I agree...God is in charge. I have resolved that I will only do business or spending my money with people who support my values.
If you’ve got nothing to tie you down, here’s an option. The maximum age to join the Air Force is 27, for the Navy it’s 34.
Consider joining either branch, and opt for technical training. Learn all you can. Put in 20 years enlisted. Collect the paycheck, then collect the pension.
It’s not the American dream, but nothing is anymore.
Oh, and try to find happiness where you can. In a sunset, in a CD of your favorite songs, in helping others.
They’re loving this thread at DU. Get a grip.

BTTT for what I hope will be another helpful, older and wiser FR thread.
And besides, RR doesn’t appear to be ready to concede Ohio.
May God keep watch over us all, and see us through this troubling time.

We didn’t all have a solid education and foundation built by capable parents. I had a few clumps of mud, rather than a solid foundation for a skyscraper. I had a terrible education and didn’t go to college. To top that off, my longest work experience was 22 months long, and that ended in January 2008.
There are a lot of different roads taken to this belief system. Like I’ve been doing for most of my life, I followed someone else, almost blindly. I likely don’t know how to lead, and am scared about trying to take control, because if I fail it will probably crush me for good.
Like I said, we didn’t all get a solid foundation built by those put in charge of us.
He has no health insurance of his own, can't get on mine and will be fined the last pittance of his wages with Obamacare penalties for not having insurance. He won't qualify for Obamacare because gov't programs don't view child support paid as a "legitimate" expense. He is not the exception, rather the rule. Just google "Title IV-D" and "child support nightmare" It is a horrible catch 22. White, western, conservative males are afraid to reproduce due to the heavy penalty they pay should the mother of their child decide to drop them like a hot potato and take their wallet. Thus a reduced demographic and voting block. I look forward to the Mayan calendar theory and/or asteroid at this point.
I supposed you could move to Kolob?
If I was you I would turn to my faith, eat well, with the little energy I did have I would do light exercise to increase my endorphins and energy and find fulfilling hobby or enterprise even if it just 10 minutes out of my day. I would also surround myself with a few friends that I could provide friendship and hopefully they too would return the favor. Also I would get a pet if I had the capacity preferably a low maintenance one. Fish. Cat.
You keep up the good fight and realize God is on control. As disappointing as this is, there is a larger purpose at work here. Align yourself with that.
See my reply to NautiNurse. I don’t know which number it is because I’m going through each and replying in a different tab.
Obamamao is planning on gutting the military. I am afraid for my son, who just turned 25 and enrolled in the AF reserves the beginning of this year.
I’m 28 too, I recently lost my job, but tomorrow I’m going to have to buck the eff up, quit feeling sorry for myself and find another way to get a job. Now, let me tell you something and I mean this as a friend, here I just slid you a beer, drinks on me bud. :) at 28 you are still very young to go back to school and do it affordably. I used to be a college counselor, please FReepmail me man, let’s talk about your education and how we’re going to get through this. Things are better than you imagine, I’m serious, I got my own struggles too and believe it or not they are similar to yours. But we will get through this, we will have families and get work, please don’t give up.
Think they’d take a 46 year old? B-) I’m a fan of Indiana Jones and the TV series “Young Indy” where he joined the Belgian Army under the name of Henri LeFrance. I’ll go by that name. B-)
My Son is 5... How do you think I feel?
my step daughter came home pushing Obama last night. Time to go talk to the school..
I had plans for expanding.
I just got a e-mail from a client waiting on today to pull the trigger on a project.
Canceled.
I’m waiting on a visit from Gault.
If you can’t pull yourself up in a few days, please seek counseling.
Your happiness and fulfillment in life must not, cannot depend on arrogant, self important people in D.C.
Talk to some good friends, join a Bible study group, and count the blessings you do have. Read some inspirational books. Neil Cavuto has a good one.
You’ll land on your feet. But please get help if you can’t break out of it soon.
Try to live your life. Obama will not rob you of your happiness unless you let him. Try to do the things you want to do, and don’t give up. Life has to go on for all of us.
Been there done that. Lifted myself out of it. I am thriving.
The end game has already been written and foretold in the bible and truth will win out. But before we get there several things MUST happen first.
Jesus equated the end times coming upon us like “birth pangs” come upon a woman going into labor.
What are “birth pangs”? Painful contractions starting out in longer intervals that grow shorter and stronger.
I see this as one of those pains. They have been getting closer together and stronger.
Another prophecy yet to be fulfilled in a new world order that’ll be led by the anti-christ. It’s not hard to believe that Obama wouldn’t lead us down that road. I actually believe he’s got us well on the way.
I believe that the US of A that you and me love has been a major stumbling block in the plans of the powers that be. We’d be damned if we would willingly accept being governed by any entity outside our elected government.
Stay with me now!
Look at Europe and what’s happened over there. They formed an economic union that has them locked into a system forsaking their sovereignty. Now the whole thing is being held up by ONE country, Germany. It won’t and can’t last forever. Nor can the US continue down the spending spree it’s on and now committed to into the future.
It’s all gonna come crashing down and by design. The powers that be WANT it to crash. It’s the only explanation as to why they ignore the math and continue to spend.
But WHY do they want it to crash?
If things are made so bad and our comforts we’re used to gone that makes things ripe for accepting something that normally wouldn’t.
One man will come out of the fray seeming to have all the answers to all the worlds ill’s and the people will fall for it hook line and sinker. THIS is what can be learned from the election of Barrack Hussien Obama.
BHO, protected by a media that allows him to literally get away with murder. How much more will this antichrist be protected with the full backing of satan himself.
I could continue on with this but it’s getting late and I gotta get up for work in the morning so I can continue giving to the non working moochers.
Bottom line is that there is still hope. Just not in the way your currently looking for it.
God wants Jesus to be your salvation, not some politician.
