Anita – It definitely helps to have someone on your side to try to help out. I don’t know what I’d do without him (and my girl) to be able to come home to.

Mark, I can try to do that for a bit while I’m working on other things.  I’m also working on trying to stay positive and upbeat.  It’s hard to do some days (today was really rough), but I’m trying. I also came home and littered our town with resumes.  If need be I’ll start trying in a city about an hour from me that has more opportunity, but I’m holding that as a last resort. (I’d have to commute and that would mean losing about 1.50/hr.)

I’m so glad I found this site. SO many good stories and I’m learning to love the forums.
