Oh, me too, with the loads of debt. I hear you. We have been LIVING on credit cards this last year, and its gotten a bit overwhelming. I havent exactly shared how MUCH I owe, I am afraid to. But I have told him, we owe a LOT, I mean I told him the first three paychecks will be gone, poof, when he starts working, but I never imagined him getting paid weekly, I was thinking more like bi weekly, so when all but about $100 of his paycheck is gone every month...umm, well let me say I am not exactly looking forward to it.
He understands the credit card thing, and is like Henry, he HATES debt. He hasnt had much choice tho, he also owes his brother back home an overwhelming amount for Guyana, over $5,000 and I wouldnt be surprised if its more like 10k, US. His brother has also been helping to support Lakes kids back home, since Lake was not working, for this last year and things are getting expensive since the flood, food has skyrocketed and his oldest kid has to take a taxi to school becuz they opened a low income subdivision right on the next block, so crime is rampamt and the kid is not even safe walking past that area.
He just started emailing his kids and I think that was what made him urgent to work, things back home are so bad. Its gonna take a while to get on our feet but with God's help, we will get there. After he gets a steady job and I am not having to run him around so much, I will try to find something too. We really need a scooter or another car soon.
Ok, question, does anyone here ever cook bitter melon, aka Carela? I just cooked it for the first time by myself, Lake is at work. I have watched him a dozen times, but I am tellin ya, I need practice cuz mine tastes like crap!
