I know it will be tough - and tougher on some than others, and that not everyone going through it will come out with a job at the end. I'm so glad that you're viewing this as a chance to try something new.

I bought the materials for finishing the widow's walk this week. and have ordered some scaffolding to complete the facia painting so the roofers can come back and install the new gutters and downspouts. And of course, I'll have more time for those who feel adventurous and make the journey over. I make a good tour guide.<br />WallyWally Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05992375461165449990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6211641144119614724.post-4154443597939239582011-07-12T01:26:42.429-07:002011-07-12T01:26:42.429-07:00It's now an opportunity for you to explore all...It's now an opportunity for you to explore all the things that float your boat and see how happy it makes you to earn a small shekel from ALL of them. <br /><br />I have been worried about you since you said you'd been laid off, but am less worried about you now, now that I know you'll grasp the opportunity with both hands and make a bloody good run for it!<br /><br />Ali xxxxxxxAlison Crosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06565962059926865121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6211641144119614724.post-63091989839336978222011-07-12T00:44:27.560-07:002011-07-12T00:44:27.560-07:00This has been a very significant website indeed.
