Fingers/toes crossed and prayers being sent for h to find work soon! I'm sorry that you are going through this now!

I will be praying too that your h gets a job. I just lost mine after working there 25 years. It is not good.

Thank you! :)

I'm sorry to hear that you lost your job. Good grief, you think that after 25 years they would do what they could to keep you on. I hope you find something soon.

Well, summer seems to not want to come and visit up north this year. Personally, I love the cooler weather but the plants and flowers aren't too happy.

I was sitting outside today with my laptop just enjoying the sunshine and breeze. There was an obnoxious squirrel yelling at the dogs and I though - it got rather annoying.:rolleyes:

My oldest boy turns 24 tomorrow. Wow! I was 24 when I got married. Talk about a weird feeling. He is planning on getting married next April so he will be 24 at his wedding, too. :)

I sent some homemade cookies to my son in FL this week. He was so happy to get them. He called me as he was snarfing them down. I sure do miss that guy.

Thank you Omega-I am very bitter about the whole situation. I am going to change careers. At 56 it is going to be a challenge.

Wow, it's been a long while since talking to you all. I really love the concept of the clinic I am working for now...it caters to the uninsured, those of us that are less fortunate...they depend largely on grants to be able to offer medical, dental and even mental health care to people that need it the most. I work the front office, reception/scheduling/registration and answering the never ending phone calls. It is a very active, busy little clinic...people literally drive for hours to get the kind of help we have to offer. We are located in a very small, rural community and with rising unemployment, the need just seems to have exploded...so many people that have always had insurance from their employers, find themselves without. These people are truly amazing, they work very hard, they really do care. That, in itself is what makes me love being even a very small part of something so wonderful and very much in demand. If I am able to learn all I can, so I can finally feel needed again...this job is just what the doctor ordered!!!
Medicine should not be all about the almighty buck...medicine should be about caring and healing. It just gives me a warm fuzzy feeling to know that there are still people out there willing to give their all for those who can't help the predicament they happen to be in...I've been there, I know what it's like to be without. Now I can help others, the way I wished others could have helped me.
Sorry this is such a long post. I do hope everyone else is doing well...finally I am at peace with the medical field and I just feel so darn proud of it.

Congratulations, Kathy. So glad that you found a new vocation, able to go home at night and feel accomplishment. Warmly, Deborah

Thanks so much Deborah...your blessings mean alot to me. How have you been? Are you all moved and settled in?

Kathy-I am so glad you found a job you really like. That gives me hope.

Hey there and thanks. Don't ever give up hope...there is a place for you out there...and I just know you'll find it soon! Good luck...
