What also says a lot to me is a recent turn of a situation. Mr O due to his placid nature

once a week visits the people who have bounced a Cheque on his friend's business. The nature of our friends business is a small chain of take-aways of fast food who deliver as well. With the current crisis, we did expect to see a down turn in business, after all, in a credit crunch, the first thing folk would sacrifice, is the take-aways? NO. Business is no different to last year. The difference is the increase in the amount of rubber cheques Mr O has to visit.

Nomad...... so sorry to hear of your news....... come over here..... my bro will hire you to fighten the horses before the 'Under orders'

I had a fight with a herd of coes once and in retrospect, i wouldn't do it again either even if it was their field

Seriously Nomie..... have you thought of re-locating to Britain? We got loads of jobs you could do. The Queen is looking for security for Ted Kennedy right now?

I am so sorry to hear your news Nomie. I hope you find a new job soon. I think a lot of us are wondering if we'll be next in line for this news. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

I don't know if this will help but when my dad was unemployed he took a ladder and bucket and knocked on people's doors asking if they wanted their windows washed. I wish someone would do that today. I'd pay for a regular window cleaner. Good luck.

We have had some-one setting up a wheelie bin cleaning service. £4 a time. I'm going to use it.

Nomad just lost his job.That really surprises me, I was thinking only last week that you were in the one job which was going to get a lot of trade over the next couple of years.

Lots of applications and lots of interviews, that's the fix.

Do you remember the ice cream wars of the last recession? Try setting up as a window cleaner and see what happens.

Keep yer ****** up Nomie - you've had a lean patch before and come through it and you can do so again.

Losing my job was the best thing that happened to me. Changed my life. Don't coop yourself up. Get out and do stuff. Volunteer. Find a yard in need and mow it. Whatever

You'll feel like a million. :-6

Nomie :-1 bummer I'm stunned and sad for you. My son-in-law lost his job as well an electrician and can only find part time work. I know you will find something. Can you go back to your old employer?? are they hiring??:yh_hugs I will keep good thoughts and know you will be back in the work force soon.

ACC has a point Volunteer work is how I got my present job.

Im thinking of going into business for myself. Its a thought. I have no idea where to start or how to get it going but if we can split atoms Nomad should be able to figure something out.

Thanks for the pity. I know people always say I dont want your pity but I think its way under rated.

Sorry to hear about your job.

Id like to keep doing what I was doing. The investigation aspect isnt feasible at this time but process serving is extremely lucrative.

I want to do it for myself. I dont know where to start so clearly I need to educate myself, attend seminars, find out about loans and grants, get business, saturate the area by advertising, making personal calls etc etc.

There are hundreds of law firms downtown. One may not be happy with their current service. I need to find that one then build.

I already know the pricing aspects. I know the laws and statutes.

I need to do some research.
