Smelf commented on Jason Black's group 'Authors and Editors'

I call it frog-in-the-pot syndrome, when I don't pay attention to changes until they're boiling hot. I was laid off by a traditional publisher nearly two years ago. I had other freelance jobs to draw on, so I didn't really read that event for what...

Interesting group! I'm 5 years away from retirement age, am ordained and serve a church part-time. I couldn't get health insurance if I served full-time because the denomination sets one chance to opt-in, when you are ordained. Eighteen years ago...

I don't have a FT or even a PT job available. However, I do have some ad-hoc projects for Excel 2007 guru's that know how to work pivot tables. This will be an ONGOING and INDEFINITE thing for the right person. Since I am currently stationed in G...

mdmslle replied to mike's discussion 'Possibly Vacant Bakery...Ideas?' in the group Entrepreneurial Kossacks

i would research why they went out of business first. Is there a lack of traffic? What was their price point? and what would you do differently to make your shop better? Could you make it a hang-out plus a bakery? Be creative but consider the requ...

Amy Beard replied to mike's discussion 'Possibly Vacant Bakery...Ideas?' in the group Entrepreneurial Kossacks

In a recent article in the LA Times, one bakery that had been in business for 50 years went out of business after the price of flour doubled. So, perhaps the margin of profitability went down for your local bakery as well...it may be worth asking ...

Possibly Vacant Bakery...Ideas?

A local bakery has hit some hard times and might be going out of business. The current owners are very broad - they do catering as well as a variety of cakes/cupcakes and pies, plus sandwiches. A friend who is also unemployed had suggested we tak...

Sick For Profit

CIGNA’s Edward Hanway spends his holidays in a $13 million beach house in New Jersey. Meanwhile, regular Americans are routinely denied coverage for the care they need when they need it most.

Welcome to the American health insurance industry. Instead of helping policyholders attain the health security they need for their families, big insurance companies get rich by denying coverage to patients. Now they’re sending lobbyists to Washington, DC to twist the arms of lawmakers to oppose reform of t… Continue

Yin and Yang

That's how my surreal, disjointed life has been--life with bipolar disorder since childhood and now arthritis and fibromyalgia.

I'll begin at the beginning. It's interesting how oce you've been diagnosed with something, you look back at your life and see certain things in a different light. I was born in 1957, and back in the 60's when I was a kid, nobody knew there was such a thing as bipolar in children. And in adults it was called manic-depression--the term "bipolar disorder" didn't come int… Continue

Girls. girls. girls....

nternational Women's Day was recognized by the Obama administration in the most significant of ways: the creation of a council to "provide a coordinated federal response to the challenges confronted by women and girls and to ensure that all Cabinet and Cabinet-level agencies consider how their policies and programs impact women and families."

"The purpose of this Council is to ensure that American women and girls are treated fairly in all matters of public policy," said President Obama. "My Adm… Continue

Unemployment and Depression

Whatever the reason for becoming unemployed, leaving your job can be stressful. Recent studies indicate a high percentage of individuals will develop a depressive illness within six months of becoming unemployed. In fact, after relationship difficulties, unemployment is the most likely thing to push someone into a bad depression. This isn’t surprising, since work is often a significant source of an individual’s sense of worth and self-esteem. When you lose your job you risk going from a position… Continue

Welcome!

I created this site after reading a heartbreaking post on DailyKos. My idea is to create a gathering place to share job opportunities, services, resources, network, find and give support. My hope is that we will build real community here. Create a blog, add discussions, start a group, add pictures of your kids and pets, make this your place.

The site will work only if everyone contributes and if we all help spread the word. Obviously, we don't market or advertise this site other than occasional… Continue

When bad can be good

Some might have noticed that I've seemed scarce lately. I haven't been well and have been struggling to manage the minimum in my daily life. I live with Chronic Neuro-Pschiactric Lyme, for those that don't know, and due to very late detection, I've got a tenacious case. After doing somewhat better with a new treatment plan that began last summer, I started to plummet in the late fall and got increasingly worse over the holiday season. In a weird way, this might have been a good thing.

You see,… Continue

Resisting Re-Entry

Was there a national 'zone out' zeitgeist over this holiday season? It seemed like everyone really checked out big time. Here in Boston, the public schools had an extended break due to snow and ice way back in mid-December. So, the kids were all home for 17 days. That's enough time to completely pull you out of your regular routines. No one seemed to resist the pull. My neighbor around the corner and I were making calls to each other over the course of those days saying, "OK, one of us has to ge… Continue

What can we do about healthcare?

I have no answers to that question, but I would love this community to begin thinking about this. I KNOW we could come up with creative ways to help people with healthcare needs. There is a front page diary on DKos about his today.

I have confidence that Obama will do something about healthcare, but I know it will take time and not solve the immediate crisis many people are experiencing now.

The stories and the sufferi… Continue
