It's not rude, it is this way. My BIL owns a lobster boat. He doesn't hire someone new to the area until he's sure they're going to stay. It takes too long to train a stern man to have him leave in a month.

Does yor BIL live in Eastport? DH has always had a very physical job and would love to work on the water. Just saying, you never know if I could line up a job that may cut the 13 years of waiting down to 5 or so! |

Pardon me; the Politically correct phrase is 'Global Warming', not 'white stuff'. |
