Hi ~ It's really unfair that a man your age, with loads of life experience, cannot find a job. Instead, they hire teenagers who will jump from job to job and half the time not show up at all.

Are you handy with tools? Can you make repairs around the house, i.e. plumbing, wiring? Do you do any woodworking? Can you build yard ornaments that you see in people's yards, i.e. windmills, etc.? Just trying to think what you might do to earn some $$$. Caring for people's lawn can earn you quite a bit of money these days -- with the cost of gas & labor, it's pretty profitable, at least around here in Michigan!!! I have close to an acre of yard, and JUST mowing & weed-whacking costs me $75.00. Of course, he has a rider-mower.

Please don't be thinking in terms of suicide -- remember that it's a Permanent solution to a Temporary problem. And you have NO idea of the trauma it causes the people left behind. It causes guilt, questions, interminable grief. Nothing is that bad ~ you're a vital, important person. Something WILL come up. God bless and prayers coming your way. Hugs, Lee
