Prayers up that you’ll get the offer.

I’m looking, too.

Still working full time but my salary got cut by 50%. Can’t make enough to pay the bills.

Nobody ever said it would be easy.

Hang tough!

Sheesh, MA! Ice in Alaska and fog in California. You need to swing out this way for awhile where you can get away from all that nasty weather!

Aloha Teenster!

Just another lovely day in Blue Hawaii...

I was planning to take a trip to the mainland and my brother in the mainland was planning to take a trip over here.......all plans have been postponed, thanks to the TSA.

Guess we'll have to consider driving.
