Ah yes, forgot to mention that. Last December the PT's head gasket blew and we had no way of getting to work. Went up to the bank to get a small loan and they handed us a blank check for up to $25,000. We ended up going with a 2012 Mazda3, since it fell into our price range and got great reviews for safety.

Sucks you had to take a loan, but at least you have reliable transportation now.

So I got this awesome game, currently on sale at GOG.com for $4.49 (regular price is $4.99), for FREE!!!!!! And then I posted a 5-star review of the game on its page (there I go by Jareth247).
Did you actually play the game enough to give it an honest rating?
Yes.

I hear ya. I'm a student right now in Computer Information Systems.

How long you doing the stay-at-home dad thing? I'm in it for the long haul. Another 6 years at least.

Not sure, but so far it seems like I'm in the same boat. Now that Kit is getting promoted and working towards her degree in Funeral Directing, there is very little reason for me to work. In-fact, I'll probably just do a stay-at-home job if I decide to work again. Something like Web Hosting or maybe even do some server work for local businesses.

I don't want to feel like a complete waste of space, so:
:D I've been wanting to get into Kendo for some time now. There aren't any Dojo around here and the Kendo Club is mainly university students, so I'd feel out of place. However, a friend of mine knows someone who might be willing to teach me.
