Thanks Marilyn, its out of my hands, nothing that i can control, so i'm not getting upset about it. just going to enjoy my time off with Micah.. and that's it.. I already started looking for another job, but like i said there's not to many good paying jobs around here. Alot of places are closing, so when i do get an interview, i'm going to be against alot of people for that one job.. it's going to be a hard long road to travel. But something will come up.. My boss thinks they we as a company will close June 1st. so i have some time here.. I really don't think scrap prices will go up in a month. or the economy will get better, so i'm just venting and preparing myself for the hit...

I am sorry to hear about your job.. The economy is really hurting everyone in some way right now. Thankgoodness your hubby's job is still going strong. I think we are all worried and crossing our fingers that our jobs are safe. Enjoy your time with the little one while you can. As for the unemployment... I can't blame you you earned it so take advantage of it while you can. Hopefully you will be able to find a new job in no time!

I had no idea you lived in Pa. I am in Va so not too far away.

Thanks Michelle, when it comes down to it i rather lose my job, than Mike lose his job...
You are close to me, how is it around your area? I bet the Steel Mills if you have any are all closed, and most of our car dealership and small businesses are closing? My hometown is starting to look like a ghost town now

I know that the steel mills in West Virginia are starting to close up. I am not sure if we have any in my area.

Yeah I know. It really bites that almost everything comes form them. At least now when we grocery shop we have the option of buying the few USA made products on the shelf thanks to the new labels.

it's very sad, but it cheaper labor, and cheaper products, that's why were getting items with lead posionings etc. But as long as the American people keeping buying it they will keep shipping the tainted items over to us.
I try to buy USA products but very few out there anymore.. I can't even find toddler clothes that are made in the USA, toys etc. everything from China, even toddler dishes, cups, you name it...
