Maybe those eager masses of young men and women wouldn't have been so hot to sign up if, for instance, they understood that anyone enlisting in the military right now – whatever branch – is required to sign a document that states: "Laws and regulations that govern military personnel may change without notice to me. Such changes may affect my status, pay allowances, benefits and responsibilities as a member of the Armed Forces REGARDLESS of the provisions of this enlistment/re-enlistment document." (DD Form4/1, 1998, Sec.9.5b).

I think the military has always had this in their directives..
It's been revised over the years to 'fit' in todays society but I remember being told when I entered the U.S. Navy back in 1988 that I was now 'Government Property' and everything else (including family) was secondary..

another doublepost, you know what the root cause of all this is? Cartoons, just take a look at this 67 cartoon featuring Scrooge Mcducks first appearance

What do kids learn from todays cartoons? Who lives in a pineapple under the sea. Dora would be a good show if it wasn't so mindbendingly boring.

Well so far we've 'Weathered the Economic Storm' personally pretty well and now it's down to the last 3 weeks before our vacation and making sure we have enough to cover the Crucial bills fist and for most..
We're even considering a plan to use the December house payment of my brother in law's house (who got deported a year and a half ago back to Mexico) to cover our house payment till we get back in January and we bring home more profits from our boutique to cover the late December bills along with the bills rolling in for January till tax season starts kicking into high gear..

Looking at the job listings, it almost looks like hiring has been put on hold on the approach to the holidays.....

So long as those 'moving parts' proceed as planned, we'll be Golden!

Actually exploring pulling about $3000 out of my IRA just in case we need it and we'll pay the penalty on our taxes by April 15

This week will be a Busy week for us..
We got our contract signed for our new location for a branch of our Spanish services business that will officially open January 12 and we expect to be Very Busy tapping into the Latino market..

The location is called 'Plaza Fiesta Carolinas' http://www.plazafiestacarolinas.com
Located right next door to Paramount's Carowinds theme park.

While many businesses are struggling, this place has been growing and doing quite well during these tough economic times so we hope we'll have a very successful tax season!

Well, We Made It!!

We Barely survived this year and now we're closing down for our month long vacation in Mexico to sell as much merchandise as possible before Christmas which will help pay for the bills that'll be waiting for us upon our return, and when we return, we will be running 2 Spanish service Tax offices and look to rebuild our depleted savings in a matter of months

Unfortunately, I know of several businesses that didn't make it.. They have already closed or will be closed before Christmas
One of them is my favorite delivery restaurant; 'Steak-Out'.
I just ordered my last meal from them a little while ago and they will be closing for good after tonight

The Sham Wow guy has a lot of free time on his hands, maybe he can help out.

He charges too much.. And besides, he doesn't look very trust worthy there
