Ahhh...your husband is a laborer...like my husband...he's lead sawman at a residential construction company...he used to be on roofs...I used to have to worry about him falling off it and injuring himself...now I just have to worry he'll be tired one day and make a mistake and saw off his fingers or something. Add to that...it only hits 106 in Tucson...heat stroke...skin cancer...he has tons of moles...so I'm always on top of him to get checked...use sunscreen...he never listens, though....typical male. If my husband ever hurt himself and couldn't work...my income wouldn't be enough to hang on to what we have...we need them both...we were just getting money saved and put away and then I got sick for 6 weeks. Thank God I had a little vacation time and a period of 2 weeks I can use short-term disability due to surgeory (if they don't fight me on this being a pre-existing disease before I got their insurance in April). Still, 3 weeks...no pay...dwindled what we saved. Time to start over. I hope your husband gets his surgeory soon.Eh, do they still use the word Kanucks? It's been so long...I left when Bob and Doug McKenzie were just coming out...too funny...huh. --- "Nancy E. Hale" <nanny@nbnet.nb.ca> wrote: >
