Nah, true volunteering includes sacrifice. OTOH you get first dibs with those cookies. My preference are the mint cookie with dark chocolate cover.

I like them and the Samoa's ;-)
But I find I eat less and less sweets as I age... just an occasional piece of chocolate (or fudge ;-)

Tell me about it. My wife isn't working since we moved and doesn't want to look because we're not planning on staying here for more than another six months or so. Who knows though, if there's work to be done we may stay for a long time (since we finally made it out of weenie-land).

So, where are you guys now?
Always on the look-out for business-friendly places and where they don't tax grandparents out of their homes :-)

NE OH. It's a lot cheaper than VT, though a lot more "big-city". When asked about the size of the city, I reply "five Walmarts, five Home Despots, and four Lowes". There are two, two, and zero in the whole state of VT. ;-)
Well, we made it 2/3rds of the way to KY. There is a *lot* more work here too. ;-)

I beat you to kentucky. I arrived there in the later half of in
1952, at a hospital in Menifee County.! ;-)
I spent most of my life in SW Ohio, between Cincinnati, and Dayton.

Yeah, but you were dumb enough to leave. ...for Florida, of all places!
I've been talking with a head-hunter about a job in that area. We'd really rather be in that corner than here, but as long as they're paying me the big money for all the hours I can work, I'll stay. ...well for a while. ;-)

Only after 30+ years in Ohio. At that time there was no electronics work in the area. Months between job postings. A freind who was an EE ended up serviceing lotto machines for the state of Ohio. i was hired as a broadcast engineer as soon as I hit Florida. It was my first, and only application after moving south. I was hired before I had time to apply anywhere else.
Good luck in ohio. I hope things have improved in the last 20 years. the last job offer I had in Ohio was at Ch 45 (WRGT-TV) in Dayton for Chief Engineer. I took one look at the place and walked out.

Things seem to have changed, big time. Of course everything is electronics today. I've been getting calls from a company that makes *big* welders. Of course I made an ass out of myself by asking why they were looking for me (FPGA, embedded controller hardware type). Well, I have been asked to look at some *strange* openings.
I doubt that we'll stay long though, although SWMBO is going house shopping this week. It seems the housing "bubble" has hit here hard.
It seems they have, though this isn't really where I want to be. It's OK, but I'd like to be a little closer to my mother (94) so we could get over to see her a little more often. It's only a 6-1/2 hour drive (down from 16 when we were in VT) from here, but half that would be much nicer.
Big?
Many years ago (60s), a friend worked for GE making SCRs.
Their biggest customer was another division of GE, the one that made railroad locomotives.
I know what you mean. My mom has been gone over 20 years from cancer but my dad lives next door, so I can check on him every day.
My dad (89) remarried... he brags that his sex life keeps him alive ;-)

Drove my sister nuts after our mother died... my sister just couldn't cope with our father being attracted to another woman.
I thought it was hilarious, his descriptions of sexual arousal, she didn't ;-)
