    And it's funny that over the course of these past five years, I still haven't gotten around to doing any of those readings.  ;D  In my defense, I have completed two masters degrees, so I haven't exactly been sitting on my hands.

    Yes you've been busy for sure.  I've managed to avoid bankruptcy for what four years now?  Try managing almost half a million dollars of debt on $30,000 a year income.  Okay it's a more complicated than that, but the stress is not pleasant. 🙁

    Wow, I didn't realize it was that bad.  Sorry to hear that.  We should chat sometime…you used to have that chatroom on one of your sites, but I think it must be gone now.
