For close to 140 years no one knew much about it but then I still and undergraduate worked out the whole history and luckily had it published too.

Not expected, but not surprising either. The company is a civil engineering firm and this was the second round of layoffs. It's painful because, well, I've got 5 kids, 4 of them still at home, and the other is still something of a dependent, and due to medical and legal expenses over the last 5 years, we've no cushion to fall back on.<br /><br />After I'm done freaking out today, I've got a lot of work to do to try to find employment that doesn't end up with me pushing a broom or flipping burgers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7793841573292945810.post-84298806546543304292009-09-25T13:47:40.413-07:002009-09-25T13:47:40.413-07:00Tuirgin,

You're welcome. I think so much...Christopher, <br />You're welcome. I think so much of the time the fashion world can be soul-less and superficial, but I don't think needs to be. Much like how I find so many of the criticisms I read of, say, Twitter to be apt regarding how vapid and pointless are the bulk of the tweets out there. Still I maintain that properly wielded it can be a valuable tool. So few people properly wield it though. I feel the same about the fashion industry.Paul Mathershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15951893912611871578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7793841573292945810.post-52396377772695891582009-09-25T11:11:36.520-07:002009-09-25T11:11:36.520-07:00Looks like it's time to get my own metal detec...Looks like it's time to get my own metal detector.

I often wonder if all the money we'd ever need might be stashed up there right over our heads every day. <br />It's amazing what we don't even know is around us.Paul Mathershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15951893912611871578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7793841573292945810.post-5960343462851532902009-09-24T21:06:16.563-07:002009-09-24T21:06:16.563-07:00Wow.
