Hello Asante,

Long time no see. How r u doing? I've been reading your posts on student loans, and I just grit my teeth when I see that. I didn't take out any loans because I thought I couldn't handle the repayment of the loans. So I worked full time and studied full time. Being FOB then, I didn't know anything about credit and had no clue I could ease my course and work load somewhat with a loan. In a few years when you have that better job or qualify for something else, you're going to forget about the pain of the student loans. Besides, I think students should now lobby Congress to give a student loan bailout. Right?

Hey ya'll. I've been just enjoying my vacation and haven't been online much. I got your note and I have no problems with anyone on here. I'm so happy with my hubby, ya'll could set me on fire and I might not notice. I think that a lot of the recent bickering on SS is emotional. The holidays are a horrible time to be away from someone you love and it can be overwhelming watching others' joy no matter how much you wish them well. I hope everyone finds peace and has a wonderful New Year. God has much in store for all of us.

Less than one and a half hours to go until New Years and I just want to bless everyone in SS and thank you all for being there for me this entire year. I first happened upon VJ in 2005 before my SO arrived and until this date, you are the only people who know and have walked this entire journey with me. 2008 rang in with my SO being hauled away to the "head farm" and then me trying to sort out the mess that was left behind. I know this is and has been a tough journey for some and I stand firm when I say that my situation is rare and unusual. I was lucky enough to experience mental illness in a loved one and should have played the lottery instead of learning about the various head diseases that exist. So to all who are still waiting for their SO's, I say many of your problems will be cultural. Find a way to work them out. To those whose SOs are here, find a way to things out. To those whose Sos aren't what you expected, live with what you have and work it out. To the ones who think their SOs need to be hauled away to the "head farm", run and jump in the wagon first because I think the "head farm" is might have answers that I don't have.

So I say good-bye to 2008, head farms, interviews gone wrong, black-mail, realizations that life won't be what I planned and hello to ????????????

Hugs,

Chispas

Wow! Great minds think a like. I was just telling my mom that a few months back. Stating lets start at the bottom where students are in CC debt and student loan dept, but can't get a job to pay this back. Eliminate the student loan dept so they can afford to take job that pays them less money, while getting through the recession.
