.....I can't get the smell of sh!tting my pants out of my mind

Don't worry... I'm sure when your kids put you in a nursing home later in life that smell will be all too familiar....

Was it affected by 9/11?

Mine was, just before they green carded me they naturalized (!!!!) 2 guys with 'known terrorist connections' who were even on the do not admit at borders list.

It was January 2003 before I got my card, set back by that stuff.

yeh, it seems like a big mess after 9/11  i mean i'm sure with time* we could confidently and accurately track down all pplication forms, data, etc and fill them out right.  but without tons of time for such,  and the risk/reward of f'ing it up...  just pay the damn attorney to do it right.. although, the story about hats sounds familiar.

the risk/reward of f'ing it up... 

That was the single thing that led me to an attorney at all.

Fear factor is well worked on by those guys.

He was still useless, unless you needed an ass for a hat, of course.

We're doin' pretty good all things considered.

-House- but there is enough equity in it that we could sell it and walk away with probably close to 100k...-mortgage- is about 1k/month for 2300 sq foot split level

-Cars- are paid off

-Credit Cards- we've done pretty good, we do have one that's at about 4k right now, we keep telling the girls (19 & 17) to be sooooo careful with ccards, they probably won't listen. 

-401k- we both have one, but I'm losing my job here soon so I won't be adding to it until I find another job

All in all I ain't complainin', It's never been about money or materialistic needs for me, just lookin' to be a good person in this life and move up in my next, to maybe a dog.

1. Mortgage - but as with Seamus we have enough equity that if we invested $80-90 in a remodel/additio we could sell it and pay cash for a really nice home in town. we are considering that.

2. Student loan about $10k

3. One car about $2k left.

No credit cards

We got out of month to month about 1 year ago. We took a 50% cut in income when my wife decided to quit her executive job and stay at home with our kids. Best decision she ever made. Between some changes and my increased salary we have made it back to the other side.
