Hi Mags,
Sorry to hear.. it's looking as if lots o' those bizness typhoons are retrenching, gettin rid of those liabilities: people er employees - and maybe installing bigger iron gates at the estate.
(I guess it's just their way of displaying that er confidence thing - which they exhort the rest of us to display by buying even more stuff. No, it's not supposed to make sense)
Hope you're onto something lateral.. down there.
Hmm: maybe - go around to local places pondering biting that New M$ Licensing cyanide bullet: with a working setup on laptop, doin the basic things for free? (Bring copy of the New Licensing Rules + a 16x20 poster of Billy smarling.)
(Nahh not the big macho Corps - small-medium? local folk)
Just a thought.
Remember when that fortune-teller escaped the Monterey jail? And the headline was - Small Medium at Large !
Cheers,
Ashton

Don't let it bring ya' down....
Ash, liked the 'small medium at large'.....slugbug jr laughed at that.
I'm tryin' to keep it positive and upbeat....just been a rough week. And, I'm sick to death of the 'programming of the American people'.
However, a long walk on the beach offsets all this rather nicely....
Tuning out, dropping in.. -Slug

BTW don't lose contact
Hope you and Jr wind up doing well.
Hope she is adjusting well to college.
Hope that (some day) you two will come out here or vice versa...
Cheers, Ben

No way...
Not meaning to lose contact....have just been offline a bit more these days. I'm working toward self-employment by the end of the year so lots to do. The 'day job' rather sucks right now, too.
As for Jr., she is doing great at college and she's in 'heavy like' too :)
I'll try to get back there to visit, but it likely won't be before spring. Same goes for y'all.....feel free to come this way anytime. It's foggy round here, but at least we ain't got no stinkin' snow...heh!

Glad to be of service... :-)
