Michael,
This might sound crazy but back when I was an Amway dealer and drew circles. We would put a picture of our dream or wish on the fridge and look at it every day. I now live in a ski town and have my business there and am no longer with---well you get the picture.
Keep positive thoughts and look in the mirror every morning and smile.

I am sure you thought of this, but is there something you like to do, or could do, and start up your own business? So many elderly people always have projects needing to be done. Good luck, think positively, and be sure to let everyone you talk to know that you are looking for a job.
DALE.
You don't have to be Scottish to be comfortable!

Most people today don't know or don't care whether every door of their house is a separate key. They just go to Agent Orange and buy however many sets they need, change them out and throw the old away. Makes me sick to see top of the line locksets trashed for cheap low quality imports to be put on a door. The real kicker is that they do this to high end designer houses. I now see them only when they can't figure out how to put a cheap key in knob in place of a three stage mortise lock. After a visit to one of these that I redid all the locks to one key, including the original front door mortise set, the homeowner asked me how this could happen. It took three quarters of an hour to explain that what we do is make locks work correctly.
We need to return to local business with local (kilted?) tradesmen.
I hope all improves for you. I hope that that you will soon be able to sponsor a mortgage burning party... I know ours was the best day of our financial lives.
Cheers, and love.
That same argument can also be applied to kiltmakers..... It might cost more than $50, but it's worth every penny for the experience and the quality you get.
Best of luck with your current troubles Warlock. I hope it all works out for you.
