I'm sorry you had to sell it and that your finances have been so bad, Bryne. These are really tough, lousy financial times, man. I can't get over it. I'm a teacher; this is my 14th year teaching. I made more money in 2004 then I do in 2011. I've had my pay frozen 3 years and two years of furlough/pay cuts. Our health insurance has gone from free to really high as well. We're on a one-income and my wife is in the RN Nursing program with 3 semesters left. We're just itching for the day she graduates. One income family with a husband and wife, a 5, 4, and 3 year old....not easy, man. My parents have helped us out a lot. I hate that. I hate that I've had to accept their offers of help. I can hardly wait for Kate to work and my being able to pay them back....
Teaching is not exactly a financially lucrative enterprise.
Hope everything gets better for you and you can get Kolchak back, man! He's worth it!
I hope things get better for you, two.
We have been a no income family for two year...well...no earned income. We do get a disability check. We have had to accept help from my parents...this is hard on my husband, especially. But we do see the light at the end of the tunnel...and as long as it isn't an oncoming train, things will soon be looking up. I just finished my first clinical, and my preceptor wrote on my evaluation sheet that I was the best student she has had to date.
I wish I had gone into nursing.
I wish I had actually put effort into science in high school.
I ended up wasting money studying something I love (religion), which has no practical application and leaves me unqualified for the types of jobs I am interested in (medical receptionist, etc.).
I don't have the money to go back to school.
Man, I sound really depressed. I'm actually just frustrated because job searching isn't going well, and I have to pay back my student loan.

Whats Baklava taste like?I'm guessing these people have never eaten any of our food either. Do you know how much garlic the yia-yias must go through in a year?
Whats Baklava taste like?
Heaven.... especially if it is warm and smothered in vanilla icecream (I'm wierd).
Actually it tastes like if you took the flakey bits off a croissant, layered them with finely chopped walnuts, and soaked the whole thing in honey.
If there is one thing that TAE shows us..it's that we Orthodox have a drinking problem
What's this? A deacon?
Problem? It seems pretty evident to me that most of us here can do it like a champ!
I heard Orthodox try to drown babies and make them drink blood...just some stuff I heard.
You should have seen us while we were trying to go into a meat coma on Pascha. I know there is no Pascha bunny, but *someone* put a bottle of Russian vodka in my basket.
My second Pascha, we were eating and I kept hearing this 97 year old man shout "будем здоровы!" (sorry if that is wrong... my Russian is crappy) every few minutes and then there would be peals of laughter. It wasn't until later that someone told me what was going on.
