Lorraine Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 (edited) My husband couldn't get out the front door today. He kept locking it instead of opening it and couldn't figure out what he was doing wrong. He finally asked me to see if I could open the door. It opened right up. This is the man who thinks he can drive his truck and operate machinery. The damage to his brain is considerable and much worse than I was told it was.

blueschica Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 My child and their spouse both worked for the same company and both have been let go. Their company is liquidating due to being closed so long for corona virus so everyone is losing their jobs. Each of them should be able to find something else (fingers crossed!) but I hate to see them go through this. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Principled Man Posted July 7, 2020 Author Share Posted July 7, 2020 An Amber Alert was sent thru Wisconsin last night. The frantic search yielded bad results. The 10-year old girl's body was found in her town of Baraboo just two hours ago. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's really depressed about it since he is already 50 and it would be hard to find another job that will pay the same at his age. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a very close friend who is suffering from Alzheimer's. A once intelligent and successful man is slowly being ravaged by this awful disease. My heart is with you right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother and his wife both work for an aerospace company here locally, both in their upper 50's and prospects are not looking good for the company. They are expecting bad news imminently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many are being affected by this and it seems like for years to come also. I agree, 50 is a hard age to have to start over again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry, zepphead. That is a double impact when they both work for the same company, and makes it very hard, I think. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many are being affected by this and it seems like for years to come also. I agree, 50 is a hard age to have to start over again. I’ve not worked since mid-March... The NY / NJ area is just starting to come back. Just in time for the pending resurgence, lol! I’ve written this year off and am pretty confident for things to pick up. Well, it did give me time for a massive Dylan marathon. Silver linings! :) :) :) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
