I hadn't updated his resume for quite a few years, so this morning that is what I did. I think he's going to take it to all the body shops and car dealerships and see what's out there. The sad thing is that all he has ever done is auto body repair. From the time he was 16 years old...that's all he knows. Oh he is applying to the factories too, but we all know how most the factories are doing. How can you apply and have a decent resume, if you've never done anything else?

If anyone has suggestings, I'd love to hear them. May not apply to us, but maybe a suggestion will lead us in another direction.

Haley, I wouldn't worry about Christmas so much now....it's a perfect time to teach how to give things from the heart and what the real meaning of Christmas is. I know that is what we are planning to do.

Your right about that Janet,, Micah would be happy with a box this year, he loves playing with boxes, pots and pans,
Unemployment is so unfair i dont' know why you have to wait that long, i tell you what if something happens up here, i;m changing Mikes address and going on unemployement and welfare,, everyone else gets it so screw it, that is the mood im in, i been working since i was 13 years old, i'm going for everything i can get my hands on like the rest of this valley....

Haley, I disagree with your statement that "everyone else gets it", because I don't. I hope your mood changes. Relax and let's all hang in together.

i was talking about the people around my "valley" and believe me they do get it and know how to work the system, and laugh about it... i remember when i was single a lady drinking all day at a bar, she only worked part time cause she had to to get welfare, while he kids were in daycare that walfare paid for....
