One of Darrell's friends recently commented how we're lucky we get to stay home. He likely meant "stay home and do nothing", which couldn't be further from the truth. But, he's correct in that we are lucky. What job exists that would permit both Darrell and I to do what we do and to touch lives in the way we do? The answer: probably none! I'm almost there; I can almost taste it! Then all of the loser employers can eat my dust! ;) Thanks Loree and everyone!

I loved every word of this. Those employers took the easy way out and hired "safe" which means they probably got fast typists who show up at 8 and leave at 5 and don't give a damn about the business or products they sell once they are out of the office. Too bad for them. They blew it. Keep fighting. But you've already shown how foolish they were to pass on your enthusiasm and skills. What an uplifting post! I loved every word of this.

When he was laid off due to age discrimination he was never again able to find work. His handicap also played a role. I applaud your gutsy effort and your spunk. Good things come to those who wait. I hope so anyway because I may now have dystonia. But today I'd say you gave me hope. My father also had the same you condition you have.
