wow mike, didn't know your son was in irag!! the last i heard he had just joined and if i remember correctly, you weren't a happy camper. may God be with him and bring he and his unit back safely.
as far as unemployment, i feel your pain friend. if you remember, in december of 04' i accepted a job with a volumn builder about an hour and a half from my home town. we moved there and everything was well for about 18 months. after hurricane katrina, we had a surge of building and we could hardly keep up. about 8 months after katrina, BOOM, the homebuilding market dried up to nothing in my area!! right after they gave me the axe, i found out i had another child on the way! so here we are unemployed and pregnant!! i managed to scratch out a living until our apartment lease was up and we moved back to my hometown in january of this year and i picked up building houses again. we're doing well now and the Lord has blessed abundantly. i know He's gonna do the same for you friend.
import car? yeah, i'd say iwata is the mercedes of airbrushes. brain washed? feels great to be cleansed friend. later.
