... ummm Why is a B.B gun on the school bus anyway. Isn't there a Driver who should say " hold it son, you can ride but leave the gun behind ? "

I brought a bb gun to school, and though I got in trouble there was no cops involved. Things today are WAY toooooooo overboard. Sorry about the incident, sounds like crap to me. Good luck on that contest, that would be nice. I think it's hard for a lot of people mate. My wifes dad just got laid off, he's been doing his job for 27 years, and is turning 61 this sunday so he's too young to get SS and best of all, his company is giving him SH*T for compensation, no retirement or anything. 27 years for crap! So now he has no job, no health insurance (thank you lobbysts and Republican congress with some dems), and a less than adequate un-employment check. This very thing is why I want out of corporate america and scrambling for some one else.

best of luck to you. i know what it's like to be downsized as i was right after i got back from my vacation. i ended up relocating and finding another job (thank God) but it took all summer long to get one. anyways, I feel your pain, I'll send up a prayer for you.

You're in my thoughts snake... God bless

I'm right there with you bro. I just decided today that we are going to let the house go to the bank. I work at a job that I really don't care about but can't seem to find a better one, but my 2 girls are happy and healthy so I should be more grateful. Listen, you still have a lot going for you. Sure times are tough but your kids are great and that's what counts. Maybe by losing your job, you can get some retraining and do something else you want to do. It's a tough time for a lot of people right now, me being one of them, hell I don't even own my own car anymore which is a big deal for me as I'm a car freak, but this too shall pass. Go have a smoke tonight, and just be quiet and listen for the voice that tells you what to do next. I'll say another prayer for you bud

Hang in there, we're all praying for you. I know you don't need cliches right now, but when one door closes another one opens. Like Lassy says, everything happens for a reason. Sometimes we just don't realize it when we are trying to get our nuts out of our throats where someone just kicked them! You are due for something good.

that's a crock of crap, i hate it when you are down on your luck and you get a glimmer of hope, just to have that glimmer crap in your cheerios. don't be to proud to get some unemployment and some food stamps. serious. that's what that *** is for, for normal peeps that lose their jobs.

jsnake

Yeah I am gonna collect the unemployment and try to get food stamps. It is hard to swallow my pride but I would do anything for my kids. Still won't be enough to pay the bills. I guess I am getting to the point where I just should quit caring. Maybe just let it all go and screw my credit. I got divorced and finally got perfect credit like 2 years ago after paying off tons of debt and judgments exceeding $50k and I really do not want to have to go through that again. At the same time I am so tired of worrying about it all and being stressed out. IDK. I know lots of people and even some guys here have been through this. Just very hard, confusing, and emotional.

dennisking

like i said before, i went through this *** over the summer, but i was very blessed with some side work for cash and eventually i found a job, even though i had to relocate, but that worked out awesome as well. i have people renting my house from me so i could keep that as i almost lost it a year and a half ago. even if i didn't and i had to give it to the bank, oh well. my kids and wife take priority, as they do with you. i really need my credit to be good so i can get a business loan once i have the down payment saved up. but if i give it back and can't get a loan, oh well. i don't want that, but again, i only care about my family. i know you feel the same and this too shall pass and you will be back in no time. i can tell you that the memory of what i struggled through this summer is very faded but when i was going through it, i could barely breathe. it will pass though.
