SO? ... What do you want for Christmas?

A trip to RAF Museum, Hendon and a full day's life in the camera's battery pack. That would do!
 
If I could have ANYTHING? I’d ask for my left leg (below the knee) back. Unfortunately that ship sailed around 20 years ago. Something temporal? A pair of CH rudder peddles.
 
I have no wants or needs. Linda and I buy all through the year...lol. We donate to the homeless and we take one family a year and supply their complete Christmas Holiday.
 
All I want for Christmas this year is to NOT have to hear "Twelve Days of Christmas" repeated ad infinitum in all four-hundred and seventy three renditions/variations... :ernae:
 
What I'd like to have most of all would be a job, it doesn't even have to be a decent job just one that will let me work. I look everyday both on and off line and submit resumes/applications for everything that I have even the slimmest amount of knowledge in, that works out to about 30-45 a week, nationwide. The only thing I have even heard back on was an interview at a local Home Depot as a part-time seasonal cashier, I didn't get it by the way. So I am still looking for anything, I really wanted to give my grandson a nice Christmas this year and while I can make it nice as far as being with family goes, I won't be able to give him much of anything.

SXF - MAD on an Easyjet A319. And I'll be getting it, since the flight is already booked. All my parents need to do now is give me the money, lol.

Also, a dumbbell set.
 
Ouch...that is tuff....I wish ya well in looking..Mike

Have you considered the possibility of doing some FS design work, at least as a source of some income?

In any case, prayers for your success in finding work will be offered!
 
Same as CADFather. A job. It has been while since I have gotten a regular paycheck. Here's to hoping 2011 brings better times. :ernae:

I've thought about it, but I really don't know how to get started with it. Well at least the making money part of it anyway, I can handle the software, I just never knew who to ask.

I do appreciate all the prayers and well wishes, the warmest and most heartfelt thank you goes out to all.

Why yes I have, I've got an old business partner that is doing that and loves it. He's working for someone else and can't get me on with him though. Actually the technology field is about dead here in the Chattanooga Area. The jobs that do get listed are filled by guys with way more education than I have, that are coming out of the Detroit area. The last drafting type position that I interviewed for, the company hired an Engineer with a master's degree for $15.00 hr. and he was happy to get it. I am friends with another department manager at that company and even with him on the inside as it were, they couldn't pass up all that education for that little money.

At this point I'd bag groceries if there was anyone hiring for it. I've even applied at McDonald's and several other fast food places, with no luck on finding anything, yet.

Well, since this is just a Christmas wish....

I want a 1200 gallon, 20 foot long fish tank, complete with a monster wet/dry filtration system, and stocked with a nice selection of Amazon River Basin fish in the 6 to 12 inch range...Oscar, Severum, Threadfin Geophagus, Blue Acara, Port Acara, Armored Catfish, Redhook Silver Dollars, and so on and so forth. Been my dream to have a monster Amazon Biotope set up.
