Oh well... at least I have benefits with my job and he is eligible for unemployment.

We'll be fine. Really.

1. What state are you in?
Is our "mini-recession" spreading out from
Michigan?

2. PA. State of perpetual recession!
The job market is always a challenge here. My DIL is losing her job too... her company is moving to CA. They can't afford to live there, so she is looking for something, too.

SUX

5. Rust Belt anxiety.
Now we know how the textile workers of the
south felt 40 years ago....

SUCKS.

4. Thank you, Mezzo.
At least it's a good time of year to be laid off. Lots of yard work to do!

6. So sorry
As I posted just a minute ago. We are on our second month on Unemployment Comp. Husband was let go out of the blue. I hope you get on your feet soon, but in the meantime, get to work on that "honey-do" list.
