After 6 months of hunting my wife got a McJob.. well. it’s a evil non-union retailer job. She got 3 offers from 3 retail box stores..

Sam walton offered her the most and the best, most flexiable hours a women with 2 kids and type 1 could ask for :)

I gave up looking for a job a year ago and bought a struggling fish shop. It’s getting better and turns a profit (just enough so far) so things ARE looking up for us. but my customers have much less disposiable income. A few years ago a shop like mine could sell 2-300 dollar corals 3 or 4 times a week.

Now, anything over 50 bucks just sits. Good thing I can cut the 2-300 dollar ones up in to 50 dollar chunks.

I hear ya, I turned 60 two years ago and got the ax. Well savings carried me to 62 and now I'm getting SS. SS pays the bills on the house (thank G*d the house is paid for) I also bought a couple of John Deere garden tractors, JD318's one mower and one with a front end loader I manage to make a few $$$ with them. Now if all the illegals would leave I could good very nice mowing lawns and doing light dirt work. Oh I also own a little east Texas beer joint but that just keeps 4 people employed it never makes money and often loses money :(

Good luck to you my friend, remember guns and ammo :)

Make some of them triangular to fit in the corner or fit around the air pump, calling it designer coral.
