I think this is a time when we will all be called to support our friends and loved ones, in ways we never expected to before. I'm sure your daughter is so relieved that she can now focus on looking for work, because her kids have a roof over their head. I'll pray for you guys!<br /><br />Smug -- Thanks, luckily I haven't heard of too much more. Just rumors. I'm betting that the fat lady has not sung yet, and some people will still be at risk. It sucks, but it's a sign of the times, unfortunately.<br /><br />Don -- you crack me up! No, no prostitution for me. LOL And I would love to make my blog public again, but not while I have the job I currently have. I know I work for the kind of place where if I talk smack about my job, they would totally fire me. I don't even have to ask -- I know. So I could go public, if I don't talk about work at all and if I delete any old posts where I talk about work. Not really my scene, because there is a LOT of crap going on at work right now. Perhaps if I get a new job, I can make it public again.Virginia Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09139549722127680662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18879154.post-70489408020456713942010-12-09T18:05:42.228-05:002010-12-09T18:05:42.228-05:00Whew!

I was worried you'd gotten sold into prostitution when you went to Hong Kong..<br /><br />I was in a pretty dark place last year too but my queen of cups came along from out of the blogosphere and now things are much nicer.<br /><br />I think you ought to make your blog public again so more people can enjoy it like I do. I've thought that for a long time. You never know who might show up.donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13943762436600028853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18879154.post-75174838144835533262010-12-09T09:30:55.769-05:002010-12-09T09:30:55.769-05:00Glad that you are feeling brighter and posting mor...Glad that you are feeling brighter and posting more! <br /><br />Sorry about the troubles at your school - I hope that it all works out as it should!Smughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09262748591981536337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18879154.post-40060782017937513702010-12-05T11:01:17.374-05:002010-12-05T11:01:17.374-05:00You are right, hard work usually pays off.

They only kept 5 employees out of 30, and I was lucky enough to be one of them. It lasted a year. The company shut down 2 weeks after Christmas and we were ALL let go. It was awful because I was used to making $17 an hour and couldn't make it on minumum wage or unemployment benefits. I eventually found another job but being a single mother of 2, it was the roughest year financially I've ever gone through. <br /><br />My 27 year old and her 2 1/2 year old daughter are moving back in with me this month. Because of the economy, she cannot make it financially on her own anymore. Luckily I own a 4 bedroom house and they will each have their own room. <br /><br />I think more and more people will start moving back in with family in the next few years. We all need to do what is necessary to survive. <br /><br />I hope everything works out for you and your co-workers! To hear these things around Christmas has to be very frustrating!Debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08326688903509923324noreply@blogger.com
