    Default Curveballs of Life

    Hiya Everyone!

    I am very much alive, just been really busy. I kept telling myself I needed to come back and sharpen my skills... but you know how it goes.

    Quick update -- The Old Man got a raise and promotion, the Diva started school again today, and I am leaving for Philly in the morning.

    I just wanted to let the Village know that there hasn't been a week that went by that I didn't think about you all!
    I can't be out of money... I still have checks left!

    Glad to see you V!
    If you could kick in the pants the person responsible for your problems, you wouldn't be able to sit for a month.

    Did you know that a 4 year student paying $20,000/year who finances their education graduates with over $103,000 in debt to start? But a student who works and pays cash and takes 6 years to graduate ends with $6,300 in their pocket! So much for "getting a head start by financing!"
