Economy!!!!
My dad has worked for a major oil company most of his life. Today, however he no longer does. He, like so many others in American got layed off from his job! My dad is in his 60’s. He says he will get another job, but in today’s economy, I am just not so sure…..
Today, one of Garrett’s vocabulary words was Economy.
Garrett thought Economy meant that you ran out of money. When I asked him the definition, he made a whistling noise indicating a bomb dropping and then exploding on the ground.
“How fitting”, I thought….”The economy is definitely dropping like a bomb!”
Our economy is so bad that my 12 yr old thinks the definition of economy is when you have no money!

Working in the “TRADES” so to speak, getting laid off went with the territory. What a lot of people have to realize is half a loaf is better than none. An old addage that fits is: Wake up and smell the coffee. In other words grab yourself up by the boot straps and get a job. Always remember there is work out there, it may not be what your suited for, but it is work plain, pure, and simple. Now Dad wqs what they call in the old days: A meat in the pot Man, and I did’nt fall too far from the tree. Another old expression is don’t put your eggs in one basket. This requires thought, and if people followed these rules We would’nt be in the fix we’re in. There are no free rides these days, but most importantly “WORK IS NOBLE”. As Always Hansei
