Thanks! He has had a sort of rough year. He was laid off of work in January, but got a 6 month severance package. He took a job with another company, but told the boss off and walked out! My Dad used to work for American Greetings, he used to print greeting cards, then he went to work for Ernst and Young, he printed forms, letterheads, business cards and even their Christmas Cards. But in January, E&Y decided to outsource everything, leaving my Dad at 59 years of age and no job. When he took the last job, it was for a small company that really didn't give 2 cents about it's employees. So after a few months of mulling around the house and not doing much of anything, he decided to start his own business! They live in Bay Village and he is now, The Village Handyman. Basically, he can do all those little odds and ends that you can't do yourself, or don't have time to do! He's learned how to work a computer, spreadsheets, scheduling etc. Even set up his own bank acct with debit card! I asked him if he took today off and he said yes! I said, See it's good to the boss. And he said, Yeah, but sometimes he can be a real <male body part> I burst out laughing! You have to know my Dad!!

Back to check on the sheets again.....they got all balled up in the dryer and I had to restart them...I hate that!!!


Glad you're dad has found something to do with the new business. Sounds like its just what he needs.

Don't you love drying sheets?:rolleyes: I try and do them on my days off so then hopefully I can remember halfway through the cycle to check and flip them if needed. Maybe at my next house I'll get a clothes line.
 
GOOD for him for starting his own business!!!!!!! that's really awesome:goodvibes

Thanks! We are all very proud of him! He has been busy too! which is a good thing! Mom said he whole attitude is changed and he is slimming down some, since he is out working instead of home sitting/eating. She said he comes home tired and happy...that's all that matters!!!

Hi everyone! I'm only here for a few minutes. I was on about an hour ago, but as soon as I opened the boards, dh comes up and asks if I wanna take the dogs for a walk. So, off we went.

I should go count Alexas darn bears again, it's like a zoo in there! I even have a few myself. I think my son has 2.
