No display this year

[beeiilll]

Well as much as I hate to admit it, I will not be having a display this year.

I was hoping that things would turn around and get better but there is just no way I can do a display this year.

I tore up a hand a couple of months ago and have a couple broken tendons in it which makes working tough to say the least. No insurance so looks like this will be a "live with it" thing for me.

I have also been suffering from depression since there has not been a lot of work this year here and I am struggling just to make my minimum monthly payments on things as well as a few other factors which have been a burden on me.

I was hoping to at least get some lights up but it is tough to do and the weather is really starting to go downhill this week.

So I guess just have to hope the next year improves and see what happens.

I wish you all a safe and happy holiday season. Hopefully I will be back next year better than ever.

Sorry to hear. I hope things turn around fast for you. I was out of work for 10 months, but I had no health challenges.

May God bless you and your family this year.

I'm hoping 2011 is a better year for everyone. I hope you have a fast recovery, but don't push yourself too hard and cause delays in the healing process. Best of luck and Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas. Stay in touch and let us know how you're doing.

That's good advice Bill - couldn't have said it better myself. They say that misery is the best medicine... or best company, or best some darn thing anyway, I don't know... But what I was getting at is that anytiome you want to add misery to a perfectly fine day just let us know and we'll see what we can do... Ridicule, sarcasm, helpful ideas, unhelpful ideas, we've got you covered in all directions. Until then, don't slip on the ice or ear any yellow snow. Try to make tomorrow just a little better - heck, it might even work.
