I Am Thankful: For The Wife Who Says It’s Hot Dogs Tonight, Because She Is Home With Me, And Not Out With Someone Else. For The Husband Who Is On The Sofa Being A Couch Potato, Because He Is Home With Me And Not Out At The Bars. For The Teenager Who Is Complaining About Doing Dishes Because It Means She Is At Home, Not On The Streets. For The Taxes I Pay Because It Means I Am Employed . For The Mess To Clean After A Party Because It Means I Have Been Surrounded By Friends. For The Clothes That Fit A Little Too Snug Because It Means I Have Enough To Eat. For My Shadow That Watches Me Work Because It Means I Am Out In The Sunshine For A Lawn That Needs Mowing, Windows That Need Cleaning, And Gutters That Need Fixing Because It Means I Have A Home . For All The Complaining I Hear About The Government Because It Means We Have Freedom Of Speech. For The Parking Spot I Find At The Far End Of The Parking Lot Because It Means I Am Capable Of Walking And I Have Been Blessed With Transportation . For My Huge Heating Bill Because It Means I Am Warm. For The Lady Behind Me In Church Who Sings Off Key Because It Means I Can Hear. For The Pile Of Laundry And Ironing Because It Means I Have Clothes To Wear. For Weariness And Aching Muscles At The End Of The Day Because It Means I Have Been Capable Of Working Hard. For The Alarm That Goes Off In The Early Morning Hours Because It Means I Am Alive. ---

LOL @ prior 2 posts. Jack Handy type talk def is an attempted sanity mechanism. Travis…in most cases your ex employer pays the unemployment benefit so it’s not tax payers money or government money, at least a bunch of it anyhow. And by working for a company and paying into the tax pool and what not you do EARN the benefit of unemployment insurance. It’s not the gift many presume it is FWIW. ---

> [@travisn](#): > > For The Fact That I Dont Know The Unemployment System > Because That Means I Have Always Had A Job > > (not attacking you traderbase) I know dude…no attack perceived. That’s a good thing that you’ve never been laid off. I hope you get to keep it that way forever. 🙂 I didn’t know much about the system before getting into the stock market/economy, being laid off after 10 years service and dating a girl with a father that pays out the ass for unemployment benefits for his small biz he owns (2-5 workers). They almost make it impossible for a small biz to succeed with all the unemployment and workers comp insurance a biz needs to pay for. He does construction so the comp insurance is a killer. I have no leech skills like some people out there that pass down information on how to rip off the system, generation after generation. I come from a working class family and I have worked hard at all my jobs. I was blown away at this past lay off. The department head and my manager both went to the bean counters and said they needed me back…they were shut out. Silver lining cause I’m loving the new job at UB. 🙂 ---
