You know the times are bad when 700 people apply for 1 janitors job

I don't want to start a political conversation here but I've heard some interesting things coming from Washington lately. Changes are definitely afoot. I only hope that these changes are as good as they seem, that they WILL happen, and that they're not too late. Moon, anyone who might get angry at what you (and I) said are those whom the fear hasn't hit yet... those who have plenty of money, aren't worried about the economy and refuse to see how it's falling into a depression. Catilda, you are so very right! We need to plant seeds, and not just the kind that grow into vegetables, either! We all need to start thinking of ideas to help everyone get through these tough times and probably worse times ahead. My son just helped me by setting the foundation pipe outside so I can put up my umbrella-type clothesline to dry our clothes outside. It's one major way we can all cut down on expenses... stop using those clothes dryers! They eat more energy than most other things we might be using (aside from heat for our homes). Hey, if you're anywhere close to my age, your parents did't have a clothes dryer either, and they got by. I remember my mother's fingers being so red after hanging the laundry outside in the wintertime. If you MUST use a clothes dryer (with no space to hang clothes outside), disconnect the vent (bendable piping going from dryer to outside vent) going to the outside wall, cover the hole in the wall with something thick so the cold air doesn't come in, tape some kind of lint trap to the end of the dryer vent hose (like pantyhose or something similar) and let that hot, moist air stay in your home instead of heating up the outside. (There's a gadget you can buy to do just this, but you don't need to buy anything... just use what you have.) As for real seeds, vegetable seeds, I've already started my long-season veggie seeds, like tomatoes, peppers, eggplants and celery. I'll be starting other things like broccoli, melons and other things that need an early start within the next couple of weeks. I've also planted perennials like kiwis, grapes, asparagus, many different kinds of herbs and a bunch of fruit trees. I do a little more each year, then save some seeds for the next year's garden. Whatever I grow that can't be eaten fresh, I plan to share. I'll be canning, freezing and drying a lot this year also so I won't have to buy too much next winter. You're so very right about planting seeds! You can grow a tomato plant, pepper plant, even a potato plant on any balcony so having no room is no excuse to do what you can. Sorry, didn't mean to turn this into a veggie growing lesson. LOL I'll behave and stop now.

yeah it all comes down to that we as a country need to help ourselves survive before we start helping out everyone else.. a lot of people will be angry at me saying that but its true.. and yeah its headed towards another great depression and that just scares me

yeah your right there is a real shortage in your field

The pay is not great and the paper work is a b*tch, but i do find it rewarding.

yep and then there will be a huge rush when all of their unemployment is up for everyone wanting jobs RIGHT THEN.. its crazy.

yeah as long as your bringing money in i wouldnt complain.. but i also have done janitor work before lol

yeah i did housekeeping too and i had this slave driver boss that thought me at 90lbs should move a baby grand piano with another girl.. yeah it was on wheels but it was still heavy! i have always had a bad back and told him that but he didnt see the problem.. yet he didnt help out!!

yeah i know

yeah i know my brother has been out of work since november and just cant find anything here! not even a job as a janitor!

yep it definitely would be a smelly world

yeah i think its stupid to be picky in these times and days..

i never minded being a janitor but it was funny at how many people had this look of horror on their face when i said that was what i did for a living

yeah i have been there too... go here and it will help you make one.. you will have to resize it to 50x50 to get it to work on here though.. other wise it will just show the first pic and never switch to the others http://freecodesource.com/index.php?page=myspacegenerators/animator/index
