I appreciate the comments everyone is posting. It helps to hear some encouragement and support. I am still unemployed and unemployment compensation is due to run out at end of March. Now I am planning to move BACK to Maryland and hope I can find something QUICKLY that will even pay as much as $15,000 less than I was making before so I can at least get back to work. And someone suggested maybe NOT doing the office work that I'm accustomed to. Well, I've been racking my brains to figure out if there is anything else I would be able to qualify for. Factory work isn't an option, no factory work anywhere near where I'd be living. Government job would be ideal but the application process online is so convoluted they are obviously trying to weed out the stupid people and apparently one of them would be me as I cannot get through the applications. Too many KSA's, etc. to deal with.

I'm not too proud to work any kind of physical labor or retail, I've done retail. However, I have foot problems that I believe would prohibit me from being on my feet for a retail position. So I need to stick with what I know--office work.

I've sold Avon part-time for 22 years, but it has been a spare job, I don't want to do it to support me, plus people just aren't ordering luxuries like they did two years ago. My part time business has dwindled away to nothing.

So, I'm praying my unemployment compensation will get extended ONE MORE TIME, to give me a chance to move back to Maryland, and get some kind of job. At least the cost of living is more reasonable there. I can truly understand the mixed blessing of living near a military base, but I am not one of their retiree's that can survive on minimum wage...
