My family just moved to Michigan the week of Christmas..My husband had a job lined out the day prior to leaving from Missouri...we arrive. The job offer fell through due to layoffs. BUT...we absolutely loveeee Michigan, and we do not want to leave for any reason. So if we can support Michigan in any way im all for it. And MICoastieMom...i would love to start a garden, or herbs, of some sort for my family and others who are in need.

Buy cars that are built in America regardless foreign car or Detroit 3 car. The profits stay in America via the workers paying American taxes, spending their paycheck at American stores and the company invests in those auto plants in America.

Where as some Detroit 3 car's (made in Canada or Mexico) and some foreign cars are made in a foreign country and the profits don't come back to America via the workers not paying American taxes, not spending it in American Stores and the auto companies investing in the plants in those foreign countries.

I am really sorry to hear that the job fell through. I hope your husband was able to get another one. Also, it's great to have people here that want to be here. This is my home and I want to do what I can to help it. From my family to yours...Welcome to Michigan. We hope you're happy here and stay here.

Thank you so much. No, no job as of yet. But no worries, we make it each day. I believe its much easier to make it when you love where you are, regardless.

More people should have an outlook on life like you do. Best of luck to you.
