From one to the other...
one: If I believed in previous lives, I'd say we knew each other before.
other: You don't have to believe in something for it to be real.
If it's real, it is. Truth does not crumble and blow away because
of lack of faith from anyone.

Bloggers in Business...
I am blessed with many friends here.
Hard-working, intelligent, talented.
One of those dear friends is Red Hill Kudzu.
He recently put together a website for selling antiques
and assorted treasures. Browse around Arrowhead Antiques

Another gem on my list of friends is Bear on a Bicycle.
Shrugged has a site that features his own handmade jewelery.
Click on From the Earth and be dazzled by his talent.

I'll save the good news for last...
My ex-employer had another lay-off this morning.
Seven more production workers and at least two
more office staff. The cut-backs are reaching farther
this time, though.
They have a small facility (all computer chip, all the time)
in California. The CEO is flying there to administer a
lay-off there. First time, ever, I believe.
Another first for them is a cut-back, of some sort, at their
shiny, modern facility in Singapore.
Will I go to hell for smiling about that bit of news?
The folks currently working in Florida are still working
short weeks (thirty-two hours). Indefinitely.
There may be a total plant shut-down for the month of May.
They are expecting no improvement in business this year.
At all.
For anyone who cares to leave a comment here, thank you,
in advance. But, let me say this:
It better not include anything even remotely similar to
"it isn't really that bad out there." Seriously.
Oh, yes, the good news:
After charging almost two thousand dollars in car repairs
and maintenance (and still paying that off slowly), the car
still runs well. It looks like shit but, it runs.
And lastly, none of my unemployment checks have bounced.
There is no good news about the new venture at this time.
I have not given up. It is on hold for the time being.
