Hi ~ Bless your heart. We aren't in a "recession" ~ we're in a full-blown depression!! There are thousands like you with no jobs because our government saw fit to ship jobs overseas. And our government feeds people overseas, but does very little for our OWN people who are struggling. Boy this makes me angry.

Unfortunately I'm disabled ~ I'd much rather be working, but if I wasn't disabled, I'd probably be in the same boat as you. I was an optician for years, and by now they would have thought I was "too old" for that and would have found a reason to "lay me off."

Too bad we don't live next to each other - I'm in a tiny village in the boondocks ~ we could have coffee. I live alone so I know about the loneliness. Just know that I WILL be saying prayers that you find a job SOON! it surely can't hurt. Take care of yourself, and keep us posted. God bless. Hugs, Lee
