Would REALLY like to have gone but the economy strikes 
With the child support I'm paying my disposable income is OT which we have not had in 5 months. So tight right now I even had to sell my BuckMark.22 and haven't gotten to shoot 4 July 
I hope Mosbear and Timothy got to go.
I can identify, Tom. After my first heart attack 5 years ago my previous employer figured out they could get somebody half my age to do my job for half the money. So I made a career change, taking a $25,000 plus pay cut in the process.
Then about 2 years ago Mrs. T's employer decided to get rid of 34 people who were over 40 and had had some claims against their health insurance. So, after 18 years she was out of a job. Now, instead of making $30,000 a year she's a part-time McFry cook. And with the economy the way it is these days, we're damn glad she has that!!
Which is why I work 2 jobs for a total of 60+ hours a week, even though my doctor wants me to retire. Hell we can hardly pay the bills as it is, what are we supposed to do if I have to quit working?
Ok, I'm done whining now.
