later. Probably a part time temporary help position.
lol..

I tell people on my travels i'm a Freelancer. When in Ukraine I tell girls I'm a "biznisman", as they are unlikely to understand anything else.
When I tried to elaborate with one girl she said "So ze money comes out of ze computer?"
