Yeah, it's hard here as well. We've just been told that the recession is over - HAHAHA - unemployment is at 12.5 % and many who are working are on forced unpaid furloughs part of the year. People trying to make a living in the arts are up against it big time.

DON'T worry Charley..... It's not anything you can do about it now..... Every country that signed on to democracy, got robbed by the Banks and Stock Market, they sold your Government pieces of real-estate, that didn't belong to anyone, but the Money went to someone.... Now all those Counties will have to close down alot of things to clear that loss from there books by the end of the year, or the next election.... Pension Funds, and income from Tax's were spent trying to make Money and they got robed...... It's going to take 10 yrs. at lest to recover....... From me to you.... Do what you've got to do, to get what you need done..... Be Happy in this Sad World any way you can......
