  Seems to be working.  :)

  They weren't terribly important.  There's been plenty of conversation popping
up that's replacing it regardless.  If you feel like going back, though, don't
let me stop you.  Heh.

  Yeah she's even offering me a potential job at the pizza place that she's
working at, being as things have been so off and on with the contract work
lately.  Only problem is I don't know if I can handle the type of work that is
going on there with the volume of traffic that goes through.  I guess there's
one way to find out, though.  I certainly need something that I can count on;
at this point at the end of this month my savings will be gone.  :(
  I was finally able to re-find my son's phone now, too.  Which definitely
helps for security if he's going to be out and about.  Soon as he got it he
ended up calling his friend, they've been talking almost nonstop until I
realized that the phone was pay-per-minute.  I'm gonna have to do the math on
how much of that we can afford at this point, but it's good that he's got
someone to communicate with.  I really need to get this place up to par for
having his friend over where they can have more space a little more often, too,
but it is soooooo hard to keep this place up properly with three people living
in a one bedroom apartment.

  We'll see how it goes, anyway.  :)  I hope you're right on those counts!
