Communication with Husband after Layoff

Nov 09, 2009 - My husband recently got laid off from his job.  He is lucky because he was given 30 days to try and find a new position within the company before he's officially let go.  He has a prospective job in another area of the company, but I am not sure where everything stands.  He just won't communicate with me and let me know what's going on.  It's very hard for me to be in the dark about whether or not he will have a job in a couple weeks, and it feels like he has completely closed off communication regarding this job situation.  When I ask if he's heard anything, he is always very vague and claims that he doesn't have any new information, but there have been a couple times when I have seen over his shoulder that he has gotten emails from the people involved with this potential job, so there must be some sort of news.  How do I explain to him that behind left in the dark about our situation is really stressing me out? - 3 Comments

The Health Benefits of Pets in our Lives

Nov 16, 2009 -   Many of the benefits of pets — companionship, affection and so on — have been well known for centuries — even numerous ancient Egyptians cherished their companion animals. However, data gathered during only the last few years have shown just how significantly our health is improved if we share our lives with animals.   A study undertaken in 2002 by the Waltham Center for Pet Nutrition and United States Food and Drug Administration revealed that the heart rates and blood pressures of pet owners increased less when the individuals were presented with math problems to solve if their companion animals were present. - 18 Comments

The Dunn Debacle: Is Anita Dunn?

Nov 12, 2009 - Anita Dunn has proven to be one of Obama’s greatest assets and now perhaps one of his greatest mishaps. As a campaign consultant she boasted boldly during a Jamaican interview that “Obama’s camp controlled the media, ALL the media” and still does today….well perhaps aside from FOX News.    As a Democratic strategist, communications consultant, and is a partner of Squier Knapp Dunn Communications, a Washington-based consulting firm, Anita Dunn has been most recently Obama’s /the White House’s communications chief. Recently she quietly stepped down from her post, resigning and is attempting to tip-toe out of the building and her past revelations which I assert will haunt her and her career in the future.    What is her future? - 2 Comments
