Doesn't help that my health insurance (which I really only carry for my wife. I'm fairly healthy....all things considered.) is nearly 1/4 of my check. I'm pretty sure I could take that money (or even a little less, to be honest), put it in a special bank account that I use only for health issue, and be better off.

Thus, why I do not and will never have any kids. God Bless Ya brother. I'm sure you're great at it. But everything you're describing is stuff I already deal with or have dealt with and sure wouldn't appreciate having to do it for Anyone Besides Myself. Minus the health insurance stuff, I don't deal with that. I don't get paid in solid gold bars, I get a check every two weeks like a normal person, so I have no health insurance.

Gear Grinds, let me see... hmmmmm... I'm gonna say "Waiting to be Paid". I was supposed to have received a check between Friday and today and it hasn't arrived. I was really counting on it, so that's a pain in the ass, especially with the holiday week. If it's not here tomorrow I'm gonna have to call somebody about it.
