That sounds great... during the dark ages, I used to love peanut
butter/banana sandwiches...

It's a rare indulgence but less than 200 calories with the way I do them.
Peanut butter is much better with milk and I can't deal with milk right
now.

I am very sorry to hear about what you are going through. The economy is
doing terrible everywhere, not just MA. My husband is a self employeed
carpenter and he has allot less work then he used to. Have you tried
applying at temp agencies? Maybe you can find the perfect job that way.
Many times, there are temp to perm jobs out there.

Do you have any money left from the bank account you opened on Sept 10,
before the tragedy?

I was laid off from my job in June, 2001. I took the money I had
and put it into starting a business. I worked all summer on it
then did final step, getting the bank account 4:00 PM Sept 10, 2001
(not making this up!)

I totally fed with my *profession* since I've been doing it almost
30 years (high stress, no life). I write software. I'm in the
trifecta: Worst economy, worst state for computer work in worst
economy, and I'm a white guy pushing 50 in a field that more and
more hires Asians and Indians, and lately, hires them oversees.

A back injury keeps me from taking manual-labor-type jobs to tide
me over until *something* comes along, and the temp-office places
say I'm overqualified, etc.

I live in Massachusetts, and though we're prone to deep recessions
that start sooner and end later than the rest of the country, I've
never seen anything like this. I submit resumes almost every day
and it's been literally six months since I've received one call,
even just an inquiry. ANd in my business, skills go obsolete
within a year or so.

I livin off (and rapidly depleting) my *retirement* account.

Has anyone here tried the peanut butter slice?. They
strike me as a good, calorie controlled way to get in a
little peanut butter. My willpower
isn't
good enough to keep the real stuff around. First
thing I know, I'm
digging
into it with a spoon. g I can't tell from the
wrapper if they have the
'good
fats' in them that I would like to get. My
tryglycerides are pretty high
and
I've been told by my doctor that peanut butter would
be an ideal fat. I
have
lowered my tryg. some in the last year from getting a
little nuts
occasionally,
and a serving of Smart Balance Margarine daily.
Incidentally, my
triglycerides
went way too high after 1 1/2 yrs of very low fat
dieting.
I did eat
about 3
oz of protein at dinner, and tuna, or a slice of fat
free ham at lunch.
But I
didn't get any other fats. I have read many places
since that this can
cause
the tryglicerides to jump sky high. Thanks for any
information. Beverly

Most of us grow up eating peanut butter and jelly
sandwiches!
I guess they still give kids that, though probably not as
much. Remember, peanut is neither a pea nor a nut.
Discuss.

I hate peas anyway.... Nut I do love Nuts. All
*kinds* of nuts. (w/ the exception of some phsycological
ones, although some are just plain funny)

But I LOVE peanut butter. Especially Reeses peanutbutter.
mmmm... peanut butter. And the other flavor I like is the
applecinnamon peanut butter.

But my recent favorite is to get the fresh ground natural
stuff from my local grocer, then add splenda to sweeten it
to my own taste. Less sugar content that way.






My kitchen is nearly bare all the time because of the stuff I
love, such as PB. And poverty, bare for that reason too!

I can sympathize with you in that my father has been going through the same
thing for the last 2 years. He finally took an entry level service job
while he's still looking for work in his field.

I don't know what the requirements are in your state, but have you
considered something like substitute teaching? Of course you'd have to deal
with a lot of crap from kids, but the subs I work with are never without a
job on days they want to work. They're in very high demand in a lot of
places. We have quite a few subs who are guys in your age bracket.

Anyway, I hope things turn around for you.

My favorite cultural food story:

I was travelling through Ireland with this English guy. We're
starving, so we stop in a bakery that makes sandwiches for take-away.

I get a chicken sandwich. I have to practically maim the clerk to
prevent her from putting butter on the bread. Yecch.

He asks for white bread. He, of course, does not prevent the clerk
from buttering the bread - in fact, he asks for extra. Then he asks
for cheese. Then he asks for tuna salad - you know, the kind that is
just tuna mixed with mayo?

He sees my expression of disgust as he takes a big bite of his tuna-y,
butter-y, mayonnaise-y cheesy sandwich, turns to me and says:

"You know what's the most disgusting thing you Americans eat? Those
peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwiches."

I'm an American and I prefer sandwiches with butter rather than mayo. : )

Thanks, Jenn

I don't know if I could handle teaching. I don't have a lot of
patience with kids. I like kids okay, but not enough to spend a
whole day with them. Though maybe I could tutor or something,
that's a thought.

I registered with one temp agency, but nothing much doing there. I
suppose I should try a couple more.

Regarding money, it's long gone. As I said, I'm living off my
retirement account, and I'm a long way from retirement.

At least you were wise enough to invest money in a retirement plan. I know
many people that have nothing in savings... Best wishes to you.
