Sorry I've Been Gone-tough Times!


OK, my dear fish friends....you have ALL heard me say that there are NO FRIENDS like fish friends. I learned this to be FAR more reaching 9 days ago. My wife of over 20 years served me with divorce papers and emptied my entire homes except my fishroom and she left me an old kitchen table and my bed. My 18 year old son and his pregnant girlfriend went with her. The baby is due this Saturday.

I seek no sympathy, I'm working to find a couple of full-time jobs until Level-Loc takes off..It's a new business and is doing well...but it will be a year or two. If any of you are considering a topoff...NOW would be a GREAT time to buy! OR, if you know of a job with health insurance that I could get, please let me know! I'm trying to keep the house and the tank intact. HOWEVER, my mortgage is $1,305.15.

I'll be at the frag swap at Wino's on Sunday! As always, if I have any corals you want frags from, please let me know! Thanks for being my friends!

Phil

Seems like you are doing the right thing. Move forward, set a goal and focus.

Hope everything works out!

Have you thought about any local government work? Usually governments have opening from IT to manual labor or even a detention officer. The health insurance is usually great unless you live in an area with a declining economy... Just a thought. Hang in there!
