We tell others to "never say never", but then use the phrase "never forget" for 09/11/2001! Perhaps "always remember" is a bit more appropriate for Patriot Day & other things? I’ve said it’s more about people than anything, but starting to wonder....
Until a few weeks ago, it had been ~1 year & 3 months since I posted. I’ve been without a job for over 2.5 years & without income for a year (unemployment ended September 2013). I was denied disability; I am now on Medicaid, but cannot see my doctors. I’ve sold cars, with 2 more for sale now; all of my FWD-condoning MCs are gone.
Otherwise, things are great; ha! Nephew will be 6 years old & Niece will be 2 years old this November.
Job search has had too many misses. I’m looking for customer service, marketing or social media opportunities; trying to use my crafting creativity on my OLD CARS, STRONG HEARTS facebook page to leverage social media experience. Thinking about moving to 1 of these areas:
Nashville-Jackson TN
Bowling Green KY
Albuquerque NM
Kingman-Flagstaff AZ
Amarillo-Dallas-Fort Worth TX
Tulsa-OK City OK
5 years ago, I was in the midst of my 2009 Route 66 road trip. I’ve been sharing pics from that journey on OC,SH daily:
https://www.facebook.com/OldCarsStrongHeartsThat was 1 of many road trips I did 2002-2011 to meet people in person, including some of you. My 2 most-recent trips were in 2010 & 2011:

Easy to hope someone is OK; challenging to reach out to them.
Easy to claim to be a good friend; challenging to show it.
Easy to wish you could help; challenging to actually do so.
Need to sell these 2 Caprice Classics ASAP; storage gone at the end of this month:
http://chicago.craigslist.org/nwc/cto/4623573271.htmlFor these parts, pickup or local delivery. Prices extremely negotiable; if not sold, parts will be dumped at a local junkyard:
http://chicago.craigslist.org/nwc/pts/4623575967.html"I can still hear us laughing on the front porch in the dark; there are days when I know I've traveled so far that I'll never find the road leading back to the start"
"I used to love this view, sit here & drink a few ... these sleepy streetlights on every sidewalk side street shed a light on everything that used to be"
"Somewhere in this city is a road I know where we could make it, but maybe there's no making it now ... I was only trying to bury the pain ... If the time could turn us around, what once was lost may be found ... We hit a wall & we can’t get over it, nothing left to relive."
"It's hard to say it, time to say it, goodbye; so hard to stay, so hard to leave"
