I went from having a pretty solid job to a lead that wound up in a THREE HOUR interview! Luckily they didn't hire me. They went out of business in about 6 months, and I did a few different things until I ended up working for a buisness that I later purchased, did very well with, the sold off all of the fixtures and inventory, semi-retired, and now work for the local school district while my children are all in college,,,,,so far they haven't needed to take out any loans....YEAH!!!<br /><br />Yak-King blues<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7918949051637852549.post-19043955860477685432012-10-19T07:23:11.985-07:002012-10-19T07:23:11.985-07:00Yeah, us failing in GA the first time actually tur...Yeah, us failing in GA the first time actually turned out to be a good thing in the long run as well.

It was a gamble because if I lost it would financial impact family, but since I have won (or at least so far), it has had many positive impacts on my family. My stress levels are reduced, I get to visit Arizona every once in awhile, and I am happy being part of a team.<br />(I follow your blog already and I will share on facebook !)Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15384055532754427132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7918949051637852549.post-40978261050813094982012-10-18T10:27:32.082-07:002012-10-18T10:27:32.082-07:00That's always scary.That's always scary.BOOTYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17136581514176059719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7918949051637852549.post-12149983610159507372012-10-18T10:26:28.885-07:002012-10-18T10:26:28.885-07:00Starting out fresh and blind in a new city is a sc...Starting out fresh and blind in a new city is a scary thing. I felt that way when I moved to Oklahoma City to go to school. Fortunately for me, although I didn't see it that way at the time, I flunked out of the school (by less than two points!) and ended up having an old friend drive me home to Arizona...a year later said friend and I were married.<br />BOOTYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17136581514176059719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7918949051637852549.post-3890728405301738572012-10-18T10:24:15.491-07:002012-10-18T10:24:15.491-07:00Here's hoping the horse was a great thing to h...Here's hoping the horse was a great thing to have in your life.BOOTYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17136581514176059719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7918949051637852549.post-47236252685862323662012-10-18T10:17:39.451-07:002012-10-18T10:17:39.451-07:00Giving up.rootsGiving up.rootsBaqashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02306034401135147664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7918949051637852549.post-58050102810312624252012-10-18T10:17:07.080-07:002012-10-18T10:17:07.080-07:00Oops, I see I commented on the wrong post.

We moved to Geogia with a newborn, little money, and no job, into an apartment sight unseen. We only had 2 family members in the state. Turned out to be a bad bet at the time, but as life would have it, we moved back to GA a few years later.Hosmersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7918949051637852549.post-21082098863506059762012-10-18T10:08:51.944-07:002012-10-18T10:08:51.944-07:00I bid on a horse...no one bid against me.
