Hi, Eva. I'm so glad that you are showered with love and attention from your daughter and the grandchildren. We are so fortunate to have that which many people don't. I wish that I could put a bench where Christin and Mom are buried, but as of now, it is against the rules in their cemetery. You certainly are on the right track to recovery from grief by holding on to the fact that your sister is not sick or suffering anymore. That is certainly a comforting thought for our loved ones who have gone before us. They don't have to deal with any of life's burdens anymore and possess nothing but peace, beauty, and happiness. I know we all still miss them, but we will see them again. Thanks for the condolences regarding my dear mom. She passed away last June 3, but I am still grieving and always welcome kind thoughts. Blessings, Eva. Lu

lost My Email-Today's Rant
Q
Comments (16)
If you are looking to get a computer in the near future and are a fan of outlook express (been using for many years and I also hate the change) you will not be able to continue using it with Windows 7...You can still use it on all older computers inluding vista but when Windows 7 came with my new computer it had no email program with it, and tells you to get your own. It will not support Outlook express. I had to download another program which was free, (Thunderbird) to receive my home email and support the account that held it without changing my email address. I have hot mail and yahoo, both free and have used them for years also, but my Outlook express account took care of all my personal and household mail. That address I did not give out freely. Had I known before I purchased this version I probably would have opened a gmail (free) account and gradually turned my mail over to that to get used to it.

Hi Taunia, I can relate with your heartbreak after being there myself. I found comfort and the ability to express my emotions by creating miniatures of all the past events and family history that were noteworthy or memorable. The process found me journaling my thoughts as a short explanation for the various symbolic "treasures." The accumulation eventually found their way to a miniature Christmas tree of "the family" and an ongoing wreath that displays the symbols of current events and feelings. It was very therapeutic and brought me a great deal of serenity when coping seemed an impossibility. I pray you too find a way to "feel the feelings" as a way of climbing life's mountains to reach peace.

I didn't tell them much except that they need LOTS of software training to do what I did.They are already two weeks behind and get more behind each day. I have gotten two stories on why I was let go. One I know is a lie and the other will blow up in their face if they don't do some serious negotiations with the university. They think the new software will "talk" with the old software and there will be no need to manually enter data but they don't realize that the old software has to be reprogramed to do what they want and the university will not reprogram it. One of the old managers and I tried for about 5 years to get them to reprogram it. The data cannot just be automatically transfered from one system to the other, it has to be analized to make sure it meets the university's requirements first. What they think will happen is what SHOULD happen but I am a little pessimistic that it will. I have been around that university for almost 30 years and I know the reality of how things work. Less eating out for us to offset the gas bill but maybe I will find another little job before too long.

I am so sorry. I know it has to be devastating.

I really know nothing about this but the barest of info, just seeing little ads on news sites, etc & I hope it IS true (not a scam) .... something about Pres.Obama wanting working moms to go back to school to further their education or get training. Perhaps there are some incentives? Maybe you could do a web search to check into it further?

I wish you all the best & truly hope good fortune is right around the corner for you Nicki.

I'm sorry to hear that.

A suggestion. When you sign up for unemployment, be sure to look into what programs are available for retraining--often courses at the county college. Sometimes, you can get free tuition if you're on unemployment.

Even if you can't get your courses paid for, why don't you consider taking an apprenticeship program at your local community college? You work during the day (getting PAID) and take classes in the evening. If you can get into a program like that, the college will help place you in an appropriate work situation. The pay probably won't be great to start with, but it's a step, and after a couple of years, you'll be qualified as a professional. Some of the apprenticeships our county college offers are things like: opticianry, paralegal, and other para-professionals. Good way to get a career and earn money while you're studying. And this is a good time of year to look into enrolling for fall. Good luck

I hate to hear this type of news, from anyone. I am so sorry. After having been through this several times, and most recently, when the country decided it was in recessesion, I truly feel for anyone going through this now. Sending best wishes for something to come your way soon. Keep your strenth and your courage, and your faith.

I feel for you. My DH has been looking ever since we moved to the country. It's rough all over but hopefully you (and everyone who is unemployed) will find something soon.
