Sorry to read about this Lee! You`re young, crazy and full of ideas so look at this as a chance to do something new.

Sorry to hear that.
I know what you're feeling. I'm an architect, so crush in credits means no more bouldings... Here, in Poland is still not that bad, but it's like sitting on a ticking bomb...

many stores/jobs going away... was sent to me...

http://www.snopes.com/politics/business/storeclosings.asp

some is true so watch what gift cards you get & give this year…

I wanted to give everyone a heads up that if you tend to give gift cards around the holidays, you need to be careful that the cards will be honored after the holidays. Stores that are planning to close after Christmas are still selling the cards through the holidays even though the cards will be worthless January 1. There is no law preventing them from doing this. On the contrary, it is referred to as 'Bankruptcy Planning'. Below is a partial list of stores that you need to be cautious about.

Circuit City (filed Chapter 11)
Ann Taylor- 117 stores nationwide closing
Lane Bryant, Fashion Bug ,and Catherine's to close 150 stores nationwide
Eddie Bauer to close stores 27 stores and more after January
Cache will close all stores
Talbots closing down specialty stores
J. Jill closing all stores (owned by Talbots)
Pacific Sunwear (also owned by Talbots)
GAP closing 85 stores
Footlocker closing 140 stores more to close after January
Wickes Furniture closing down
Levitz closing down remaining stores
Bombay closing remaining stores
Zales closing down 82 stores and 105 after January
Whitehall closing all stores
Piercing Pagoda closing all stores
Disney closing 98 stores and will close more after January.
Home Depot closing 15 stores 1 in NJ ( New Brunswick )
Macys to close 9 stores after January
Linens and Things closing all stores
Movie Galley Closing all stores
Pep Boys Closing 33 stores
Sprint/Nextel closing 133 stores
JC Penney closing a number of stores after January
Ethan Allen closing down 12 stores.

Sorry Lee, hope all is well in the short term.

It's at times like these that I am grateful I stopped wanting to be an engineer and retrained as a Maths Teacher.  No matter how bad, or how low I think my wages are I will always have job security.

If you wanna earn silly money retrain as a plumber.  Mine is working all the hours possible, I have been waiting 3 weeks for him to fit us in!
