Ya me too. I have 4 days a week so unless I'm taking a trip somewhere I don't really need them. Taking the last week of June or one of the first two weeks of July off this year. I want to take out the 5th wheel and stay at the same spot for at least a week. Normally it's only two or three days. Maybe have some family come out as well. My mom and dad have already said they will join us.

That sounds like a good plan.. Not sure what or how many days a week I will work this spring and summer. Since we can only work 25, that should mean 4 6 hour days so there is a little fudge factor.

Your limit is 25 hrs a week? I only work 36.

I think our oldest daughter wants to come out as well. That means the July time off would be better.

Since the Obama thing, part time can not exceed 25 hours.. I used to get 30-36 a week before this.

Ya I do too. It may get more people working but in the long run it will cost the companies more money.

I guess a lot would depend on what type of benefits the part time people get.

No I don't think so. I'm still waiting for the motivation for my kitchen.

Mine is small right now.. Got the walls painted, makes a big difference. From all white to the medium gray on the upper part.. Makes my imitation stained glass window look even better.

Amazing what just a gallon or so of paint can do.
