It will be hard for you, I know, and I hope God finds your family the funds you need and gets you back on track.<BR/>Dean is still trying to find a job to help our finances, but at 84, he is called too old. He can work circles around many others and is knowledgeable to the point of being very smart and capable.<BR/>There I go, dumping my troubles on you. Not fair.<BR/>I do hope all works out and I will watch to see how you do.<BR/>God does care.<BR/>Betty Gitsboopchilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10444873617218689459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041284.post-8514216965616809932008-11-14T11:41:00.000-06:002008-11-14T11:41:00.000-06:00A friend and her hubby is/will be suffering from t...A friend and her hubby is/will be suffering from the shutdown/lay off/downsizing of the Chrysler plant in Fenton, MO. He worked there for years plus years plus years, that's all he EVER did, and was hoping to retire from there, sit back with his wife and growi old together.<BR/><BR/>He never did anything else, went to work there out of high school, just tightened some bolts on a vehicle part, made damn good money, had all the benefits and of course the 401K. They were building up their "nest egg" pretty damn good, no kids, car payment, mortgage, etc. Then he gets THE NEWS, a severance package deal, but still not what he was bringing home, unemployment only going so far and nothing to actually add to the "nest egg" now. Plus the fact, she (his wife/my friend) just found out she is diabetic and will have to endure the insulin shots, medications, etc. <BR/><BR/>It seems with the economy like it is, banks forced to shut down, foreclosures out he kazoo and so many companies just going tits up... we all are hurting, just some of us more than others. <BR/><BR/>When you've taken the last bit of everything and put it into everything, you simply don't have anything left to do anything with. But remember... there is always someone worse off than yourself. It might not seem that way right now, but there is. <BR/><BR/>My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family and I know there will be light at the end of the tunnel for y'all. Just keep smiling and keep our chin up Brenda, we're all rooting for you.
