Well if you have been listening to the news
I have not so good news to say
unfortunately the UAW (Rod's work union)
has decided on a nation wide strike at of 10 am this morning
This means my husband has no job at the moment
and no what so ever medical benefits
be praying for us and the 73,000 other American workers

with the Corvette plant on strike the company loses
3 million a day just at this plant
It is the first nation wide strike during negations since
the late 70's (I think 78)
GM is going to loose billions a week

The workers stand to lose everything they have,
and everything they have worked for.

Pray for all of us

blessings

Angie, I heard about this earlier. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers as well as my extended family.

Hopefully, they will keep communications open and keep going to the table.

Take care,

Unfortunately the bargaining table is closed. No negations until next Monday. We just herd about 20 mins ago from our union hall.Tomorow morning Carl is to walk the picket line and fortunately Rod has other duties to be fulfilled later next week. And yes pray for everyone some people will have it much worse than us.

This is so scary Rod has never been without a job or on strike before. a

Hang in there A. Hopefully, the strike won't last too long. They are meeting and bargaining almost every hour, including this morning.

Yeah we got some conflicting news yesterday the local said no meeting until Monday then on the news they said they were. I'll know more here in a bit Carl just left to start his picket duty so he will call if there is any news but it's great they went back to the table.a

I want to live in Bexley

Of course you will not know this song however i must express myself I want to live in Bexley So I can drive a big car I want to live in Bexley So I can act like a big star At least that's the way I remember the parody song in my head. This lovely song was composed by two male disk jockeys who hosted the pop music station in my home town. At the time Bexley was "the" place to live. So those who cant afford to live there naturally make fun of the people who do (do men really change as they grow older?) Today I was thinking about that song clipie and I went to Springhill Tn, drove through Franklin Tn, then we came to two little towns called Brentwood and Oak Hill. I must say I have seen some huge homes in my time I've been to parade homes worth millions and had more than 10,000 sq feet so yes I've seen big. However I have never seen a community of homes so big I would not be able to gander upon how big they were. Let my try to compare most of them, they made ou...

I have a few great announcements our niece Raven (Rod's side of the family the one who got married in July) Is going to make us a Great Aunt and Uncle (again, his niece Tiffany has had two children already but I'm happy to play the part again) And it looks like Rod job is very stable for the next 8 years I have been sweating that one out for a while, his union contracts are not settled (yet) I'm thinking after yesterdays announcement we should be fine.

A lot like life don't you think? blessings a
