Is the Stimulus Package going to help? I’ ve heard so many “talking heads” that are supposed to be experts say that things are probably not going to improve before the end of this year! That’s just wonderful… I’ ve thought about getting a little job on the side to help make ends meet until things get better. I have limitations on the type of work I can do now since I had my “heart incident.” I have training as a Medical Assistant, as well as a Certified Nursing Assistant.

I am so proud beyond belief of how the first black “First Family” is conducting themselves. What an inspiration it is to see Mrs. Michelle Obama on the cover of Vogue! How wonderful it is to see those adorable little girls and how smart, respectful and well-behaved they are...
