My wife made me make a promise not to drink until she's here but I got permission to smoke

That's good! lol Marlon does not drink but he knows I do once every blue moon.

Nagi: I tried Calgon too and it DIDN'T WORK! Dang misleading commercials!!!

I was offered a promotion to come to Mexico and help start-up this plant. All of my personal friends tried to talk me out of it and said that they'd let me go After I got everyone trained where they needed to be. I refused to listen and thought it was the opportunity of a lifetime. After 9 months is when I started having problems. The manager even told me several times that I made too much money. He gave me a bad review this year and I didn't even get my raise. They cut me Thursday......I was surprised...but not surprised. The town I live in is small and there are no jobs because all of the industry is across the border. I was salaried and I was fired on the last day of the month so I have no money coming my way. The lady at the unemployment office said I would probably not qualify for unemployment. All of bills will be due the 1st of month and my fiance will have an interview coming up one of these days and then AOS after that. I don't even know if they would approve AOS now. I'm so screwed. Please pray for me!!

I got layed off after I came back from my wedding from pakistan when I had just signed a new lease for my apt as well. I prayed and cried to god for help and found a better job where I am much appreciated. I will say a prayer for but nothing tops what we pray for ourselves from out heart

but I can't go back to my home plant, because I've now been fired. I have almost 18 years with this company...I've never had another job so I have no other skills.

Are the opportunities better to work in the US again, or find another position in Mexico?

I know none of us can even come close to feel what you are going through right now but i must say that God understands and he loves you more then anyone and he is the most merciful and beneficient
