I totally agree with you PG...it’s hard when you’re freelancing though. Now I have some work coming in...but looking for work sucks more energy out of you than doing the work!

Freelance work - though it is unpredictable, it is stimulating but it can be hard on the nerves and the budget!

I agree with your last comment tater..and I feel sorry for those people who live in the US without health insurance...peoples lives can change in an instant..
