Thank you Karen. I wish the same for you and yours. I always hate the thought of having to do one, but afterward I am happy it is over, especially if everything is as it should be. I am looking forward to the New Year and as everyone else is, hoping things get better for those who are still unemployed and having a hard time finding new jobs. My Son-in-Law was laid off last March and worked for a manufacturing company who made containers for products. He has sent out over a hundred resumes and goes to the Work Force Office three times a week, but no one is hiring for manufacturing. He has a Truckers License, but a huge trucking company here in Texas just folded and their drivers on the road were left away from home and had their trucks taken from them a couple days before Christmas. God works in strange ways, his only sister living here in the USA passed away last June and left him a nice amount of money so he feels some of the pressure off of him, but he is not one to sit around and just wants to get back to some kind of work whatever it may be. His wife went back to work January a year ago, so they do have an income coming in and their lifestyle is not critical yet. They are trying not to go into their emergency savings money as he had a heart attack two years ago and feel that should stay secure for health reasons. We are expecting another really cold front this week and I am dreading it. This has been the coldest weather we have had in at least five years and everyone is grumbling over it. Don't see any Global Warming around here right now and if I did, I would welcome it.
