[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 567548, member: 1514"] I think he really needs to be closer to his job. Right now he is driving close to 30 miles each way to work and that is a long way. It would make more sense for him to either move closer to his job or if his job is likely to be closing as he says he thinks it might, decide to move down to where his girlfriend lives in Myrtle Beach. Surely to God he could find some sort of job down there doing retail sales with 5 years experience. He could get unemployment for 20 weeks while he looks because she lives like 10 miles from the state line and he could just drive into NC to get the unemployment from here. If the store closes he will lose his job. I really think him moving down there is a better idea not only because of her but he has another friend down there that is really his best friend even if it is a female. No there isnt any romance there. She is married but they have been friends since like 9th grade. Actually if he moves down there he will hook up with more of his old classmates because that is where he went to most of his high school years. I dont have much in the way of things to give him because everything I have is second hand. We do have freecycle and I can look online for him that way. Also down in Myrtle Beach they have an amazing array of services for people and his girlfriend is a disabled vet. She just got out of the army last March I think. Maybe February.
