Well knew I made a mistake yesterday. In my email I shared something about the kids & their volunteer work. H emails me today saying volunteer work is great, but shouldn't I be spending the time looking for a job? Then I sent a paragraph email defending myself: the truth is there are such few jobs around here, mostly just layoffs, I've been applying to the few a week that are available, leaving time for volunteer work. I resolve to go hard-core NC from now on b/c of course then he wouldn't have felt like I opened up myself for criticism or comment!!!! Karen
