My wife has it. I am FB free. But second-hand FB has been proven to cause cancer.
This is what is done in my street too.

Just received a phone call before my shift started to tell me I'm being laid off. And just 5 years short of retirement.
What is/was your job?

I was the second shift supervisor for Collins Aerospace.

Sorry to hear that, I can understand the feeling as I was 45 when I was forced out of Aircraft Maintenance Job I had for 20+ years. Just keep your options open and think about what else you may be interested in doing that your skills would translate to. I changed career paths in my mid 40's. I know it would be more difficult to do now in my 60's. I wish you good fortune in what ever you decide to do.

Very sorry to hear that Bill. Agree with above. I was 52 when I lost my last job of 22yrs. Ended up mining for 14yrs

Unfortunately, this isn't my first layoff... it's actually my 4th. I'm already a jack of all trades. Now just need to find something to do for 5 years or less.

Bummer but hopefully you are able to pick up something worthwhile in the near future/
Best of luck.
In about an hour or two about to get hammered by the first major storm of the year. Already getting dark.
Expecting 70 mph sustained winds, gusts to 100 mph, golf ball size hail or larger, and strong tornadoes.
Par for the course for the Midwest, but still meh…

I'll be arriving at Lambert International on April 4. See if you guys can clear up the weather by then, please.
How long will you be there?

Today I was driving back home after having a nice lunch with a friend. I came to an intersection at US 1 that featured not only a traffic light but also a RR crossing. We now have high speed trains traveling along that route on a regular basis, at up to 80 mph. There have been many cases of collisions with automobiles, including a month that featured two fatal accidents at the same crossing one week apart. We always ask how people could be so stupid. Today I found out it ain't always stupidity on the part of the drivers.
The traffic light turned green but an instant later the RR warning lights activated. The cars to the East of the tracks sped off. I was in the first rank of cars to the West of the tracks. I had a Sheriff's patrol car to my Left and a big pickup truck to my Right. I could not see down the tracks but no train came. No crossing arms came down and I don't even know if they have any there. Finally the big pickup to my Right sped across the tracks. The Sheriff car on my Left did so a moment later. I looked each way down the tracks and could see nothing, so I sped across.
This is EFFING STUPID! No wonder people are being killed! The RR crossing lights go off and there is no train! But maybe there is and you can't see it! I still want to know why if there are flashing lights and sirens on police cars and fire trucks and ambulances but they can't friggin put them on THE TRAINS!!!!!
Any WHY would you have the traffic lights turn Green when the road is blocked by the RR warning lights? THIS IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE AND I DAMN WELL OUGHTA KNOW! This is friggin LIONEL or AMERICAN FLYER science! RADIO SHACK could have come up with better systems!

Keep safe
Got pretty wild. At least 5 tornados touched down. One was heading toward our town, but dissipated a few minutes out. Even the Tv weather studio had to evacuate to a shelter.
One of the tornados damaged a friends house.
We are all clear now though…
