My wife has been out of work for the last 3 months and I am beginning to feel a little uncomfortable. We have savings but I'd thought by now she would have gotten a job. On April 1st I am going to join the OT list in my job but I'm hoping that she has secured a job by then. Sorry to hear that. It's tough out there right now, because there are a lot of young people who will take jobs making almost nothing just to get their foot in the door, making it harder for "more seasoned" workers to get positions and compensation close to what they were previously making. I saw this even two years ago, when I took my current job at a fairly sizable pay reduction because my unemployment was about to run out and we didn't want to start burning savings. Keep strong, for your wife and for you, and I'll be praying something good comes her way.

The national average is at least 3 months to get another job.

I know a lot of posters here dislike digital comics but I still want to point out to people that comixology is having a very descent sales for marvel which includes some epics and other big collections. I just bought 9 books, including 6 epics which have 300-500 pages pr book, for 8€ Total. Savings: 145€. I get most people prefer physical, I do to, but for that price its not a bad deal if you want to try something out. I dont know how long this lasts but if you have any interst in this I do think you should check it out soon.

Keep strong, for your wife and for you, and I'll be praying something good comes her way. This is spoken truth. About 20 years ago I was "let go" by the Physician's group I was working for. I was unemployed for nearly 6 months. All because I had skills and wasn't prepared to settle for a minimum wage job flipping burgers or working a Convenience Store counter. I have watched here at the hospital as for 15 years nearly every person over the age of 40 is being replaced by younger and untrained new hires either fresh out of school or off the street. All because they are younger and cheaper help than all those who are qualified with existing skills. I have personally interviewed with 4 other hospital's within my company which are all closer to my home: though they all said I would be a great asset when it came down to it all four locations hired off the street and for less than half of what I cost. Be strong, keep the faith, be patient as you search and don't settle for something less until/if circumstances force you into doing so.

Note that if you get Masterworks Captain Marvel vol. 3, Masterworks Warlock vol. 2 and Death of Captain Marvel, you now have the entire original Thanos Saga for $3.

There really are quite a few good things there. Lots of news thing but also plenty of classic things. I pretty much just bought enough material for a years worth of train trips etc.

I picked up 40 different things. Sometimes I might have half the issues in the collection, but it's still totally worth it at $ .99 each.
Some of them were even straight up duplicates of stuff I own already, but again, at $ .99 each, who cares ?

I've never had any animosity toward ants before, but now that they're trying to share my house with me, I'd happily slaughter every one of the little bastards within a fifty-mile radius.
I summon the Raid!
Well, I would if my wife weren't so sensitive to chemical toxins. We're using vinegar and borax.

My latest contract is up at the end of this month, and I'm looking around for work with no bites so far, so I may well be joining the ranks of the time-rich shortly, as well.

I just copied you and bought the Captain Marvel & Warlock Masterworks. I have a physical copy of Death of Captain Marvel, so I only invested $2 on this impulse purchase. Thanks for the tip.

I summon the Raid! Well, I would if my wife weren't so sensitive to chemical toxins. We're using vinegar and borax. I know that feeling ... My parents home was attacked by ants once and when I was mowing the yard ... I discovered the culprit and ran inside the House and told my Dad the source of our ants and told him about an ant-hill and my Dad, hired an exterminator and the ant-hill was nearly 9-12 inches tall. So, when the exterminator came ... he removed the ant-hill and used vinegar and borax and spread it on the exposed ant-hill and surrounding areas to wipe out the problems forever. You might have an ant-hill nearby and I would check your property carefully for them ...

They never tried to get into the house, but if you stumbled into their nest you regretted it.

We don't have fire ants and they are nasty little critters ... we have just regular black ants and that's pretty sums up my experiences with them.
