Yuxz guyz emulated the Sou'herrn a'xcent perfect'lie. :) I've had a bit of a blow to my trip. I'll try and work on a post about it tomorrow. I've had no internet for a week. I had all non essential utilities including internet cut off, because I "Thought" I was leaving next week. Things have changed considerably. Basically, it boils down to money as it always does. I have enough for the three month trek but not enough if I get a job. To get a work visa, a person has to prove that he or she has enough money to last for six months. From what I gather, I'd need about twelve grand to get the visa. I don't have it. So, unless my family gets really empathetic or I get a scholarship of some sort, I will not be able to stay. I made a promise to be back by March, and I stand by that promise. Although, I hope and pray to be back before then. I've signed back up for classes at the local University. I'm supposed to start next Friday. God, if I could only go to school in Ireland, Scotland, or England. That'd be so...so...grand!!! :) I'll formulate this into a post tomorrow. Thanks everyone for commenting. Thanks for the comments all. Yuxz guyz emulated the Sou’herrn a’xcent perfect’lie. :)

Not surprising that religious groups are involved in supporting the conservatives really, they're a major contributor to the Republican movement. As for dumbing down the language . . bit rude I think . . probably written by some Washington hack whose only contact with a Southerner was watching the Beverley Hillbillies . . don't sweat the small stuff my friend!

I did not come to this decision on a whim. I've been in the planning stage for two months. I will take your advice into great consideration as well as friends abroad and at home. Honestly, right now is probably the worst time to go, but I'm not gong to live forever so... Enough about me, how are you doing? :) Suzan, thank you for the advice.

Always good to hear from you. Regarding what you wrote... Dublin has become one of the most expensive cities in Europe. The unemployment rate here has soared...and will get higher in the coming months. The number of social welfare recipients has also soared to the thousands in these last months. And several hundreds each week are losing their jobs at offices and factories in different parts of Ireland. Thousands of people have lost their jobs already from just last January to now. It would be wise to consult your friends in Ireland or your family before you make a major decision. Just my 2 cents worth. warmest regards Hi Jeff,
