What do i do all day long? I go out and play. Hang out at the parks, hiking, working out, rode when it was still cool enough, go away for the weekends, do a lot of stuff i wanted to do but couldn't due to time constraints of working and chores on the weekend.

I decided to get a 2nd degree. Always wanted to go back to school for nursing but between taking care of my dad and then paying bills after he passed, i didn't have the time.

So now its a lot of studying. Plus lots of extracurricular reading- everything under the sun. Making plans to start another business. When school ends next week, i'll have 3 weeks of free time before the fall semester, so i'll try to start learning a new language.

Though my expenses are low so i can live off unemployment, the only thing i don't have is extra money to travel more.

So much to do, so little time! I fee like i have been given the gift of time!

Enjoy your time off Fleck!

Hey, btw how much did your check go down when you got on the extended benefits? I'm coming up on that in 3 months and am wondering what I should do...

Oh and to the effect UE is going to have on any possible soc sec benefits... um, I've worked my entire life since I was 15 years old, not counting new paper routes, 50+ years by retirement age and you're saying that the gov't is going to penalize me for being on unemployment for 6 or so months? I'm sure that it just gets averaged into my pay in amount. Besides, Besides, who would lose $3/hour now to avoid losing $3 a month in 25 years?
