I don't deserve all those kind words. Thank you from my heart. I'm sorry you are having a tough time.

One thing I haven't brought into it is how many middle-aged people in the US believe we experience age-discrimination in the job market. A very hard case to prove -- employers can always say one's skills are outdated and a thousand other excuses. One has to know other older applicants who've been overlooked, and how does one find them? It sounds like you may be in that boat as well.

I hope the end of the year finds all of us celebrating. Hopefully together.

Thank you Dayzee. Peace and blessings.
