(We didn't win the bid.) I recently noted with some irony that Chavez is nationalizing the phone company again.<BR/><BR/>I always enjoy reading your posts and wish you could get high-speed Internet so you could post more conveniently.Runawayimaginationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11392405682285496123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20637018.post-17916868218671854232007-08-07T20:28:00.000-05:002007-08-07T20:28:00.000-05:00Hi, Sarabeth.

Once there, I enjoyed it, but leaving was hard. I could say the same about living in Germany. <BR/><BR/>There are always trade-offs. Which is better?<BR/><BR/>- To get a job in a place where you can see a little of the world and remember it the rest of your life?<BR/>- To stay where you have the support of extended family, and the kids can really get to know their grandparents? <BR/><BR/>There is no right answer.Genevieve Netzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08004780820713448880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20637018.post-77435030944637351402007-08-07T10:46:00.000-05:002007-08-07T10:46:00.000-05:00I enjoy posts like these.
