Got to go run errands. Back in a bit.

My parents were lucky with my brother and I. College was less expensive than the Catholic High schools we had been in. And in my case it was just part of the cost of books due to scholarships and state financial aid, and because we lived at home, there was also no dorm expenses.

Thanks for posting this.

General Sanchez seems to be the right general for the job he has.

[Grampa Dave]

Private High Schools can be very expensive.

College was less expensive than the Catholic High schools we had been in.

you have that right. We're thinking of sending the kids straight to college after middle school :o)

[Conspiracy Guy]

Best I can tell it is lost in the 16,000 plus replies I've made in the past 12 months.

[Fiddlstix]

4 years of two in college oldest changed major and got sick took 5 years. So I agreed to help youngest through grad school. Oldest got married in Sep 03 since oldest is female 1 wedding paid for. 1 year apart in school, driving, ect.... Youngest is son so no more weddings to buy. Oldest picked husband well. Youngest already has good position starting after grad school.

Next fall I'll take a 6 mo sabatical.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Sheesh. I could be driving a Ferrari under those conditions.

When we made the decision to move a few years ago, one of the criteria for where we would go was schools. In this region there are very few private schools and most charter schools do not offer kindergarten.

She started kindergarten this year, more than 2 years after we chose this area partly based on the school district. We were getting to crunch time for enrollment, when we finally sold our house and were getting ready to enroll her in one of the few charter schools in lower Delaware that does offer kindeergarten - but it would entail nearly an hour drive each way and it was only half day school.

Yes she is in public school, but in a district that, at least to me, appeared to about the best on the Delmarva Peninsula. Because there are so few private, Catholic or Christian schools - they can pretty much demand whatever they wish in the way of tuition and without me working - totally out of the picture no matter what we cut back on, and there really is not enough for us to cut out of the budget to have covered the cost.

[Fiddlstix]

Thanks, Fiddlstix!

How are you doing? Any new projects lately?

You're welcome J

I'm doing okay except for a touch of the flu.
I have so many projects going right now that it'd take a page or two to list them all.
My "small" remodeling project has become major construction project. I've added to the house. I'm rebuilding the old barn and the shop. I'm also adding a guest house just to name a few.
I'm keeping pretty busy these days.

[Gabz]

[Conspiracy Guy]

I'm cereal.

[Gabz]

I'm toast...........or at least will be if I don't get something done around here today.

[Conspiracy Guy]

I couldn't find the old one so i wrote a new one.

Freedom

Freedom isn’t free you know,
But freedom can’t be bought.
The bill is never paid in full,
The final fight’s not fought.
We fight for freedom everyday,
The battle’s worth the cost.
If ever we should stop the fight,
Our freedoms will be lost.
So click that donor window now,
Sign up and show you care.
FreeRepublic needs your help,
It doesn’t run on air.
