I don't know why everyone was jumping on AF-Wife for being "mean". Come on.
In my opinion, writing on a message board is not much different from talking to people in real-life. Try to be polite and try to express yourself clearly. In face-to-face conversations this would mean: Don't mumble, face the person, etc. In a written conversation online: Try to use (semi-) correct spelling and punctuation.
Anyway, to the OP: Glad to hear everything is under control. Hope things work out for you guys.

I don't really understand the problem people have with presidents/first ladies visiting foreign countries. IMO, that's part of their job description.

Does this mean that Republicans are too lazy to google stuff and rather get everything pre-filtered by Fox News?

Congrats.
I'm ticked off a little as we went through the "official" process and are still in it. #######. Seems unfair to me.

I never understood why unions have such a bad reputation here. The principle behind unions is sound, I think, who wouldn't want to wield some power as a collective? Maybe things just got taken too far. Doesn't mean there shouldn't be unions.
As far as the article goes, the family didn't whine, I think. They just said that 43K a year isn't a lot for a family of four, which I believe to be true. Hell, my husband and I live on more and we're not exactly rolling around in money.

^ not in economics though, ey?
I wouldn't hire the guy because he's old.
That's right, I'm ageist.
