Are You Wondering Where the Jobs Are in 2010?

As most of you already know, 2010 has coming in like a lion with most of the country in freezing conditions.  Well the job market isn’t any better.  2009 went out in flames (not flames of glory) and 2010 is coming in on a slow track of little opportunity for those looking for a job.

Many are not only looking to find a job, but possibly a change of career as well.  Although change is inevitable, we still don’t like it, because the unknown is scary.  According to Briefing.com a leader in market trends and breaking news, we can expect another loss of 35,000 jobs.

Actually, according to an article in CNN.com, most economists are not expecting an improvement in employment for the next few years:

The Swine Flu and GBS

I have a real problem with the lack of attention and media coverage regarding GBS (Guillain-Barré Syndrome).  Although the media has regarded H1N1 (the Swine flu) as an unknown entity, it has been around since the 1970’s.  One of the side effects of the vaccine at that time was GBS: according to Wikipedia, “It is an autoimmune disorder affecting the peripheral nervous system, usually triggered by an acute infectious process.”  Okay so I am not even going to try to explain what that means, so I will provide a link for you to do the research on Guillain-Barré Syndrome.

15 Year Old Boy Set On Fire

Five boys were arrested after setting another boy on fire

When I first heard the story of this 15 year old boy being burned by 5 other boys, I was shocked, then saddened.  How could any child think it is okay to put another person on fire?  Who are the mothers of these kids and why aren’t they going to jail as well.  Then I remembered my son’s experience 3 years ago with 5 of his friends.  He didn’t get burned, but he was attacked by them on his way home from school.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Hi to all my Girlz, which is including every one of the female gender.  As you already know October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and I wanted to give you all a reminder to get your breast exam done.  A routine self-examination to detect any breast lump is necessary.  However, if you are 30 years old or older and haven’t had your first exam by a medical professional, please take care of it right away. 

A recent episode of “The View” with E. D. Hill as a guest host, was both shocking and enlightening.  She spoke openly about her family history with breast cancer and her decision to have a double mastectomy.
