85. Hi - sorry to here about this, I feel badly for you

The first thing you have to do is not blame yourself, or devalue yourself in front of you.

It's a shit system we have here, and regular workers are at the short end of the stick. It's not your fault, it's just the way it is.

In my city, there is a local retail hardware store were I see plenty of young plus a few years locals hired, of both sexes, and those that are not hardware experts run the cash register. This is a locally run True Value store. The whole ownership of the store is run in a deeply liberal framework.

No, I am not in a small town. I am in Washington, D.C., and the store I am talking about is Frager's Hardware on Capitol Hill. See if you have a good local hardware retailer that is tied to the community.

I don't know much else about your circumstances, I am just throwing out an idea...
