    okay this explains it. i thought the last photo you posted of yourself (the thread where we were sharing our photos & how we got our board names) you had long hair. when i saw the photo of you on nancy zieman i thought to myself 'wow she cut it all off again'. we can be our harshest critics at times, your nancy zieman photo is not one of someone who is unphotogenic at all.

    After 3 years I am almost ready to disagree.

    All I have been able to do is get random temp jobs here and there.

    it has been just about 3 yrs for me also but i am still holding out..... hope! i have had phone interviews with companies across the country (willing to relocate) without a significant bite but.... i still believe a great opportunity is out there for me and we (me & the opportunity) are working diligently to find one another.

    i have had several friends who have had to relocate to find work. this work climate is tough but do not despair. it's not you, it's the market (sounds like a line from a jilting lover).

    hang in there louise. i have been having thoughts about buying myself the best push up bra on the market (ooh maybe one of those with the water inserts), finding a really great corset type waist nipper, buying a pair of those butt lifter padded control briefs, getting a great pair of orthodic inserts for some high heels along with a good pair of compression stockings and dragging myself to the nearest hooters bar to get myself a waitress job. i have a bubbly personality so there should be no problem, right?

    ooh and i forgot about a wig to cover those accent hairs i have been accumulating since i was 30. they seem to have spread and bought extra family members with them.

    Thanks Mary,

    You gave me a smile and then a big laugh at
    the thought of ME trying to do something like
    that.

    I guess I am going to try the Alpine Access again it
    is a work at home type of job, hubs told me about them
    as he works with someone who's wife is part of the company
    (management or something).

    Brenda,

    LOVED that series of books, although I have not gotten the last one (or two).

    I was just at the Alpine Access sight to update my status, no jobs listed
