I lived through the unemployment system in michigan and it was frustrating. I wish I knew more about how many others were and are unemployed. Being unemployed is so isolating.
In my county, unemployment was at half the level of my state in December, which is pretty cool, I guess.

Rachel Ray's Complicated History With Baking.
My surname is Rae and my oldest brother has a daughter named Rachel. One time perhaps 15 years ago during a lunchtime conversation at work, some of my coworkers were saying, "Rachael Ray doesn't bake -- she's a cook." I said, "Oh no, Rachel bakes! She has her own Easy Bake Oven." Whereupon everyone was all, "Oh HA HA." Rachel, who is now 24, has heard and made many jokes about her celebrity namesake for most of her life, and amusingly she is quite into baking, but not cooking, and has even taken some cake decorating courses.
