Re: The sad truth for us all
Sorry Lori but right now something is better than nothing!
The Gov. isnt going to help. It sucks but everyone needs to see that!
This isnt the same place we grew up anymore. I used to be a proud American.This country sold us out and now has left us holding the bag.
Inside Job Documentary check it out its about the bank crash

Re: The sad truth for us all
Hey The end,I agree,something is better than nothing........but it just seems so far away,ya know??
And I also agree,this is not the America that we grew up in,or that our kids grew up in,you know,we grew up (and ttaught our kids) work hard,be honest,and get a good education (although none of our kids went to college) they all have a very good work ethic....and were working before they were out of high school.......now we're all just trying to stay afloat........you're right,we were left holding the bag ,and that's REALLY sad & wrong Lori

My eyesight is pretty bad (esp. night blindness) or I'd go for a cdl. Hopefully your guy's truck driving gig will bring in some reasonable $$ to your household Lori. Sorry he has to be so far away from his family to make a living. Have heard of husband-wife teams of truckers. One drives while the other sleeps.....they fix up their cab like a mini-home & basically live on the road & sock away money for their retirement.

Nope,my night blindness keeps me home at nights!!! Besides,we own this place,I take of the gardens,greenhouse,chickens,and babysit the grandkids when their Moms find work (one down one more to go).Then I pick huckleberries in July & Aug for somee extra cash on days I'm not babysitting (and you know what?? I would still pick huckleberries for sale even if my husband was making $100,00 a year.......because I love doing it....there's nothing like being out on the side of a mountian enjoying the day......) between that & my gardens,I'm goood!
