Yeah I figured your analyzing and venting was confined to this place. Just checking.

I'm in the same place as you as far as GAL. Nothing around here and finances tight. So for me it's been the same as you. I take my dog for runs. Funny how many people I end up socializing with on those runs though. My dog is very unusual looking and everyone wants to stop and pet her. That makes for a lot of casual meetings.

You're headed towards career? I avoid that. I've been self employed for far too long.

Hopefully the financial sitch changes for both of us. I'm seeing some very positive signs lately. All these extra hours that I'm not spending accomodating my w are really looking like they may pay off on the financial side.

You ever read Wallace Wattles. His writings really changed my outlook on money. T. Harv Ecker is pretty good too. All of his stuff is borrowed but he's pretty good at distilling ideas from many of the great authors of the past. Good stuff even if not original.
