Keep looking and moving forward. Spend a short time feeling sorry for yourself, then start making plans.

Kurt,
Your the best! Great advice. I get back from a war and have no job. But I gotta admit, there is so much to be grateful for anyway. I am selling all kinds of stuff and doing OK. Job picture looks good. The only thing I miss is having someone, i.e. significant other or wife to share it with.
I ADMIRE your helping your wife. I am glad she has you. Let her know that I, as well as others here, are routing for the two of ya!!! So when you are old, the two of ya will be that hand holding couple that inspires us all.
