>Hah! I wish! We haven't been to France in a few years now. In fact, we haven't really taken any vacations in a few years. That tends to happen when you don't have any income coming in. <g> We just got back from a big family reunion in CT. Hectic, but fun. But, not a vacation. <g>

I can relate to that. Before I got this six month contract to hire job in St. Louis I spent months in a cold sweat about losing everything. Really. All I wanted was to sleep and forget about it and couldn't even do that. That you and Gary, who do not have my personal issues, have been going through the same thing shows just how bad this economy is. It's like the Depression. People are glad just to have a job, no matter what it is. I heard yesterday from someone who is extremely intelligent and just took a job for $12 an hour doing scut work. And was happy to have found it.

Keep the faith, Bonita. I know it's going to work out for you.
