My wife's "position eleminated" today.

[FUCK THE POLICE]

Now I am the sole bread winnner... damm this is stressfull.


I hope the economie turns around soon. I am finally feeling its affects. WE are going to have to do with $100,000 less until she finds a new job.

We do with 100k amongst five people Jarod.

It's not so bad. We even got a fancy TV this christmas. Haven't gotten a new computer since 2000 though. (I'm serious)

Ive always told my son its not how much you make but what you do with it that counts.

 

[uscitizen]

Damn, this also explains why you hate church. This bitch has victims.

Naah I don't hate church. I just do not believe in a supreme being or afterlife.
Some good people in that church. And some with their heads up their butts.

You shouldn't lie to him like that, Desh.

He'll wind up a Philosophy or Literature major.

 

[Jarod]

Well maybe you guys should rent a cheaper house too?

With 75,000 you can use some of that as a down on a house and buy while she stays home. I know some women hate being home but it is very rewarding to be with your own children and enjoy their youth fIrst hand for a couple of years.

We discussed that we will move to a less expensive home if she does not get a new job shortly.

 

[Jarod]

Best comment yet .. and therein lies the truth of what's before you my brother.

How much of "lot" is necessary?

Money and things do not equate to happiness, peace, or even success. Only people who've never had it believe that.

It's just a new beginning, a new chapter, and a new challenge for you and your wife .. and a test of the strength between you two.

Just a thought .. perhaps creating a business may be the answer.

Thanks for sharing the thought, I agree creating a business is one of the possabilities in the works.

I want him happy.

I have also always told him to do what he loves.

I want him to be a decent and happy person.


Money isnt everything and you can have a decent life with just a modest income.


The trick is to use your excess money correctly and to recognise what you truely need as opossed to what this thing oriented society tries to make you believe you HAVE to have.

Things break, Happiness based on them is fleeting.

Moving can be a great way to start anew.

Kids love having a parent at home. I loved the hell out of being home and its no shame for any parent to stay home for awhile.

Its time this society allowed a man or woman to stay home part of their working carreer.

I think the stage is set to have society allow for this.

When we get to a point where men are not frowned upon for doing this a coulple of years out of their carreer we will have TRUE female equality as well as healthier families.

this proves you don't have a clue of what you're talking about.

 

[Sammy Jankis]

wow.

Desh and the concerns of what to do with the excess money. wow.

Folks. All it takes is one or two bad things.....

Bad things happen to some people.

 

[Topspin]

I know i'd rent right now, you can prob rent a nice house for half what your paying

 

[evince]

this proves you don't have a clue of what you're talking about.

Have you never known a happy poor person?

I have.

You are surely a very unhappy person.

 

[SmarterthanYou]

I have.

You are surely a very unhappy person.

unhappy? yes. it tends to happen when your spouse has a critical heart condition that needs surgery that you can't afford because you make too much for medicare but not enough to afford the insurance. yes, i'm unhappy.

 

[evince]

unhappy? yes. it tends to happen when your spouse has a critical heart condition that needs surgery that you can't afford because you make too much for medicare but not enough to afford the insurance. yes, i'm unhappy.

I am very sorry to hear of you and your wifes plight.

If I were in your position I would be unhappy too.

Heres a thought, if its an emergency situation then divorce your wife, get her the surgery and then remarry.

Obama will fix this situation if you have time. Bush and Republican party gave you this current untenable situation.

My sympathy. It is about enough to turn a guy into a liberal sometimes.
Lots and lots of people out there in the same boat guy. I am hoping some of this stimulus will help many in such situations.
See I do believe in building from the bottom up.

 

[uscitizen]

was that just supposed to be humor, or were you trying to be facetious? I ask because i've noticed you have a very difficult time thinking outside the average perceptions of a moron.

Ohh like WOW! That turned out much better than I had anticiapted.

 

[Sammy Jankis]

Naah I don't hate church. I just do not believe in a supreme being or afterlife.
Some good people in that church. And some with their heads up their butts.

I actually hate church. It's borinng. And repetitive. Always the same shit over and over. Not like seinfeld.

 

[SmarterthanYou]

Ohh like WOW! That turned out much better than I had anticiapted.

well, i tried to be polite about it.

 

[evince]

Seriously STY, divorce your wife and get her the opperation.

If a society forces you as a person to do this to save her life than its worth the hassle.

Your love for each other is bigger than a court doc.

I would do it for my loved one.

 

[uscitizen]

btw STU, I challenge your sig line of " The conspiracy of ignorance masquerades as common sense"

That is true, but deceptive as not all common sense is made up of the conspiracy of ignorance.
