"Well it's alright, even if you're old and gray..."

I received good news last week...I was finally approved for unemployment compensation. After Five months of back and forth, contacting my State and local representatives, nasty letters and plenty of breaking down, I was elated to see some money in our account. Yippie!

Now I can go buy that sixty-inch plasma TV!

Kidding.

I can finally eat again.

Not kidding.

Great news, it's about time!

Will the food at least be caviar and filet?

Great news, I hope they are going to give you guys compensation for the five months. Proud of the way you guys stood up to them.

I nearly got arrested, but in the end I was finally able to make them see things your way. You can thank me and cousin Guido later.

Tim- I will leave it to the chef...if I had my way it would be pancakes and eggs every night. But, that's why Pixie does most of the cooking.

Cindy- Most of those five months. I was not going to lay down easily.

Nobody- That was going to be my next step. Thanks for looking out for me.
