I understand.

These economic times are something that maybe only our grandparents could relate to. We haven't seen times like these. We've heard about them and didn't heed the lessons learned. Not only in our private lives but our government as well.

I'm glad that it's not an illness or a loss of a family member though. Remember it's just money. I know that you need it to pay the bills and to get ahead.

Things will get better.

I know, it could be worse but it just wears you down, little by little over time....It's been over a year since this began and could be ANOTHER year before things improve...but

Thanks for the positive thoughts DMV!

Illegitimi non carborundum

Prays for you and all those struggling with our current economy. The bad times will pass.

Advice from my Grandfather:

Life's not about whether, or not, you get knocked down (because that is going to happen), it's about getting up and what you do after that.

Live your life right. Do the right thing whether it's easy, or hard, whether people are looking, are not. You do that because when life does knock you down, you can get right up, rather than lie there and wallow in self-pity about what you should have done.

It's the best advice I ever received.

^ Good stuff right there

Weird...Send out 3 resumes and get a call for an interview. Unfortunately, salary is very close to what I'm already making. A little more but not worth the change.

Hang in there fgm. Things will come around for you.

I have faith that it will...

Thanks, Diddler!

Anytime big guy.
