Recently laid off from the HVAC industry due to the restrictions of my gas fitter certificate, I am having troubles finding another company who'll hire me unless I go back to school to upgrade my license.

I'm over $1000 in debt with montly bills racking up and the employment ressource centre is not offering any help until i've "searched for jobs" for 6 months.

I am expecting a call tomorow to find out if I got a job or not with a company. But again its a starting position with low wage, same problem as before. If I take the job, employment ressources won't help me go back to school anymore.

So do I take the job and pay the $2500 for schooling myself going into further debt? Or would it be more financially logical to turn down the job and wait 4 more months for employment ressources to kick in?

"Pine Forest Forensics Team is...."

Any ideas?

I've posted before about my husband.
Short review: I split this summer, and came back 5 weeks ago. For the first 3 weeks he would wake me up at 3am and have arguments. The last 5 days the Psychiatrist told us not to discuss anything.

Then, today, I returned a loaner car to toyota, speeding to get home, got a ticket, it set me off, boy was I ticked off, and then when I got home my mother called, and I was just chatting, and I told her I had frootloops cereal for dinner. My husband says, "Tell her I offered to make you dinner so she doesn't think I don't cook for you." He completely took it in a wrong direciton, got pissed, started saying the cats smelled.
I said, "okay then i should get up this moment and bathe them?" He said, "Yes". I went up, and filled the tub, then he let the cat out of the bathroom! I said, "why areyou so anrgy? what have you to be angry about?" He said, "I cant be angry? I always told you that you drivet too fast!" and slammed the door to his office.(more)

Do you think it would be too weird or common if I named my baby boy John? My father and grandfathers name is John, and my boyfriends brother's name is Jon, so we were looking at keeping that tradition alive. What do you think?

Safeway condoms - Lightening the load.

Abbey National condoms - because life is complicated enough.

Coca Cola condoms - The real thing.

Duracell condoms - keep going and going.

Macintosh condoms - It does more, it costs less, it's that simple.

Pringles condoms - once you pop, you can't stop.

Burger king condoms - Home of the whopper

Goodyear condoms - for a longer ride go wide

FCUK condoms - no comment required.

Muller light condoms - so much pleasure, but where's the pain

I was in a beautiful park within a grove of cypress trees sitting on soft grass with kind hearted similar minded folks. It was lovely and had a peaceful energy to it.
