thanks for words of encouragement for my son Ryan. All those that are unemployed, I feel badly for you. stood on that line way too many times.last hired first fired as the saying goes. Teachers on li make a bundle. My sister gets over 100.000. a year, that after getting tenure. if she coaches more. the benefits are out of this world too. it's unbelieveable here on the island. that's the big ticket job here. I guess when he gets out of school he hopes to make at least 15-16 and hour. everything here is ridiculous. the cheapest you can get a cellar apartment, studio is about $1,000.00/month. it's crazy here. I'm glad i'm disabled now and am not pounding the pavement, as they say. Mary, at first he want to be home at night no OTR for him. we'll see. Patches, wish your dh good luck from me.it's a cruel world out there.
