The town in which I live was once known as the sock capital of the world. That is until all the Free Trade Agreements sent our companies running overseas and to Central America where the labor and real estate are cheaper. If there was another world war we no longer have the factories here to convert to defense building plants. We no longer make things! It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that our economy is dieing because we no longer produce anything. The fewer people in the work force paying taxes only creates a drain on our country. We have got to find a way to bring jobs back to the states, that's the only way to bring our economy and standard of living back. I can remember when there was 125 sock mills in this town. If you lost you needed a job you had no problem finding one. Now there are only 5 left and it has had a devastating effect on the town and it's dwindling population. One by one more and more businesses are closing and work is getting harder and harder to find. We have got to find a way to bring our jobs back state side or there will be more and more towns like mine that was once the home to something.
Fixing up My Space
My son and his family have been gracious enough to allow me to live with them since I have come back to Alabama. We have finally gotten things moved around in the basement so that I can create myself an efficiency apartment. There are so many things that I want to add to my space. I've been looking for stuff online and have found several sites that have a lot of things that I want. I found one site called "tiger direct" they have such neat and affordable stuff! I don't have a lot of cash to spend so I have to look for ways to save on all the things I buy. I also need a new bed! I have my own bathroom that I want to dress up. So now that I will have a regular pay check coming in I'll be able to do lots of the things to really turn my space into a home. Have A Blessed Day!
