Nonetheless I will spend ours. <strong>Julie</strong> - congrats to Rob :-) When we were in Mexico last month for vacation we indulged in a couples massage, it was wonderful!! You're absolutely right, that's at least one industry that can't be outsourced! <strong>Heidi</strong> - you're welcome :-) <strong>Otto</strong> - it's very sad for America, we use to be the biggest producers in so many industries, now all gone. <strong>Kirk</strong> - lol what kind of homegrown are we talking here ;-) Grandalfe – that’s one drink I’ve never tried, not even in my younger days

Just today, he read that Hershey is going to be outsourcing to Mexico, also. Even many IT jobs have outsourced to India. Things like WHEAT are even purchased from China, while OUR farmers are being paid NOT to produce... It seems that it does not leave much to us Americans. On a high note, though, Rob graduated from Massage Therapy School just recently. We can not only gamble and drink our money away, but we can all go for massages! That is one of the types of jobs that cannot be oursourced! Thanks for sharing. I will definitely be passing this joke along!

Beth Young Sat, 05 Apr 2008 02:43:09 +0000 http://elainesplace.net/?p=467#comment-2056 Well, we are going to use ours to pay the high cost of Canadian living. This is approximately one third more than the cost of American living, even though the dollar is supposed to be around equity, and that doesn't include the much higher tax and fee you to death rate. This includes the Canadian Health Care, (similar to American state welfare programs), that doesn't include your eye care, teeth care, or medications, which you have to purchase extra health care for. Don't get me started on what else is NOT included. At least American welfare clinics will give you free samples of high quality prescription medicine. Any left over splurge has already gone to purchasing imported good old Virginia Peanuts from Williamsburg, and books and videos from the good old U.S.A.! Laughing with REBA will help ease the pain.
