Guest guest Posted April 11, 2003 Report Share Posted April 11, 2003 Hi Gang! I have missed this group so much, but with everything that was going on at my house I had to take a break. Just to catch you up, I was laid off. I decided to spend the summer home with the kids and collect unemployment. Because I spent 2 years working for a non-profit, I was unable to collect, so I started interviewing. As I was being hired for a job (literally) my hubby was being let go. Also ineligible for unemployment as he was an independent contractor (although he didn't know that - very confusing expecting a W-4 and receiving a 1099 - especially since his boss figured his pay minus taxes). As many of you know, DH is a chiropractor so we are opening our own business again. His severence agreement said he could contact patients and promised pay through the end of March. We have not received his pay, but we did get a cease and desist order telling us to stop contacting patients - so now we have a lawyer and they have a lawyer... As for the weight loss side of things - I gave up my local support group. It has gotten too big and people are not benefitting. I have run it for three years. They are hoping to carry on, but their first meeting had only 6 attendees (including the two ladies running it). We shall see. A small group of us have formed a grad group, by invitation only. People we totally trust and can say anything to. It has been very nice. I have had to give up my gym membership (trying to conserve $$$) and have not exercised since I started my new job. Was hoping to walk in the evenings, but the weather here (burbs of Philly) has been so awful that I haven't done that either. Very, very frustrating. I hope to do some mall walking Saturday and Sunday morning, and then hopefully work in a a tape one or two mornings a week. I am glad to be back reading all of your knowledgable posts.
