Sorry don't want to sound like a dumb *** but what do you mean by redundant? fired?

[toystalker]

yup loss of job/income

thanks to the global meltdown we lost half of our customer base and now our supplier tells us they are shutting doors, with no supply we are high and dry

[vintage spideyfan]

Wow...sorry to hear that. Your family is in my thoughts.

[z3zep]

So sorry, Dave.... this economy is terrible, I hope things start to turn around soon.

[txteach]

Dave you and I turned out to be great friends after a rocky start and I truly feel for you mate. If I can help you in any way, let me know. BTW I have thought about the figure you offered me and will get back to you soon. Hang in there my friend.

[ScottA]

That sucks Dave. I hope you bounce back quickly.

[TEXASFETT]

Well I know the feeling as everything tends to be normal and then the next day its over.I have been there as well,and also gives a new chance do something different.Everything happens for a reason to everyone,and good luck!!!
