Real men admit they LOVE cats

Jen, my chin hit the floor when I read about Charlie. My hubby lost his job of twenty years yesterday! We didn't see it coming and he had to actually leave yesterday. The second bad thing is I work for the same company and I'm praying that I don't get it next because then we will have nothing! I have been looking for work elsewhere but I was trying to be a little particular since I was working. I guess I'm going to have to let that go!
We don't have any savings either because we made enough to feed and care for the cats, pay the bills, and go out to dinner or a movie once in a while. There wasn't enough extra for us either.
Not only did hubby lose his paycheck but also benefits, retirement, life insurance, EVERYTHING!!!

I'm trying to remain positive though. I know that for every bad thing that happens something good will come from it. I have faith that this all happened for a reason and God has a plan for us. I'm hoping and praying that this just means hubby is going to find a better job and be happier in it. He is 54 years old and that scares him. He will be hitting the pavement today and going to the employment office as well.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to hijack your thread but I just wanted you to know that I know exactly how you feel. If you ever need to talk just let me know. I'm scared and I know you must be too.

PT people, Jen and I need your prayers please!

You can count on me, both of you!!!

You both are in my prayers. I am a firm believer that God does provide. Please keep us posted...you can send resumes my way if you want them done for free - I did one already for someone here at PT.

Just PM me for email.

BTW - Tad my darling husband loves cats and had 3 cats when I came to live w/him before we got married.

I'm sorry to hear about Charlie's job, Jen, but it's good that he has the other part-time one. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you both. I think you're right to keep him though, he obviously is a wonderful man! ;) :D

I've met Charlie, and believe me people.. it's not just cats and Jen that he loves and cares for. Remember when we met at the PA PT'ers meeting Jen? Who was the first one to give my BadgerBoy a bellyrub :D CHARLIE! You guys will be fine. Oh yeah, it will be a little tough for sure but there is strength in numbers and we are many and all behind you.

Charles,is a true Gentleman,and a Pet Guardian,that a lot of Pet talkers,could learn from,and we hope,and pray,that there is a good position,waiting,for a Good Man,to fill it.

You are in my prayers.

Jen, you and Charlie are in my prayers.

Jen and Lisa,

Prayers coming your way, guys! There is nothing more nerve wracking then to worry about whether you'll have your job or not. This economy under the BUSH administration surely sucks!!! And to think we've got another 4 years with this idiot. *sigh*
