And here I had things all set for your imminent arrival, I'm so sad

It's the hubby and the ammo thing isn't it?? The guns'll be empty and besides he's not a very good shot, especially at moving targets, just don't stand still once you get here

ROTFLMAO

No kidding. My old college roomate is quitting his job in Austin and moving to Dallas. He trained his replacement....... via daily teleconferences to Bali.

The first job he applied for and was accepted to in Dallas was terminated two weeks after he got the "You're hired" call because the company moved their "IT Dept" to the Phillippines. The funny part is that they offered to move HIM to the Phillippines and pay him the same wages that they're paying them (which is the American equivalent of less than a dollar an hour).

When he said no, they offered him a job that paid half the salary that the other one was paying.

"Strong" is nowhere near the word I would use to describe our economy. Although I support Bush, I also thank God that: 1. There is no allowed third term and 2. That Bush had all daughters, all of whom are nowhere near interested in politics.

Well you're not considered employed you arent considered at all.

You get dropped from the number of eligible workers...

But I agree the numbers mean something just not everything
