Valentines Come and Gone

Well Cupid's arrows are back in the quiver for the season and St. Valentines Day is behind us. I hope that my fellow husbands remembered the importance of the day and made the most of it.

Just this week my wife threw out the rose petals left from her bouquet of garden roses and popped the "I Love you" balloon that had miraculously retained both it's helium and buoyancy.

I have been muddling along husband-wise lately. Both of us are doing what we can for ourselves physically as we hunt (seemingly in vain) for an opportunity at employment.

Most of my day is spent in attempting to regain lost funds in my modest stock trading account. Thus far I am still down considerably and working at making any small gains I can on a daily basis.

Vicki is waiting on word from her sister's work where there is a possibility of a job later in the spring. I pore over jobs boards and monster and jobbing.com and yahoo and whatever.

Is it just me or is there a lack of "real" jobs out there. A lot of what I see is just bullshit stuff.

I continue to think about and explore all legitimate methods of producing income.

Hope the world is treating you as well or better.

Sorry to hear that you're finding it hard to get a decent job. It's my belief that we're all being kept in the dark about how bad the economic downturn REALLY is. Things are going to get worse in the UK in the next year - definitely. After that, who knows?

Paradoxically, my business thrives in tough times, so I'm doing ok. Well, in that way, at least. But I'd rather get poorer and see my local community thrive. Hard to believe? I think it's because I'm getting older and realise that getting rich is an overrated occupation...

Best wishes.
