Congrats Sparkplug! Masters make more money. Go for the masters!
Wish I could attend your graduation and party. I'll be there in spirit!

Congrats Sparky! You go girl!!!
You do need to put that degree to use. Are there open opportunitities at your company? Many companies do hire new college grads. You'd probably be favored over someone fresh off the street.
Es- I wish you were here too.
Luna. Thanks bunches...(How is that for proper grammer?) hehe
Mary, now I am chomping at the bit to get the interview.
Serendipity, my company is on a quest to screw managers up the bumm. Tacky way to say it, but my direct heads make less than I do and have to pay for benefits. When you come from within the company the best you get is 10 percent and you have to be in most positions 24 months. They just merged with a bunch of companies and managment is the first to go. Funny, I have been pushed for managment for at least 5 years now. It just to me seems the company culture is going places I do not agree with at all. So I am open to a change and a better posibility of more money for the family.
Auld soul- "Well life on the farm is lay back an low, I pull out my fiddle and rosin up th bow...kids are asleep so I keep it kinda low......................thank God I'm a country boy! " You know you cant shake all the country out of a gal!
Robdar- Missouri is not far at all...really! I have made many a trip to St James.
Wendy, I hope it helps someone. I don't know what all stilla is going through but I will look it up. I really do not mean this as a TOOT MY HORN THREAD, it is just I am sitting here and wondering how in the world I have done these things. I really think that even more than the usual JW I started behind the 8 ball. I just kind of slept thru my youth. like a bubble I have said before.
I think it is really due to my kiddos. There have been some really bad times, but overall there is a lot of love and they make me go to school when I don't want to.
Ok, here is the next sermon. It is hard. And you cry, and on occation call someone for an answer. You cuss and you get razz from people to stay with your kids, and how neglegent you are for going off to school, and you get flack from friends and then they leave you. They say you are changing when actually you want to be mad they said that, but it is true. I found I demand more, and am more firm on things I don't like. I felt pulled in 100 directions and sometimes if you are pursuing some romance...it is just not going to happen. this paper is due, this kid is mad, this check was short, or you just did not give attention to people you should have. I admit. I dropped some friends. I found some arguments or whines were just draining. I found out that I did not have patience for it. Fix your problem. sure cry a bit. Loose your mind..Lord knows I have...and then get up and keep going. I also found out that I can whine and that no matter what we learn there is always something to come along and humble you.
So laugh a bit at this gal' who is writing in past, present, future third and first party and such and so on... probably with typos, and is getting her BS.
OH I forgot to say, I learned even the most intelligent people I know like to make smileys with the keystrokes. ;0)
Yay Girl!!!
I'm so proud I could burst! Education is addicting isn't it? The more I learn the more I want to learn.
<<I strongly urge all of you to go after what you want. Go after it hard. Because in my head the only difference between people that have and people that have not. Is one got out of bed and went to the gitt'ing store and got it!>>
I very strongly agree with you. Don't bitch about your life unless you are willing to do something about it.
Did I catch possible free education for you? Would your kids get a discount on tuition as well? Sounds like something to reall consider.

Let us clasps our hands and pray...hehe. But really my tounge is on the roof of the mouth and my fingers are crossed.
It helps to have such a group of people eager to eat up life on here. Like you! Now if we could just make a jazzercize class...
Thanks Dams
I'll do a "free tution for all" dance in your honor!
There will be no pictures :P

Robdar- Missouri is not far at all...really! I have made many a trip to St James.
I'm not sure where St James is. I'm in Kansas City for now. What part of TX are you in? If you've said, I've forgotten, sorry. PM me if you wish. I'm in the mood to get out of town.
Congratulations Sparkplug!! Your an inspiration for all of us contemplating or actually going for that degree and getting that education that many put off or was mentally captive by an organization that held some back. I'm at the halfway mark but dont know when I will be able to go back and finish; there are all kinds of obstacles but you managed to hang in there and do it!! I'm so happy for you!
dams-

But I love photos!
Oh and Little Rockguy. Things change in a day you never know. Things are changing fast for me now, but then too not fast enough. It will come around...the winds of change and you will get the chance again to jump. Possibly I should have taken it at a wiser pace and using a bit more caution in some places. I could have kept a bit of sanity if I had thought it out.
Tell me when you do go back. I might join Dams in a naked free tuition dance. No pictures please.
