Thanks Michelle, when it comes down to it i rather lose my job, than Mike lose his job...
You are close to me, how is it around your area? I bet the Steel Mills if you have any are all closed, and most of our car dealership and small businesses are closing? My hometown is starting to look like a ghost town now :(

I know that the steel mills in West Virginia are starting to close up. I am not sure if we have any in my area.

That's what i thought.. That's ok when the car companies start selling again they can get there steel from China now.. Why not were getting everything else from them. Oh is this a mess.... :(

Yeah I know. It really bites that almost everything comes form them. At least now when we grocery shop we have the option of buying the few USA made products on the shelf thanks to the new labels. :rolleyes:

it's very sad, but it cheaper labor, and cheaper products, that's why were getting items with lead posionings etc. But as long as the American people keeping buying it they will keep shipping the tainted items over to us.
I try to buy USA products but very few out there anymore.. I can't even find toddler clothes that are made in the USA, toys etc. everything from China, even toddler dishes, cups, you name it...

Maybe you should get a license to drive a school bus. Doesn't always pay the best, but it was so worth it for me to have all the holidays, fall and spring breaks and summers off with Ricky. I was paid all through the summer so that helped. Even if I didn't want to drive full time for one school....I could sign up to sub at other schools and darn near work everyday. Some offer insurance....some don't. I have great insurance. Plus if a driver wants to earn extra money...there are field trips and sport trips to take. Always something to think about even if for something to fall back on.

That sounds good to me, i need a job with insurance, its funny you said that , i can't believe i can ride a motorcycle and i have my motorcycle lisc., but i can't drive a stick... go figure... LOL, my dad tried to teach me but gave up i kept grinding the gears....

All our buses are automatics....don't need to know how to drive a stick. And it's not like you would have to drive one all the time...but maybe in-between jobs or just to have something to fall back on when you need it. I enjoy it most of the time, but I liked being able to drive Ricky on his field trips and sport trips too.

I wonder if ours are automatic, haven't been on a school bus since 1988 ,, i'll have to check into that...
