I know I am not that old but boy am I feeling old! I don’t have a problem working, dragging limbs, etc., my problem is when I stop for the day, everything stiffens up, lol.

I literally cannot move except to drag myself to bed!

Go figure on hiring kids. My husband has some of the same issues hiring for his business as well (which used to be the kind of work teens/young adults flocked to). I wonder how they are all making a living?

We had no success at all hiring kids (as young as 11 to 14 or so) to weed in the gardens on the farm. The pay was $20 an hour, a few years ago. A few came by and were hired. Pulled some weeds (in slo mo), sweated, complained, stopped for water every two minutes, etc. My daughter had a hard time containing herself - she was pulling the weeks at top speed, no stopping, no complaining.

Kids don’t NEED to work these days. Everything is bought for them. It’s as I’ve said for years.....our problems with the young people is not the young people. It’s the stupid parents.

I wonder the same thing here. So many small business owners give us quotes for work we need done, yet can’t fulfill it because nobody wants to work.
