The times really are bad throughout the US, but especially throughout the greater Dayton and Wilmington area. Best of luck getting back on track, my thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

Just noticed there were over 1900 views but only 28 replies. I sure hope our VolNation ain't getting inured by all of the troubles in our country and the world. I pray they're too busy or too unsure of what to say.

LOL man. I believe most of us have leaned on the VN in a time of need. Sometimes just to clear our heads or to get some feelings off our chest. I know I have. When we lost our baby last year it was my only way to let it all out without breaking down in front of my wife. I spent alot of nights just jumping from thread to thread.Sometimes I would post, sometimes just reading. Seeing people respond with kind words and giving incouragement helps more than most realize. Hang in there and be stong for your family.

I never have been a great poster, but I wanted to share this story. Anyone who watched 60 Minutes last night got to see where I live. I was one affected by the shutdown. I was escorted out the same week we played KY. to go to the SEC championship. My wife talked me into watching the game. She said it was better than staring at the walls. I watched it and for that few hours, I remembered how I love the Vols. It also made me start thinking about what I had to do. It snapped me out of it. I would read Mr. Hat, BPV, Mr. Freak and the others and I could escape for a while. As the foreclosure came and we moved (Xmas Day), we were as ready as you can be. We have an apartment and are starting a new life. I look back to the KY game and Erik Ainge and the VN posters. You all allowed me to "snap out of my initial shock". Thanks Guys and Gals. Sports may not be everything, but to some people it's all they have got. Even if for just one game. Take care and GO VOLS.

If anything I wrote here helped you even the smallest bit during your tough times, I am glad to have been of service.

Keep your head up. I was laid off 20 years ago from a major oil company. I was shocked! I had 3 kids between the ages of 5 and 1. I had just bought a new car(My supervisor assured me 1 week before that I would not be affected), and a house note. It took me 8 months to find a job. However, looking back, that 8 months was some of the most rewarding time of my life. I traveled the country, met lots of great people and it gave me the confidence I needed. I finally landed a job that has allowed me to travel the world and make very good money. Looking back, I would not change a thing. It would have never happened with my old company(Which no longer exists...by the way...I knew that they could not do without me;)), and I had become too complacent to try it. It is truly the best thing that ever happened to me. They say when one door closes another opens...For me, it was a garage door. I have been with this company for 20 years now. So, keep the faith, most of my friends that have had similar experiences seem to land on their feet. Take this as an opportunity.

going through tough times. In the past 20 yrs my company went bankrupt, bought my own business and it went bankrupt and I lost everythng, battled cancer, suffered from depression...........

With support from my family, my church family and the grace of God I am a much better person for my trials.

If you let the volnation know what you are looking for in employment (location, type of work) we will be eyes and ears for you.

Good luck and God Bless you and your family.

OK, here is my pearl of wisdom to help through difficult times.

Every “Crisis” is composed of 2 parts; “Danger” and “Opportunity”. Think about it. In every Crisis that you have ever experienced, an Opportunity has presented itself to you.

So, while the Danger is scary, try to focus on the Opportunity that is being presented to you, whatever that may be. :hi:

I by-passed this post a few times without reading it. Wish I hadn't waited.

My thoughts are with you and your family. My hope is that every family who goes through this is strengthened by it. And my prayer is that you find comfort from God and the people he puts in front of you.

There was an executive with an LSU license plate on the front of his vehicle. We talked a few times, I don't know what happened to him.

Thank-you for your post.
