This represented a more than 50% drop in income Friends and neighbors thought us crazy. Nine years later I was diagnosed with late third stage cancer. After surgery, I was given a 20% chance of survival for two years. Luckily, I was a statistical exception (8years and counting). ...work and wealth are two of the weakest reasons for not focusing on the things that really give meaning to living. Sorry if this rant sounds preachy... Not preachy at all. Very well put. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Thanks for sharing that with us!

And I get home so late, if I spend ANY time in the garage I miss out on ANY time with him. He'd be asleep when I get in. That's one of the signs. 2nd...Driving down the road, having SubWay for the 2nd night in a row, because it'll be 7:00 or later by the time we get home (my wife and I work together-no we didn't meet at work). Boy this sucks!! I need this weekend bad.
