We will always need programmers to run these machines and machinists to operate them. The question about machinists and welders is mute. Welding is outsourced as we speak and on a grand scale. The retrofit of Bay Bridge in San Francisco Bay is delayed because of the sections of the bridge, made in China are on back order. Welding is done in China. To keep the jobs here we need to acquire skills in multiple disciplines and be good at them.

Every time I go back home, I only eat URDA with tomatoes. For 2-3 weeks. My favorite cheese is called URDA, it’s the Romanian version of Ricotta, I think.

We are all in the same boat,I guess its because of our age, and the amount of friends and relatives we are blessed to have.I have had one call this week ,one close call this week ,and a scare.I have asked the Rabbi how to conduct a wedding and a funeral at the same time just in case--so this topic is on my mind. This brings me to the point of my discussion and question.What is the best response to a friend who has a death in the family,what should you say or not say? Dear Lloyd–I am very sorry for your cousin.

Tragic and sad. Maybe what might help get those awful images of your cousin's breakdown 48 years ago and the "eccentrism" of his death out of your mind would be, if you can find a way, to provide him with the dignity in death that he probably rarely was treated with in life. You can not "un-ring a bell", but you might be able to give Don and yourself the kind of closure we all would want under the right circumstances. It's a tough one, friend. Lloyd,

Very emotional and touching. I doubt that there will be alot of responses. The thing I ask myself is what could I do to help someone else. In a world where it's all about get-get and very little give-give people don't like to get messy. We should get messy, because it's in helping others that we can really find ourselves. Who is that person that is "our neighbor" that we can love on today. A fellow worker an employee in the shop someone I meet in the store. The world is full of people in need such as Don, but there are few that would take the time to love another. Take that time and find yourself in someone else's pain and suffering.

Who knows what is necessary to push someone over the edge. I remember when I was just a freshman or sophmore being absolutely humiliated by a American History teacher who asked me a question about modern music. She didn't realize our family didn't have the money for radios, record players, etc. So I never had the opportunity to to listen to music. She didn't just ask the question once, she had to beat on it 4 times. Every one of my classmates laughed at me, all because I didn't know the name of an artist that sang a popular tune. Lloyd,
