Debate & Discuss / Re: Are You Unemployed?

Thank you for the good luck wishes.  I was just reading in my newspaper today that the unemployment rate for my state (NC) has gone up again for the third month in a row, up to 9.2% now.  How disheartening.  It's one thing trying to find work when you know there might be work out there, another trying to find something when you know there's not.  What do you do?  I am still trying to stay positive and believe that everything happens for a reason, but dang it's hard sometimes lol.

Off-Topic / 5 Things to do with Toothpicks

« on: July 13, 2011, 12:52:48 pm »Message ID: 384707

Got these tips from an older issue of Woman's Day magazine.

 

1)  Temporarily save your glasses: If you lose a screw, slide a piece of toothpick into the screw hold.  Add tape to hold things together until you can get them fixed.

2)  Decorate a cake: Lightly sketch your letters, etc... in the frosting with a toothpick before you ice to prevent mistakes.

3)  Prevent shredded tape: Stick a toothpick to the cut end of packing tape so you can find it next time.

4)  Fill in small scratches: The next time you have a scratch that you to fill with paint, putty or varnish, use a toothpick to spread it along the scraped area.

5)  Plug a garden hose leak: Break off a third of a toothpick and slide it into the hole until the edge is flush with the hose.  Wrap waterproof tape around the hose to secure.

Debate & Discuss / Re: Food stamps for fast food

I wish you were allowed to buy fast (hot) foods with food stamps.  The price of groceries are so high and keep getting more expensive.  I think you'd save money in the long run.  There are healthy fast-food choices out there as well.

Actually, I lost my job just yesterday!     From the same company who laid me off a couple of years ago.  I had been back with them FT again only since January and things just weren't working out.  I had a pretty good job already when they asked me back and thought things would be better there, but now I realize I should have stayed at the job I had, now I have no job and not likely that the job I left to go back to the company that let me go again will take me back since they had to find someone to take my place.
