I'm sad... it's tough being a parent. I'm being pushed and tested to the limits of my humanity, and it's just me against the whole world.

Dang Smooth, I remember driving my parents mad. Hang in there.

On other news, just got back to Texas from being up there in the twin cities. My job search still continues, somewhat stagnant. It's odd how recruiters don't contact me back. Seems ChemE's are not needed as much in msp as here in Texas.

On a different note, been going through some of the twin city meet threads and seems there is a good group. Hope to join eventually with the Z.

Sick photo Lance, and yes I have been to several of them not any yet this year. Should have went to the one last night since it was a bit closer then the last one. Some of the stuff is really cool and I like some of the people but ricekiller meets tend to attract a lot more d bags then say something like cars and coffee where it is a bit more classy.

I'd fully agree. I went to my first one not last night but the week before. My car got a LOT of attention...but man I almost didn't trust my car around some of the people there??? I HATE that feeling!!!!

Thanks, I'm hanging in there.

Good luck with the job search. I hope you get one here.

You know Tara's a saint because she stays at home and takes care of the boys. Not many people can do that these days and keep their sanity.

It's not what you think, though. Brandon is going through some tough times, and we just feel bad for the little guy. He's going to have to tough it out and figure it out on his own.

I tried getting drunk and having Tara abuse me, but that didn't help Brandon.

I can't wait until payday either! I think it will have my raise in it.

Tara and I have been looking for the week long vacation up north. I think she'll let me do the proving grounds. Just need to schedule it in. When is it again? I need the link.
